I found Stoicism and in particular a book called "the Enchiridion" by Epictetus very useful/powerful last year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enchiridion_of_Epictetus npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard The Cross and the Stoa. Seems to be how I'm navigating the pains of life atm. Going to have to do a formal compare and contrast. How they work together, how they Don't and where I sit amongst the tension. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard Everybody laughs at politics, just not at the same time. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub1ftj…4fen praying for you both. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub1mu4…wgrv G'day, which language are you learning? Latinam studeo. (I study Latin). npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard I used my latin skills at work today as a Quality Analyst...

I just ordered 4 more for #inktober . 3 of different line widths(Platinum, preppy) and one of variable width(Sailor, fude). 😀 npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub1quq…83ay I struggled to find the connection between your comment and mine :). For me Utility is a secondary motivation, virtue is my primary. My love for God and humanity are joint. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard so AI just humbled me with the following prompt: "Please review this response I have written for social media.

It helps things grow, right? npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard I made a sling for the roman re-enactment group I'm in. This is a rough draft before I commit to cutting leather. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub1vdn…2ngj interesting. It comes naturally to me, but it's similar to what I do daily as a Test Analyst (to find bugs and write a sensitive bug report). So I'm raising bugs on myself instead... npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard Steps inside my head today: npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub1vdn…2ngj my wife relies on kinaesthesia to locate items.

From a Catholic perspective "to do: read the Deuterocanonical books". npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard Woke up early, unable to sleep so I ran the dishwasher, make a cake (libum 1st century Roman sacrifical honey cake) and a hot breakfast, fed the cat and made breakfast for my wife and now it's 7am npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub16xc…4jqm I like your profile image BTW 👍 npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub16xc…4jqm I'm going to start with the expanded version of Esther. Then move onto Tobit. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard I made music playlist based on the golden rule (Matt 7:12) for me to art to.

Feels more like coming out of orbit to land on planet Christianity. It's analogue not digital. Plotting a course, entered the atmosphere and descending and working out where to land. Mainly how to integrate Scripture, Epiricialism and Stoic philosophy. For now I'm treating anything in scripture as metaphorical until I've hammered out some sort of guideline integration. Certainly in a much better place. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub1yk9…q978 hehe I started doing roman re-enactment this year. I've been learning caligraphy and been making board games using roman techniques (plywood painted with tempera paints).

I've written "A Terror of Pirates" a six adventure campaign for GURPS (Kingdoms of Kalamar). Next I need to add more detail (statistics and battle maps) and review it for "vibe". Then start looking for a group... npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub1l3g…vu48 llo! npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard I started writing up a role playing game campaign based on Courage and Fear. I've not played /GM'd in years. (FWIW GURPS 4e & Kingdoms of Kalamar). npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub1q7t…5fee until you have apologised for inciting for my mother to be murdered don't talk to me about other things.

In the recent post you said "unless they're landlords, then throw them off Mount Doom". Would you like to defend your incitement to murder my mother? You are a Christian so I was surprised by the hatred. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard Played Pirates by Wizkids with a friend.

Having a breather. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard Part of the thinking I've been doing whilst cycling around. Is that i have a Stoic mind and a Christian heart and I've decided, at least for now, to live in the antimony. I don't think the tension will be sustainable in the long term. For now it grants me peace to have a place to stand and be. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. Australia's longest.

If you wanted your gender to be known, declaring it would make sense in that use case. (Jan & Eun-Ji). One hopes for a male-only or female-only dorm they would specifically ask on a form. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard Now I'm getting a better understanding of grammatical gender. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub1vdn…2ngj My parents incorporated me many years ago 😄 npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard Tomorrow I'm visiting a client in person, that I usually work remotely for.

Thinking through the implications and applications first how DIE can be good and bad. In which case DIE committee member would be responsible for setting workplace culture and potentially reporting violations. So similar to a server, I should choose carefully. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard Thinking about Diversity, Inclusion and Equity and how it plays out in the fediverse. Servers block other Servers to make there own servers inclusive. By definition, they are making it exclusive. In their practice they show inclusive means "includes those who I value and excludes those who I do not". It's about changing the grounds of exclusion. Or changing the rules of the gatekeepers. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub1py3…dszx btw, if your question is "who can see my posts" the answer is. The 14 people who follow you. Plus any user on theres.life that looks at the local timeline and any user that is on the same instance as someone who follows you and searches for a hashtag that is in your post. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard Thinking about fun this morning. I'm not good at levity. I'll have to take humour more seriously :-D. "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly" npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub17ae…edqt yes. It's the divine 'thunderbolt' experience. The calling/imperitive to chalk eternity. I've chalked a few Eternities in my time and made a Eternity shirt with paint pens. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard John "McCarthy says even ‘machines as simple as thermostats can be said to have beliefs.’ And indeed, according to him, almost any machine capable of problem-solving can be said to have beliefs." https://www.futilitycloset.com/2024/02/10/hot-air-2/ #belief npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard I visited one of my heroes & chalked his grave. https://www.eternitynews.com.au/in-depth/the-true-story-of-mr-eternity/ #eternity #Australia #Sydney npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard I ❤️ the spirit of this skit 😀 https://youtu.be/2VZYVeNaO7U?si=mw-qKGpQRV17lh25 npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard "It is easier for technology to replace the absolute skills of STEM than other more abstract subjects.

The music picks up and it's foot, then hand join the dance. Clumbsy it plods and with glee it giggles. It linmbs lengthen it moves with the music and gleefully joins others. Into the dance it loses itself. Burbling with joy learning to leap and twist. Moving in time with other dancers (Are my steps right?) An outstretched hand, a twirl a partner he finds. Her tummy swirls and new dancers join the throng. What is the song? Who wrote it? The beat slows, his legs wobble... The song dwindles. It's just as well... he grows tired. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub13dc…qg8l on the positive side. Your posts are still prorogated to their servers? But yah, I had a similar experience. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub13dc…qg8l @npub16xw…q0yp good point. I agree Metaphysics is a good addition to a definition of religion. Football doesn't have metaphysics, but politics can. npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub13dc…qg8l @npub16xw…q0yp why aren't they religions? npub1t3964cyn2vpg9tn6sxf2rh54dzvdfwgpv2fd32wj522ce7kpm0yqj0xe07 Richard @npub13dc…qg8l @npub16xw…q0yp yes, it's an old joke in Australia that football is a religion. :) . This is my favourite definition of religion, because of it's explanatory power. To be able to see and recognise religious behaviour. In both it's good and bad ways. Seeing people at protests. Recognising reactions to desecration of sacred symbols. etc..
