Right in front of me this reminded me of this mix I listened to over and over n high school. Veru liked author & punisher. I’ve liked them for years too. I’ve got to listen to that new album more. https://youtu.be/zj6MtFDnkT4?si=4VjkDANo3CWDXOVF

Hello, Vietnamese here, let me contribute some funfact, disclaimer its not political talk or diss other countries Its because of Cambodia. In their territory exist an area called the three prince zone, its where Cambodia government has no operation there and completely under autonomous sytem. This zone has been a nightmare for SEA since scam centers, human traffic rings and many other things are hosted and since Cambodian governments for some reason can't control this zone, they have no power nor authority to excercise any law keeping. Vietnamese and Thai people have been the main target of these Cambodian crime lords, they would scam people into abduction with promises of high paying jobs since inflation sucks and people are desperate, they would keep victims in scam centers in a form of slave rings to operate digital scams and would mass spam every single platform available on the internet. Just a bit of trivia from a native.

I’m rewatching Vampire Hunter D (both 1985 and Bloodlust). I’m need to finish watching Hellsing, Nightwalker, Master of Mosquiton, Maryuu Senki, Vampire Princess Miyu along with others. Can’t wait to watch Disney Twilight Wonderland.

@gabriel_true Day 15: I don't know if this will be a long wall of text? But, I just feel the need to say: "God is good, and even better then good." Like, I don't think there are certain things I can share yet...but, God has been calling my sisters and I to trust Him in a way we never truly have before. There has been certain things He's been exposing in my own family that have deeply disturbed, distressed and troubled me, yet that have also made me so exceedingly glad. Why? Because it's all a part of His Perfect Plan and Will for me and my family's lives. There's has been things that God has promised us since 2019 that seem like they'd never happen, but time has not run out, because He's given us the chance to have the eyes to be able to see Him in every step. Sometimes what seems like your delay is actually God's perfect timing. What seems like God being unfaithful is actually the chance to seek Him deeper on what it is that He has been doing for you, because I've come to understand whenever I think something about God that goes against how He says His true character is, that that is my own mind trying to: 1. Deceive me or 2. I just genuinely don't understand (which is fine, but it's better to not assume I'm right because I know I am flawed in all things). Like, God truly cares about even the small things. I said this before, but since I was small, I've always prayed to the LORD about being able to spread/give my love to whomever needs it from me, and lo and behold, all those years later in 2022-23 I arrive to MaiOtaku. Filled with lots of people who have approached me to simply thank me for loving them...I was shocked and also excited when remembering that I'm living an answered prayer: shocked because the request seems so small compared to the things I actually could ask for and excited because God remembers the things that we often forget or no longer believe. I just-the LORD has, is and continues to be amazing, Gabby! Be of good cheer and of great courage wherever you are (and whoever reads this), because while I love you, God loves you all the more. - As God's Done It For Me. He Shall Do It Even Greater For You: Wei-Wei

@rainx My family had every one of those things growing up in the 90s. Except we had the deluxe TV stand that fit a TV up to 27" and had a swing out door on the left for VHS tapes.

Hello, Looking for anyone who enjoys roleplaying? If anyone on this site does.

One of the guys in my group is a Roman Catholic deacon. Never seen him whip out the crucifix on anyone, even if they were possessed. The thing about this guy is, he's a combat vet, with PTSD and needs the pressure of spiritual warefare as kinda an outlet for those high stress situations. I don't know if you could call that a calling, but I can say he is right where he needs to be. We look out for him, and he looks out for us. I don't know what happened to this guy down in Afghanistan, but it kicked him awake, psychically speaking. Lets see, as far as my dealings with Roman Catholics go, there's a lot of that on my uncle's side of the family, but not so much on mine. Funny enough, my brother and I both got baptized by them. They were never toxic about it. Never felt the psychological need to control us. And back in high school, I had friends in St. Mary's, which was the defacto RC school in the county. Going there was like walking into another world. A lot of the kids there saw us and instantly assumed we were delinquents. I always got the sense that they were scared of me every time I tried to ask them where one of my friends was. Meanwhile you'd have some real delinquents there who didn't even bat an eye. I swear, there was this one prick there who had some serious serial killer vibes. There was always this one teacher who had this gruff scowl, and would just kinda leer at us until we left. A lot of the kinds who went there, whether they stayed RC or not just kinda turned out weird. Like you had some who got married and live seemingly normal, well adjusted lives, but I can't say that for everyone. It's like their pent up desires later manifest in life as weird kinks and fetishes because they just weren't equipped to be able to handle them when they hit the outside world. So I think I would try my chances in the standard schooling system, if you do spawn some gremlins into the mortal plane. At least that exposes them to a diverse enough crowd to become more adaptable to the kinda shit life will later throw at them. Keep in mind though, this was a country bumpkin school, and I'm sure more urbanized RC schools might be able to net your kids those experiences as well.
