I am officially/publicly looking for a wife! Requirements: Catholic Young (around my age) Virgin Things will likely be easier if you already enjoy something like video games and/or anime

Speaking as an engineer who is also a mystic and occasional mage myself, I'm going to disagree with you slightly on this one, Devon. There is a principled difference between magic and engineering. The difference is this: engineering doesn't care about the state of your consciousness when you push the button. Magic very much does. In fact, the realm of magic could be defined rather precisely as "those parts of natural law that you can't access or manipulate without putting your mind in a significantly altered state of consciousness first". Note that I said nothing about the "supernatural". That's because one of the first things you have to learn in order to do magic in the *very* limited way that is possible in the real world is that there ain't no supernatural anything. In this sense the epistemological monism you ascribe to ancient sorcerers is correct, but their understanding of causality was so poor that being philosophically correct didn't do them much good.

Devon Eriksen@Devon_Eriksen_·
The distinction between engineering and magic is entirely a modern linguistic conceit. To the ancients, a wizard, a magus, a sorceror, was not a man who commanded forces outside the laws of nature. He was a man who commanded the forces of nature, by manipulating them through his understanding of natural law. But the modern word for a man who commands the universe by understanding its laws is "engineer". Yes, the ancient sorceror would try to commune with the spirits of the dead, or read the destiny of kings in the stars, or perform fertility rites to make the crops grow, but this wasn't some special supernatural discipline to him. This was simply his model of how the natural world worked. He would not have made a distinction between understanding heat and phase changes, and thereby distilling alcohol, and cutting out the intestines of a bird to predict the fortunes of a business venture. Both, to him, were philosophy and natural law. But as our understanding of the laws of physics grew more sophisticated, we gradually exiled the term "magic" to that which had not been proven to work, and to that which had been proven not to work. Were we given the opportunity to take an ancient Egyptian king on a tour of modern society, riding in an electric car, he would remark that we are a rich people, because we have many powerful magicians. Some of us might hasten to correct him, telling him that there is no magic used here. But he would not, in fact, be wrong.

@JadeAtrophis Remember, these "people" never actually watch what they claim to enjoy. They watch clips and edits, and read fanfiction. Anything else takes to long

It should go without saying, but *please* never do something like the presented hypothetical. It's disrespectful to everyone, including God, and even yourself.

Since i record Sunday Mass, i get to better appreciate how bogus a mere 1 hour Eucharistic fast is. Today hit the 1 hour mark just before the Consecration. I could have entered the doors as Mass began, eaten something quick, and *still* have "observed" the fast for Communion.

@1mpact38 @adelheidx333 @Sayrux20 Just changing the effect you have applied is free and has been since like anni 4. Now all the removers do is give you the key back. But play long enough (like a year)and you'll have more keys than you really know what to do with, so the removers really are useless

@adelheidx333 @Sayrux20 No its like this You can give extra effects on your cards and with these you can remove them Like lets say I use a cleanse effect on fuxu arts card for a solo but I want it back on my nobu Then I can just remove it and use the effect on my nobu

@bansama @WorldDomStudios Worth mentioning that the Japanese do not call the genre "isekai," but "tensei"(reincarnation). It was a natural fabrication by Western anime fans, truly making the term, when used as the genre, English

"Isekai" wasn't an English word until it was. "Senpai" wasn't an English word until it was. "San" has been known in its simplest form among English speakers longer than you've been alive. 1/2

@Scratch_Point_Z Yes, translation != localization. And no, it is not. Translation is the act of taking a language and translating it into a target language. さん、ちゃん, etc. are Japanese words NOT English words. So, it makes sense these would not appear in a proper English translation.

@JadeAtrophis "monkey ball has been forgotten by AAA so it's new to him." His ignorance does not absolve him of the facts. This is *not* a "brand new game"

@JadeAtrophis SO WHAT? Do you not like monkey ball? "We already have monkey ball" do you not want more monkey ball and monkey ball adjacent things? "He said it was a new genre when it's just monkey ball" MONKEY BALL HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN BY AAA, SO ITS NEW TO HIM

Thanks to all the very kind comments and advice from the Japanese bros I've learned my mistake was using long grain rice. I was at Wal-Mart yesterday so looked for short-grain rice (bigger store, usually has better selection.) ALL OF THIS is long-grain rice. EVERY SINGLE BAG!?

@planefag ポイントをいくつか、まずおにぎりは単独で整形しましょう。長粒米では整形が困難ですから、海苔のシート上に薄く広げてその中に焼いたハンバーグを挟むといいです。味噌は肉を焼いた後のフライパンに適量入れてソースにして使うと良いと思います。
