Hello and welcome to my post. I'm a bay area native and have lived here my whole life. I'm currently working as a bookkeeper and enjoy my job very much. In my free time I like to walk my dogs, play videogames, hang out with friends, and help my family. I also like to collect things as well, I have a huge video game/ t-show/ movie collectible collection. It's a big hobby of mine, and I love to buy, trade, and sell things for my collection.
I decided I wanted to start posting here on reddit because I'm currently looking for a relationship with the right women. I'm very open and straightforward with what I want in a relationship, and I believe communication should be the most important thing when entering a new relationship.
I'm open to any questions you have for me, and would love to get to know you more as well. I'm free most nights of the week. I don’t mind most age differences as long as you're 18 or older and we can get along with one another.
I'm willing to exchange pics in dm’s once we get to know one another.
Thanks for reading my post, if you have any questions and want to talk let me know, I'm open to meeting new people.

I am a 28 year old man who currently lives ib Germany. I moved here from a South Slavic country.
I had a not so pleasant childhood. I grew up in the same house where my dad did, we lived with my grandparents who had my uncle late in their life so he was more like a brother, but what kind... He always stole my toys, used to beat me up, he broke our TV with an ashtray when he was a kid. My mom could not do much because my father was kind of a coward when he needed to face them. I guess it was since they beat him up a lot when he was younger, they were abusers and still he chose to stay there and raise his own kids beside them. My grandma always presented things like they were merry, but it was shit. She first was always jelaous when my mom made anything and took our food without asking, but you could not take theirs. I remember when she died I was kind of glad, even saying you deserve that you fucking bitch for disregarding your own son and being such a bitch to his wife and kids.
I had my own problems, I have dyspraxia, dyscalculia and ADD. I had trouble doing sports, organizing myself and learning something. I was bullied in school because I was quite and physical week, but because I was tall, I was a proving point for smaller, but stronger or tall and strong guys. I just had a nightmare, where I had to face a childhood bully once again and I explode in rage.
I finished high school barely, because I had also trouble there. I was the target and I responded in rage.
When I finished I lived with my folks for some time with no prospect of a job, I worked with my dad in construction for a while, did some free courses in the mean time and managed to land a job as a WordPress administrator. Did it in one agency, got fired after a while, went back to construction with my dad. Found a new job in a small IT firm, I was there a generalist, did WordPress, web design and graphic design. I also got fired because I couldn't do all of that perfectly... Then Corona came.
I went to Germany because I had no other option, a family friend told my dad send him here, there are a lot of jobs. But because everything was closed I found a job in a warehouse. Heavy physical job, but I did it. I worked thete about a year and then I found a job in a slot machine club and transfered because higher paying job and not so physical.
The thing is, I have a lot of health problems too, I have backpain and neckpain. I also don't save enough money. My room is a mess. I am physically and mentally going down from working nights 6 days a week.
I don't see a bright future for me. I can't accept some things like being on pills whole the time with who knows what sife-effects and just trying to cope with a grim reality. I can't be grateful, there are worse things I know, but why should I live if my standard of living is and can't be meet.
I don't care that some people can, I try not to compare. Don't try to suggest logo therapy or Stoicism. I read about both and no logos or Virtue in case of Stoicism is enough to keep me here. I never asked to be born, I don't want to be forced to stay, by society or anything else.
I wanted a simple life, job with a nice wife from some Mediterranean country and a family who I can love and give myself to... It's only a fairy tail...

Hello,
On May 27, 2023 i saw a listing here selling some IG stuff for 50% his name was JoinTheCult_.
I purchased 1 Russ Tank and 3 Ogryns for like 60.00 bucks. He requested i do FNF through paypal, and i figured the amount is small, and the deal is good.. so sure. Days later all the messages in the chat was deleted (on his end) and further his account is deleted now. I don't know if anyone else were hit by this person, if yes I hope it was'nt too bad.
I don't really care about it anymore as it was only 60 bucks and ill consider it as a charity (I hope it helps his family somehow). But I decided to post here just incase he ever comes back. He asked me to PayPal to a Philippine account and the name of the PayPal is Leonida Molano.
Also a reminder to everyone: however good a deal is, always.. always.. always send paypal G&S.

St. Justin Martyr (Dialogue with Trypho, ch. 80-81) says that there will be a first resurrection of the righteous where they dwell in a rebuilt Jerusalem for 1,000 years (keep in mind that Jerusalem had recently been destroyed due to the failure of the Bar Kokhba revolt), based off Isaiah 44 and 65 ("There shall be the new heaven and the new earth, and the former shall not be remembered, or come into their heart; but they shall find joy and gladness in it, which things I create. For, Behold, I make Jerusalem a rejoicing, and My people a joy; and I shall rejoice over Jerusalem, and be glad over My people ... According to the days of the tree of life shall be the days of my people," understanding the days of the tree of life to refer to 1,000 years since Genesis 5-11 shows the years of mankind decreasing further and further away from the number 1,000 corresponding to life in Paradise) as well as Revelation 20:4-6,9 ("And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years ... They [the nations] went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city"). Justin, however, also points out that some Orthodox Christians believe in this and some don't, and it's a matter of opinion alone. He doesn't say what the alternative might be however.
St. Irenaeus of Lyons (Against Heresies 5, ch. 25-36) says that at the end an unlawful and evil king will come, Antichrist, the summary of all demonic apostasy in history, who will take his seat in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem (Matthew 24:15-21, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).
Because the apostasy of Antichrist will recapitulate all apostasy, these events will also be the recapitulation of world history, and happen around the 6,000th year of creation; Genesis 1 must be understood as a prophecy, since one day is as a thousand years for the Lord (Psalm 90:4, 2 Peter 3:8). The first advent was halfway through the 6th day; the coming of Antichrist and the last great tribulation will be at the end of the 6th day as the culmination of everything that happened before. This is signified by the name of Antichrist, 666. 666 also signifies this by how, at the time of the apostasy leading to the flood, Noah was 600 years old (Genesis 7:6), and at the time of the persecution of God's people in Babylon, which itself was a prefiguration of the tribulation to come, King Nebuchadnezzar made an idolatrous status 60 cubits tall and 6 cubits wide (Daniel 3:1). This means Antichrist, and soon after him Christ, will come around the 6th century AD, following the chronology of the Septuagint.
The Roman Empire will begin to fall apart (Matthew 12:25) and be partitioned among ten kings, among whom the eighth will rise above the others, slaying three of the kings, to be the Antichrist and rule for 3.5 years during which he persecutes the Church as the Empire falls further apart (Daniel 2:33,41-43, 7:7-8,23-25, Revelation 17:3-18). It is this Antichrist of whom St. Paul speaks in 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12. He will come suddenly (1 Thessalonians 5:3) and will be a Hebrew from the tribe of Dan (Jeremiah 8:14-17) which is why this tribe is not given the promised inheritance (Revelation 7:4-8).
Because the existence of Antichrist will be permitted so as to recapitulate all apostasy and separate the righteous from the wicked as a great final exercise (Matthew 3:12, 13:24-30), God will confirm the wicked in their delusion (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12). Antichrist is the beast of the sea described in Revelation 13:1-10. His armor-bearer, the false prophet, is the beast of the earth described in Revelation 13:11-17.
He is the unjust judge the Lord speaks of in Luke 18:1-8, and the one who comes in his own name in John 5:43. The widow in Luke 18 is the unbelieving Jewish people, who will go to the Antichrist for help, and in response he will make a rebuilt Jerusalem his capital city and a rebuilt temple his house, during which time he will persecute the true temple which is the Church (Daniel 8:9-14,23-25). This is the last half-week of the prophecy of the 70 weeks (Daniel 9:27).
When the Lord comes to destroy him (Daniel 2:35,44, 7:9-14,21-22,26-27, 8:25), together with all the nations which will have become his servants (Isaiah 6:9-13, 13:6-22, 26:10-11), the saints will be resurrected. It must be so: we imitate our Lord (Luke 6:40) and therefore, just as He died, then rose from the dead, then ascended to the Father, we also must die, then rise from the dead, then ascend to the Father. It is at this first resurrection that the promise of the old covenant will be fulfilled (Genesis 13:14-15, 15:18-21, 27:28-29), it is the restoration promised by the prophets (Isaiah 26:19, 30:23-26, 58:13-14, Jeremiah 23:3-8, Ezekiel 28:25-26, 37:11-28), it is the kingdom and reward Christ speaks of (Matthew 19:29, 26:27, Luke 12:37-38, 14:12-13).
The saints will then rule in a beautified Jerusalem (Isaiah 54:11-12, Baruch 5) for 1,000 years (Isaiah 65:17-25, Revelation 20:4-9), the true Sabbath.
After this, heaven and earth will pass away (Matthew 24:35, 1 Corinthian 7:31, Revelation 20:11) as the remaining dead will rise and all will be judged (Revelation 20:10-15). Then a new heaven and earth will be established (Isaiah 65:17-18) and the Jerusalem from above, which the Jerusalem from below is patterned after (Exodus 25:40), will come down and the saints will live in it for eternity (Galatians 4:26, Revelation 21:1-6).
St. Clement of Alexandria does not indulge in eschatology, but he does indicate the alternate tradition that Justin may have been referring to. While Justin and Irenaeus interpret the Old Testament to not have been entirely fulfilled yet, Clement takes a different approach and sees the Old Testament as entirely fulfilled within the time frame of the New Testament. We see this when he discusses the prophecy of the 70 weeks. Whereas Irenaeus sees the last half-week as referring to the Antichrist, Clement sees it as referring to Vespasian, and sees the abomination of desolation not to be the Antichrist taking his seat in a rebuilt temple in the future, but as something that already took place under Vespasian.
St. Hippolytus of Rome considers that the Antichrist, a Hebrew from the tribe of Dan (Genesis 49:16-18, Deuteronomy 33:22, Jeremiah 8:14-17), will defeat in battle the kings of Egypt, Libya and Ethiopia (Daniel 11:43), in a battle over who should rule over the Empire, while the Ammonites and Moabites become his willful subjects (Isaiah 11:11-14, Daniel 11:41). As a result of his victory he will begin to think himself to be God, and will move on to assault Tyre and Sidon (Isaiah 23:4-5), and it is him whom Isaiah 14:3-21 and Ezekiel 28:1-19 refer to. Then he will try to convince the unbelieving Jews that he is the Messiah by gathering them again from the dispersion and re-establishing the kingdom of Israel, but only because he aims to be recognized and worshipped as God. That Israel according to the flesh will persecute the true Israel, the Church, and will request the Antichrist to do this for them, is what is meant by Deuteronomy 32:34-35, Isaiah 8:6-8, 18:1-2, Jeremiah 4:11-18, Micah 5:5, Luke 18:1-8 and Revelation 12.
The beast of the sea is the Roman Empire itself, while the beast of the earth is both the Antichrist and the false prophet (represented by the two horns). The mark on the hand refers to mandatory sacrifice to the Antichrist as to an idol if one wants to buy food, and the mark on the forehead refers to the false glory he grants upon those who submit themselves to him; the persecution Antiochus IV Epiphanes led against the people of God was a prefiguration of this (2 Maccabees 6:7-11).
The last week of Daniel is the whole rule of Antichrist, but during the first half-week Enoch and Elijah, who were translated into heaven and did not die (Genesis 5:24, 2 Kings 2:11), will return to prophesy, be martyred and be resurrected (Revelation 11:3-12). The second half-week is when Antichrist will take his seat in the temple and severely persecute the Church (Daniel 11:11-12, Matthew 24:15-21, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).
Then Jesus Christ will return and all will be resurrected and judged.
St. Victorinus gave a thorough commentary on Revelation:
6:1-2 (1st seal): Jesus Christ Who conquered by the Gospel and sent the Holy Spirit as an arrow.
6:3-4 (2nd seal): The wars and rumors of war (Matthew 24:6-7).
6:5-6 (3rd seal): The famines (Matthew 24:7).
6:7-8 (4th seal): The pestilences and earthquakes (Matthew 24:7).
6:9-11 (5th seal): The persecution of the faithful (Matthew 24:9-10).
6:10-7:17 (6th seal): The last great tribulation. The blackening of the sun, the fall of the stars, the untimely fall of the figs, the receding of the sky, the removal of the mountains and islands refer to the Christians being deeply troubled or even falling into apostasy because of this great final hardship. The angel from the east who seals 144,000 from the tribes of Israel is Elijah, whose preaching converts many of the unbelieving Jews (Malachi 4:5-6), thereby replenishing the Church. Then the seven archangels destroy the kingdom of Antichrist (Micah 5:5-6, Matthew 13:27-30, Mark 13:27) and all the saints are gathered with Christ forever.
8:1-6 (7th seal): The silence signifies the eternal rest and the narrative might end here, but John starts again from the beginning which is why it ends.
9:13-11:14 (6th trumpet): The four angels at the Euphrates, which also represent the four corners of the earth, are four nations which join the kingdom of Antichrist in due time. The mighty angel is Jesus Christ, His feet of fire are the apostles, the seven thunders He utters are the Holy Spirit, the utterances themselves are the Christian mystagogy of the Old Testament which the Christian prophets are given to interpret now that the apostles have finished their work. John eating the book and being told to prophesy again refers to him committing Revelation to memory and formally publishing it after his labor in exile in Patmos was finished. The temple to be measured is the Orthodox faith, the measuring reed like to a rod is Revelation, the rod proper is the Gospel of John which he is to write later. The courtyard is unnecessary and is therefore not measured but is given over to be trampled by the Gentiles, that is, the heretics Valentinian and such are to be counted outside the Church. The trampling of the holy city for 3 years and a half refers to the rule of Antichrist, and likewise the two prophets will prophesy for 3 years and a half. The two prophets are Elijah who did not die (2 Kings 2:11) and Jeremiah who was to prophesy to the nations (Jeremiah 1:5-10), although some think it is rather Moses. They are the two olive trees of Zechariah 4:11-14, who stand beside the Lord of the earth, that is, either that they are kept in Paradise, or that they will stand before Antichrist. The beast from the pit is Antichrist. The two prophets are killed in Jerusalem, rise after three days and a half and ascend to heaven.
11:15-15:8 (7th trumpet): The heavenly temple, that is, Jesus, is made manifest, and the ark is the gift of the Gospel. The woman with child is Israel, the Church, the people of God. The dragon is Satan who seeks to persecute her and who brought down either 1/3rd of angels or 1/3rd of men with himself, and whose seven heads are the last seven Roman Emperors, as well as the ten horns. The child is Jesus Christ Who became incarnate, conquered, and ascended to heaven. The two wings by which the woman flees the dragon are the two prophets, and this refers to when the Church in Judea, closest to Antichrist's headquarters, will have to flee someplace safe (Matthew 24:15-28). The waters spewed forth by the dragon are the people willing to persecute the Church; the earth swallowing up the woman to protect her refers to the Lord saving the Christians from their tormentors, however it is not known whether this refers to a future event or to what has already happened historically. The battle between Michael and the dragon and the latter's fall from heaven is what triggers the rule of Antichrist; narratively it is before the Church is carried by the two prophets, but it must actually happen after since the prophets ministered in the 3.5 years before Antichrist's tyranny. The beast from the sea is the kingdom of Antichrist. The beast from the earth is the false prophet, who will establish his rule in Jerusalem (Daniel 11:45, Matthew 24:15). The two angels who command the final harvest are the two prophets. Now again, the narrative restarts from a third perspective: that of the unbelievers, upon whom the whole fury of God will fall.
16:17-19:21 (7th bowl): The woman on the beast is an image of Satan. What is called Babylon here and in Isaiah (13-14, 21, 47-48) and Sodom in Ezekiel (16) refers to Rome. The 5 kings who are already fallen are Galba, Otho, Vitellius, Vespasian and Titus. The king who currently is is Domitian. The king who is to come for a short time is Nerva. The 8th king is the one from whom the 7 proceed, that is, Nero in resurrected form, who will rule with 10 kings and will not be recognized but will rather appear to the unbelieving Jews to be the Christ (Daniel 11:29-37). Then Christ will return with His angelic hosts to bring forth judgment.
20 (The millennium): The binding of Satan happens at the first coming of Christ. The 1,000 years are symbolic (Psalm 105:8). The abyss is the hearts of unbelievers. He is sealed so that it is not right now self-evident who is the servant of God and who is the servant of Satan. But at the end of the millennium he is released for a short while, referring to the 3.5 years during which Antichrist will persecute the Church. The first resurrection is the resurrection of faith (Colossians 3:1). The number 1,000 is 10x100: the one who keeps the Decalogue and the perfection of purity is one who reigns with Christ and for whom Satan is bound, but he remains loosed for those who do not do this, and him being loosed anyway after the millennium refers to how many will apostatize due to being tempted by him.
Then the general resurrection occurs, the final judgment, and the heavenly Jerusalem (which is very symbolic) comes down.
St. John Chrysostom shows more fully the tradition that Clement earlier hinted at. The apostles ask when the end comes and when the temple will be destroyed; Matthew 24:4-14 answers the first question by giving a recapitulation of all that Christians will have to endure, and Matthew 24:15-22 answers the second question; the abomination of desolation refers to the armies of Vespasian surrounding Jerusalem. Matthew 24:23-28 is when Jesus warns about Antichrist, not as the abomination of desolation as Irenaeus and Hippolytus interpreted it, but as the false prophet and false Christ. Then of course Matthew 24:29-31 is about the second coming and the last judgment.
In his interpretation of 2 Thessalonians, John gives us more context. The restrainer mentioned by Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 is the Roman Empire, which restrains the Antichrist because it is when the Empire falls apart that Antichrist will use the power vacuum to take his place as ruler. The mystery of lawlessness already at work is Nero, who is a prefiguration of Antichrist. God will permit the appearance of Antichrist so as to confirm the wicked in their wickedness; they will claim to believe in him because of the signs he works, but in truth it will be because of the privileges he grants them and the unlawfulness he permits, as when Christ worked signs He was not believed (John 5:43). When Antichrist appears, he will abolish every idolatrous religion, but so as to be worshipped alone (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). He will sit in the temple of God; which does not refer specifically to the temple in Jerusalem, as in Irenaeus and Hyppolitus, but rather to the Christian Church, so that it is the churches that will be led to worship him as God.
But Elijah will return (Matthew 17:11), being to Christ's second coming what John the Baptist was to His first, then Jesus returns and all are resurrected and judged.
St. Jerome (Commentary on Daniel) says that it should be understood that the events that happened surrounding Antiochus IV Epiphanes are a prefiguration of what will happen surrounding Antichrist (Daniel 8:14).
At a time when the love of many will have grown cold (Luke 18:8), when the Roman Empire collapses, 10 kings will rule over its previous territories. Antichrist will rise from a small nation, which is the Hebrew people, and he will be seen as insignificant at first but will gain power through political intrigue, until he conquers Rome and becomes the first, and last, Jew to rule over the civilized world (Daniel 11:24). He will come from Babylon and first defeat the king of Egypt but will then be frightened by the resistance of Rome against him (Daniel 11:25-30), and will rather defeat the kings of Libya and Ethiopia then conquer Israel, but he will not conquer Edom, Moab and Ammon (Arabia), the deserts where the Christians will flee to (Daniel 11:40-41). He will be received by the Jews as the Christ, and he will put on the pretense of holiness and chastity although he will be a blasphemer (Daniel 11:37-39). As a result of his military victories, the remaining 7 kings will submit to him (Daniel 7:8). For 3.5 years he will rule over the whole world, he will sit in the temple in Jerusalem and claim to be God (Daniel 11:31), and he will persecute the Christians (Daniel 11:33), forbidding the true worship and desecrating the temple in Jerusalem (Daniel 12:11), that the Jews may also be tested, whether they choose Christ or Antichrist. The Christians will resist him for a little but many will die (Daniel 11:34).
However, he will make war against the north and the east and pitch his tent in Apedno near Nicopolis, formerly known as Emmaus, in Judea, then will go to the summit of the Mount of Olives, where the Lord will destroy him (Daniel 11:42-45, Isaiah 25:6-8). Then the resurrection and the final judgment will come, without a millennial kingdom since the saints are evidently not to inherit an earthly kingdom but a spiritual one (Daniel 7:18-19).
Concerning the 70 weeks of Daniel, Jerome suggests various interpretations he considers to be valid, some which make the final week to be about Antichrist and some that don't.
Some believe that the Antichrist has already come in the person of Emperor Nero (Daniel 11:30).
St. Augustine of Hippo (City of God 20) says that the first resurrection (Revelation 20:5-6) is the one referred to in John 5:22-26: it is not the resurrection of the body, but of the soul, as indeed the soul has a kind of death and a kind of resurrection from the dead (Matthew 8:22, 2 Corinthians 5:14-15). It is the resurrection of mercy, as opposed to the second resurrection, the resurrection of judgment (John 5:28-29). There is also the equally Orthodox opinion that the first resurrection is a future one, followed by a thousand-year sabbatical kingdom, as taught by Irenaeus, but it is only Orthodox if one believes that this kingdom is spiritual and not the kind of carnal, passionate kingdom expected by the Chiliasts. But if the first resurrection is the one we already participate in as Christians, then the thousand years can be a manner of speech since the time of the Church is happening during the latter half of the sixth millennium, so that it is called a millennium to recapitulate the actual final thousand years it takes place in (in which case the second resurrection is very soon from his perspective; keep in mind that the beginning of the sixth millennium would be around the year 500 AD and Augustine died in 430), or the millennium is far more symbolic, referring to all of world history (Psalm 105:8). At the end of the millennium Gog and Magog will launch a final great assault against the Church for 3.5 years. This does not refer to any one earthly nation but rather to the unbelieving world, which will oppress the Church wherever it is.
Antichrist will sit in the temple of God, but there are different opinions as to whether this refers to a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem or to the Church. Until then, what is keeping him from appearing is also not universally agreed upon: some believe it is the Roman Empire, and that the mystery of lawlessness already at work is Nero, who either will be resurrected or perhaps has not actually died. Some believe that what is keeping Antichrist from appearing and what is the mystery of lawlessness is the number of wicked men in the Church, who, when they are sufficiently plentiful, will create a favorable environment for Antichrist, and that 1 John 2:18-19 refers to the same thing.
It is the common tradition that Antichrist will come among ten kings ruling the Empire among themselves, but it is dangerous to put too much trust into this, as the ten kings could instead be symbolic of all the kings prior to Antichrist.
Antichrist will persecute the Church for 3.5 years.
Soon before the end comes, Elijah will return and convert the Jews to Christianity (Malachi 4:5-6).
...
What has become the general tradition in Eastern Orthodoxy, such as what is found liturgically or commonly? I'd say:

• The first resurrection is Christ's resurrection, which we share in through baptism.
  
• The millennium refers to the era of the Church.
  
• The Old Testament was completely fulfilled by the end of the 1st century AD. We are not looking forward to a future earthly kingdom (even of a spiritual nature) before the eternal Kingdom of God; the kingdom in question, such as what is prophesied by Ezekiel in the last few chapters, is the Church, and as Christians we already judge and possess all things.
  
• The book of Daniel was mostly fulfilled in 1, 2 and 3 Maccabees. Even things referring to the resurrection of the dead in the Old Testament find their fulfillment in the resurrection of Christ primarily.
  
• The four kingdoms in Daniel are the Babylonians, Medo-Persians, Greeks and Romans; or the Babylonians, Medes, Persians and Greco-Romans as expressed in the Syriac tradition. But in any case the Kingdom of God was established, and the Roman Empire was destroyed, when the rock sewn without hands crushed it, that is, when Christ was born of the Virgin. Through His Church He has conquered Rome since, and in fact nearly all nations by now.
  
• There will be an Antichrist, who will unite the world religions and try to eliminate the Church. It will be a short-lived but intense final tribulation we will go through before the resurrection, final judgment and universal establishment of the Kingdom of God. Enoch and Elijah will return to preach. We do not know when this will happen, nor what form the kingdom of Antichrist will take...
  
• ... and that's okay. We're not very much concerned with what the end times will look like. We have been in the end times since Christ became the firstborn of the dead and sent His Holy Spirit upon us. I'm far more likely to meet Christ when I die, whenever that is, than when Antichrist comes. The apostle Paul gave one key method to be ready for Antichrist anyway: to hold onto the tradition that he transmitted (2 Thessalonians 2:15), which is in 1 Thessalonians 4. Practice Orthodoxy and everything will turn out alright.
  
• The millenarism of some saints like Irenaeus is not accepted, in part because it became a defining feature of some heresies (like the Modalists who believed that at the return of Jesus there would be a millennial kingdom, then the illusion of the person of the Son would vanish and there would remain the only true person of the Father), and in part because, well, time proved it wrong—they expected the return of Christ to happen about 500 years after Christ, yet here we are.
  
• There is no doctrine of the Rapture. This is strictly a recent Protestant innovation. All instances I can find of the saints interpreting the relevant passages (like Luke 17:22:36 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) understand them to be about the righteous going up to welcome the returning Lord when He comes, and nothing else.
  

Some background on my situation: I (24M) live at home in an effort to save money and ultimately my goal was to stay for at least a few more years till I have a sizeable down payment saved. However, lately my parents are putting a lot of emotional pressure on me to agree to an arranged marriage with a woman in India. They are making it seem like they will drop dead if they don't get a perfect Indian daughter in law. Anyway, they've done a lot for me so I don't want to hurt them but the problem is that I'm gay. I know they will not accept me so I plan to move out within the next 2 years without coming out. However, I have rescued 9 animals over the years (1dog, 2cats, 1rabbit, & 5birds) and I don't want to leave them behind under any circumstance.
Here is my financial situation: I'm working as a remote software dev making $70k in Alberta. I have about 25k student loans(15k Alberta portion, 10k Canada portion) left and repayment starts in October. I deferred payments recently using RAP application and I have about 35k saved in my TFSA.
My take-home pay is about $4300 per month after deductions. I have a partner who makes around $2.7k per month after deductions but he doesn't care much about finance or saving and has under $1k in a TFSA with his bank that gives him 0.05% interest. (This is a whole other discussion lol). His job is not remote.
Living in townhomes/condos where the walls are shared is not really feasible since the birds can get quite loud. My current total monthly costs average between $500-600 including groceries, pet supplies, internet, etc. I am thinking of starting therapy but my work insurance only covers $500 per year so not sure if this added cost is worth it.
Is it realistic to be able to move out in the next 1-2yrs? I'm not sure what my options are

This may sound like a wierd question and I'm sure there are all kinds of characters comming out of there but from statistics on gender and social indices coming out of there one can also say that such a state of affairs couldn't have come to be if a majority were consciously fighting conservative backward-ness and anti-intellectualism.
I rely on my information on social media and gvt statistics and this is what I've learnt:
1)Casteism: I found it odd that many cars there have the words "Jatt" or "Gujjar" slapped in big fonts on the back. Caste based decisions from voting to matrimony is rampant. I've also learnt that Brahminism subjugated them as well so this display of caste pride may be an in-your-face to them? Is that true?
2) Extreme Patriarchy: The social mobility of women is very low and it is justified by all sorts excuses from safety to a culture of honor and shame. So basically no one will solve the root causes of the problem and let things get worse by letting bad actors control the streets and expect random citizens to give up their right to free movement. I've seen a lot of women in fact fight with other women who challenge this. Are Haryanvi women socially suicidal? Is their conditioning so strong that they don't realise what they're doing? They're constantly abandoning personal growth to be in service of a culture that deeply hates them. Female foeticide has led to lonely men literally buying brides from poor families without dowry which they think is a huge favor on others, they are literally resorting to human trafficking. In Haryana if you're a man who has a little money and political power you can get away with a lot of crimes against women (Brij Bhushan case)
3)Pockets of prosperity and goon culture: haryana has shown good performance in economic development. Most of that is driven by gurgaon alone. So there is some source of change and liberalisation but how hopeful are you about this? And why? In my short trip there I noticed glorified gang and goon culture. Some not so affluent neighborhoods have women running into their homes after going out to get some groceries or wearing shorts bcz some goon was following them. I'd heard about this but I didn't think it was a big phenomenon which it absolutely is. We see a resurgence of gun culture as well. Why and how has this happened? We can say that haryana has small islands of prosperity and oceans and oceans of social challenges
4)Cultural soft Power: One simply doesn't hear much about Haryanvi food and culture. Even on my short 5day trip there I didn't know where to start and what to try. Not much information is available on the internet either. I'd gone there for a wedding. What are the famous dishes in Haryanavi cuisine? Haryanvi songs have recently become huge hits on YouTube and they are a lot of fun, at least for me. But what are the art forms coming from here that one can look up?

Heya.
Basically I'm hoping to preserve some small feathers.
Seems resin would be good (though if I'm wrong please let me know) but it can go wrong if you don't know what you're doing. I'm also not really willing to send them off, just in case. Hence why I'm looking around Bristol.
I don't need it to be jewelry, whatever is easiest (square?) Would be fine.
Does anybody here know someone in Bristol that could help me?
I'm willing to pay if that helps.
Thank you.

we met irl months ago. flirty. exchanged info, normal progression…
we went out for one drink in the beginning of the week and middle, now a third but this time was for a longer duration. imo we were finally getting to know each other and what we are looking for. it was going very well, having alot of fun. touchy, laughs, 🚩 he is future planning as us together. he also did this at our first hangout. (we barely know each other!)
i’m social with others around as is he. he says brb and leaves me with the babbling town drunk yammering in my ear. i hear out the dude going on about his business and he’s asking me questions about me. i turn around. my “friend” isn’t back yet. ok so i wait and wait. finally went to leave and look for him.
his car is gone. thank god i drove separately.
he wouldn’t take my calls. only text. why’d he leave? he said i was talking to another guy and i seemed interested. (i’m thinking, dude you back down that quick!??) i’m naturally chatty and was buying time till my “friend” got back.
was i flirty and all over this dude? no! i was annoyed. i made it clear to my friend too that i was annoyed.
i believe i dodged a few bullets here. can’t talk it out over the phone? can’t tell me what i did wrong? bye.
this reflection had me realize many more hints of a jealous controlling man.
in a previous life a guy has claimed their territory to get women away from the pestering guys. real men being protective.
i’m very feminine and honestly highly sensitive but managed.
it’s back to not drinking for me. i hate the bar scenes! but yes i bent that way because i don’t know what else to do 1130p after work. maybe sleep from now on.
but he made me the asshole… i’m struck by this. we work together too. i’ll be fine seeing him. cause now i know.
but really now, am i the asshole??

Hey guys! I just picked up a e92 m3, which I am overjoyed about. Only real issue with the car is the rear tires are mismatched. The front and one rear are Michelin Pilot Super Sports, but the other rear is a Falken Azenis FK510. Both are the same size, and I know they are the same "type" as in Ultra Performance Tire.
Is it a big deal that I run it as is? I plan to do some AutoX events and maybe some HPDE as well. Should I run it as is, or buy a newer Pilot Super Sport so all my tires match? Sorry if this is a noob question, new motorsport enthusiast over here.

Long story short I'm from the East coast and I'm here for a few weeks. I'm staying in Lincoln county. While I'm here I've crossed some very pretty places to potentially take photos, so I dropped some pins down on Google maps.
I'm black, fairly tall, and probably come off as intimidating. So as to have decent courtesy, and also not get shot I looked at who ownes the places ive come across using a GIS parcel app.
To my surprise most of the forest land here is NOT owned by the state and instead private citizens. Of the ones I've looked at they tend to be owned by older individuals, age 60+. Some have roads that lead to a residence and a few are farms but the vast majority are inland, gridded 40 acre parcels that are forested and have no obvious function, and I doubt the senior citizens who own them are anywhere around.
Looking at tax records and current plots these plots are anywhere worth $100k - $1M. Real estate listings offer no real use case for them with the exception of hunting. Looking at the hunting industry here the leases are only $1-$2k a year.
My question is why do people purchase these plots or hang on to them. You can claim land appreciation but that gets eaten by taxes (I'm aware of the forest preservation discount) and equity markets bring in better risk adjusted returns. The only use as a invest is if you are rich and use it as a hedge (e.g Bill Gates purchasing of land). To make your money back renting the land for hunting will take a century.
So why, should I, who has a few bucks, buy any plot of land here, are there investment opportunities I'm overlooking or is this land here really only intended to be passed down and used for the occasional family hunting trip.

I just want to say thank you to the people that helped and gave me some good advice here. I was honestly nervous during this appeal and probably seemed emotional. I honestly didn't get good enough sleep and didn't ask very many questions as I should have. I was able to see the decision on CUIAB after only 3 hours so it did not take a week or two weeks. Employer had no witnesses and had no proof for misconduct. It came down to a he said she said. Employer was the one that appealed since EDD already found no misconduct. Hopefully they don't appeal again as I can't afford to pay back that amount of money. Also for those wondering the appeal took 6 months.

PRICE DROPS
Benchmade Custom Shop Mini Crooked River - S90V/Wood + Bronze Ti Thumbstuds SV: 275 250 obro - Original owner, LNIB. Never cut or carried. Got this from the custom shop and added titanium thumbstuds from KnivesPlus. Love this thing but it’s so sexy I never wanted to use it and risk messing it up, which means it has to go. Factory edge, centered, etc.
WE Roxi 3 SV: 175 155 - Second owner, excellent condition. Original owner said it was LNIB and that appears to be true. I haven’t carried or cut with it either. It’s a great piece, just not my thing. Factory edge, centered, etc.
Kansept Shikari - Brown Micarta/Bronze Ti 20CV SV: 185 165 - Original owner, great condition. Carried 4-5 times and cut tape twice. Has a couple snails on the clip and some aesthetic scuffs on the bolster (see pics), but otherwise in great shape. Excellent action both ways on this and carries great even tho is a big boi. Factory edge, centered, etc.
Kansept Model 6 - Bronze Ti S35VN SV: 125 110 - Original owner, LNIB. Never cut or carried. Awesome knife but it just doesn’t jive with me. Has a couple tiny marks on the blade that it came with out of the box, but they only show in direct light (pictured). Factory edge, centered, etc.

FIRST-TIME POSTS
ZT 0452CF SV: 160 - Second owner (bought here), excellent condition. Original owner said it was BNIB and that appears to be true. I've never cut or carried it either. There is a small mark on the blade that looks like a general blemish (pictured). It looks like something that may come off with some elbow grease, but I didn’t want to get after it too hard. I disassembled, cleaned, and lubed it after I got it because it was pretty dry, but other than that it hasn't seen any action. The flipper tab and ergos are among the best I've experienced on any knife. I like this knife a lot, just have too many like it already.
Spyderco Manix 2 S30V SV: 110 - Original owner, excellent condition. Never cut or carried. Bought for a project and changed my mind. Has been disassembled and cleaned because it was a bit gritty when I got it.

Vlad here. First of all - get yourself a factoring company! They take 1%-3% and pay you the next day after you submit POD, but you need them for their database of brokers - that's the real value of the factoring company! And even if the broker goes bankrupt - you still get paid by the factoring company (check recourse vs non-recourse). This is how my factoring company grades brokers - https://imgur.com/a/lEXfy07 .
From the link above you can see there are many brokers/shippers named "Total Quality". How do you know you are working with the ones who are approved and legit? Well, the best way to verify the load is to call the main office of that brokerage and make sure the broker works for them and the load # on the confirmation also matches in their system. You can find a brokerage's info from Safer: https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx .
🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩!!!**RED FLAGS TO LOOK FOR!!!**🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩
- New MC numbers - usually 7-digit starting with 12***** and above. Absolutely do NOT book a load with any MCs starting with 15***** - those are from this year and are WAY too new.
- Accent! Double-brokers often have heavy accent and speak broken English. Now, not everybody with an accent is a double-broker. And many double-brokers are Americans. But it's quite common and you should keep it in mind.
- Suspicious email - it's quite easy to make an email that looks similar to the original one. For example ****@tql.com can become ****@tql.net or ****@tlq.com . Or anything that ends on gmail.com Again, by itself it doesn't mean anything, but keep an eye on the emails.
- Blind shipment - that's very common in cargo theft. Be extra vigilant if the load is high-value. Have the driver check with the shipper who's the carrier assigned to this load. Check the BOL and if there's mismatch between the broker info and the BOL. Again, it doesn't mean anything by itself, legit customers and brokers have blind shipments all the time.
- CA and FL based brokers - those are the two hotspots for double-brokering. To a smaller degree - Canadian brokers as well. There are others too, double-brokering is not exclusive to any single state. Special mention of Glendale CA "brokers" with Armenian names
- Bad phone connection - this one is often combined with heavy accent and/or broken English.
- VOIP phones, google voice numbers and Majic Jack customers - those are easy and cheap way to get a US-based number.
- Dispatching services - many "dispatching services" offer to dispatch you, but their goal is to steal your credentials, info and paperwork, so they can present themselves as you (a legit carrier) and secure loads to double-broker. It's best to avoid those "services" and work with a proper carrier or learn to dispatch yourself properly if you are an owner-operator.
- Quick pay - if a posted load mentions quick pay or COD (check on delivery) - be very careful. The poster probably knows most factoring companies will not approve him/her.
- Landstar "agencies" - usually a person with "American" sounding name answers the phone, but the accent is Russian or Ukrainian. The phone menu says "Thanks for calling the Landstar UFC/MDMA/WWF/BBC/XXL agency".

Hello! Please take a look at these vintage pens I've got for sale. I got bit by the vintage bug but (as someone on this subreddit once said) I'm finding out that I enjoy meeting pens more than I enjoy owning them. Hoping to send these off to new homes and refill the piggy bank so I can continue meeting new pens :).

Albums (w/ videos and writing samples): Parker Duofold, Esterbrook Dollar Pen, Wahl Ring-top

1. Parker Duofold Sr. in Lapis (white on blue) with 14k right oblique semiflex nib - D condition for vintage + new nib, otherwise a solid B. Asking $450 OBO + shipping. A beautiful oversize Duofold in the rare Lapis color (this is the relatively less rare white-on-blue). The nib is a size- and model-appropriate replacement right-oblique 14k "Z" Duofold nib that writes a very juicy medium with a touch of flex to add a little extra flair to your writing. Measures 5.5" / 5.3" / 7" capped/uncapped/posted. Overall, the pen is in excellent condition. I replaced the sac and nib and gave all the hardware a good polishing. There is some darkening of the celluloid with age but it is still very clearly and richly blue. The imprint is deep, crisp, and fully legible. Mild brassing on the top and ball of the clip. Cap-top, blind cap, and section all have kept their rich black color and are free from any visible oxidation. Microscratches as expected for a ~100 year old pen, but no other scratches, cracks, or warping of any kind. A great pen for a collector or someone who just likes big vintage pens. Wasn't sure how to price this since they don't come up very often, but I did find listings on PSP and Antique Digger with fairly higher asking prices.
2. Esterbrook Dollar Pen in Copper with #2788 steel medium semiflex nib - D condition for vintage, otherwise a solid B. Asking $75 $65 $50 OBO + shipping. This is a pretty neat pen - an Esterbrook Dollar Pen in a very pretty copper pattern, with an uncommon #2788 "flex" medium nib. I would call this a semi-flex, at best, but still a wonderfully smooth writer that just glides across the page (please see writing sample for expected degree of line variation). Measures 4.75" / 4.5" / 6.25" capped/uncapped/posted. Overall in excellent condition. The hardware is excellent. The clip is a little wobbly - about 2mm of play. The body has few small scratches and some tooling marks closer to the section (best seen on the photo showing the imprint). I think the beautifully chatoyant copper pattern masks these blemishes well. No cracks or warping of any kind. I gave the pen a polish and a new sac; the J-bar it came with works well and is very springy.
3. Wahl gold-filled ring-top pen with 14k #0 fine semiflex nib - D condition for vintage, otherwise a solid B. Asking $125 OBO + shipping. This was a total 1am impulse buy because it was tiny and cute and I wanted to try restoring a smol boy. The pen itself is tiny and nib is as small as they come - a #0 size 14k Wahl nib with a heart-shaped breather hole that writes a crisp fine with a touch of flex. Check out the video to see it in action. Not a very practical pen, but a very unique one that is just plain fun to hold and play with. Put it next to your largest pens and try not to smile. Measures 3.15" / 2.9" / 4.2" capped/uncapped/posted. Overall in excellent condition, free of dings or dents. Caps and posts securely. All I had to do to get it working was replace the sac. I also rotated the lever to line up with the nib because I enjoy that sort of thing.

Open to offers, especially if buying multiple pens. Usual sub rules apply (Post here first, Paypal G&S, etc.). Will ship USPS priority, CONUS preferred, and combine shipping if buying multiple pens. Please feel free to message me with any questions!

There are a lot of people upset at the moment and some argument over whether or not this game is F2P or P2W. I'd like to keep it open to discussion and opinion, but here's my diatribe on the matter.
Some of the practices that have been shown regarding pool drops, card nerfs, and bundles have been problematic. They aren't overwhelmingly covert about trying to make money from the players willing to pay for things. But, that said, the things are almost entirely cosmetic. And those that aren't, which is basically just getting to a card faster, is not something I would personally consider a P2W system, somewhat in general but especially in this game.
So here goes the hot take while everyone's outwardly upset at the devs at the moment, I really do think that Snap is ultimately a very free to play friendly game.
FWIW, I just got my buddy into the game during this last season and he hit 85 with a Devil Dinosaur and never spent a penny, or will. I was impressed because I came nowhere close to that my first season but that's beside the point lol. This is purely anecdotal but it does reinforce for me how true it is that despite everyone being upset at the prospect of having things be less easy to obtain than they may have anticipated, it is by no means inaccessible, and it is not at all necessary in order to achieve success without being overly arduous.
There is nothing forcing your hand to spend in order to remain competitive. That's part of what P2W is to me. The other part being even less applicable where the whales who spend the absolute most are at the top or every leaderboard, with maxed out units and gear and stuff and things and junk - you'll find no fair equivalent here.
The truth is the game does reward simple consistency. Nothing is barred behind money walls and they also give you the choice of what you want between the seasonal and the token cards for the things that you want most or won't be likely to open.
I've only ever spent a penny on the season bundle and I've hit infinite multiple times. But I wouldn't have needed to in order to do that. I believe that but I won't lie and say I've never spent a thing. But what I can say is that getting there taught me something I had to learn in my journeys to hit infinite, especially the first time. It was never about which specific deck I used. Just consistency. Playing smart with cubes. Playing with experience. And just very simply, maintaining consistency in my climbing.
So while I do think it may be 'pay to have the newest shiniest thing taking over the meta', it really isn't 'pay to win'
It is, in pretty much every way, free to play. And like most free to play games in the modern era, for better or worse, there are things that can be purchased and there are incentives for them; but none of it is needed by a player who's looking to win. It's almost all cosmetics. And the only thing that actually comes close to directly buying power is the season pass to get a single card earlier, meaning within the month that that one said card is released.
There's nothing unavailable to a 100% free to play player. There's no reason, especially for someone who has played a season or two and gotten deep into pool 3, maybe even with a good token choice or two but even that's not necessary, would need to pay in order to win.
They won't have all the neat cosmetic variants people got from bundles. Obviously. And they might not have the meta deck on everyone's lips, but also... they just might. Or be very close to it just looking at what's performing best right now.
The deck at the top of the list last season, and the deck that is still showing top of tier 1 after being updated for High Evolutionary was, and continues to be, Sera Control. Everything in that deck outside of Hit Monkey is Pool 3 or sooner and has plenty of viable alternatives.
The new shiny thing has been High Evolutionary, and now I'm sure we'll see a spike in movement with Ghost Spider and see if it sticks, but neither of those are necessary to be able to play and win. That sounds pedantic. Neither of those are necessary to play and win at a much higher rate than without. That's more to the point. They might not have all the cards for the suggested net deck of everything on said tier list for whatever they're looking at; they might not have as much variety; but patience and smart play may see them win even more than those bouncing around to play what seems to be the best at the time.
You can pay to expedite. Sort of. But unlike most mobile games where that's a thing, getting things faster is not a direct translation to power level. You're not upgrading buildings or levelling up heroes. It's a deck builder, where the vast majority of the cards are obtained freely and at a pretty quick pace. A deck builder with only 12 cards to a deck. Lots of synergies. Lots of strategies. Lots of options. F2Pnewbie27 will be able to find something competitive within their collection pretty quickly if that's their aim.
I get it, the Darkhawk thing is, no pun intended, ruffling some feathers. That's totally fair. Some of what they've done regarding pool drops and nerfs and all that has been very lame. Very discouraging. Some of the bundles are absolutely atrocious with lack of value. There are a lot of things to criticize and be upset by if that's your modus operandi. I don't mean to fight for the game against any of that. The sole point I'm attempting to make, and you can still simultaneously be mad at them about other things, is
as far as any big mobile games go, this game is just about as F2P-friendly as it gets.
