I just, donβt entirely understand why some people dedicate any amount of brain power into this. Doesnβt seem worth the time.
A lot of cultural/social/demographic changes are happening in the West, but what do you as Central Asians make of it all?
Any reason why an evangelical or traditionalist should remain in the Episcopal Church and not leave and go to the ACNA or other group?
There are many traditionalist/extremists that hate Yasir Qadhi and Omar Sulieman even though they do a better job at giving dawah with a huge fan base.
People like Daniel Haqiqatjou and other Salafis constantly slander these two individuals. My question is why the strong hate towards them?
I'm just curious. What choices do you think a Harrowmont-level traditionalist dwarf would make in DAO?
I am looking to impose myself a new challenge and after obtaining an imperial victory, another for the Shogunate and a third as a Republic, I am thinking about how it would be to obtain a victory playing with the technological limitation of the Shogun 2 vanilla. For now, one of the conditions that occurred to me is to prevent the clan development level from exceeding level one, which would limit the player to research only the first tier of technologies. Then, try to balance the construction of cities with buildings that eliminate the modernization of the same, such as provinces with Buddhist temples, dojos and inns. And of course, the most important part, the army is prohibited from using any "modern" unit, that is, any units produced in the barracks or the artillery range. The main disadvantage that I found to this is the fact that it does not have any decent navy, leaving the coasts of the provinces exposed to bombardment and trade routes to constant assaults. Dealing with this is one of the biggest challenges, because even a traditional army can defeat a modern one as long as it does not attack it head-on and you can choose the terrain to fight, such as mountains and forests, and make the most of ambushes.
What do you think? How would you build your provinces to maximize your income from them but keeping modernization to a minimum and what kind of armies would you create?
At this group home I'm staying at, it feels like Im starting to live my life in constant humiliation of who I am as an individual.
Nearly every single action I do is scrutinized unless I bow down to what people say and stay absolutely silent about it. I can't seem to make myself at home without one of the staff going on about how I need to "grow up". Sometimes they'll even make me check my pockets for fidgets and other things that aren't anybody else's business.
About the only compliment I ever receive in real life is about how I'm so talented. In reality they probably think I'm absolutely wack as hell for wasting all my time sketching kids cartoon characters instead of "normal" things like painting realistic portraits of people's pets or drawing mandelas with just a pen and a marker.
For the last time, I know I have to get rid of the "dolls" and what not. I know stuffed animals are filthy ass "disease vectors" meant for toddlers. I know cartoons are for kids under the age of 12.
Other people are allowed to obsess over budgeting for collectible Godzilla figurines and go on about how their favorite teams lost the playoffs. But as soon as the "high-functioning" 20 year old is into stuffed animals, it's all over. I get it already.
I shouldn't have to change my what my interests are in order to make staff tolerant. It should be an open choice to engage in what makes me feel good as long as I express my desires in a healthy manner.
I've gotten comments from other residents saying I need to stop trying to please everyone, but the moment I calm down for 5 seconds I get into trouble for somehow acting out of line. I tell the staff that these things make me hate myself and they either laugh their ass off like its the funniest joke in the world or lose their shit on me and go on about how I'm just a spoiled little brat.
Every other resident here gets to do the things I always get called out for and I've fucking had it. Everyone else gets to have massive amounts of calendars, photos, etc. lining the edge-to-edge of their walls and have all kinds of ceramic angels and photo frames overflowing the tops of their dressers.
But as soon as I actively want to go through my stuff like a responsible adult, I'm relentlessly chastised for being some sort of whiny manchild. That I have to just "get over it" and take all of them back to my parent's house for good.
The people here have repressed me to the point where I've become so unhinged on other su

Inspired by the spag bol post yesterday. I use soy sauce or fish sauce in place of salt in a lot of sauces.
Karl Marx is the father of modern social science, but he didnβt do much to provide for his wife and children. The CCP adulates him but censors women who complain about sexual harassment. This doesn't make sense to me. One ought to have one of two approaches to life (and I am talking below about American standards):
- the left-wing approach (by which men like Marx and women like Mary Ann Evans are great minds, regardless of them being ultimately unattractive because of menβs preference for beauty and womenβs hypergamy)
- the traditionalist approach (by which idealistic policies have unforeseen consequences, and women like Evans and men like Marx are insufficiently maternal and poor money-makers, respectively).
Donβt you think that a government that gives men a pass to be leftist personalities should tolerate the same thing in women?
I mean, perhaps one could argue that I'm making a false analogue above as Evans was not a genuine feminist (just an advocate of women's equal access to education)...and that advocates of western feminism are actually more like the capitalist men (well within their own gender) rather than like Karl Marx...but that's for another discussion...
Who was the fox who saved us in dawn?
Talos is a lying pawn
Who was the hawk who birthed us in frost?
Kynareth has betrayed our trust
Who was the bear who guards the great bridge?
Zenithar is but a merchant prince
Who was the whale who taught us to capture?
Stendarr is weak and fractured
Who was the owl who practised wisdom?
Julianos teaches elven systems
Who was the snake that shortened our lives?
Arkay in shown in a wonderful light
The wolf and moth show love and beauty
Their southern imposters hide their duty
The dragon, weβll meet at the end of time
Akatosh is chief of their divines
Ulfric claims to honour our past
Yet still he licks the empireβs ass
Elenwen says Talos needs death
It pains my heart to agree with an elf
Our greyskin neighbours reclaimed their old gods
And yet our totems are covered in moss
All children of Skyrim let us all prey
That we lose the empireβs clutches this day
For those who know, how does the remaster of 2010 reissue of New Traditionalists compare to the 1997 one?
Just curious for buying options. If they're really similar than the more bonus tracks on the 2010 remaster are always a plus
I'd imagine that they wouldn't oppress them because of their pacifism and history of tolerating refugees, unlike humanity in so many Transformers continuities alone, but how they'd interact with them would be interesting.
-Would they generally allow them to be used as farm equipment? Many do allow for some tech use for business purposes.
-Would they be willing to ride in self-driving cars for distances that are out of easy horse-and-buggy or bicycle range?
-Would they embrace robotics for disaster relief purposes, for instance fire prevention? Could robot-enhanced rescue services make it easier for them to get around fire safety codes?
-Could outsourcing defense and public safety to robots allow for a full-fledged Amish or Mennonite nation-state to emerge?
Hi There!
I am planning to unite with likeminded brits, and traditionalists, And I'd like for this community full of based people to be apart of that.
r/nationalbritannia is the subreddit I made, I'm going to be offering to similar subreddits so we can gain more members.
As a token of goodwill, I've put this subreddit under my subreddits "recommended subreddits", as fellow friends.
Thanks for listening, and have a good one.
Happy New Year!

I would say that the best way for progressive scholars, particularly someone like Mufti Abu Layth should teach and to make a new generation of scholars. Not to bestow a title but rather to provide knowledge and understanding of the religion from a different angle. If someone takes on let's say 20 students in their life, those twenty can take on their own students and slowly start to make real change. It's entirely up to the people who are progressive to teach or not, they have no obligation but it is a good way to get information out there and to make real change. Simply putting out YouTube videos is generally not enough to make change on a large scale, teaching even if it's online, writing books, setting up institutions, and so on is how you disseminate information among a large group of people.
If the traditionalists have their own scholars, the best way to combat the prevailing narrative would be to have your own scholars, if they have books, you should have books. While "progressive" is extremely broad and there are differences among people who are scholars, taking on students, especially if you're trained in Hadith studies and if you're a Mufti is not a bad way to actually spread the truth.
Most people in general are not going to mess about with looking at different books, researching and so on, many traditionalists do not even do this. They generally have a scholar or local Imam who they ask and the Imam is obviously a traditionalist, in order to combat this, surely the best way would be to have people who are able to defend their positions and ideas rather than being a small group of people who see Islam as a personal connection to God rather than an intellectual movement which ought to be defended.
TLDR: How would a short lived race remain traditionalist and want to return to βthe good old daysβ despite the living members of the race having no memory of said βgood old daysβ
For one of my DnD campaigns thereβs a major race of Orcs that in the past 100 or so years has been undergoing some major cultural shifts. After their defeat at the hands of a coalition of human kingdoms many tribes are starting to give up their previous warlike ways, admittedly a stereotype as even before this many tribes were exclusively warlike, and settling into moreβ¦ modest? lives. The problem is I still want to have traditionalist Orcs who want to go back to the days of Orcish domination of the continent but Iβm also leaning towards Orcs having a super short lifespan, in part to justify why they so aggressively expand and such. How would a race that letβs say lives about 25 years remain traditionalist and stuck in past ways for over 100 years despite none of the current members of their race being alive at the time?
