I am visiting Kyoto today and was blown away by how many young people I saw all around Nanzen-Ji temple and then walking in large groups down to Yasaka shrine. I know that it’s normal to see people wearing some traditional clothes and walking around Kyoto, especially in Gion but the huge number of young couples made me wonder if there was a holiday today.

I did it! My first NaNoWriMo and I am so proud of myself! It was not easy and the novel isn’t what I set out to write but I did it!
I thought I’d start out as planner but I’m the process learned that I’m definitely a panther at heart. It was really fun to discover where the story moved as I wrote.
Anyway wanted to just post here as my own way to pat myself on the back.
I’m in my 40s and still struggling with the memories of the home I grew up in. Reading posts here it’s clear to me that a lot of us had the same struggles.
My nparents were also alcoholics and physically abusive. In the last 5 years I’ve finally started learning to set better boundaries and respect myself enough to stop living under their spectre. I moved to the opposite side of the country 20 years ago which was the only way I knew how to really escape their controlling influence.
Recently I’ve been making contact with old friends per-college friends. Every one of them have such fond memories of my parents. To each of them they were these fun and kind people that I just can’t see. It make
My experience with the game so far
I've put about 30 hours into the game at this point. I have yet to "lose", instead resigning and restarting as Dublinn-1066 repeatedly to try and understand concepts better as I run into them. I own all the non-cosmetic expansions. I decided to post this because even with all the great things I've found on this subreddit and the ck2 wiki I wanted to talk very specifically about the game I'm current playing so I could hopefully lockdown and understand this part of the game mechanics more clearly.
Current situation
I'd finally managed to reunite all of Ireland under a Primogeniture succession law with 1000s of gold in my coffers. With
I finally have a solid, smoothly running (ok, sorta smoothly. I might have a haunting and a few flood related deaths) fortress and got a weaponsmith withdraw from society. He popped up with this! I've never gotten into the military yet...looks like I have to now! I didn't know platinum could be turned into a weapon. I'm sitting on a lot of platinum right now...
I've been playing DF for a few months now and I'm doing fairly well with my latest fortress, but, I am always thrown off guard by moods that strike and I seem incapable of supplying what is needed. Does anyone have any tips on prepping for moods with having different materials around your fortress? I'm about to lose my 4th dwarf to insanity if I can't figure out how to quickly get my hands on leather, bones and metal bars.
I've recently gotten into a reasonable discussion with a very religious friend about the questions science can answer vs the questions religion can answer. I'm taking a staunch atheist perspective by stating that the scientific method is the best way for us to understand our reality. He claimed I am being dogmatic about the scientific method by not considering other forms of knowledge, that my belief in the evils of religion has constricted my worldview.
Long-time lurker, first time poster in r/atheism but I'd like to know what some of you think about this?
The world Dogma fills me with a sense of dread but I also feel inclined to say that being dogmatic about how I gather and test data
The current plan right now is
- Arrive in Frankfurt on Sept 11th
- Stay in Frankfurt the 12th
- Day trip up the Rhine on the 13th
- Drive from Frankfurt to Zurich, through the Black Forest on the 14th.
- Stay in Zurich 15-16th
- Drive to Munich on the 17th
- Munich 18-19th for Oktoberfest
- Drive back to Frankfurt on the Romantic Road in Bavaria on the 20th
- Fly home on the 21st.
Questions
- Should we plan for more time in Munich?
- Is there something in this general area of Germany that we should make the time to see?
- When it comes to Oktoberfest, what do I generally need to know? (Beer tents, things I'll miss by leaving early, etc)
Thanks in advance.
