LOL I also remember seeing my raising thread in Aes Sedai when I got access. Good times.
I can't recall when we switched over from having a thread in Aes Sedai pinned to having the Hall do it. I think 2005 or so? Late 2004?
Morri is not Aes Sedai. She is a Gaidin of MDD (Mahdi'in d'ma dieb), which is one of the gaidin companies. She is, however, bonded to an Aes Sedai more terrible and glorious than imagination can summon.
MDD is also the company of Raam, who was bonded here to Alex.
Yes. First guess best guess. That is exactly what it means. I would have said "hole in one" in praise, but with the Train, that's not quite accurate.
One should not speak of sacred things among the unanointed.
England and the USA are similar in this; I grew up in the States and I know many who grew up Jewish in England and experienced exactly what I did.
When I say that your statement is privileged it's a simple fact: you have a perspective based on your upbringing as one of the majority, rather than...
This is a really privileged perspective to have. It says 'my happiness of wishing you a happy whatever is more important than respecting the fact it may not be happy at all for you'.
And I heard it alllll the time growing up. Especially the part about being labeled rude for having zero interest...
This was discussed a tiny bit in Brown Discord, so I'll tell you basically what I said there:
You don't have to tell everyone Happy Holidays. Or Merry Christmas. If you don't know they celebrate something, you don't have to say anything at all. There's zero obligation. Your wishing them a...
I get how many use 'happy holidays' in good faith and a wish to be inclusive; I thought it may be useful to share how it comes across to me (and obviously, I can only say what it's like for me). It always seemed like Christmas celebrators were cobbling together every excuse in the book to get me...
Hi all! I'm here to post a summary about Judaism. First though, I want to address one thing that may give you insight on actual coexistence, from the perspective of a minority group member:
So I totally respect all that was said above at a general level (okay, okay, truth? I don't actually...
A Petition, Continued:
Why do I want to bond Melearlin? We've been friends a long time; is it uncouth or boastful to say 'verging on two decades'? Seventeen or eighteen years of friendship, I think. It all blends together after one amasses a certain deficit of f***s to give regarding time...
For what it's worth, I have fourteen gold merits and zero are based on events. And you can earn some multiple times. For instance, I have three staff gold merits, representing a total of fifteen years volunteering as staff. And I have three Senior Membership gold merits, two of which count...
Currently 19 people have the relevant 13+ gold merits.
I agree that something besides an extra bond would be great to look into. For myself, since I rarely go to real-live events and such, I'd be much more likely to make use of the second extra bond than anything else. And it's super easy to...
