<2022-11-14T16:47:07.000Z> Nou: Hey, so I was mostly shitposting, but looking back over it, she does look pretty interesting.
<2022-11-14T16:48:15.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: She's definitely one of a kind. Biggest downside is aforementioned autism, she doesn't do shades of grey or compromise when it comes to things she thinks are important. Other than that she's a catch.
<2022-11-14T16:49:38.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: Mind if I ask what age you are? Ballpark.
<2022-11-14T16:51:48.000Z> Nou: Lol. Autism is a bit of a selling point, tbh.
<2022-11-14T16:52:03.000Z> Nou: And yeah, early 30's.
<2022-11-14T16:53:28.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: Arighty then. I'll shoot her your profile next time she's on. She's not predictable so it could be a few weeks.What are your religious views in case she asks?
<2022-11-14T16:57:54.000Z> Nou: Very staunch Catholic. Undecided on the sedevacantist position, but open to the idea. I was actually raised one foot in the Byzantine Rite because my dad's parents left the Latin Rite in protest over V2.
<2022-11-14T16:59:57.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: Sounds perfect
<2022-11-14T17:00:06.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: What is byzantine rite? Eastern orthodox?
<2022-11-14T17:01:45.000Z> Nou: No,it's Catholicism. Sorry, not to get too spergy about this.
<2022-11-14T17:03:02.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: I looked it up, sounds amazing
<2022-11-14T17:03:21.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: Anyhow, I'll pass your deets on. Thanks for using the eiregoat matching service.
<2022-11-14T17:03:50.000Z> Nou: So you know Catholics and Orthodox split in the 1000's. Before that it was one Church with a bunch of different ways of practicing. Well, after that split, several of the Orthodox Churches re-established communion with Rome. Mostly following the changes of the council of Florence.
<2022-11-14T17:04:15.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: Really? I did not know that.
<2022-11-14T17:05:15.000Z> Nou: So, kind of like Eastern Orthos in terms of practices. But we bent the knee on any theological differences and recognize the Pope as head of the Church.
<2022-11-14T17:06:05.000Z> Nou: And that's on my dad's side. They were Latin Rite until the 60's, and my mom's side are Latin Rite who just kind of ignored V2.
<2022-11-14T17:06:34.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: Ah ok, so they only go to old latin masses and such?
<2022-11-14T17:10:40.000Z> Nou: Yeah. Exactly. As well as ignoring some of the more... questionable changes V2 made. My grandma won't attend wedding services at Protestant churches for example.
<2022-11-14T17:11:50.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: Wow that's strict.
<2022-11-14T17:13:41.000Z> Nou: Lol. Yeah, for sure.
<2022-11-14T17:15:21.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: Damn that's strict
<2022-11-14T17:17:13.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: I used to be catholic, but went through a teenagery atheist phase, then when I was thinking about coming back the RCC looked like such a dumpster fire I quickly dropped the idea. Flirted with EOCC for a while but ultimately ended up somewhere completely different.My grandparents were fairly connected in the Irish RCC, they hung out with John Charles McQuaid, but in the end my grandmother had a humanist funeral so her proddy friends could attend.
<2022-11-14T17:28:06.000Z> Nou: Yeah. I would think there'd be a lot of that over there. We've certainly had out religious sectarianism in the US, but nothing like having to worry you couldn't attend a friend's funeral.
<2022-11-14T17:29:30.000Z> Nou: And I'm sorry to hear you never made it back. But I hope whatever you found is working for you.
<2022-11-14T17:30:36.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: It is so far. Ultimately the goal of all religions worth pursuing is the same: To know god.
<2022-11-14T17:34:32.000Z> Nou: Well, I'll hold out hope for you and everyone else. But in the meantime, not a bad compromise.
<2022-11-14T17:35:12.000Z> Nou: Certainly better than some of the ostensible Catholics who try and use Scripture to justify their sodomism.
<2022-11-14T17:36:30.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: Yeah, the guys I follow don't tolerate that kind of thing. Even jacking off is frowned upon.
<2022-11-14T17:52:29.000Z> Nou: Yeah, which is honestly a nice trend to see having entered into the Gestalt. Even beyond the spiritual concerns, it's upsetting to see how society has just become something where that's accepted as the norm.
<2022-11-14T17:54:34.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: Right. I grew up thinking it was. I had no idea why "wanker" was an insult. In hindsight it's basically a drug habit.
<2022-11-14T18:11:45.000Z> Nou: As far as I can tell it's very much the real world Soma. Eat the McDonalds, pleasure yourself. No need to learn to cook or find a wife. Don't strive for anything. Just sit back and consume.
<2022-11-14T18:34:54.000Z> Eiregoat@eveningzoo.club: Right. Pure samsara.
<2022-11-14T19:16:00.000Z> Nou: Hmm... wasn't familiar with that word. Might have to start using it.
