Welp, turning in my school chromebook today. I won't be on the shard until I get a new computer, so probably a good 2+ years. I will maybe see you all then.
See ya

I feel like sect is the closest word, but it's certainly not perfect -

I wouldn't say it's necessarily hard, just risky. Preservation didn't seem to struggle with making humans, it's just that Leras had to give up a significant portion of power in order to make them sentient. When Odium and Autonomy and others are out there, giving up enough of yourself to make you noticeably weaker than other shards isn't a great idea. -
huh. it's been so long since I've been pinged here.

lowkey, I don't recall why I asked that. I feel like the first scenario is significantly more likely. The odds of him being able to tell the difference seems more likely to me than the odds of him forgetting to say that the angel declared he was a messenger of God, but remembering that the angel said that he was God. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time for this, cause it's end of year for me, so I probably won't be on much -

that was toward the end of John 8, I believe -

can I ask why you specified that he identifies himself as Yahweh? I will also note that it seems to me that beings that are not the Father bear the name Yahweh, for example, in Genesis 31:11-13, the angel of God refers to himself as the God of Bethel, which was where Jacob swore an oath to Yahweh in Genesis 28:13-20 -
it definitely does take a few days, but I don't recall if it requires a host. I was saying that if it does, you could wipe out the singers and they wouldn't be able to return. it's impractical, but probably possible

note that it seems to me that they are technically not unkillable, unless the process is different in the everstorm vs normal desolations. In the everstorm, they needed a host to return. If all the hosts were dead they couldn't come back. I can't recall if that's different in the normal desolations

How many gemstones do they have to store light? More than enough to last between highstorms without extraneous use? Presumably they have to use some to feed their soldiers with Soulcasting.
-
how much light do they have? if they don't have any, pure numbers will do, especially when combined with fused and the fact that forms like direforms are so much stronger than normal soldiers.

remember, on your mission, you'll be out of your comfort zone a LOT. fortunately, we have a Comforter that is always with us. get in the habit of praying to have the Spirit with you, and for other blessings you need. Read your scriptures, and read the preach my gospel manual, it's helped me a lot in preparing for my mission. I also recommend memorizing the articles of faith, but I also just like to have things memorized. Where are you going?

finished my STAMP test for ASL. i'll learn in about a week if I'm officially biliterate. I got advanced low on the receptive portion (which I was shocked by, I would've placed myself at intermediate mid-high, leaning to high), and missed advanced mid by 2 points (my score was 576, advanced mid is 578-605), so I don't have to score too well on my expressive. I'm tentatively expecting to score at least intermediate mid on that one (though I wouldn't be surprised at an intermediate low level), and I'm hoping for intermediate high. Advanced low would be amazing, but I am definitely not that good. I need to score at least novice-high (which shouldn't be hard, that's about how good I was two years ago and I'm much better now) in order to receive my seal of biliteracy.
for any interested, this is about what someone who scored an advanced on receptive should be able to do, and this is about what someone who scored an intermediate high on expressive should be able to do. scroll up for int-mid and down for adv-low.

I should have listened to the wisdom of the ancients. after you stop playing the bass, you ease your way back into playing it, don't jump straight into a fiddle tune. I got a huge freaking blister on my pizzicato finger (and a smaller one to keep it company).
