  1. Have you ask for help from God? In case you are atheist, it's still okay to try. As long as you are respectful and clear-intentioned.
  2. Chapter One of the TTC

    Yes, quail groping is not endorsed by the QG. I happily pronounce quale to rhyme with kuàilè 快樂
  3. Chapter One of the TTC

    Bah, there’s already a hundred “illuminated translations” out there. Going forward I am happy to represent the quale grokker community.
  4. Chapter One of the TTC

    I like the word grok for its similarly to guān
  5. Lady Xing and Master Ming

    Exactly! White & Black Wizards from Final Fantasy Floating Flute Gnu from GNU.org
  6. Lady Xing and Master Ming

    The character for Xìng 性 Life is made up of the radical for xīn 心 heart, and shēng 生 birth (depicted by a plant sprouting from the earth.) For Mìng 命 Destiny the two kǒu 口 mouths are proclaiming lìng 令 decrees (depiction of placing a seal onto a document.) Zhongwen.com - Chinese Characters Etymologies
  7. What do you think about Neidan(內丹)?

    YJJ is perfect for foundation. Daniel Kim’s ShinNa appears to fundamentalize it in such things as “shaking up and down while fluffing out your feathers,” and “dog shaking water out of its fur.”
  8. Issues with the search function

    Google yields even more reliable results if you put site:thedaobums.com in your query. It's a great tip to know as of course works with any other domain name. On a similar note, i noticed when viewing a user's content history (either via the newspaper icon on profile, or the 🔍Find Content popup) it only goes back a few months. To get the full list you just have to click Posts on left side of the window, or from the Content Type drop-down if using a small window.
  9. Considering Private Neidan Subforum

    Scrutinizing from the top-left (ignoring getting yeeted by slang) i got "tv hi ki" (classical for "turn on the television, say hi to qi.") which does in fact remind me of a Christmas long past, when sat for countless hours in front of that glowing phosphor portal, painstakingly reassembling the Triforce of Wisdom. After that I got the bigger picture and received some hooker dinosaur love. That said, it goes without saying there must always be some wiggle room in what constitutes thread derailment or downright goofing. Having a clear declaration of where it should be avoided is a good idea. And I agree it would be nice to be able to represent specific lineages in a respectable and precise manner.
  10. Haiku Unchained

    Once upon a time, Zena the Poet was asked to describe what it feels like to ride a bike. After a moment of reflection, she recited: Balancing on my butt-bone I press my toes onto the pedals As the wind rushes through my hair A thousand years later, Albert the Learned was seen sitting on a block of wood while smushing flower petals under his feet, with a fan pointed at his head. When asked what he was doing, he replied "I am riding a bye cycle! You probably wouldn't understand it."
