Părintele Serafim Rose: Teoria reîncarnării îi înşeală pe oameni cu privire la adevărata natură a vieţii de după moarte Viaţa omenească este o perioadă unică și concretă de încercare, după care nu mai există „a doua şansă”, ci numai judecata lui Dumnezeu dreaptă dar şi milostivă. 👉 https://c.aparatorul.md/gygf8 👈 #ADouaÎnviere #Apus #crestinism #Iad #JudecataDeApoi #JudecataParticulară #Karma #PărinteleSerafimRose #Rai #Reîncarnare #TeoriaReîncarnării #ViaţaAnter...

Patimile cu care a trăit aici sufletul, îl vor arde și îl vor roade ca focul și îl vor sfâșia cu necontenite în chinurile din iad Când sufletul va ieși din trup, va rămâne singur cu patimile sale, și ca atare va fi pururea chinuit de ele 👉 https://c.aparatorul.md/svldl 👈 #AvvaDorothei #foculveșnic #Iad #patimi #Patimile #Rai #scrâșnireadinților #SfântulTeofanZăvorâtul #Sufletul #torturile #Viermeleneadormit

Sfântul Teofan Zăvorâtul: Înțeleptul merge pe cărarea vieții, care duce în sus Nu te făli, rațiune, cu puterea ta de înțelegere, dacă nu-ți aduci aminte de aceste lucruri și nu ne îmbii cu cugetări ale vieții, despre cum am putea, fugind de iad, să ne mântuim 👉 https://c.aparatorul.md/t4tn9 👈 #Înţelept #carareavietii #Cugetare #Cuvânt #CuvinteDuhovniceşti #Fapte #Iad #lumesc #mântuire #mana #mandrie #noroc #Putere #Raţiune #SfântulTeofanZăvorâtul #TâlcuiridinSfân...

Dacă un episcop este eretic, trebuie înfruntat. Cã nu episcop înfrunţi, ci eretic înfrunţi Dacã este eretic, îl judeci.

Iadul este atunci cînd noi nu putem să vedem fața celui de lîngă noi.

The #asexual spectrum (#aspec) is very diverse, and that’s great! Everyone in it experiences it differently. Some ppl (like me) do not want sex EVER. Some may tolerate or even like it, but just rarely so.
But there is ONE thing that EVERYONE in the asexual spectrum has in common: We all "violate" some arbitrary sex norm in one way or another, simply by being ourselves. No matter if asexual, graysexual, demisexual, fraysexual, …
It’s the NORMS that are false, not aspec people!

I’m out and proud as #asexual for several years, and it has been working out for me *perfectly*. 🙂
It’s the *only* sexual-orientation word that makes sense for me. It’s really that simple.I’m neither straight, gay, nor bisexual. I’m asexual.
And I am immensely thankful to the asexual community for being so awesome (it really matters!). 👍

🎉 It’s the International #Asexuality Day!
Why? Because it's okay to be #asexual. It’s okay to not like #sex. It’s okay to not feel sexual attraction. It’s okay to not have sex, like, ever. Or only rarely.
Society expects that every adult experiences sexual attraction and wants sex in general. But this is #BULLSHIT. 💩 Millions of asexuals disagree.
The concept of asexuality is important to be known, because our existence is a FACT.
Spread the word! 🖐️

Der Internationale Tag der Asexualität findet jährlich am 6. April statt.
Asexualität bezeichnet eine sexuelle Orientierung, bei der Menschen wenig bis keine sexuelle Anziehung gegenüber anderen verspüren und/oder haben.
Asexuelle Menschen können sich romantisch zu verschiedenen Geschlechtern hingezogen fühlen.
Das "A" im Akronym LGBTQIA+ steht nicht nur für agender, sondern auch für #autigender, asexuelle und aromantische Menschen. -

In a momentary departure from the silliness I just want to take a moment to say a sincere happy #InternationalAsexualityDay to all my Ace, Demi, Gray-Ace and Aromantic identifying friends.
The four themes of #IAD are Advocacy, Celebration, Education and Solidarity, and I would like to show my solidarity today and shout out my support for visibility. :ace_heart:

Hmm, not sure who has what problem, but this aircraft diverted back to IAD after rolling out to the runway. Looks like they're back at the private jet terminal #IAD

Thankful for uneventful Thanksgiving travel
Another year of Thanksgiving travel is in the books, and this year’s edition of it somehow happened without any flight cancellations, interruptions or even delays. That feels like even more of a miracle than the phrase “no delays” might suggest, because 2025 has been such a snakebit year for air travel.
It started with the horrifying news of an almost 16-year streak of zero fatal crashes among U.S. airlines ending a few miles from my house, went on to feature months of meltdown-level disruptions among flights in and out of Newark that by summer had sent EWR to the bottom of my list of United hub airports, and then it left already-stressed air-traffic control employees working for more than a month without pay courtesy of the government shutdown.
But after all that, Wednesday’s JetBlue flight from National Airport to Boston arrived at the gate at BOS six minutes early, after which Saturday’s United nonstop from Boston to Dulles reached its gate exactly on time. Service was great on each flight, the WiFi worked fine, and even the planes were above average: a four-year-old Airbus A220 on the flight up, a renewed Boeing 737 with screens at every seat on the way home.
The experience feels even more like winning a lottery ticket considering some of the miserable Thanksgiving travel experiences I’ve had in the past. I’m thinking about when coming home for the holiday meant a long drive interrupted by Breezewood, Penn.; the subsequent years when a theoretically short drive to a suburb of Philadelphia could become a three-hour slog; most of all, the decade and change when the Thanksgiving journey either involved taking Amtrak and then two NJ Transit trains or spending four-plus hours on I-95 and the Jersey Turnpike that could easily stretch past six hours on the roads.
(It’s kind of crazy that I have hosted Thanksgiving dinner in my own abode only twice since leaving for college: Everybody visited us in 2019 for a change, and then the pandemic put a family reunion out of the question the next year.)
Now that my mother and my brother and his family all live in the same town just north of Boston, I just have to deal with spending money, not time. But as expensive as Thanksgiving flights can be, they beat the absurdity of driving 450 miles and change on the busiest travel weekend of the year. Bonus: The flights, even if I chance a connection, are so short that I can bring a container of frozen pumpkin puree in my carry-on luggage and not worry about that pie ingredient melting before I’ve reached family.
I’m thankful for having this part of holiday travel easier than it used to be. And I’m thankful, as ever, for everybody connected with the travel industry who worked this holiday so that the rest of us could travel for it.

Ten years ago today, the car-clogged, concrete sprawl of Tysons Corner became less distant from my walkable, leafy corner of Arlington when Metro finally opened the first phase of its Silver Line extension.
July 26, 2014 was a day long awaited. It had taken years of political maneuvering to get this project past obstruction and outright opposition from windshield-perspective politicians in Washington, Richmond and even Northern Virginia, followed by years of seeing the mostly-elevated segment inch through Tysons and beyond as construction delays pushed its planned opening from 2013 into 2014.
After all of that, boarding the first revenue-service westbound train on that Saturday–still one of the nerdier things I’ve done, which I realize is saying a lot–and then enjoying the view gliding above traffic felt like an epic win.
Knowing that I could take the train to the occasional work or social event in Tysons instead of taking my chances with traffic on I-66 and routes 7 or 123 represented an immediate upgrade to my NoVa logistics.
It took me a little longer to realize how having Metro get within seven miles of Dulles Airport would ease getting to and from IAD. And then I had to wait another eight years, vastly more than I would have imagined before the pandemic and even on our way out of it, to see the Silver Line reach Dulles itself.
I enjoyed that one-seat transit ride to Dulles yet again Thursday morning, which also gave me time to contemplate how that view from above Tysons has changed and how it hasn’t. While the McLean stop has undergone a remarkable level of urbanization that now features the tallest building in Northern Virginia, the Tysons station has seen less of a transformation–and the view to the south of Greensboro and Spring Hill has barely budged in that decade.
Meanwhile, walking outside the immediate vicinity of those stops can be as miserable as ever.
The scenery looked considerably better near the Wiehle-Reston East and Reston Town Center stations, where transit-oriented development has taken off without having so much of each neighborhood already chopped up by six- or eight-line roads.
My perspective on the Silver Line has also changed after seeing so many other transit megaprojects in the U.S. fly off their budgetary rails–for example, the Purple Line in Maryland, which has reached the tracks-on-the-ground stage of construction after billions of dollars in overruns and remains at least three years from opening. After all the angst over financing Metro’s farthest-reaching extension into the suburbs, we got this done at a per-mile cost cheaper than almost every other new transit project in the U.S. and even some overseas.
We should take a little pride in this public work… especially when talking to New Yorkers whose far more extensive subway system still doesn’t touch any of their airports.
