It's not so much a matter of freedom of speech as it is cultural expectations.
In the U.S., people talk about religion freely. In Western Europe, religion is
considered more of a private matter, not fit for an internet discussion forum.

It will be sad to see you go as I have enjoyed seeing you post funny things and

I hope you will take this advice, in the Spirit in which it is offered. The forum
rules restrict certain highly controversial topics in order to keep everyone
friendly, and focused on the main purpose of this site, which is after all, something
as "worldly" as selling plastic toys.
However, you might well consider that one's faithful witness needs to exist
in a much broader world than a mere lego forum, or the statements you can make
here. It is really about living and growing every day, and in every area of life,
so as to demonstrate outwardly the reality of what you believe. A wise man once
said, "The Word is not bound". The rules exist, but are only restrictive within
a very small forum. In the big scheme of things, nothing can really hold you
back from doing what you feel is right.
I hope you stick around.

You are correct! I feel, however, that If I’m not allowed to voice my opinion
on something as little as my faith, then there shouldn’t be any reason to stick
around on this forum.
I’ve gone back and read many threads including one about removing guns from culture.
There are also members who are specifically devoted to spreading topics like
pride month on their store (and sometimes on the forum), a very serious topic
that can create some very heated debates. this shows me that stuff like that
can stay on,
While mine can’t. this all shows to me that they simply
pick and choose what to delete and what not to (I’m sorry moderator dude. You
seem great. Don’t take offense to what I say.) I will definitely continue selling
on here, but my forum activity will drop a lot. A lot of you guys have been very
good to me! Especially @popsicle! thank you all for everything! I will show up
randomly, so be prepared! Just not so often. Ciao!

This reply seems as if it's trying to make a bold statement of some sort.
Anything can result in an argument depending on the environment within which
it occurs. You reference a user with a specific username as a possible source
of an argument, but that user has only made one forum post about store sales
with a reference to the current month. Rule enforcement is actually pretty consistent
here.

I know from where you’re coming from, I understand. That said, let’s consider
what’s unfolded since you’ve jumped into the forum with both feet: All the fellow
BL members that you’ve gotten to know better? How about your Father’s Day, was
it made more? https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1346099 Or the
many others that chimed-in to lend support?
It’s about connecting with each other, real connections.
That said, the TOS are for all of us including those that run the site. They
are guardrails on the highway we have chosen to travel together upon. The Discussion
Mods in doing their job, are by design the immutability hard material of those
guardrails.
The way I see it, you're well within in the net plus column here in the forum.
But going forward please feel free to contact me, or any of the others that have
publicly shown willingness to help; we'll guide you with things such as TOS,
etc.
Personally, I view strongly held spiritual beliefs, as beautiful and delicate
flowers not to be picked or ripped from it's natural state within the mind,
but something to admired without disruption.

Unfortunately, as I mentioned before, I couldn’t even find the TOS until the
Moderator guided me to them. That was embarrassing 😂
I honestly did try to find them before posting such a thread. If I had known
it was a written in stone rule, I would have gone towards that post very very
differently.

Joking aside, from the looks of it, the moderators have not banned you from the
forum or asked you to change your name/picture. No one is asking you to reconsider
your faith, it's just not tos.

You shouldn't quit because of this. The forum is not a place for religion
and for politics. If you around years ago the were heated debates and some very
nasty things posted without religion or politics. Imagine what the forum would
be if those were allowed.
While I hate censorship, having studied Nazi Germany and the USSR, it is not
really censorship to not allow these subjects (Forum fights). We cannot post
nude pictures of people nor can we use all the fun descriptive words we all know,
use, and understand. I look more of what is not allowed as leaving more relevant
topics germane to Lego and or the personalities of those posting and reading.
Besides, I do not want to show everyone that disagrees with my views on these
subjects how wrong they are.

I didn't, even if I don't share your enthousiasm.
I'm sorry you quit.
On the other side, IMHO, I think religion (like sexuality) is your private domain,
your private choices.
I'm not fan of proselitism - but I do recommend BrickStore ha ha - or
someone trying to "sell" me his own faith, or again, sexuality.
I think I wrote you about this and your choice of name and logo, which could
have participated to your least favorite position, plus maybe this post you're
talking about but that I didn't read (was cancelled before I came).
All that said, you shouldn't leave for this, IMHO again.
Good luck!

I don't mean to rag on it. They set the rules of the game and then put on
a fun show.
It gave me a similar feeling that I got from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. They
waited SO long to continue the story and then drop little bits of untold history
that make me resentful that they didn't make the movies in the middle.

We also visited the Oregon coast (razor clam season) and other wondrous places

Excellent movie! In many ways better than the original.
I saw it in an IMAX theatre, and subconsciously picked seat F-18.
10/10 would definitely recommend.
I’ve built a very nice LEGO F-14 with working swing wings, I’m now looking for
a nice F-18 MOC to build.

Random does not necessarily mean without conscience choice. Random simply refers

In other words, you're asking if anyone has received emails (made, done,
happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision) from PayPal?
Do you honestly believe anything is "done without conscious decision" from any
entity such as PayPal?
The post is so ludicrous, I had trouble in formulating a rational reply. This
is the best I could do
|
Truth be told, in this day and age, the vast majority of emails are sent without
any conscious decision at all, by automated scripts and bots (unless, of course,
said email bots are conscious).
Of course, the person who wrote the script/bot was most likely conscious, but
even that cannot be taken for granted, for a significant amount of computer code
these days is written by… other code.

If you cat sit again, put aluminum foil in pots. The cats hate the foil and
it will keep them form climbing into pots to do business. Another option is
to put some tape sticky side up across tops of pots and they won’t mess with.

| It kinda looks like the message I get when I use Paypal multiple times through
a browser. Initially, I would need to go through the "I am not a robot" click-thingy,
but after a few times a message comes up at login, saying something to the effect
that Paypal now trusts the device I am using, and the robot clicks are now no
longer needed (but obviously the password is still required).
It looks like you are using their app though - I don't have any experience
with that.

I open it. I double-checked the address letter for the letter and the address
that sent it and it's all good and there aren't any links. It just reminded
me of when I had first to verify my account a while ago and they said I had to
send in a certain document and every time I submitted it they denied it but then
after submitting it like 15-20 times (not even exaggerating much) they accepted
it so maybe they had a copy of that in their system and they accepted it a second-time
by mistake since so many copies were sent.

It could be legit; especially if there's no link you've to click to.
If they require to do something, just open your account separately (no click)
and see if something is required there.
If not, send this e-mail to spoof@paypal.com - let them fix their own glitches

| Not recently. But perhaps it’s an old one that got “stuck” in the database any
sent out with a system refresh (I don’t know if thats even possible)

Did you login to you PayPal account and it requested an SMS code?
While it requests it all times since a year or more ago, very few I get a similar

But seriously, this is an update to a post some have asked about in the interum:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1302554
Almost lost them over the winter. Not so much the lack of UV or growth cycles,
but because of a toxic-to-plants substance, I knew nothing about: cat piss! I
understand it's use as a derogatory, now
My son was away on business and had us sit his (unbeknownst to us) pregnant cat,
this she-demon: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1329051 She had for
some reason been pissing in the saplings' pots at night. Almost killing them
within hours. I have never smelt ammonia as strongly as her urine, pungent as
Hell itself.
Well, I did the Botany ER thing with them for two months, I wasn't gonna
give up on them! I believe they’ll pull-through, against all odds.
The First is now nearly 5 feet tall now, she is Jazz. The second is doing well
too with beautiful dark green foliage, is Gavin.

The cat probably tried to kill the plants in self defense, avocados are poisonous
to cats.
Also, what happened to the poor minifig from the old plant pic during the ammonia
frenzy? (Since I know only too well that cats are pretty deadly for Lego collections
...)

You shouldn't. You can help clean them, ged rid of hair they'd swallow
and can make problems sometimes using your wet own hand, from time to time, with
no champoo or soap they'd lick and ingest.
Much more, they'll like this - a couple here litterally require me
(meow, meoww!) to wash them when I'm close to the bathroom sink, say once
a week.
Don't soap/bath them - apart maybe the first time when you've found a
stray or such rare cases.

Never mind. I figured it out. There's an icon for thumbnail size that you

Open studio, then Help, then User forum.
Or BrickLink, the big red Studo icon, Studio forum.
It's not here.

| If you look at the top of BrickLink, there is a Studio menu which leads to the
Studio Forum, where you can ask your question and they will be able to help you.
I suggest that in your initial question you mention what computer and browser
you are using, this will certainly make the resolution faster. And when you say
"it just won't work" what's happening? Is there an error message displayed?

What kind of computer do you have? Some people have had trouble installing Studio
on newer MacBooks, the kind with the Apple M1 chip.

Hi,
— Take two 2429c01.
— ‘Bend’ one at 36.87° (37° can do) and the other at 53.13° (53° can do).
To ‘bend’ a hinge:
— select it,
— hove over the hand-shaped icon (looks like a wench but it’s a minifig hand…),
there’s 3 icons, click on the rightmost one.
That’s the ‘special pose tool’ that allows to pose/hinge/modify composite parts.
Then:
— click on one plate,
— press 'R',
— now two possibilities:
a. — click on the rotation arrow,
— click in the textfield in the center of the rotation dial,
— enter the value for the angle.
b. — use the arrow keys: one press = 45°, +SHIFT = 5°, +CTRL = 1°.
— click in the empty space to quit the rotation tool,
— double-click in the empty space to quit the special pose tool.
Otherwise, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).
Please search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search
box is in the very dark grey banner).

| Basicly its asking for your permission if the program can make changes to your
system so that the program can run on your system. You can decide yes or no.
Do this with caution as it is your system.
Example
Kind of like when you download an app on your phone it may ask for changes to
better fit or run on your phone.

Studio heeft een eigen forum op https://forum.bricklink.com
Dit probleem is bij mijn weten nog niet eerder gerapporteerd. De enige oorzaak
die ik kan bedenken is dat het bestand zelf beschadigd is. Zou je op bovenstaande
forum je model willen uploaden? Dan zijn er verscheidene mensen die je wel willen
helpen het probleem op te lossen.
