    Thanks to Nate for all the recent meme additions. These are great for sharing on social media. Just in case newer readers don't realize it, Nate also did the Nate's "Allegory of the Oasis" Graphic which we've featured on the front page of the forum for several years now. Thanks Nate!

    The latest additions are here: https://www.epicureanfriends.com/wcf/gallery/in…ead-image-list/

    Wow I missed that Donald Robertson article on "Why the Military Should Teach Stoicism." Didn't know that was out there -

    Changed the title of the thread from “Thanks to Nate For All the Recent Meme Additions” to “Thanks to Nate For The Recent Meme Additions”.

    Thanks, Cassius!

    That meme in particular made me laugh because I needed an egregiously pro-Stoic headline for comedic juxtaposition and I thought it was fitting that Donald Robertson not only wrote this, but published it within the last few months.

    It was only after capturing it that I realized he wrote it. I can always count on Donald for new material. ^^

    Cassius I was about to upload more when I received a storage limit error. The files, themselves, are small, and I deleted some duplicate images to save storage space. Is there a Trash Can somewhere that needs to be emptied?

    Nate - Check now and see if you still have the same problem. I think you probably won't, but let me know.

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com

What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:

  • First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
  • Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
  • Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
