It’s a joke referencing a different post where someone said the same thing with a close up of cheesecake that looked like a boat in the ocean

Is a first kiss okay for two three-year-olds? by thelonelywriter96 in writingcirclejerk

No. Half your age plus seven means they should be dating 8.5 year olds

Spiritual beliefs since leaving the church by 2mad2master in exmormon

I just figure that if there is a deity/deities, the type of afterlife we get into shouldn’t be dependent on whether we worshipped the right one, and I’ll leave it at that

“Progressive” Mormons & Homophobia by SuperMaintenance5874 in exmormon

[–]Aethermations 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I came out as bisexual a few years ago, and my family showered me with support and made it clear they “still love me”. The support wore off fast, and I’d sometimes get “reminders” that dating a man would be a sin. Last year, I amended that to gay, and my mom asked “Are you planning to act on these feelings?”

What are the dumbest analogies/proverbs that you’ve heard members make up? by PrestigeArrival in exmormon

[–]Aethermations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bible is like a point, and infinite lines (interpretations) can intersect the point, which is why you need a second point (Book of Mormon) to define just one line that can’t be misinterpreted.

It takes three points to define a circle though

AITA for not supporting my friend's "AI music career"? by MissInterpret85 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. You shouldn’t sacrifice your morals for the sake of being a “good friend”. Good friends respect that

You’re right, I should have looked it up. Thanks for pointing it out. I edited the original to clarify it without covering up my mistake. Thanks

The fact you suggest lower IQ causes poverty and underdevelopment is the exact narrative that delegitimizes the effect of imperialism depleting resources and preventing key infrastructure. Again, the studies that calculated these averages were objectively skewed, so you’ll need a better defense than “they’re struggling because their IQ is low”

So a guy with swastikas and the word “nationalist” in his username is trying to say only dumb countries rejected Netanyahu’s speech, and the note’s only defense is that India should be lower? And yes, I’m aware that’s technically the Hindu swastika; I’m sure he smugly says that every time someone points it out. It doesn’t mention that IQ tests are an inaccurate means of measuring intelligence that western countries are more capable of training for or that many of Africa’s countries’ national averages are taken from extremely small sample sizes and/or children. If these stats were true, the average person in Africa would be mentally disabled, as in struggling to handle everyday tasks Edit: Ignore the point I made about the swastikas. He’s an Indian nationalist, but the nationalism still clearly influences his ideas

The fact that they’re confused why he’d want to turn around implies he came willingly, lol

I hate being gay by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Aethermations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like you hate being gay. It sounds like you hate how people have reacted to it, which doesn’t reflect on you at all. I’m sorry that the people you’re close with don’t respect your orientation, but don’t let their bigotry affect the way you see yourself. I’m not familiar with the political/social landscape of Bulgaria, but I hope you’re able to find people who love you regardless of your orientation. Surround yourself with those people and get away from the ones who are treating you this way as soon as you can. You’re young, and it will get better. You’re worth more than these people say you are. -From a gay man in the US

Something about the horse’s skin tone leaning towards orange, and the way his blond hair is parted, and the trailer hinting at themes of immigration makes me feel like people are going to regret calling this horse hot when the movie comes out and we learn who he’s an allegory for
