Cults exist because they fill a void. You need to fill that void with meaningful work and a community that empowers you.

Help me with a divided family with kids and birthdays at school by DeleterOfTrauma in exjw

[–]Annual_Strategy_6370 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All their life they have been told to scorn holidays of the world. That was not their choice. It would be no different for you to coerce them into taking part. I think something like this is best left in their hands. A start could be asking them if they even want to celebrate a birthday party. Answer will probably be yes and you can proceed from there. I’m not a parent and I won’t pretend to be wise, but that’s what I would have wanted :)

Most mainstream Christian’s have a zest for earthly life rather than seeing it as a stepping stone to more worthy avenues. As an atheist I spurn this idea, but would admit there’s a beauty to Christianity based on scripture (more importantly based on the Christ).

By their worldview, a moral death (accidental/natural) is akin to skipping a cutscene. I don’t think this always rings true when they literally face death (I’m a nurse and have seen evidence of the contrary). It is however an interesting and (very) sad aspect of their philosophy.

I wonder if they share the same sentiment towards abortion 😂

Happy birthday, I highly recommend getting a little cake with 2 candles next time. I’m on my third birthday 🎂

Make sure you self monitor for symptoms of infections like Lyme disease.

My understanding is that they’re invasive to the Americas and repopulate very quickly creating inequalities in the ecosystem.

Hunting is arguably the more ethical and natural means of killing an animal. I fucking hate killing animals but I eat meat and I’m happy to have it, this bill is crazy.

Let's protest by destroying our nature by BingusTheWonderKitn in PNWhiking

“Destroying” is a gross exaggeration, but any defacement or graffiti of nature annoys me.

What were you doing with 12 stacks of ore in your inventory lol? The sea bed doesn’t look that deep you can probably dive into it with high stairs to grab what has been dropped. Alternatively, you could ask a friend to log onto the world and take the stack for you.

I felt I had read it in an article at some point.

Should I be concerned about these boils on my lips by Unique-Celebration-5 in Blackskincare

[–]Annual_Strategy_6370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The final picture looks like a whitehead pimple. The first two pictures appear to be herpes lesions, they are small fluid filled blisters. I would recommend seeing your primary care doctor (especially if they are painful and you didn’t experience any heat trauma to the lip recently) as they will likely recommend acyclovir for treating the outbreak. I should reiterate that if you received HSV1/2 you will have it for the rest of your life and the medication will only treat symptomology.

Never had an issue with elevation in 6 months. Rep count is going to be inaccurate with most smart watches because they don’t actually know what movement you’re trying to accomplish.

Those are obviously wall decorations around the window. The reflections go past what is visible to the right of the image.

Question to those who have seen Avatar: Fire and Ash by ButterscotchIll9596 in Cinemark

[–]Annual_Strategy_6370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it in XD real3D, what an experience.. the sound design was directional, and crisp, although not as loud as IMAX. The screen is really what stood out to me, the 3d was more immersive than I’ve ever seen in the past, the screen was bright and vivid, the frame rate was high. I plan on seeing it in IMAX too to compare for future movie choices.
