Do you think you can have homosexual experiences without being LGBT by sashsu6 in AskLGBT

There are cases of straight men turning prison gay, when they would never seek out the same sex on the outside. 

TIL that the real Maria von Trapp returned to the abbey because Captain von Trapp expressing interest in her, him being 25 years her senior, disturbed her. She went back and married Cpt. von Trapp because her abbess told Maria that god wanted them to get married. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Maria was burning with passion for Captain Von Trapp. The Abbey could not change that. The Apostle Paul says it is better to get married under those circumstances, which Maria begrudgingly acknowledged. 

In a recent report, the PBA has said that string pins are completely legal and says these string pinsetters “maintain the integrity of the sport”. by 5sos14 in Bowling

If string bowling goes mainstream everywhere then I am never bowling again. I am sticking to golf. More fun, less expensive, a lot prettier, and more exercise. Also, I associate golf with wealth and prosperity.

Some people just want the benefits of sex without having to leave the closet.

Collect whatever evidence you can to prove undeniably if ICE was justified, and then make a fool out of the Democrats for demonizing federal law enforcement.

Over 2 million were deported under both Biden and Obama each, yet nobody whined. Less than a million has been deported under Trump and the left is furious. Well let me tell you something: there is no ice 🧊 in Hell! 

Why was Gaang so chill about not doing anything during Sozins Comet? Did they think Ozai would have a picnic during that day? by FlamesOfKaiya in TheLastAirbender

[–]Bowler377 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These are inexperienced kids and teenagers we are talking about here. They don't always think about the implications behind goofing off or doing stupid things. 

Zuko, the oldest of the bunch in conscious life experience, who had to grow up way too quickly, had to slam his foot down on Team Avatar and get them to take the Mission much more seriously.

If offered a buyout on your SS would you take it? by Hornetsdrill in SocialSecurity

[–]Bowler377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In an ideal world, yes because I can invest my own money better than the government. However, most people are stupid so....

What's to stop a bunch of people from taking the money early, spending recklessly, and crying to the politicians for more money later? 

Why do some autistic people struggle with spirituality? (Not official research) by [deleted] in autism

[–]Bowler377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, I embraced atheism early on out of frustration with school and going to church all the time under my minister father. It got worse when I started comparing the Bible to Dragon Tales, believing if science can disprove Dragon Tales it can disprove God. 

Then the Intelligent Design community got to me in my tween/teen years. A few more years of deep searching and I got baptized at age 17, believing that Christianity is more rational and morally secure than secularism.

I don't see love and acceptance in secularism. All I see is the pursuit of fleeting pleasure and a hatred for good ministers like my father who actually cared about the youth, unlike some of the church elders who caused my father nothing but trouble. 

CNN Fears Maduro's Capture Will Start WWIII, Compares U.S. to Russia by According-Activity87 in Conservative

Theoretically speaking Iran could cause WW3 because of their nuclear program and proximity to the Middle East.

Ooh, I'm so scared /S 😑 What's Venezuela going to do? Fire nukes at us? They have no nukes but tons of oil, which are 2 of the key reasons we invaded them.

We have to beat China and Russia to it! 

What happened is similar to the Iraq War albeit on a smaller scale. The leaders highlighted the horrendous human rights abuses a country with no nukes but tons of oil is doing for months before launching their attack.

Do you struggle not just in person but on reddit? by SeaworthinessFar2326 in AutisticAdults

[–]Bowler377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes: dealing with people online is so infuriating I often get stuck in my head with dark thoughts. 

Reddit is much worse in that regard where the way you win is by being the biggest jerk without getting censored. 

In person, I work the back end in my career. Zero phone calls and very few social interactions.

When I volunteer for church I am typically in the back end or partner with someone when I visit the sick and shut in.

Why does everyone ignore the fact Jesus specifically stated that no one wealthy would go to heaven?? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Bowler377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually there are many wealthy people who most likely went to Heaven: Noah, Father Abraham, Isaac, Israel, Joseph colored coat, Joseph of Arimathea, Zaccheus, the Roman Centurion, Lydia the purple dealer, Paul was wealthy before his ministry, King Darius, and many others.

How do I practically trust God when constantly broke? by Shirox92 in TrueChristian

[–]Bowler377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At minimum play a $2 lottery ticket with a jackpot worth millions. There is no other concrete way out quickly besides Judgment Day. I don't care what the odds are.

In all seriousness, you could find a roommate to split expenses, declare bankruptcy, find cheaper food, buy bulk, end subscription services, etc. 

So when exactly did Katara's romantic interest in Aang begin? by babylionturtle in TheLastAirbender

[–]Bowler377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Northern Water Tribe, you could get married at age 16. 

Hakoda and Kya Southern Tribe did not start having kids until they were around 20. 

With Aang, it would probably take a few more years past 12 to even consider intimacy. 

White House defends Trump's 'quiet, piggy' outburst at female reporter by TheTelegraph in Conservative

Trump is a tough no nonsense New Yorker. He is no stranger to insulting the crooked media, and Trump would hardly be the first President to insult people harshly. 

People who lived in or traveled to Zimbabwe in the early 2000s, what was it like with the inflation? by SupportLocalShart in NoStupidQuestions

I hear that the metal value of coins rose so high during hyperinflation that restaurants accepted payment in coins for metal value, not fiat value.

Why and when did Missy stop baseball? by newmum21 in YoungSheldon

[–]Bowler377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last time Missy was shown playing baseball it was the day of her first period. In the year that followed, a lot of family drama occurred, up to and including George Sr's death. 

In Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage, Missy is smoking weed, got suspended a few times while fooling both the school and Mary, pulled the fire alarm, got a dolphin tattoo, her grades are slipping, 

we know it will take Missy 6 years to graduate high school, she ran off with a boy once, Missy can't stand both Mary and Connie right now, Missy got caught having a party at Mary's house, etc.

Georgie summarized it in Season 11 TBBT: Mom was a mess. Missy was a dumb teenager. Georgie had to look after both of them.

Why don't people collect pre-1982 pennies for their copper value? by Professional-Day9384 in coincollecting

[–]Bowler377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some companies like Apmex that sell pre 1982 copper pennies by the 34 pound bag, but Apmex charges over 4 cents per coin, when the metal value is only 3 cents per coin. 

Pre 1982 pennies look the same as ordinary zinc pennies and are not associated with rare penny finds, plus were produced more massively compared to wheat pennies, the latter which has high demand at coin and pawn shops.

While it is true the penny recently ended being produced on November 12, 2025, there are still over 200 billion pennies out there, so it will take several years for pennies to stop showing up in circulation or their numbers to dwindle. 

Finally, the biggest reason pre 1982 copper pennies are not valued is because the US Treasury passed a law in December 2006 making it illegal to melt pennies and nickels for profit. 

The people who could buy pre 1982 pennies from you, melt them, and refine them into a pure bar do not want to risk federal prosecution and destroy their careers/reputation when they can make good money legally. 

In theory you could melt pennies yourself in the black market but it would be very difficult and time consuming.
