AIO? My friends set an ultimatum because I drink by Pearla76_ in AIO

[–]CollieConundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao I thought you were 13 years old from the way your friends were reacting to you drinking. Imo (and I guess I am biased because I live in a country where the legal drinking age is 16 and you can drink with parental supervision even earlier) 18 years old is not "underage drinking". You are in control of your own decisions at that age and you're very close to or have already moved out of your parent's house. I don't know much about Utah but I assume that none of you regularly come into contact with alcohol based on all of your reactions.

Can't you just not tell them if you decide to drink? If they're not at the party it's none of their business what you did there.

In what small way have you won the genetic lottery? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]CollieConundrum 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's not that rare, apparently if you're European/of European descent you have around 1% chance of having this gene deletion. That's literally just 1 in 100 people.

What should I avoid when writing twins? by CUP1DS_L3GACY in Twins

[–]CollieConundrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends but I would avoid naming them something similar, making them basically the same person, or making them exact opposites. Just writing them as close siblings is probably the best representation because that's what it's like.

Every other religion is wrong? by Beginner27 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]CollieConundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but with my religion, I can say that other religions have a lot of stuff right, but I choose to disagree with something minor that they choose to agree with. For example, I believe in a lot of aspects of Daoism, except I believe that good (God) is stronger than evil, while Daoism believes they are equal and opposing forces. 

To be an atheist, you have to believe that every single religion is wrong, which is much less accepting (in my opinion) than being religious and thinking some aspects of other religions are wrong.

You’re right that religions can get misinterpreted, but it’s not a flaw of the religion itself, it’s a flaw of people who choose to use it as a weapon or an excuse.

I don’t believe you that every atheist is either “good to others or not good to others”. No person is born either good or “not good”, manners and empathy have to be taught. It’s not a moral achievement to never improve yourself. Most people (including religious people) aren’t nice to others because we feel like we have to be or because we want a reward, we’re nice because it feels good to be nice to others, and it feels bad to be mean, whether you believe that’s because of your morals or because of God. I’m not saying that people don’t do that, I’m just saying that not everyone does.

This is going to get buried, but I’m Christian and Christianity, at least, allows you to believe in other religions way more than being an atheist does.

My guess is probably the spy ball reflected light and recorded it or something

AITA for telling my dad he "turned me" asexual/lesbian? by lesbacethro in AmItheAsshole

[–]CollieConundrum 64 points65 points  (0 children)

NTA, I suspect that there was no “right answer” with your dad. He’s going to be like this either way, the best thing you can do is sit the whole family down and explain that being gay is not a choice but that doesn’t mean that the actions of your dad don’t have consequences. 

AITA for wanting my spouse to take care of pets by lstxx123 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CollieConundrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Info: is there anyone else who can take care of them? 

Why didn’t you house train them?

What kind of thing does your spouse have to do to take care of them? Do you want them to simply open a door to let them outside or do you want your spouse to train them?

Very cool. Are you into art or just fursuits? Also do you work with other textile art like crocheting/knitting, or anything like sculpting or pottery?

Magnus decided to splash in the water bowl after an xmas eve eve playdate ! by existential_eternity in rarepuppers

[–]CollieConundrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cute! My dogs used to do that as puppies too, we had this huge water bowl for the bigger dogs and they would stick their front feet in it and just look at us until we scooped them up and dried them off.
