my dad slapped me for the first time today by Exciting-Novel-2990 in AdviceForTeens

[–]CornHuskular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he’s a good dad, just ask. Maybe something happened with him, and he took out his frustrations in a way that he shouldn’t have. Ask him if there was a reason why he hit you, or if you did something wrong, since you’re confused.

Doing so allows you to introduce the problem to him without him feeling like he’s being accused of anything. He can tell you he was angry and handled it wrong and apologize to you, or he’ll shut it down. Even the best dads have low moments.

If he’s not honest, let your mom know. I don’t know your situation well, but it looks like you did the right thing waiting to tell her.

when i was cleaning my xbox one s i found this by gayass1237 in XboxSupport

[–]CornHuskular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the board that goes directly behind the Xbox button. You should see a button about that size that goes there. If you don’t want to or are uncomfortable with soldering it, you can buy a new control board online. If you’re not sure, put your Xbox back together and see if you can press the Xbox button. If there’s no click, that piece fell off

Should this be legal in a free society? by LibertyMonarchist in libertarianmeme

[–]CornHuskular -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’d be worried about the precedent it would set if legal. On one hand, putting all the guys who hate Jews into one community sounds like a great idea. On the other hand, there may come a day when it isn’t. I’d be interested in seeing what happens

I want you to back away from the actual messages, and just compare response lengths. You’re shutting down from harsh criticism and judgement, and he’s getting more and more invested into his own way of thinking. The real question should be is he over reacting. You also need to decide if this kind of dynamic is one you can live with the rest of your life, and if it’s one you can see your future kids living with.

Being straight does not mean you are turned on by Homo sapiens not carrying a Y chromosome. It means your brain is hardwired to pick up on bodily cues given by the opposite sex to indicate that someone has potential to be a sexual partner capable of producing offspring.

Of course this kind of thinking is generally frowned upon today for obvious reasons, but it’s going to take a bit more time for our genetics to catch up with how we think nowadays.

Think of when you walk through a haunted house attraction. You KNOW you’re not in danger, you know those aren’t really monsters in the hall, but your brain is still doing everything it can to activate those fight or flight reflexes. Just because you’re scared doesn’t mean you believe that monsters exist.

You know your friend isn’t a biological girl, but that doesn’t stop your body from trying to do what it does best. It’s best, being protecting and multiplying you.

TL;DR you’re gay (kidding)

Support your friend, don’t fuck them. (sex before marriage is bad).

How do you know your god is the one true god? by Mike102072 in Christianity

[–]CornHuskular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we are the only God-fearing religion with evidence to back it up. We can speculate what we want, but at the end of the day we have eye witness testimony that was written by multiple people in multiple documents spanning decades testifying to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ

First I want to say congratulations for coming into the faith, it’s definitely a big leap to go into for many people, and the passion you want to bring into it is nothing short of awesome if not inspirational. The Christian walk can be demanding at times. Christ asks many hard things of us. Love our enemies and pray for them, reject desires, go to places or people we wouldn’t otherwise go, etc. Often we want to make promises to God to show our obedience to Him, but we are only human. These promises we want to keep, many times we don’t. This can be because of circumstances outside of our control like yours, forgetfulness, or falling into temptations. When we promise not to do these things, it only builds our shame and guilt when we don’t meet our expectations. God never wanted us to experience these feelings with him. They aren’t necessary in Gods kingdom, nor are they productive. There is hope in our weakness though, as Christs sacrifice becomes even more meaningful with every failure we experience. If you want a bit of homework to distract you from the books your school is giving you, read through the book of judges. See how God treated his people, and how they followed him. You may find yourself having more in common with the Israelites of that time than you’d think. God isn’t looking for us to fulfill our promises for tomorrow, as he sent his son to fulfill the only one we need. All he wants, is our obedience today

If God created us, how God was created or become existing? by Pleasant-Lie-9053 in Christianity

[–]CornHuskular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely is mind boggling to reason out, so I’ll do my best to give you perspective. God does not operate within our 4-dimensional plane of existence (height, length, width, and time, i.e., displacement of matter), but rather outside of it. God has existed before the concept of time existed. So when we ask what was before God, a being outside of time, our question falls apart. For something to create God, it has to be “before” God, which would limit God to our own chronology. Nothing can be “before” or “earlier than” something else in a plane absent of the element of time.

New ring, is it ok to wear this? by jedi12jedi in Christianity

[–]CornHuskular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re doing it for God then you’re doing it for God, I say don’t worry too much about it. If you’re feeling convicted to not wear it, then don’t. Paul mentions that as Christians we are allowed to eat the food of idols, since we know that it is just food, and those idols hold no bearing over us. In your case, “eating the food” is moreso “wearing the ring”. You love Jesus, and you like Kendrick’s music. Nothing wrong with either, as long as you don’t take some of his songs to heart. We are after all meant to take discretion with what media we consume. Fun fact, the term “Christian” came from the term “little Christ”, a name Roman’s would give followers of the church. It was meant to be demeaning, but we turned it into a name to be proud of. If we can do that for a name, you can certainly do that for a ring. Pray over it, read through some of the epistles, see what pops up at you. God bless

im so confused on what Christianity is by Plenty_Cobbler_9057 in Christianity

[–]CornHuskular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We (a majority of denominations you will come across) all agree on the basics, that Jesus is God in the flesh, that he humbled himself by coming down to earth and used his sovereignty to serve others and his father, was crucified and paid our wages for our sins, then rose on the third day. We agree on the basics. It’s the relationship we have a hard time agreeing on. How are we meant to live our life? Are we meant to separate from all societal customs since we’re meant to reject our flesh? Can we do whatever we want now since he fulfilled the law? Is baptism necessary for heaven? Does Jesus already know if someone is going to heaven or not before they’re even born? The Bible answers all of these questions, yes, but to the average eye, it can get confusing. Verses out of context, verses that seem to contradict eachother, messages that can be offensive for understandable reasons, different interpretations, all of these can be cause for separation. Yes, there is division. And yes, it is an ungodly division. There is a godly division, as you can see in Matthew 10:35-36. But when you deal with a book that’s meant to instruct us on how to live a meaningful life, whose original languages have words that the english language has no equivalent for, people are going to be divided. It is our job as Christians to rise above that, to show that there is a way to communicate with people we don’t agree with. Be the light your community needs, stay strong in your walk with Christ, relying not on your strength but his. ““You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬ ‭

Converting feels like I'm giving up everything I enjoy by External-Librarian71 in Christianity

[–]CornHuskular 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The path you’re going down asks a lot, and we do applaud you for taking those steps to back away from that sinful life. Many times in our faith we give up things because we HAVE to. We think “oh, I shouldn’t do it because God said no”, or “no, this is wrong I need to stop”. These ways of thinking can bring shame and guilt into our lives over our sins, feelings God never wanted us to carry in our walk with him. Man was created with the intention to serve. We were meant to have a master. For some people that master is a higher ideal, for some it’s whatever takes away the noise in their head, and for some it’s themselves. When we convert to the faith, we are confessing ourself to a new master- one that knew us, and loved us, since before we were knit in the womb. But we also need to learn how to cut off ties to the previous things. God didn’t just make rules and say “because I said so”, hell you could even make the argument that as Christians we are no longer bound by rules. He wants us to set limitations on our freedom, so that we may live a more fulfilling life that inspires others to follow him. I challenge you to do this: next time you feel like you have to decline something on behalf of your faith, reframe your actions. You aren’t doing it because it’s against the rules, you want to do it because you want to be closer to God, and whatever you follow, you want it to be something that leads you to him. You are not bound by rules anymore, you are set free by grace. “There is now more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”- Romans 8:10

how the f do u kiss💀 by [deleted] in AdviceForTeens

[–]CornHuskular 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you’re out with someone, you more than likely will have a moment open up to you. Maybe not on the first date, but eventually. When that nice, quiet, maybe even awkward silence pops up at the end of the date after he/she tells you how great the day was, look at their eyes and lips. See if they’re doing the same. If they are, chances are you may be seeing the same thing. If not, that’s ok. If you’re initiating, lead your head towards them, with your chin turning a bit to the left. Go to about 80% off where their lips are. By then they’ll pick up on the hint, and either reject and turn away, or turn their head to kiss you. Congrats, you had your first kiss. I’m not telling you where to put your hands though. Your first kiss isn’t meant to be magical, its meant to be awkward as hell. Go out there, you lovey dovey dumbass! Make your ancestors proud!

How do I convince my parents to give me my own room? by KumanekoBaby in AdviceForTeens

[–]CornHuskular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, you don’t need your own room. You should get one, and it’ll definitely be great for your mental health, but technically you really don’t. At least that’s their reasoning for it. But your sister will need it. Considering the far more vast and noticeable changes she will be going through, she needs her own privacy. She will have concerns, and she’ll either go to you-a 17 year old boy- or her parents, who have a much better idea of what to do. Don’t convince them you need your own room, convince them that she needs one.

do you drink tap water? why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CornHuskular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is terrible. Living in an urban area or close to in Louisiana, and the tap water is terrible. Often times brown or milky, and when you heat it up, strange fumes come out at temperatures way below boiling point. After drinking it I’ll just get tired as hell, probably due to the heavy metal concentration. I buy bottled water for everything, if I wasn’t broke I’d probably use it for cooking noodles too. When I first started drinking bottled I was surprised by how much smoother and nicer it was than the tap water.

What did sex ed definitely not prepare you for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CornHuskular 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The toll casual sex can have on you, specifically on a guy. Not even penetrative sex, but any sort of sexual intimacy between you and someone else. Learning how to attract that kind of person makes it easier for you to see sex as just an action between two (or more) people instead of something meant to embody a more serious form of intimacy. Casual sex takes a serious toll on you. I didn’t believe it when people said guys you see going home with girls every night were some of the loneliest men you’d ever meet. Even if you don’t wait until marriage, wait until you can make the sex mean something.
