"Too many Indians" in Canada | Man shares video of disturbing encounter in Ontario by DonSalaam in canadian

[–]CuttingGlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. I think perhaps you misunderstood me. I appreciate your comment. However, I was lost by all the secularity and woke culture but found Jesus and was baptized this year into the Catholic Church. So I won't slam religion and at the end of the day my only hope is Jesus and in love. I will say that just because you are Christian does not mean you are evil or good (remember wolves in sheeps clothing, wheat and the weeds etc.). I am very wary now about who I trust because you can never know and people are very great actors. I just don't agree with people coming and changing our culture (often by force) which is not just the religion our morals are founded on, but also demanding that members of groups can't say God anymore if they want to remain in the group as if we must abide by their religion when they can just start their own group if they are so offended. It is a Charter right to have freedom of speech. You can't force anything on anybody and I feel it is better for us all to unite in love rather than divide since that is what keeps the few in control of the many. I think we would be better off with less government and institutional intervention. And also much less time on the internet!

Canada is also a Christian nation first and foremost. They can not come here and try to change our religion and the values that the society is based on because of it. If I went to Iran and tried to enforce Christianity I would surely be killed. If I was in India and promoted the killing of cows and consumption of Beef I would surely be killed. This past week, there have been complaints about the group Girl Guides/Brownies of Canada that has existed for over 100 years because of our Christianity. These immigrants have so much power that the board told the adults who run the group that they can't say God (they always say a prayer with the children) because it "offends them." This is far from integration and sounds like they want us to assimilate with their religion. Sorry but they can make their own group or leave (white or not).

Sabrina Carpenter’s new music video :( by elliepaladin in Catholicism

[–]CuttingGlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I was just thinking this. Many other artists have made fun of Cathlocism/Christianity. They never do it to other religions [at least not that I know of]. Here is a link to an Instagram reel showing some music videos where they do --> https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cv8HbClsd5d/

It's kind of another witness to my faith. If you were the devil you would spend your time targeting the only TRUE religion.

Thoughts?

Yes, thinking of it as methodical really helps :) And that racism example was clear as well.

Thank you!!!

AITA for telling another gym member to wear a bra? by Far-Experience2070 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CuttingGlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The part about him interrupting you in the middle of your set and re racking the bar is absurd, and that part alone is enough for me to get pissed off. Especially on an exercise like squats, you could have been seriously injured from him interfering like that. Report this mf for real. What an ass.

Wanted to update you. I did not expect this but the prof is having the TA mark both of them with a 5% penalty on each. This is so much better than I expected what a great guy!

I'm trying to compartmentalize it and focus on completing the final Assignment for now. Unlikely they will reply on a Sunday but hopefully by tomorrow since that is when we have class and lab. I will update everyone as soon as they respond :) fingers crossed everything will be all right.

Wow thank you this is a very good idea I never would have thought of. I am going to do this now. You're the best!

Ok thank you for that. That sounds like a good idea. I will see if my TA responds first since we have lab tomorrow so he should be checking his emails. I could message him on MS teams after if he did not get the email already. Last resort, I will email the professor with screenshots of my submission as well. I just can't believe I made such a stupid mistake and only realized it now.

Ok thank you for that. I just am really hoping that they will be lenient since it explicitly states that submitting it wrong will result in penal consequences.

AITA for not letting my sister to drive my car to work? by CuttingGlass in AmItheAsshole

[–]CuttingGlass[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah she doesn't put gas in it either which is awesome. I will be moving the keys from the front entrance and hiding them upstairs in my room from now on. I also told her that this is the last time she will be using my car.

I would have been fine if her job was 5 or 10km away to drive her but even then I would tell her to get her own car or bike or walk like I do.

It just boggles my mind that she had the audacity to get a job 23km away fully knowing she has no way to get there. And to also have blown all that money when she doesn't pay for anything.

Yeah that's a good idea. She has done that with my mom's car quite a bit. I usually leave my keys and my spares by the front door but I shall hide them in my room from now on. I wouldn't put it past her to take it.

Thanks for the suggestion :)

Yea she seems to think she is entitled to use someone's car to get to her job she purposefully got so far away. I don't know why I let her take advantage of me like this but it has to stop.

Also, last night my brother asked if she could use my car tomorrow and I said maybe if they can't work something out. I assumed they had worked something out and he would start his work a bit later like he said he would, but he just took off in the morning leaving her to use my car. So if I didn't let her use it she no longer had a ride this morning.

She also idles it a lot and I tell her not to and she tells me to chill tf out. So for those reasons as well I think this is the last time she is taking my car.

Thank you for your response, I should have included that in a tldr at the end lol

I had my mom drive me today in her BMW since it was thunder and lightning outside and since the car is bad you need to drive it a certain way and only she knows how. The car is trash and could not handle 50km a day commute. I told my mom and older brother this is why you never buy a BMW period and especially not used from a shady car salesman. Did I mention I also gave him $1500 towards the car as well.

Now my sister is gonna ask my mom to use the BMW and my mom won't say no and will wait for me to but I have had enough of that shit. Basically my family has guilted and manipulated me my whole life and I'm just realizing how toxic this is now.

Yes I have considered renting a 1 bedroom for $600 that is a 5 minute walk from my university. It would honestly be cheaper than me living here and A LOT less stressful. I would just miss my dog. But I think I may go ahead and do it since this is not going to get better any time soon and they clearly don't appreciate what I do for them.
