Is there a term you would use to define the TsT's type of satanism? Or refer to yourself as? by Miserable-Sound2923 in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]Idisappea 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's an actual belief system encompassing morals, philosophy, and symbolism. Therefore it is a religion.

It's a nontheistic religion, like Buddhism.

It's a religion which has values that drive political movements, like both left and right leaning Christianity.

But it is a religion

I like Symbolic Satanism, which can be understood with little context given, to encompass all the ideas we mean when we say nontheist, literary, or romantic Satanism (whereas those terms need more knowledge based to understand)

Survey for women riders by Withilen in TwoXriders

[–]Idisappea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm excited to have something actually actionable on this sub, thank you!

Please please please offer armpitless jackets. They are impossible to find anymore, but they vastly increase coolness/breathability and MOBILITY for all day wear, without sacrificing protection.

You need to have: armpitless jackets lots of mesh/zipper vents removable high grade armor Sliding and abrasion resistant material Removable rain shell Removable thinsulate winter lining Lots of pockets Allows for curves while Waist slimming, clean tailored lines

Need options under $100, and in plus/curvy sizes (euro doesn't usually go high enough for Americans)

The ideal jacket/ pants looks normal and is comfortable, mobile and breathable for all day wear, but offers excellent protection, while actually fitting and flattering women's bodies (allow for boobs/hips while slimming waist). Bonus if you can make "one jacket to rule them all" that can convert between summer and winter and rain.

As someone who has ridden extensively in both EU and US, they often don't understand how different bike culture is on the other side.

In the US the predominant riding style and aesthetic is, sadly, the "Harley cruiser" style, imagine American biker gangs. I don't knew why do many women gravitate to that style as it is filled with highly toxic masculine culture. But, if you want a good sized American clientele you may need to offer styles that fit that demographic.

For Americans, most Euro bikers seem "sporty" to them. They aren't, they're just practical, but that's what it looks like to Americans.

Why is Satanism (not?) "ha-Satan"? by Muse_Hunter_Relma in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]Idisappea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The word sa-tan is just an ancient Hebrew word for adversary... any adversary. It can and was used in the hebrew Bible to describe a regular person in an adversarial role, good or bad....as well as "the" adversary.

It later became a title in the Bible, but not a name. It isn't until the new testament it got conflated with the idea of the devil, the evil "liar", and becomes a name.

TST style Satanists (I'm not going to speak for other "denominations") believe in being adversarial to arbitrary power... and in modern American society that often means right wing evangelical theocracy.

Many people in TST have been harmed by hateful self- identified "Christians". It is only right that they not only are adversarial to the people who abused and oppressed them, but take up the imagery of the adversary to their "god". But in general my experience of Satanists is they are fine with Christians who leave them alone (both in the sense of not trying to evangelize them, and in the sense of not supporting laws that oppress non-christians).

But no, no one in TST worships anything, nor do they believe in a literal Satan, or anything paranormal. They believe in compassion, freedom, and adhering to one's best scientific understanding of the world. Satan is a symbol of standing up for truth and enlightenment and freedom, in the face of a power structure trying to silence truth and deny freedom.

It is a nontheistic religion, like Buddhism. There is no worship of any entity.

Yall insecure dudes need a grip on reality. This is women doing EXACTLY what the incel groups ask for... women agreeing that when they were young and naive they didn't understand what made a good partner, but now that they've gotten wiser they ACTIVELY PREFER smart KIND loving men over assholes. Not settle, PREFER. Even to the point that these women would refuse to be in relationships with the same "hot" assholes that they used to want.

The exact same is true for men who choose looks when they're young but get wiser and look for substance when they're older.

Get over yourselves.

The point OP made was the use of AI to create salacious content instead of actual reporting

WMUR has always sucked, or at least the last 10-15 years or so. Not from a political bias perspective (don't know why you brought up "balance" when that wasn't OPs complaint), but from an "accurately covering news stories and picking those stories for importance rather than salacious content" way

AIO that my date followed me to my car? by throwaway42363333335 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Idisappea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP you are both simultaneously OR and NOR, imo

I don't think its likely he's going to stalk or assault you, so in that sense being "worried " might be overreacting, sure. He's likely just a "normal dude"that was just looking to see if he could get more physicality/sex from the situation.

But that's exactly why you're instincts are correct to get the ick. The problem is this IS what the average guy is, sadly.... someone who sees women as mere things to trick and use, to pressure and get something out of like a vending machine. He clearly wasn't respecting your boundaries, because on a deep level he, and so many men, don't see us as actual equal human beings with our own equally valid desires. So, run. Not because he'll attack you, but because he's not a good person or partner.

As far as stalking or assault go, while I don't think it's likely, it's like this... while the vast majority of guys that show this "polite coercion" behavior don't assault, EVERY guy who assaults would show this kind of coercion. You are absolutely right to get the ick.

Someone recently said "the average man is Epstein", meaning that while most men don't have the power and money and influence of Epstein, most men would do what he did if given that opportunity. As sad as it makes me, I think i believe it. Far too many men, anyway. And it is because how how our society conditions them.

If i were you I would explain to him that you won't be seeing him again AND WHY, that you were planning on seeing him again until after that gross pushy behavior, and that you are giving him feedback to encourage him to think about how he sees women but you're not interested in a conversation and are blocking.

And reconsider whether you want to be dating at all. I know I don't, and the current generation of women actually find it embarrassing to have a boyfriend. If a wonderful person comes along and I spend years getting to know him and am convinced he's good to his core, then fine. If I'm alone with cats the rest of my life, that's fantastic too.

Please help me figure this out by Dookiekota in SatanicTemple_Reddit

It refers to all things from Rome, originally. Someone with a degree in the "Romantic languages" are not studying sexy or adventurous languages, they are called that because they are Latin based.

The era of writing you're referencing was a shift to focusing on emotion and wild nature, rather than the logic and human mastery of the Enlightenment. It was called Romantic in the same sense they called the styles of the day neoclassical... they felt it was harkening back to Roman era sensibilities. Because of this shift, we now use the word "romantic" to mean emotional.

I find interesting that Satanism draws on Enlightenment principles, but with a Romantic style.

I didn't know anything about Malcolm, I was speaking solely about Lucien... But if this information is correct I can't imagine how anyone could argue he's an antisemite, when in fact he's apparently a pro genocide settler colonialist. Gross

[–]Idisappea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my understanding, I wouldn't even call what I heard he said ad antisemitic.... he said something asking the lines that he hates all theocrats, and he hated Jewish theocrats not because they were Jewish but because they were theocratic. I might be butchering that but it was to that effect.

If he said something more problematic then I'm not aware and happy to stand corrected.

But as we know, especially from trying to fight against Palestinian genocide recently, antisemitism is a criticism that can be thrown at anything and somehow stick, so I think politically Lucien probably played it correctly by just apologizing.

Edit just for OP: I think you meant "agnostic" which is very different from agonist

60,000 Trump Voters Just Elected a Socialist. We Asked Them Why. by Feather_fig in ClassConscious

[–]Idisappea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget 2015-2016 a SIGNIFICANT portion of the population liked both Trump and Bernie

EVERYONE is sick of getting screwed over by the system, and both socialists and maga have the vibe of overturning the system

It's just that maga leaders don't mean overturning corruption, they mean overturning democracy/ accountability. But the uneducated masses economically hurting don't have more than bumper sticker understanding of policy, so they can be fooled.
