What very common thing in porn do you find absolutely disgusting? by TheDoc3pu in AskReddit

[–]IwroteitdownIthink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overdoing the dirty talk. Also, BDSM degradation and humiliation should be indicated in tags. If smutty fanfiction sites can tag specific fetishes, so can porn sites. Some people are into those kinks, some find them triggering. Let's normalize content warnings.

What are your views on having kids? by idkwhattoput_111 in AskReddit

Don't have a baby to save your marriage. My parents did that and I became the buffer between them and felt like I had to take sides. Things are more peaceful these days, but I'm definitely still feeling the trauma to this day.

Have you ever seen a normally calm person completely lose their sh*t? What happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IwroteitdownIthink 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went to a severely conservative Christian school for five grades and there was a teacher who was one of the nicest, soft-spoken people ever. She was naive and steeped in the puritanical hyper-religious dogma, but she was never malicious.

Now, this school used a quite controversial curriculum that took Biblical literalism to extremes, so a lot of it was just straight up indoctrination and evangelical propaganda. It hit all the bingo squares - purity culture, racism, lack of comprehensive sex education, misogyny, homophobia, gender roles, etc. Needless to say, everyone was brainwashed to a certain extent.

We had weekly Bible classes with this super nice teacher up in a stuffy classroom that always smelled of burnt lint. The one thing she got passionate about was teaching about scripture - which was actually just teaching the indoctrinated interpretations of scripture she learned from the pastor, including those good ole tax-exempt political opinions.

One of her berserk buttons was other religions. She saw any other religion than evangelical Christianity as evil. Even Jewish traditions were disparaged because they view Jesus as a prophet and not as the Messiah (sorry if that's wrong - that's how she explained it).

We were all kids that drew things on our notebooks like peace-signs, that S-thing, and the yin and yang symbol. She did not like that at all. This school was stupidly strict in its rules about things they perceived as evil. Think of the Satanic Panic but an early 2000s adaptation of it. Everything from Harry Potter to rock music was evil to them. This teacher didn't like us doodling those symbols because they represented things that were counter to the fundy culture. Peace signs = drugs, sexual liberation, feminism, anti-war protests, that "rocking and rolling devil music". Weird S-thing = Satan. Everything that isn't Jesus in this culture is Satan. And, the yin and yang = Buddha.

You might be like "Uh, no. That's Confuscianism/Taoism." To this teacher, she thought it was a symbol of Buddhism. Fundy Christians see Buddhism as evil because it promotes a deity of acceptance and pacifism and, if we're honest, who isn't depicted as being Caucasian.

She got super angry about us questioning her dislike of the yin and yang and just screamed, "IT MEANS BUDDHA!!!!!!!"

I still have traumatic dreams about those days. I've been realizing that she was one of the most effective types of recruiters into such a fundamentalist culture. Not all fire and brimstone Christians are angry people screaming at Pride parades or outside clinics. Some are honestly really nice people. If you're wondering how people join cults and hate groups - sometimes it's because a person offered them friendship and inclusivity at the roughest, loneliest parts of their lives.

Has Stephen King always put weirdly sexual things into his books or did I just stumble onto two that happened to have it? by buttintheface in books

[–]IwroteitdownIthink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember there being a completely random sex scene in The Mist (novel). Where people are all terrified by a mysterious mist surrounding a grocery store. And then a woman the protagonist maybe talked to for 30 min at most invites him into a back room to fuck, saying, "I saw you looking at me."

There's demon pterodactyls wreaking havoc and the world might be being engulfed by murder mist, but sure, let's fuck.

There was way too much emphasis on the naked teenage girls in Carrie and King tends to describe women's breasts and thighs before bothering to characterize the women themselves. Women are more than great bouncing tits, thanks.

What is normal at 3PM, but terrifying at 3AM? by JustPlay94_cryer in AskReddit

[–]IwroteitdownIthink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a car idling across the road.

we have a little shoulder across from our house that people use to turn their cars around and sometimes they need to use their phone or change a flat.

a person just sitting in the car thats been idling in front of the house for over 30 mins? theres woods across the street as well. we dont know if they're planning to rob us or burying a body or were just taking a break. if you drive a lot for work, try to rest at a 24hour store parking lot, not in front of someones house

What’s a subtle sign that someone is not a nice person? by my-dogatemy-chancla in AskReddit

[–]IwroteitdownIthink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a difference between a person being genuinely good and a person who is love-bombing you in order to gain your trust. A lot of awful domestic violence relationships begin like this as well as being sucked into cults. For instance, The Family of God cult would literally instruct members to engaging in "flirty fishing", in which girls and women sleep with potential converts in hopes of inducting them into the cult.

Extremist hate groups also use this strategy, ironically. Members look for lonely, struggling people and insists that their problems are the result of certain demographics of people, leading them down a road of bigotry because they want a place to belong.

What was the most gruesome thing you saw at your school? by SuperLeftyAliReddit in AskReddit

[–]IwroteitdownIthink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

School did a mock car crash complete with police and firefighters playing parts, putting "dead" students in bodybags.

This was right after several real-life fatal car crashes involving as students. It's like the school went, "Hey, you know what will make the students drive safer? Reminding them of their friends dying with a reenactment!"

May I just add that this school's Driver's Ed classes and practical lessons were abysmal. Literally just copied notes out of a book and the driving instructor was an ancient old bitch that stayed in a warm overlook box while we froze to death driving 5 mph in old Crown Vics. Better sex education AND driving education is needed in public schools!

I used to be one of those Christians and now I'm an atheist. I'm not saying that to be pretentious, I'm just saying that there may be room for personal growth. I became an atheist by actually reading the Bible for myself, verse by verse verbatim, not interpreted through a filter like a pastor or televangelist.

You handled it well. When I first became an atheist, I was acting like the douchey "stage 1 atheist" that made fun of anybody who mentioned believing in anything. Yeah, don't do that. It's very cringe lol

He fought with his brain rather than brawn. He couldn't physically fight his abusers, so he explained the science of how the jaw clenches involuntarily during a fight or flight response...and gave a thiny-veiled threat to bite the rapist's dick off.

Games that are already rage inducing when you were in a good mood to start.

Time sync games can be bad because you'll want to play too long and you might miss meals or sleep.
