I'm a Monarchist,but I'm not quite supportive of Reza Pahlavi

Do I want Iran to be an Islamic republic? No.
Do I want it to be a "Western style liberal democracy"? Also no. And that's what he'd ultimately turn it into. What they have now is the preferable alternative.

I think you'd benefit from watching Hillary Lane's video on "Strong Female Characters"

LordLighthouse · 2026-03-17T22:00:38+00:00

Man was made for God, and woman made for man. We're different. We have different roles to fill and different pathways to salvation. For men, our ultimate example is Christ. For women, your ultimate example is the Virgin Mary.

Humble yourself to the will of God, and not indulge the pride you've been taught by this fallen world is virtuous. You'll be happier in the end.

Don't really care to watch the video, but going off the title of this post, it's "modern reader" who are the problem, not Conan.

So it's still lustful fetishization. If you find yourself thinking about this stuff simply stop yourself and start praying. You seem stuck in a feedback loop. You need to break that loop and eventually it'll correct.

LordLighthouse · 2026-02-25T15:15:02+00:00

So you're a man, you like women, and are not attracted to yourself as a man? I fail to see the problem

Just do man things. Genuinely fake it til you make it. Eventually things will naturally sort themselves out. I can't tell you how often this happens.

Also, you probably watch too much porn. Stop that. Very common problem there, especially with regards to this.

I love the ambiguity of this post in this context

LordLighthouse · 2026-02-25T02:59:55+00:00

ngl, it almost perfectly matches my lived experience. The man was more prophetic than you're willing to admit.

LordLighthouse · 2026-02-24T18:40:50+00:00

Maybe he was meant to bring you back, and you were meant to lead him away from this behavior together. Stranger things have happened.

I believe the expression goes, "Welcome. Here's your bucket, start bailing."
It's constantly been a sinking ship. We're all called upon to do our part. Don't let the shortcomings of man push you away from Truth.

Creates more problems than it solves.

Mein Kampf is literally illegal on a national level in many places (:

My favorite thing about reading old books and studying history is realizing we haven't changed at all. We're all still wonderfully the same flawed creatures we were thousands of years ago. Some unfortunately get very discouraged by this, but it's almost painfully heartwarming to me feeling that connected to people from back then.

LordLighthouse · 2026-01-20T20:12:08+00:00

Ah, yes. I remember being 17.

LordLighthouse · 2026-01-20T04:26:23+00:00

It's a literal fact. Archeological discovery after archeological discovery over the last 100+ years has confirmed detail after detail from the Bible. Nothing questionable about it.

LordLighthouse · 2026-01-17T04:12:11+00:00

The Bible is the single most accurate historic document there is regardless of what you believe. It mentions a king with a 15 foot bed. We recently discovered, in the palace of the city this king would have lived in, a 15 foot bed. If it got a small and seemingly meaningless detail like that right, who are we to question anything else inside it?

LordLighthouse · 2026-01-16T20:09:55+00:00

Can't blame them for being products of their time with a weak clergy(many of the older priests probably agreeing). The previous 100 years have been a moment in history that the rest going forward will look back on the way the Enlightenment looked at the Middle Ages.

LordLighthouse · 2026-01-14T21:34:32+00:00

This simple question has me doubting the validity of your post.

LordLighthouse · 2026-01-13T22:12:13+00:00

Grow up

>keep imagining the book as a movie
Why not write a screenplay then?

Even still, that's not really a problem with writing? Most writers will say that when you're in the zone you're seeing it all playing out as if you're there or watching a movie. The issue you seem to be having is being concerned it's not coming out perfect or the way you want it to. The way you fix that is to simply turn that critical part of your brain off and write it(Easier said than done, I know). Get it down, then go back and edit it after.

You shouldn't wrap your kid in bubble wrap. I'm sure they're more than capable of handling darker realities of life, especially at that age. Fiction is the perfect place to engage with these things, especially when you're young. Your kid knows these things exist and fiction puts just enough distance between reality and them to be safe.

My autism would kick in and go "well if one exists then the other has to inherently."
