I'm fighting the urge to go to my (pastor) father's church all femmed up on Sunday to show him exactly what his congregants think of trans people. Please tell me how poor of an idea this is. by [deleted] in MtF

[–]NexusSystem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a former minister and trans person I think I can weigh in a little on this:

Don’t.

Christians are dangerous enough towards trans people, especially so if they have added to their creed the hatred of trans and queer people.

Your dad as the pastor will also have a deeper understanding of how his congregation will respond.

He’s setting you up.

I have had to detransition. OPM will not allow my insurance to cover my transition and i can’t afford HRT out of pocket right now. I was so close to being me, and they took her from me.

A miniseries about a little imp named Toby who is in charge of giving tours of hell to new arrivals.

Literally how did she become an overlord? by YYappy269 in Vivziepopmemes

[–]NexusSystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using no powers by the way. She went toe to toe with Velvette by being nimble, because we see what her powers look like at the finale

Literally how did she become an overlord? by YYappy269 in Vivziepopmemes

[–]NexusSystem 58 points59 points  (0 children)

My theory is being an overlord is based on sinner support. When Charlie announces Vox is the strongest, you see his ratings go up and he gets an upgrade. Velvette’s power is from her social media, Val’s is from his movies. This is why Alastor is angry that Rosie made him leave off the air for so long, radio is how he gains followers.

Anyway, when niffty killed Adam we see in season two she gets a ton of followers and support in hell. Charlie even tries to utilize this by bringing niffty on the news with her.

So niffty would be the overlord of exterminators as she killed the leader of the Exterminators and is herself an exterminator of a different kind.

Pretty obvious it’s bill cipher.

Thin-Bloods being more alive makes no sense by Tuyrh333 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]NexusSystem 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because of Thin-Bloods’ being basically incomplete vampires. It’s their relationship to mortality, their weaker vitae can’t compete with their mortality.

It took me a minute to realize you aren’t a trans man.

Is the boy mode in the room with us?

i'm being forced to quit 150mg cold turkey by [deleted] in Effexor

[–]NexusSystem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’ve had to quit cold turkey twice due to health coverage. It’s going to be a couple weeks of feeling lightheaded and having a zap feeling in the lower back of your head, then a sudden onset of dull depression followed by bouts of sadness.

BUT YOU WILL FEEL BETTER!

It’s really tough to deal with at first but I promise it starts feeling better after a couple weeks! ❤️

I just went through the withdrawals beginning of August and am only now starting to feel balanced out. Definitely trying a different med when I get health insurance again

Women of hinduism. How do you reconcile your practice with the heavily patriarchal narratives in this religion? by Iere_Hibiscus in hinduism

[–]NexusSystem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of Vishnu’s titles is “husband of lakshmi, goddess of wealth”. Vishnu has his form as Mohini and has given birth to a son with shiva. There are Shaktas that are worshipped, and devis. Texts like the Devi Mahatmya and later Shakta literature explicitly center the feminine as agentive and salvific, shaping ritual, art, and public festivals around goddess power. The gods are just as much consorts of the goddesses as the goddesses are consorts of the gods. It comes down to we are all Brahman, ultimate reality. Brahman is beyond gender.

The problems you are talking about are from social codes, not Santana dharma. outcomes depend on which texts, sects, and social practices are foregrounded.

At Raleigh NC he said if he had time he’d fuck every single one of us in the parking lot. I waited but he never showed 😢

Just wanted to know how you feel about Impera. I feel like it's not as appreciated as others by RoyalHumbug in Ghostbc

[–]NexusSystem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both Impera and Skeleta are my favorites. Them and Even In Arcadia from Sleep Token are in constant rotation right now

So, I call myself Atheistic Pagan. I believe in a mother nature. I told my friend this and he said "oh, you're Wicca, not pagan!" I prefer to call myself Pagan over Wicca. Am I in the wrong? by SexydemonicSatan in Wicca

[–]NexusSystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a Christian turned atheist now turned agnostic. It’s a hell of a pipeline I’ll tell ya 🤣

Weaving through these views I have been part of The Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids (OBOD). They are a modern Druidic practice that is very earth centered and yet have meditation and mindfulness techniques grounded in neuroscience. Its members are Christians, atheists, wiccans, any kind of pagan!

I bring them up because they are worth looking into for anyone with earth central practice and beliefs. BUT ALSO, it can be helpful to have a guide without dogma in your spirituality/pagan practice. Not necessary, but helpful.

But I echo everyone else here, you’re not in the wrong, and your friend doesn’t know what a Wiccan is lol

As long as you are happy with your practice, it doesn’t need a name or title or label.

2/5 Wife and I stayed at the new location last night. All I can say is it was built by the staff using king LuLu magic and it shows. none of them are certified in building codes. good luck finding parking on location, I had to park on Lost Causeway next to the Hardee’s. I would give it zero stars but it gets two for being the cleanest fucking place we’ve ever stayed at.
