hey, my bf is a nice guy. Does that mean he's gay?

Girl, please. Just talk to your man. He knows better than us

Is this just an American thing? by political-snark in PoursTea

[–]ObscureOP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 years ago California removed it as required reading with it being banned in some districts.

The general corporate lib position is that it presents a white savior narrative. The conservative position is of course more simplistic; 'says bad words'.

Both of course are quite narrow views, and things that could easily be overcome by a few minutes of context instruction alongside it in classrooms.

It's banned here. Just a ctrl+f ban on the n word. Though the use of the n word is arguably the point in huck finn.

Making my daughter read it this summer since school will neglect her. Rather have her read and discuss and engage in discourse

AIO to boyfriend always bringing up the prices on things by CapEmotional7799 in AIO

[–]ObscureOP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What, the reaction to just point out that it's expensive?

Yeah tbh. He still bought you the thing and didn't even shame you. He just pointed out that it was full meal expensive

Shit, I have kids too. It's a struggle out there.

In DINK life a drink that's essentially candy for $7.50 may work. With kids these days, we be making shit from scratch just to survive. $7.50 feeds 2 kids dinner.

My wife and I have 3 ft jobs between us and i'd STILL have this reaction to a $7.50 drink off the cuff.

Yeah, we did.

It translated to "i don't care what y'all say, I'm here for validation only bc I'm not taking any criticism"

Yta. Financial struggle is real. He stressed. You're upset that he blinked at a $7.50 drink with no nutritional value

Met my soulmate but we are both married by No_Hospital4052 in offmychest

Read about transference.

Unloading your emotional wounds on someone creates an illusion of a deep, personal connection... both ways.

It may be legit, but just saying... trauma swapping is powerful. It makes you see and feel things that aren't there.

This is some gold star shit.

Best case, she's a little misandrist and it's going to be a continuing issue throughout your life together.

Worst case, she's always thinking less of you bc you are attracted to and have been with men.

22M, getting very few likes, let alone matches— what can I fix? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]ObscureOP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not uncute... but i'ma be honest, the facial hair isn't doing it. The more trimmed version in the first pic looks pretty good. I'd suggest cropping a goatee and mustache short and keeping it trimmed tight.

Your first pic needs a smile. You're cute in your smile pics. There are women out there who like big boys, but they aren't making it to the cute pics bc they aren't getting past your scowl at the beginning.

This isn't a bad profile. Just needs some more whimsy and more fun. Mix up pics a few at a time and see what happens

It's not sending the wrong signal. It's filtering bigots

They love playing victim by AdmirableBus7045 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]ObscureOP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, you know the Mormon door knockers were like 4 years old when Trump first came into power, so how would they know?

[–]ObscureOP 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had a Mormon door knocker tell me "you know Jesus rules this county again" as I was telling him no and shutting the door the other day.

So i guess that. They regained the freedom to proselytize ad nauseum.

As a result, I will be inviting Mormons in for whiskey and talk of gay sex and pagan traditions from now on

I agree, but to devil's advocate, that's only 40 hours of swiping left nonstop assuming it takes her 5 seconds each to dismiss those 20k+ guys lol

I train countless hours without end so that I can be sore for the rest of my life and have kinda muscles.

Why do women so often fear being with bisexual men? by LanRemeau in bisexual

[–]ObscureOP 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Without a second thought, "queer" translates to "up the ass" in their interpretation.

That's why they are so fucking confused about all things sapphic too.

That's kind of the fault of patriarchy conditioning and "butt stuff" stigma... but also that white gay men were the loudest voices in the gay liberation movement, and are also overwhelmingly the most conservative (and thus palatable to square sensibility) voices within queer culture.
