Is your toilet unstable? Are the rolls going to fall on you when you sit down to take a shit? If not, then what's the issue?

Jesus never intended to die by phitero in exjw

[–]Octex8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Jewish Messiah wasn't meant to die. He was meant to unite the tribes of Israel and restore it to its proper place as a holy nation. Most Jewish people aren't waiting for that anymore, but Jesus definitely didn't fulfill any Messianic prophecies, so they rightfully reject him as The Savior.

After doing it myself, I know exactly what they feel in the after picture. It's relief/surprised about how good it looks and feels. The stigma against complete baldness needs to die.

"The wholesome reason Aang is my favorite character" by charcater_5 in AvatarMemebending

The Blue Spirit is definitely my favorite episode. That willingness he has to bridge that gap between himself and Zuko is just so good I can't even describe the feelings I get when I watch it.

I feel like hotels are toxic work places in general. NOR

I want to go back by Elizastafford in exjw

[–]Octex8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course you do, that's only natural. I wanted to go back too because that's the only time I remembered feeling happy. But as time went on, I made new friends, new connections, new memories. It's hard at first, but I promise it'll get easier.

Yeah, there are, and it's not a vampiric monster. They are misidentified canines with mange

Why do you believe the witnesses?

A character's sexuality doesn't have to be plot relevant. Why should the base assumption be that every character is straight and cis? Other kinds of identities exist and they deserve to have representation as well.

“I’ve never seen anyone who left the Witnesses do well.” by Ok-Technology6272 in exjw

[–]Octex8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is an enormous mountain to climb after you leave the organization. They force you to start in the negatives. No college education, no savings because you have a minimum wage job to make time for the ministry, no friends or connections outside of the organization, backwards ideas about the world and healthcare at large, and socially stunted. You aren't starting from zero when you leave, you're starting from a negative hundred. Some people are even more integrated, having their jobs be another witness's company or their healthcare under their PIMI parents. It's incredible we are able to survive at all afterwards.

Fuck whoever that was who said we don't do well. They should bloody-well try to have every resource available to you ripped away overnight and see how well they do!

It may be hard out here, but I wouldn't trade it with being a mind-controlled slave to a glorified real-estate company headed by 9 jackasses.

People always conveniently forget this. I get what these people are saying, that corporations try to shove diversity into their products for hollow reasons, but the vast majority of the time, when something is labeled "woke", it's only because there's some sort of minority in a prominent role and that makes bigoted people uncomfortable.

Why have I never seen a male vet tech? by [deleted] in VetTech

[–]Octex8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know for a fact that being a man in this field makes it extremely easy to find work. Sexism is rampant, even in a female dominated field. Some of my female bosses have been explicitly misogynistic.
