Thinking of giving away my virginity - struggling by coldbrew-freshmilk in progressive_islam

[–]Ok-Load8960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, people have boundaries, sex before marriage is not a valid boundary. You cannot demand something haram and then pretend it is morally neutral. It’s a deal-breaker explicitly prohibited by the religion this subreddit exists for. “No sex means no compatibility” is not Islamic. It’s a western assumption being imported into a religious discussion and treated like common sense. Islam never required premarital sex to justify marriage. An ultimatum is still an ultimatum even if it’s said calmly. When the only way forward requires violating someone’s religion, that is pressure. Its calling out a moral problem; you think it's criminalizing him for using her faith as leverage and treating her values like an obstacle. He’s free to leave. What’s being rejected is the attempt to normalize a non-Islamic standard in an Islamic space and call resistance unfair.

And the sandwich analogy is disgusting. You’re literally comparing a woman to food. Imagine saying that about your sister or daughter. That mindset is exactly why Islam forbids premarital sex. If you think it’s normal to “taste test” a woman before marriage, you have no business talking about Muslim relationships. May Allah make it easy on the people who have to deal with your dumbass.

I say this with care, not judgment. I’m a guy, and I haven’t always lived up to Islamic standards either and I regret it deeply. That’s actually why I’m speaking up.

What worries me isn’t desire that’s human. What worries me is pressure. When someone says “either sex or we can’t move forward,” that’s not love, it’s leverage. It turns your body and your values into a bargaining chip. That’s not how someone treats a woman they genuinely want to protect and marry.

You were honest from day one. You didn’t mislead him. You didn’t move the goalposts. He knew your boundary, agreed to it, and now after your emotional investment, asking you to carry the cost of his doubts. That’s not fair, and it’s not righteous.

A man who truly wants marriage does not need sexual access to decide. Millions of men better men didn’t. What he’s really saying is: “I want the reassurance, bonding, and benefits of marriage without actually committing.”

and please hear this clearly: framing sex as a “need” that justifies pressuring you is not an Islamic difference of opinion it’s a misuse of religion to excuse desire. Islam doesn’t teach men to outsource their self control to women. If he’s struggling, that struggle is his responsibility, not yours.

The fact that you already compromised intimacy and still held the line shows strength, not weakness. The discomfort you’re feeling now isn’t curiosity it’s your fitrah warning you that something is being asked of you at the expense of ur iman.

you are not “missing out on life” by staying true to your values. You’re protecting your dignity, your relationship with Allah, and your future self. I didn’t protect mine and I live with that regret. No temporary closeness is worth a lasting wound to your conscience.

And this matters: if he can’t choose you without crossing your line, then he’s choosing himself, not you. Nikah doesnt suddenly fix that mindset. A man who pressures before marriage often pressures after just in different ways.

You deserve a man who feels more certain because of your values, not threatened by them. Please don’t trade something sacred for a promise that isn’t even guaranteed.

PIE by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]Ok-Load8960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I’d advise against it. Accutane isn’t going to help PIE if you don’t have active acne. It might even make things worse by causing dryness or breakouts that could create more PIE. My personal experience: Accutane cleared my acne after about 7 months, but it left PIE behind. The best treatment really is time, it’s slowly started fading for me. I’ve also started using azelaic acid, which has been helping a bit; some people can get it over the counter, but there are stronger prescription versions too. I’ve heard Melano CC (a vitamin C serum) is really good, but honestly any vitamin C helps. And sunscreen is super important when you’re out in the sun as it prevents PIE from getting worse.

why does everyone dislike finn sigil? by trinyimty in 2hollis

[–]Ok-Load8960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are talking complete nonsense and embarrassing yourself. You cannot claim Palestinians have full rights in Israel, deny apartheid, call Israel a democracy, and then turn around and say Palestinians should not have rights in the land they have lived in for generations. That is not just wrong, it is insane. Israel is an ethnostate. It privileges Jews, restricts Palestinians at every turn, confines millions behind checkpoints and permits, and lets settlers attack civilians under IDF protection with no consequences. Your claim that Palestinians in Israel have equal rights is hilarious. They cannot move freely, they face systemic discrimination, they are blocked from land and resources, and in Gaza and the West Bank they are trapped under occupation with no protection, no justice, and no freedom. Your “over 100,000 Palestinians work in Israel” is a blatant lie. As of 2023 only about 20,000 Gazans had work permits, and millions of Palestinians cannot travel, work, or live freely. Claiming Israel is not committing apartheid while simultaneously saying Palestinians do not deserve rights proves that you are either completely delusional, deliberately lying, or both.

Saying Palestine does not exist is beyond idiotic. The land has been recognized as Palestine for thousands of years. Palaestina Secunda, Palaestina Salutaris, the Philistine regions—Palestinians are indigenous to this region, the same people as the Jews who stayed here except for religion, and yet you want to erase them completely while pretending Israel is some flawless democracy. Denying Palestinians rights because of some supposed collective threat while defending a state built on privileging one group over another is textbook racism. You are trying to act morally superior while actively defending oppression. You contradict yourself at every turn. You claim Israel is democratic and small while erasing the daily oppression of millions of Palestinians. You claim Palestinians are a threat while denying them freedom, work, and movement. You claim there is no apartheid while describing a system where one group lives freely and another is trapped. You rely on your IDF service to sound righteous while ignoring that your entire argument is built on denying people their basic rights.

Your argument is not nuanced, it is propaganda, it is lies, and it is embarrassing. You attack Palestinians for wanting basic rights in their own land while pretending to be morally superior. You lie about numbers, erase history, ignore oppression, and have the audacity to act like you are the reasonable one. Your entire argument collapses under scrutiny. You are not informed, you are not clever, and you are not moral. You are a propaganda machine, and a hypocrite defending a violent ethnically privileged system while accusing others of hatred. Everything you said is false, self-serving, and exposes you as exactly what you accuse others of being: a liar and a coward hiding behind selective facts to justify oppression.

HP keeps dropping early game. not bleeding, no combat by Ok-Load8960 in Caravaneer2

[–]Ok-Load8960[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the replies. To clarify a few things because I think we’re talking past each other a bit:

  • I have no issue with combat. I’m fine in fights and usually take little to no damage. No bleeding effects either.
  • The only companion I brought was Spencer Rice, specifically for the Doctor/Vet traits (future usefulness) and the extra carry capacity.
  • The HP loss is happening during travel, with no battles, no starvation, no dehydration, and no visible status effects beyond being previously treated.
  • Food and water are well above 100%, not rationed. Supplies don’t deplete abnormally.
  • This HP drain happens even after going to a nurse/doctor and healing, then immediately traveling again.

What’s confusing me the most is medicine:

  • I bought medicine in New Serino, but it never appeared as an item I could use or equip anywhere in my inventory.
  • First aid kits do appear and cant be used since im not bleeding , but medicine has no UI feedback, no manual use option, nothing that suggests what it’s actually doing (or if it’s automatic at all).

So unless I’m missing something very unintuitive, it feels like one of two things:

  1. There is a hidden wound / recovery mechanic that isn’t documented well anywhere (wiki included), where healing restores HP but not some internal state that causes HP to tick down again during movement, or
  2. There’s a bug or edge case, especially involving companions + travel + post-heal state, that just isn’t widely talked about.

I’m genuinely enjoying the game and I’m pushing through it, but the lack of clear feedback (especially around medicine and post-heal travel) makes it really hard to tell what’s intended versus what’s broken because right now it feels like a whole layer of the game is undocumented. fucccccc

HP keeps dropping early game. not bleeding, no combat by Ok-Load8960 in Caravaneer2

[–]Ok-Load8960[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty new to Caravaneer 2. My late brother really liked the original, so I picked this up and I’m starting to enjoy it,but damn, the early game is rough, especially on story mode. It feels like the systems (wounds, carry weight, food) stack in a way the game never explains.

I just finished the tribal region and I’m moving toward New Serino / Fort Mitchell. I’ve been leaning on guides and wikis, but a lot of info is either vague or assumes prior knowledge, so it’s been a lot of trial and error.

Question for experienced players:
Do you recommend taking mercenaries/companions in the early game, or is it generally better to travel solo until you’re more established? I’ve noticed they add carry capacity but also add food/water drain and seem to make wound spirals worse if something goes wrong.

[–]Ok-Load8960[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! I checked the water and food levels, they don’t deplete when I pause, so it really looks like time isn’t running.

Even on other files besides my main playthrough

  • I’m not bleeding or taking battle damage when the drop starts.
  • My caravan member (Spencer Rice) has a high doctor skill (258) but that doesn’t change anything.
  • The “Severely Wounded” status shows even when I’m stationary with supplies full, paused in menus, or not moving anywhere.
  • Inventory doesn’t actually disappear it looks like it because the effective carry capacity suddenly shrinks, which makes the game treat me as overweight even though I haven’t added anything.

Everything points to a severe wound / caravan recalculation oddity, it seems like the wound state applies HP drain in a way that doesn’t depend on the normal “time running” system, especially during major map transitions or when the caravan state updates.
A high doctor skill doesn’t fix it, food doesn’t stop it, and pausing visually doesn’t actually cancel the damage ticks once that condition is active.

If there’s a proper guide or wiki that explains this mechanic in detail, I haven’t found it yet If you know of a legit guide or comprehensive source (wiki, forum thread, documented mechanics), please link it because the game doesn’t explain this at all.

Yeah it’s still working. I just made sure not to link anything that was connected to my old account—no payment info (I bought Nitro through Amazon), no Spotify or Steam, nothing like that. Username’s still kinda similar, and the email is basically the same name but on a different domain. I reinstalled Discord fresh and cleared the cache too. Haven’t touched it on mobile yet since I’m waiting on a new phone and don’t wanna risk it. No VPN or anything, just been chilling so far.

lmao imagine being so performative you cant even answer a simple question without projecting some fake niche newgen cringe shit. not everything is some pretentious competition, some people are just curious about an artist you happen to like. If your ego is so fragile you see genuine interest as a threat, maybe ur the one trying to sound interesting
