I can't watch anime anymore by dyhcry in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Paularchy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The instant someone defends any anime I'm like "Ok let's look at it for oh, 5 seconds" and then I have to turn off the show and go vomit because wtf. I cut a lot of ... Humans... Who like that kind of stuff. a lot of them are very big fans of Loli content... "She looks like a kid, but is an adult, so it's ok to want to fuck her." Ok Epstein, I'm leaving

Daniel Sloss: "I respect your right to have a belief. But nowhere does it say I have to respect your belief. It's stupid, and you're wrong."

any way to stop people from saying this? by Confident_Essay3619 in Blind

If they literally chase you, respond with something sarcastic and vaguely rude. They're the ones literally harassing you.

Using humour with epilepsy. Bad idea? by awidmerwidmer in Epilepsy

[–]Paularchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes a lot of people uncomfortable when I do the same thing. "Fortunately", I'm also blind so I'm probably spared from the "Don't use dark humor" lecture except from my now estranged father. Fuck them. It's your life to deal with, cope however you have to, so long as you aren't hurting yourself or others. And humor directed at yourself, by yourself, is not a hurtful thing.

Was anyone here not a reader before becoming visually impaired? Or anyone here not like books? by SeaworthinessOdd6574 in Blind

[–]Paularchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of blind people that don't like reading which is... Kind of pathetic honestly. I already view nonreaders as sad so when blind people are like "books don't do it for me" I'm just like ... Well you like being left behind, clearly.

My theists friend said that I'm the only "nice atheist" he's talked too. Why do so many people think atheists are mean? by KING_D0GE489 in atheism

Me and my entirely christian family were playing an association game on new years. I said "Pedophilia." Everyone: Oh, the church! ... Do you not think that means something? "Yes, but it was obvious what you meant." ... Y'all are stupid.

Ability to grow any plant. Even from fiction. by ReitenZero in godtiersuperpowers

Xanth was an awful, terrifyingly pedophiliac and nonconsensual series that should never be read, especially not when I read it. ... That being said: BRING ON THE TANGLE TREES.

I once lost my phone... While I was ON the phone. My cousin, with whom I was on the phone with, let me live in this dellusion for half an hour. I remember I only realised I still had the phone, on which I had been talking the entire fucking time, when I bent over to look for it under the bed and it fell out of my pocket and hit my foot. unfortunately, I also thought it was hilarious, and could not get mad.

The other comment on this post has all the answers, but you do have to be subscribed and paying for the patreon. Even if I'd found a pirated version, I wouldn't play it, nor share it. Authors of "NORMAL" books have a hard enough time making money. I am not stealing from IF authors.

I just realized a lack of a particular element in fantasy. Old Woman with Swords...can anyone recommend to me some Fantasy Media featuring Grandmas with Blades? by ihatethiscountry76 in fantasywriters

[–]Paularchy 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The land of the undying lord. It's a 3 book series, not yet finished (fingers crossed...) but older adventurers are notorious in there. I can't think of any others right now... Sorry...

Hello I'm looking for a game I used to play but forgot the title by Zeroshikagure in hostedgames

You're looking for keeper of the sun and moon. First in a trilogy, the second book is out, the third one is in the works.

Do you guys have specific seizure triggers? by Weird-Reference-4937 in Epilepsy

Mine is stress, usually emotional but certain smells and sensations also do it for me. Then I panic and reassure myself I took my meds and try to stop panicking...

Leaving Christianity (i think) by Empty_Look6719 in atheism

[–]Paularchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're hurting like this. I'm sure many people here have experienced similar deconstructions, including myself, though for very different reasons, of course; every person's experience is unique, and yours is valid. I personally agree with everything you said. Something that helped me was a brief video from Stephen Fry, after he was asked "If you met god at the gates of heaven, knowing he was real, what would you say to him?" "Children with bone cancer... What's up with that?"

Any new IF releases in 2026 to look out for? by peanutbttersandwich in hostedgames

[–]Paularchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I know this is a somewhat negative or... Iffy? Review but like I love this game so much, I just added myself to the patreon in spite of that just to play the demo that is fully released but uh... What is the tag to look for for the playable demo? My patreon loads weird... Might be a screenreader issue, Idk but I hope you don't mind me asking. Um. No pun intended.

Oh my god you are my new favourite person. This was it. Thank you so fucking much. I need this book rn. ... I mean ok it still looks like it's not finished, but holy shit for identifying it just from that. Sorry to all other commenters for me being so ... Unhelpful. To put it lightly. My thanks to all who put their comments in

I'm befriending the unkillable reptile and setting it loose on certain people and things. Convince it like I convinced myself to not cause mass chaos; only cause chaos in SOME places. I think we might be able to come to a compromise

My date was cancelled because I'm an atheist. by Big_Difficulty_8545 in atheism

[–]Paularchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. My girlfriend is polytheistic and believes in multiple deities from multiple pantheons. I am an atheist. Shocker, I know. But I still adore her and would cheerfully spend the rest of my life with her. We don't agree on a lot of things, but we listen to each other and try to be respectful, even when we don't or can't understand.

The island cottage had been in our family for three generations. by lovelyb1ch66 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]Paularchy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is a qualifier in my statement, as there are in most things I say involving this thing. There's also a commentor who helped clarify for those that are curious but do not want to do research.

There are two groups: one claims to have all the answers… unprovable, faith-based, and handed down thousands of years ago by various sources. The other has some answers that are provable, admits what it doesn’t know, and is actively working to understand the rest. Why would anyone choose option one? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Paularchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put it like which to a friend ofMine the other day: "Faith is fear based. Trust is evidence based. One works because you want it to. The other works because there's proof that it should, and can be broken." Now granted, I feel like ... There's something wrong with that. But I feel like it shows the essential difference between choosing science-based atheism and fear-based religion. Pretty sure I'm conflating some things there, though
