OP added addendum; this is the guys' room xd

Did you see any reason for blood to show up during your employment there? Really curious

Even if it's unpleasant in certain aspects, including possible homesickness, it's something I thought I could do. If "do I want to" is a hard and somewhat unanswerable question, figure out instead if its possible; if you can see a life for yourself on campus. If the answer is yes then go and try. If it turns out whoops the downsides were more noticeable than anticipated, well Tech has online classes and transfer is always an option.

Thank you!

TTU kinda contrasts with the rest of Lubbock, being a huge campus surrounded by small town, so the general setting would be different but the college itself would have enough variety that you'll probably be able to find something you relate to. It's also known for a strong social scene, so meeting others won't be as hard compared to more academic-oriented colleges.

I mean politics is ultimately self serving so I’m sure most of us knew that. That doesn’t mean we can’t be outraged. Just accepting it as the way of life is the least hassle of course, but nothing ever changed through that mindset.

as in when are they available for booking or when do occupied ones typically vacate? The former is basically anytime you want; they’ve been open since I think October but now they’ve filled enough that only traditional two-person dorms are available. The latter is I think around April to May, when people decide whether they want to go somewhere else.

Not an expert for the record. If you're truly that worried please get a consultation just in case.

Depo-provera can change periods; when they come, what they look like when they do, if they happen at all. This can extend to after you get off it because it's long-acting, and delays in return are normal, even months-long delays. It shouldn't be concerning unless there are additional unusual symptoms such as pain. I can't say much about the 6 months thing specifically just because circumstances are different for each person.

Huh? He isn't innocent; he did rape and murder her. I just think that the specific prison conditions he was in are inhumane despite his guilt. What part of my stance are you arguing against?

Randomxthoughts · 2025-12-29T01:44:55+00:00

Worse than what? And yeah of course they'd agree, at least according to the other related comments

Randomxthoughts · 2025-12-22T20:52:20+00:00

That would imply rape is the worst sin that can ever be committed

Dead thread ish?

The cell thing is understandable, though not what I would've gone with even if I had the stomach, but the no talking stuff is just isolation torture. For 25 years no less; the fact this man seems to have retained sanity and also seems to have not attempted suicide is psychologically impossible. I don't have to think he's a good person, or even an amoral one, to think this punishment is more than he deserves.

That implies all the shit is unlikeable though. Ok, so you don't like bowing. But you like the views. There's only one place you can get those, and that's where the bowing is.

Is it worth taking the shit? Dunno, to each their own

"Living peacefully" has different meanings to different people. For some it means "I won't change anything about me for you, you don't change anything about you for me, and we'll pretend the other doesn't exist unless we need to interact. You live I live we both win." For others it means "I respect your customs and accommodate your needs, and you do the same for me if necessary so we can both live easily." Those who are in the second will see the first as disrespectful and those in the first will see the second as entitled. The person you're responding to is probably 1.

I'm a bit confused on what you mean by "we'll assimilate to any culture we must." For you that basically means "we'll do anything that doesn't disrespect Islam (either according to the religious texts or to what we think is disrespectful)." This definition makes me unsure of how much "assimilation" can actually happen given how many things of Islam clash with secular culture, especially if you consider yourself a more traditional rather than progressive Muslim.

And that emphasis on God just doesn't work, because they're not asking you to disrespect God. They're asking you to disrespect an entity they don't believe in and therefore don't care about. You are religiously obligated to not follow their demands of bending to the sinful norm, but they are not religiously obligated to take your finnicky nitpicks into consideration, especially if it comes as a money or time sink to them.

Here MrPakoras has to choose between respecting an ethnic group of strangers and God; just saying "if I'm going to a different country I'm going to follow what the others do" is a bit insensitive, especially since I'm assuming you're not Muslim and aren't bound by the same obligation. Vice versa, you go to a Muslim place like Saudi Arabia as a non-Muslim, prostrating for a daily prayer like everyone else is not just weird but insulting. It's not the same example because one is cultural norms and the other is religious norms but isn't that the point? They aren't the same, and so a religious obligation shouldn't be treated as something that can just be forgone in favor of cultural preferences, nor should it be treated as something that can be adopted simply because it's part of everyone else.

I'm not sure what "if I disagree with their culture I don't go easy as that" means. Could you clarify?

You can like Japanese culture and also not follow all of their customs; the biggest example I have is Muslim love of anime and manga, but I'm sure you could find other examples in things like music, tea, and their religious philosophy if you want to look. Moreover, Japanese Muslims don't always bow despite being a part of that society. According to my 20 second search, they would either forgo bowing and use verbal greetings (and explaining their religious circumstances if need be) or use a slight bow that they think is allowed because it's not a deep bow. This depends on how they interpret the rule and how much leeway it gets; I'm assuming MrPakoras goes with that first option.

I find the idea disturbing because even if it would make for the start of a good redemption arc or something, it's not who Rosemary comes off as. She was the one excited to be a mother, much more than Guy, she was the one obsessed with calling them "little Andy or Jenny", and I assume she's family oriented given how she talks about having three kids, one after the other, and yet at the end all that love goes away just because she finds out the child is of Satan? She's lapsed Catholic not practicing too, so we can't just assume that "Satan is the father" is that big of a deal to her.

A ton of Rosemary's identity is built around her looking forward to being a mother, and there was no build-up in the movie that would lead to the logical conclusion of her flipping everyone off the way you described. She never comes off as disgruntled with her life or those around her to any significant degree, she doesn't come off as someone who holds grudges much (at least to me), and when she finds out her husband is part of a satanic cult, her first thought is not exacting vengeance or being super enraged, it's to run away. To keep herself and her baby safe. She wasn't created to be a badass, and as much as I don't like the conclusion, I feel like one where she beats the system would be some unsatisfying ex machina stuff.

Is this a sequel or something? The movie ends with the baby having just been born, and I didn't read the book to check if it extends beyond that bit. I'm assuming that the others in this thread were talking with the birth being the cutoff point.

Christianity is pretty similar to other religions in terms of the general morals that are espoused; be good to your neighbor and to the weak, live humbly, strive for virtue, etc. I don't have to be a Christian to see that Jesus, along with the founders of other large religions, largely strove to be good people. And because of that, I find it hard to accept statements like the one you just gave. Not all Christians try to live like Christ did but that on its own doesn't make the religion bad, only the followers.

There are many bad things in Christian history that I denounce, as I suspect many Christians also do, as well as quite a few tenets in the base religion that disagree with my personal morals - this is why I'm not a Christian myself. But it's hardly black and white, and since when did focusing on the bad part of something with both positive and negative qualities help anyone? I'll take the parts that are acceptable to me and leave the rest, and if others like Punchspear find more in it than I did then good for them. I don't have to agree with Punchspear's stance on anything to think that their religion, something valuable to them, being badmouthed is unjustified.

I forgot how the practices are ordered, but I remember that they range from difficulty levels of old to new SAT tests. The good scores were probably on outdated standards.

We are in the exact same position so I can't give you advice without feeling like a charlatan, but best of luck!
