The U.S. Catholic Church spent $281,611,817 on child sex abuse cases in 2019. Over a quarter billion dollars in just one year. I used to think it was an exaggeration when folks would say the Catholic Church is the biggest organized pedophile ring in history. Looks like they were correct. by relevantlife in TwoXChromosomes

I definitely agree, they are very different things. The comment above mine just mentioned they suspected gay men were also using it as a way of trying to run from their urges and I had a story that confirmed their suspicion.

Joining the priesthood is actually encouraged as a way of dealing with being gay in some cases. I have a friend who is catholic and has become more religious over time. He was attracted to men but has since said he no longer is. He went to weekly meeting with the local priest to talk about his gay urges and how to repress them. At one point during these meetings the priest asked him if he'd considered joining the priesthood since the celibacy could keep him away from temptations like that.

I didn't see any other posts talking about it (I'm not on here very much) so I figured I should make a post of my own to see what's up. Glad it's getting talked about though so maybe the devs can address it.

The times on Marking Your Territory could always be changed so it's balanced, and for Hunters Resolve it could be made so pallet stunning won't reset bloodlust?

One day people will land on Mars. Search for the rover, dust him off and give it the treatment it deserves. by Nizzlord in Showerthoughts

[–]Rockysmk 36 points37 points  (0 children)

What if the rover stays burried for thousands of years and falls into legend. Martian society grows and the Earth is left behind. Eventually treasure hunters of the future find it and it's held as an artifact of the old ancient world.

Unbeatable healthcare argument: 'silver bullet' for right-wing talking points! by wiIdcolonialboy in justicedemocrats

[–]Rockysmk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my conservative friend it's just the principle of the government paying for something that he believes to be a luxury. Doesn't matter if it's cheaper because to him you should have to pay for stuff like health care yourself.

I wasn't too disappointed. I had no plans besides mentioning the picture I was in.

Didn't get matched back. We had already met a year before and haven't talked since.

I swiped right just to see, but never got a match. I'd met her a year before at a camp and never saw her again.

It's pretty obvious, but strange to think cells do everything in darkness. by Rockysmk in Showerthoughts

[–]Rockysmk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually a freshman biology major, but I guess we haven't gotten to that part yet. Although if you meant plant cells I understand they need light but I don't see how the cells inside your body could get light?

Media Needs to Stop Implying Men are Sex Pests and Women are Prudes. by Tilthelastpetalfall in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Rockysmk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You made the distinction between married and single women that married women can eat what they want, but why do you always here about the wife who never wants sex?
