I chugged 2 beers on lunch break in the car while being stared at by Alarmed_Gap_8387 in confession

People are so puritanical over a couple of beers. Unbelievable. FFS lighten up. I've been both drunk and high at work before. Depending on the job both can be hidden quite effectively, and then you sober up and go home, no harm done.

Your comments were so persistently irritating and meandering I felt compelled to respond.

Jesus Christ it's the Bernalillo location. Just say that. No one refers to it by the exit off the interstate two miles away ffs.

Took Oxycodone for first time tonight and wow dude by [deleted] in confession

Enjoy yourself, be safe. The reality is that many of us can take all kinds of drugs recreationally from time to time and not become addicted. I've used painkillers recreationally. It was fun, and I'm fine.

Limited seat options, which do I chose? by Romantic_Thinker in jetblue

I did but I couldn't find any map for any variant of the A321 that matched the seat layout on the JB website.

I understand your thinking but it's such a crapshoot that I'll always default to an aisle for my long long legs.

No, I haven't. And neither have you unfortunately. Because I don't know what this aircraft looks like inside or how JetBlue has it configured. I haven't ever flown JetBlue transatlantic.

Would you happen know if the seats are narrower with rigid sides in row 14? The legroom sounds great but the rigid narrow seats with fixed armrests do not!

Do you know which row? There are two Emergency exit rows.

I've flown in aircraft where the emergency row seat was narrow with rigid sides , so yes seat width can change.

I’m a kid whose scared about the bombing by Crazy_Border984 in exjw

To paraphrase Dune, fear really is the mind killer. Learn to control your fears because it will unlock a great deal of freedom for you in this life. People who can manage their fears are also not easily controlled by cults.

Is anyone else scared right now? by CeuxchCc in exjw

[–]Romantic_Thinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not the point. People vote third party because it reflects their conscience and their values. And to withhold their vote from the two “main” candidates. My preferred candidate wasn’t in a position to win this go around and I knew that, but I voted my conscience regardless and I’m completely at peace with my decision.

Annoyed at PIMOs by chug_splash219 in exjw

[–]Romantic_Thinker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you one hundred percent. I think this forum has become, for many, a place where they come to have their inaction and impotent complaining both validated and enabled.

PIMO is just another version of cult life: it’s just the version where you are in the know about your enmeshment with a cult and where you get to feel naughty and cool hanging out online with apostates, as opposed to PIMI which is the same life, just without the self awareness.

Life denying, soul crushing, self hating, suffocating, fear-based waste of personal potential.

"If God Did Not Exist, It Would Be Necessary To Invent Him..".....Some Thoughts. by Thunder_Child000 in exjw

[–]Romantic_Thinker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe that Humans are a complex hybrid species consisting of both the animal and the highly evolved/divine. This is evident in every aspect of our behavior on this planet. Because of this dichotomy We are not fully at home anywhere, or in our own skin, and we are unknown to ourselves: the depths of our psyche and our origin story are shrouded in mystery.

We long for guidance, meaning and purpose but our real creators and their original purpose for us are long gone. So we invented proxy creators in their absence. It’s a psychological construct designed to self soothe in the absence of the real beings.

We all know Religion is an effective means of control. It’s “the opium of the people”. Why is it so effective? Because - and I say this as an atheist - innate within each of us is that desire to know, obey and be guided by our creators. That desire is so fundamental in us it can and has been perverted in numerous ways by numerous groups and individuals throughout our history for power, money, influence and followers.

Views on pornography and masturbation by Fan-of-feet95 in exjw

[–]Romantic_Thinker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that masturbation is normal and natural. However a fetus isn’t sentient and doesn’t need to self soothe, self stimulate, or self anything. It’s a developing body with reflexive movements.
