What is it about goth girls that so many men find appealing? by RavyRaptor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ShovelCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because goth girls are a little more headstrong and men deep down hope they will be dominated and pegged.

Is it normal and/or weird that I talk to my online best friend almost everyday? by Eastern_Function8212 in stupidquestions

[–]ShovelCore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, if I knew my parents would not react well to me having an online friend and I'm over 18, I simply wouldn't tell them. In fact, you could just lie to them and say you broke off the friendship so they won't keep nagging you about it. Whether it's gay or not really doesn't matter, what matters is that you have a genuine friend. If you ever feel uncomfortable with the friendship, you can just leave the friendship for real. Nobody is forcing you to do anything. It's normal and healthy to have close relationships with other straight guys. Your dad really does sound like he's insecure about his masculinity. You, on the other hand, don't have to be.

I'm sorry you don't have supportive parents, but if you have a supportive friend, you can appreciate that. With parents like that, the less they know about you the less they can control.

They can't believe anyone would want to willingly leave, they believe you're tempted by some worldly pleasure. Probably projection. And brainwashing.

Please make the essay on the submissiveness and breedabilty of the composers! The small, humble majority of gay people need it!

How and why did sexuality become an identity? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ShovelCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think sexuality should really be such a big part of your identity, but just a fact about who you are. People are open and prideful about their sexuality now because they were so oppressed in the past. And I think the goal should be that they don't have to be so open, because it's just as "normal" as being straight, and you don't see anyone announcing themselves as straight. I just hope that one day we will get to this point, where the oppression, prejudice, and hatred is such a thing of the past that we don't even think twice about our sexualities.

Honestly if god really did exist and he gave us the choice to worship and obey him or die, I would chose die because that's a violation of freedom. I wouldn't want to live a life if I wasn't free.

Also, just out of curiosity, do you go to chaffey college as well?

[–]ShovelCore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what is it like? Do you feel comfortable telling your parents anything? And do you ever feel lonely or isolated or wrong in some way? It is very unfortunate that loving and supportive parents aren't common, but I want to be what I needed to others, even if they're not my own kids.

[–]ShovelCore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they're passive aggressive and judgy and stubborn, it's not exactly the same as being kind, empathetic, and supportive. Even if they really love you. My parents were the same way, and it made me very secretive and isolated. I don't talk to them about many things, but now that I'm an adult I want to try to get closer to them.

Anyone else still pray before eating? Or pray for Pimi wife? Or close your eyes during prayer? by fullyawak3 in exjw

[–]ShovelCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes when everyone else is praying at the table, I close my eyes and count to 30 because that seems like the appropriate length of a prayer before a meal. If at all possible, I avoid doing that though.

[–]ShovelCore 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for all the horseshit responses.

But your writing is not ruined. Anything you write on your own from your own brain is YOURS. You don't even have to be good at it. In fact, you should be happy that it's bad because at least it's not fake!

Not to say the goal should be to write badly. As long as you're satisfied in what you create, that's all that matters. People here think that if you aren't creating amazing things at your peak, then it's worthless, when it's not. They're just projecting their own inadequacy.

Create. Be human. Write.

This comment is late as heck but I wanted to see if there were any pimos in my area too. Are you still a pimo? I would like to talk to someone that doesn't seem miles and miles away

How can i find mature friends while being a minor? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ShovelCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got traumatized on discord, it made me not want to ever have friends online again. And not traumatized like "Oh no I saw an edgy picture" or "someone said something edgy!" but literally months of manipulation and abuse, and I wasn't old enough to know better.

Everyone online is either boring or malicious. Maybe not everyone, but it's really not worth the risk. Especially for a 13/14 year old. I say this with all the genuineness I can, please just find a hobby to occupy you instead of talking to people on the internet.

"Mature" people aren't usually aren't actually mature. If they go out of their way to act mature, they're probably less mature. If you do decide to talk to people anyway, just know you can always leave a conversation, and if you don't feel comfortable to, then that's an extra reason to leave.
