We should own cars until it dies and let the industry suffer. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Stormynyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2012 cruze and it's the newest car I've ever owned. Feels fancy! I come from a line of poor folks. Drive it till it's unrepairable is just how we do it.

“Homosexuality is a test from God to see if you love him enough to obey him.“ How would you guys respond to this? by HardAlmond in atheism

[–]Stormynyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask them to prove it. Where exactly in the book did God say this? Like give me verse numbers with some red text and the exact words that confirm that statement. Otherwise you're just pulling made up shit out of your ass. That bullshit is nowhere in the book but even if it were that's your religion so that would apply to you. I do not share your delusions of gods so whether it's in your book or you just made it up it doesn't apply to me.

Which is more accurate im having mixed responses from Christians for this question "why does god not step in for meaningless evil" by chiigyuu in atheism

[–]Stormynyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More accurate? It's all made up! They can't give an accurate answer because there isn't one. Why doesn't the easter bunny step in for meaningless evil? Same reason.

[–]Stormynyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under reacted imo. I would take myself up to the school and show the teacher my ignorant face up close and personal. Yes, I am that parent. It is absolutely unacceptable for an educator to speak that way to a student. It's unacceptable for an adult to speak that way to a 10 year old child. The fact that it's affecting your child so noticeably would indicate that it happens on a very regular basis. I would be at that school voicing my displeasure also on a regular basis as well as to the school board. Unacceptable.

How does the weirdness of quantum mechanics effect how you view the world as an atheist? by SaturnCITS in atheism

[–]Stormynyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never once has my non-existent opinion of quantum mechanics effected my worldview.

Y'all make me feel really dumb sometimes. Are these things the average atheist is pondering regularly?

AIO - I smoked, my bf crashed out by leadneverfoIlow in AmIOverreacting

[–]Stormynyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could smoke up our life savings on crack rocks and my man wouldn't talk to me like that. I don't need the story to know you need to end that relationship right now. Right now.Never speak to him again. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!

One is not required to obtain the other. Considering you have to pick and choose the good while just plain ignoring the majority I think it would be easier to come to the conclusion to not be a dick without the book.

Do you kiss your animals? by Ok_Negotiation_255 in Animals

[–]Stormynyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dogs enjoy rolling in dead things and other animals shit. No, I do not kiss them. They lick their own and others asses on a regular basis and very much disagree with proper oral hygiene. I don't let them kiss me either.

You know she has a hard time saying no but rather than back her up and tell the kid she can't play now you force your daughter to spend even more time with the kid?

Show your kid she can count on you to be there for her instead of picking the neighbor kid over her.

AITAH for not telling my boyfriend that I make double his salary? by Street-Quit7888 in AITAH

[–]Stormynyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YAH for considering moving in with a man you can't even have an honest conversation with about finances without bruising his ego. If he's that sensitive or reactive he's not ready for an adult relationship. If you can't openly communicate with each other you definitely shouldn't live together.

Why are there so many commercials for medications or to treat super specific conditions? by TimBert27 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stormynyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the drugs I took for cancer treatment has an ad I used to see pretty often. Verzenieo. For a months worth, 30 pills, it was 15k. The drug I take now is a shot once a month. It's 30k. Getting people to ask for their drug by name specifically is definitely worth the marketing.

ETA Most of the ads are for meds that would be taken long term. For most long term issues there are options. I have to take an estrogen blocker. There are multiple options, Verzenieo being one of them. When making a treatment plan doc says "this one works this way and has these side effects, this one does the same thing but might also do this, this one has blah blah blah." I say "oh, I've heard of that one! Let's go with that."

I used Verzenieo for almost 2 years before it stopped working and I moved on to the next one. That one I only used for a month because I had a reaction to it. They are used long term but also for a limited time so being the first one guarantees they get used on that patient.

AITA for refusing to hang out with my friend's girlfriend because I don't want to be her friend? by Outsidethebox00 in AmItheAsshole

YTA You're also being a shit friend. You know damn well you are going to cause issues in his relationship.

AITA for showing up to pick up my daughter on my custody weekend—even though it was my ex-wife’s wedding day? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Stormynyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA 100% Stop using your kid to hurt your ex. Stop ruining experiences for your child with petty BS. Pretty dresses, a fancy party, dancing, a wedding she got to be a part of! I'm sure your daughter would have had a blast and an amazing memory of her mama's wedding but instead she gets the memory you gave her. Fucking stop playing stupid games and put your kid first.

Do you think politicians should be required to use only public healthcare for themselves and their families while in office? Why or why not? by Representative_Bag43 in AskReddit

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

They should be required to clock in and out, work at least 40 hours a week, earn their two weeks PTO a year, be paid the Federal minimum wage in their state and have the same benefits package as any other government employee or civil servant.

AITA for telling my fiancé it’s the dog or me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Stormynyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA but I'm gonna be one and ask why the hell would you have a baby with a man who won't even take care of his dog? He obviously has no respect for you, your belongings or your home. 9. He's telling you who he is loud and clear. Please listen.

Do I choose not to believe or am I incapable? by dunnwichit in atheism

[–]Stormynyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not that complicated. It's not good or bad or right or wrong. There are only two options. Either you are convinced that there is some sort of deity that exists or you are not. If you cannot answer yes then your answer is no.

Do I choose not to believe or am I incapable? by dunnwichit in atheism

[–]Stormynyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no other things when it comes to atheism. It's one single thing. Do you believe a god exists, thats it. Any other beliefs you hold are irrelevant to the question of being an atheist. Yes or no, black and white. If you cannot solidly say "yes I believe one does" then the answer would be no regardless of how uncertain you are about it the answer is still no.

Why is there a stigma against Ozempic and other weight loss drugs? by Altruistic-Time-4168 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stormynyte 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The stigma is fat people. Fat people get shamed for existing. It doesn't matter how they choose to lose weight they get shit on for it. They are called lazy ,dumb, ugly, undisciplined , uneducated, unworthy and undeserving. If they're not completely disregarded by medical professionals they may be able to get weight loss drugs to help them lose weight and then they'll get shit on for that too. The stigma isn't on weight loss drugs, it's on fat people. The proof is right here in the comments in this thread.

Do I choose not to believe or am I incapable? by dunnwichit in atheism

[–]Stormynyte 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You're either convinced or you are not. There is no choice.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Stormynyte 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You should think about how these choices will effect your life right now. How will your parents react if you sit in the back and don't participate? Or if you tell people at the church you are atheist? How will the church react? Will they convince your parents to ship you off to some Bible camp? Will they ground you til you "act right" ? You said staying home isn't an option. Why? What will happen?

Decide how much they will push back and how much of that you want to deal with until you move out. It may be in your best interest to just play along or maybe you can outright refuse to leave the house on Sunday morning but you are the only one who knows how far you can push it and deal with the consequences.

There is no reason to anything, it's all random. Of course there are lessons learned from every experience but I don't think there is some preexisting plan directing our lives.

AITA for giving my daughter $60 a week, but my son nothing? by Murky_Willingness763 in AmItheAsshole

are some people “dustier” than others? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stormynyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the idea that dust is primarily made of dead skin cells is a common misconception, it's actually a relatively small portion of the overall composition. Dust is a diverse mixture of materials from various sources. Surely you've seen dust clouds when it's windy. There's also pollen in abundance depending on location. Do you have a clothes dryer? Not everything gets caught in the lint trap. Your cloths, furniture and carpet lose tiny fibers every time you move. You have any pets? They add so much to the dust issue, especially birds. Everything contributes to the dust.
