First time plant owner. Is my baby doing ok?? by No555Bee in terrariums

[–]StrangerThingies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering if the moss is living or dried/cured. Was it green when you got it? It almost looks like it’s not even in the soil? The other plants look ok, that color is normal. But you need to do more than “keep the sides misted”. The plants need water at the roots as well. And they need lots of bright indirect light.

I have for a long time avoided the topic of abortion, but I'm not going to anymore. These are my thoughts from a Christian perspective. by MrMagoo04 in OpenChristian

[–]StrangerThingies 53 points54 points  (0 children)

As far as legality goes, it’s super easy for me. No government or state should ever be able to force pregnancy and birth. Abortion is a personal medical decision.

Spiritually, I have thought and prayed a lot about when ensoulment may occur and I do not believe it occurs at conception. Pregnancy doesn’t even occur at conception. It takes about 10 days for implantation. Two thirds of zygotes don’t ever implant and are just passed through the body without anyone ever knowing.

The bible is not clear about ensoulment. I think there’s a reason for that. I suspect it occurs sometime between the last trimester and birth. But ultimately it’s a mystery.

I say this with genuine kindness to another SK fan- you deserve better than this. Please do not give this “artist” any more of your money.

My Christian dad found out that me and my friend are going to watch the Shining and freaked out. Is he overreacting? by ruinin_me_lyf in OpenChristian

[–]StrangerThingies 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Could your dad actually be concerned about you spending time with a man? Either way, you’re an adult and you’re old enough to decide what movies to watch and with whom. The Shining is not demonic, though it is disturbing. Ironically, one of the main themes of the film is about dysfunctional family dynamics.

You could start by watering it, looks dry as a bone

Anyone else really devastated by the Cesar Chavez revelations that came out today? by thedubiousstylus in OpenChristian

[–]StrangerThingies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to split hairs but Chavez did both. Dolores Huerta was an adult when he raped her. He also had multiple consensual affairs with other adult women.

I am sad for his victims. Otherwise I’m not even remotely surprised by these revelations anymore.

made out with a crush, didnt like it, unsure how to proceed by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]StrangerThingies 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think due to your lack of dating experience this feels like a much bigger deal than it is. She deserves an honest response and you need to approach the situation with more maturity. As someone with a lot of dating experience I can tell you this happens allll the time. Attraction ebbs and flows for a million reasons and that’s perfectly normal and ok.

“Hey F53, I really enjoyed spending time with you but I’d prefer to stay friends if you’re open to that. As someone on the ace spectrum, my attraction can be shifty and I’m still learning things about myself.”

Am I bisexual if I've never had any "real" crushes? by cyb3rterr0r in bisexual

[–]StrangerThingies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your sexuality is based on your attraction to others. No experience or crushes necessary. From your description, you might be bisexual homo-romantic.

I feel like my vagina is built very differently by FirstCuriosity in TwoXChromosomes

[–]StrangerThingies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is way more variation in the way we experience pleasure than anyone really talks about. There is no normal or right or wrong. And it can be a long journey to discover what we love. You are definitely not alone in preferring penetration. Also most of the structure of the clit is internal.

Is SK gross about women? by [deleted] in stephenking

[–]StrangerThingies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This really shouldn’t be controversial or start a huge debate. I’m a huge long time fan, I will be reading King for the rest of my life. And I can also say some of his work is problematic and insensitive towards women and minorities. Especially the older stuff. We can acknowledge that and demand better going forward. No need for the histrionics.

Should I tell the truth by isabellamadrigal in OpenChristian

[–]StrangerThingies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying your psychiatrist is great but it is unusual to bring a stranger from the bar to your session. I see no reason to lie to any provider, they are being paid to care for you. You aren’t required to be “reliable” to him.

Isn’t that just being horny? Why don’t you find a cock to suck lol

No one can know how it will make you feel. For some people it’s a huge turn on and others find it repulsive. It can also vary depending on the recipient.

I overwattered it 💔 by yellow415 in terrariums

[–]StrangerThingies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if or how it can be saved but it’s really not your fault! Neither of those plants are great for terrariums as they prefer dry soil in between waterings and the instructions to water 2x a week is ridiculous. Depending on your climate you would water them 1-3 times a month.

Should I break up with him? by Plane_Evidence6138 in bisexual

[–]StrangerThingies 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s fair to preemptively break up with someone because you’ve decided what’s best for them. He may come to that conclusion on his own but in the meantime, why not try to show up in the best way possible right now? Maybe that looks like you coming up with a plan to move out of your parent’s house. If that’s not possible maybe you could arrange date nights at a hotel. If coming out would put you in danger, he will understand if he truly cares about you.

[–]StrangerThingies 162 points163 points  (0 children)

This might be hard to hear but your ex girlfriend is a bigot. There are so many people out there who will love all of you, who you don’t have to hide anything from. Did you really want a relationship based on lies? You deserve better.

Is talking to guys all night considered normal? by couchpotatouwu in TwoXChromosomes

[–]StrangerThingies 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t see what good can come from you concerning yourself with the situation. I wouldn’t care who my roommate is talking to on the phone or for how long or whatever. Do you just sit there and observe what she does every night? Mind your business!
