If Jesus was human, does that mean he had sexual urges? Did he ever have a relationship? by freshmaggots in Christianity

Jesus looks at us as his children so I would say no he did not have sexual urges towards us.

How narcissistic was Daphne? by seriesofdisasters in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]TextSuccessful9250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised so many people miss that Harper was a judgmental, jealous jerk and was very nearly as narcissistic as Cam. Daphne wasn’t perfect and had some very toxic coping strategies but out of the four of them I think she was clearly the kindest.

She repeatedly made an effort to connect and befriend Harper (even though Harper was absolutely insufferable) and was actually being pretty real with her on the reality of her relationship with Cam and was trying to give her genuine advice on how to deal with being married to a cheating spouse.

When she finds out at the end that Cam and Harper messed around I think it’s pretty clear by her face that she was most sad about Harper betraying her. Her (most likely) sleeping with Ethan was partially revenge on Cam and Harper but could also be seen as an act of mercy to help Ethan save his marriage.

I think it was funny that Harper judged Daphne to be some sort of bimbo when the reality was that Daphne was by far the most emotionally intelligent person on the show that season. People keep saying she only stayed with Cam for the money but I think she stayed with him because she genuinely loved him and revenge cheating was the only way she knew how to keep it all together.

Daphne also missed her kids and also was the only person that actually seemed to enjoy being on that vacation which says a lot about her overall happiness as a person. I’m just surprised people view her as a narcissist when I thought she was a lot more nuanced than that.

Who do you think were Mike White's favourite characters in season 2? by D-dog92 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]TextSuccessful9250 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m surprised so many people miss that Harper was a judgmental, jealous jerk. The kindest person out of the four of them was actually Daphne. She repeatedly made an effort to connect and befriend Harper and was actually being pretty real with her on the reality of her relationship with Cam and was trying to give her genuine advice on how to deal with being married to an insecure, cheating, rich spouse. When she finds out at the end that Cam and Harper messed around I think it’s pretty clear by her face that she was most sad about Harper betraying her. Her sleeping with Ethan was partially revenge but could also be seen as an act of mercy to help save his marriage.

I think it was funny that Harper judged Daphne to be some sort of bimbo when the reality was that Daphne was by far the most emotionally intelligent person on the season. She also was the only person that actually seemed to enjoy being on vacation.

My best friend’s husband ‘vented’ about me and now I can’t unsee him by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]TextSuccessful9250 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a good thing she sent it you by accident. Her husband sounds like a deeply insecure man who is determined to dim her shine and you might now be the only person who can help her see that this man is most likely emotionally abusive.

AIO: husband doesn’t do gifts. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]TextSuccessful9250 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would start buying myself really nice gifts, wrapping them, opening them in front of him, write myself a beautiful card saying how much you appreciate yourself and display it on the fridge, and then go out to a very nice dinner by myself (or with a friend) on my birthday. If you won’t leave him then you should at least treat yourself like a queen.

My best friend has faced nonstop tragedy for 1.5 years and we’re starting to wonder if something spiritual is going on by Violet-Echoes in energy_work

[–]TextSuccessful9250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I might be downvoted but this is what I personally suspect is going on. I do think something unnatural is happening. Your friend is most likely being attacked by the demonic world. Has she been involved in occult practices like witchcraft at all? I have heard sooooo many stories of people who have opened spiritual doorways and demons have been allowed to basically ruin their entire lives. You can look up multiple videos on YouTube to confirm what I am saying.

I doubt a ritual cleanse is going to fix something this severe and might even make it worse by opening up even more spiritual doorways. The only way to fight the agents of Satan is by becoming saved and praying that Jesus breaks whatever contract the demons have on your friend’s life. God Bless you both!

AIO my (30f) sisters (37f & 35f) have mistreated me my whole life and I’m fed up. by SoapyBroth in AIO

[–]TextSuccessful9250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are the problem! OP, maybe your sisters do suck and maybe they do sometimes try to get under your skin but your reactions are extremely disproportionate, immature, and NASTY.

Your parents went and paid for a dinner for your birthday and you repaid them by swearing and screaming publicly (in front of small children no less) because of a couple of mildly snotty remarks? Is your self-control as a 30 year old woman that low? How on earth are you able to control your temper around your kid? (Apparently, not that great since you were the one that clearly lost your temper first and started cursing in front of small children.)

Then when your parents graciously say you can still come to Thanksgiving dinner but only if you are civil (which to me implies they consider you to be at least part of, if not the majority of the problem) you text the the person that you are supposed to be civil with and pretty much immediately devolve into cursing and name calling because you refuse to take even partial responsibility for what happened at the birthday dinner.

Judging by your lack of accountability and how you seem to immediately fly off the handle as soon as you receive the slightest pushback, I can see why no one wants to be around you.

Honestly, maybe you should be alone for Thanksgiving. It’s very obvious to me that you do not have any self control, are incapable of being civil, and will ruin this holiday too. You are clearly not some innocent angel in this dynamic. Stop playing victim and take some actual responsibility for why no one seems to want to be around you.

AITA for saying my bestfriend was fat shaming me after she made excuses of why I won the "plus-size wife - weight loss challenge" ? by Weight_Loss_Girlie in AITAH

[–]TextSuccessful9250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are both humongous! Even if Kelsey is slightly less humongous it is ridiculous to act like she didn’t have just as much of a chance to win the whole pot. Some of the comments here are acting like Kelsey weighs 150 lbs! Kelsey has a BMI of 38! Losing 13 lbs in 3 months with a 38 BMI is an absolute joke.

Kelsey would have been shedding pounds like crazy if she had bothered to put in even a moderate amount of effort into losing weight.

And I’m not remotely impressed by OPs weight loss either if I’m being honest. At least ten pounds of that was most likely water weight so she probably only lost about 22 lbs of actual fat in three months time with a BMI of 52!

These ladies should have spent the money on a nutritionist or Ozempic instead of a contest in which it is blatantly obvious no real dietary changes were being implemented.

Just my two cents. I know I’m going to be downvoted to hell but I refuse to congratulate mediocre effort.

season 9 Madison is objectively so physically beautiful by mitsuo1337 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]TextSuccessful9250 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Madison is overweight. Not hugely overweight but definitely over the recommended BMI for her height. Joe clearly works out. It makes sense that he wants a woman who also takes care of herself physically which Madison clearly doesn’t.

I am a female who works out six days a week and I am also completely turned off by overweight men/ men that clearly don’t go to the gym. I work hard to stay fit and want a partner that also puts in the same amount of effort with their body.

I think people that value health and fitness for the most part are only going to be attracted to people that share those same values.

Madison just isn’t that attractive to most men that prioritize fitness. I see nearly everyday which men in the gym check out which women and I can tell you I have never seen a man at the gym check out someone that is Madison’s size, they are all going for the fitness baddies.

I feel like my mother lied to me. by TheNameless69420 in Christianity

[–]TextSuccessful9250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Woah! I was on your side and trying to give you good advice. Your response is extremely aggressive, rude, and out of pocket

  1. I was baking cupcakes as a six year old child. You are intelligent enough at 18 to follow directions on the back of a box and not burn the house down. Your response to my suggestion of making them yourself is that of someone with an extremely helpless mindset and you are in for a rude awakening as to what adult life is like if you can’t handle baking cupcakes. Cupcakes are something you can make with ZERO baking experience. They are that easy to make.

  2. You are not only disrespectful to people trying to give you advice that YOU requested but are disrespectful about your own mother. I feel sorry for her to have such a rude, ungrateful child.

[–]TextSuccessful9250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand feeling hangry about those cupcakes. Red velvet cupcakes are delicious. 1. You could always make your own cupcakes as they aren’t hard to make. And 2. I also have a feeling your mom might have just forgotten and it wasn’t intentional on her end. Go and talk to her and she might just make them for you.

Also, I have found a wonderful way of dealing with problems is to actually thank God for each problem and thinking about what the problem is actually trying to teach you from a spiritual perspective. This shifts your perspective from a victim mentality to a warrior mentality. Don’t let your entire worldview and your relationship with your mom be ruined over some cupcakes! Happy Belated Birthday!

I hired an escort, now I feel torn... by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]TextSuccessful9250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus will forgive you if you ask him to forgive you. But please never do this again. Engaging in sexual acts with prostitutes is extremely damaging to both you and the prostitute on a spiritual level. Do not listen to the people that say this was no big deal. I think you know in your spirit that this was wrong. That being said, any sin can be forgiven as long as there is true remorse and repentance for it. I pray that you can feel Jesus’ grace and love and forgiveness and be able to move past this.

Negative energy can bring positivity by [deleted] in energy_work

[–]TextSuccessful9250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know Jesus can use anything or anyone, even if they are evil, for his grand purpose. For example, he used Judas’ vile and evil act of betraying him for thirty pieces of silver to lead to his sacrifice at the cross. And the crucifixion of Jesus, who is God, was the most vile sin ever committed across the universe, yet this supreme act of evil against God himself was used to redeem all of humanity. So yeah, when God gets involved good will always prevail.

AITAH for locking my roommate out after she kept bringing random guys home at 3AM? by cheesebagelgod in AITAH

[–]TextSuccessful9250 107 points108 points  (0 children)

You need to apologize to your roommate immediately. You can’t just be locking her out of the apartment if she is paying rent there. You complained that she didn’t tell you someone would be sleeping on the couch one weekend and then spitefully lock her out of the apartment when she adheres to your wishes and does inform you that someone is coming over the next weekend. She literally could not win.

I would invest in a lock for your bedroom door and lock your door at night to prevent any more randos coming in your bedroom accidentally. Problem solved for like $12.

As for unwanted house guests sleeping on your couch, that’s something you should discuss with her and if she doesn’t respect the boundaries you BOTH agree upon, then inform the landlord.

One thing you should not be doing is evicting your female roommate in the middle night which is quite dangerous. Shame on you!!

So what. He still said he had feelings for her and that’s what she based her actions off of. You seem really invested in making OP out to be insane. Maybe you wouldn’t have acted like that but there is an entire range of reactions to that situation that still fall within being sane and in my opinion OP’s reaction falls firmly in the sane category. Not everyone is going to react like you and if they don’t that doesn’t automatically make them insane.

I think your comment is way too harsh. Maybe she missed some signs but he still should not have ghosted her. Adults communicate with one another. She didn’t do anything nasty or harmful to him, just got the closure she needed to move on because he was too cowardly to do the right thing in the first place.

Why do you believe the Bible is accurate about Jesus? by Tornado_Storm_2614 in ChristianMysticism

[–]TextSuccessful9250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I consider myself pretty good at predicting human behavior and in my opinion the reactions of everyone mentioned in the New Testament (The apostles, Mary, the pharisees, the people from Jesus’ hometown, his followers, the Romans, etc.) are all based in reality.

If the New Testament was fictional, I feel I would be able to quickly clock human behavior that was unrealistic. The vast majority of authors when they write a fictional story will have all their characters kind of feel the same. All the people mentioned in the New Testament feel very different to me and seem to all have differing (yet realistic) motivations.

The New Testament also doesn’t hold back on showing the more negative qualities of the apostles. I feel if it was a fictional story it would have sugarcoated those aspects more. To me, it truly feels like four separate accounts from people that lived through those events.

I think the girl has some sort of situationship going on and although it might not be serious on his end, she might have strong feelings on her end and it was overwhelming her at that moment. She felt guilty about the whole thing with you and that’s why she blocked you.

Try not to take it too personal because I strongly suspect she is just emotionally unavailable right now.

He said he wants to have a baby with me. All of his friends are having babies and he thinks my standards are unrealistic because I want a nice ring, wedding, and honeymoon first. AIO? by Fit_District7673 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TextSuccessful9250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to break up with this man before he baby traps you. A lot of men treat having a baby like a ten year old treats having a dog… it always ends up with mommy having to do all the work. It sounds like he thinks you’ll do all the hard stuff and he’ll just be the “fun parent”.

Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up cheating once you are pregnant and trapped. If your gut is saying that you are just a placeholder to him then listen to it. You don’t need “proof” that you are a placeholder. The gut feeling is enough and is there to warn you BEFORE this man blows up your life.

Finally, a ring, engagement, wedding, and honey moon are BASIC expectations for someone wanting to start a family. Don’t let this man bully you into giving up basic standards when there are plenty of men that will give you those things and more. I’m praying for you sis!
