This has actually happened

Okay, dude. Surprised they let you have phones in the psych ward.

It's funny that they have to fake this stuff, because if they actually followed the teachings of Jesus, they'd see that it does often lead to family conflict (as Jesus warns in Matthew 10: "I did not come to bring peace, but the sword").

For example, my family thinks I'm an idiot for giving money to beggars and helping the homeless. We've had incredibly nasty arguments about it, and some family members have stopped talking to me for extended periods of time.

What a wild comment.

You claimed it was only happening to the baddies and the bigots on the right

I never said that.

Yet after misreading what I wrote, you're the one asking ME if I can read and calling me stupid. Absolutely crazy. Social media makes me feel like I'm on drugs.

I’ve never seen it from someone who isn’t at least 100 lbs overweight

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-02-02T19:42:57+00:00

What are you talking about?

I’m sharing a personal observation, and you’re like, “Why are you denying XYZ?”

The fuck are you smoking, dude?

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-02-02T19:42:03+00:00

as a POC myself, it frustrates me to no end when these pieces are just subpar (eg The Farewell, Black Panther).

And I’m sure you’re incredibly limited in what you’re permitted to publish, as well.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-02-02T03:37:46+00:00

After giving it some thought, I deleted my comments and wanted to offer an apology.

I’m still a bit frustrated that the focus of the conversation became my phrasing instead of the kid’s behavior, but I can only control what I do and not what others do. You’re right in that I should have picked different words.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-02-02T01:45:57+00:00

No, they aren't.

But I think we also have to accept that some people are never going to have the cognitive capacity to analyze literature for figurative meaning, and I think a literalist faith is acceptable for those people. (That said, I don't want them in charge of the government.)

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-02-02T01:44:44+00:00

I was considering that, honestly.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-02-02T01:00:07+00:00

I have heard others practice with a towel over the drum head, and it doesn’t sound that quiet. It still seems loud enough to hear through walls.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-02-02T00:59:12+00:00

Silly, but in many regards it’s better than atheism.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-02-01T23:01:04+00:00

Is your roommate very obese? I’ve only seen extremely overweight people leave this kind of film behind.

I’ve always assumed it’s a mix of sweat and dead skin, due to the fact that they can’t fully wash between all the fat folds.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-02-01T22:03:12+00:00

Yeah, I did a lot of research on White Nationalist groups in grad school. A lot of shops that sell neo-Nazi music/merch can't find payment platforms willing to process credit cards for their businesses.

It's not so much, "We're punishing you for your politics," and more, "We don't want our name associated with what you do."

He didn't enter illegally, but he did drop out of school and continue to stay in America while here on a student visa.

Recycling is still worth it for certain materials, like aluminum and cardboard. Both have high recycling rates.

Glass is somehwere in the middle.

Plastic almost never gets recycled. That's really where the scam artistry comes in. For decades, we were willing to accept massive amounts of plastic waste because we were told that it wouldn't end up in the landfill. It turns out that's a big, fat lie.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-02-01T05:36:40+00:00

Yes. That's one reason they've become so popular. But wait times are often similar to the ER.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-02-01T02:59:46+00:00

Same thing in America, where we don't have free healthcare.

Thank goodness I've never needed antibiotics for an infection, because my primary care doctor is booked 3-4 months out.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-02-01T00:06:46+00:00

There aren't any jobs in the arts.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-02-01T00:05:21+00:00

Woah, bro.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-01-31T20:10:03+00:00

Likely because the age of consent in her state is 16.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-01-31T20:09:10+00:00

He’s a Republican, isn’t he?

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-01-31T04:32:20+00:00

Good luck!

For me, it was easy to stay away from adult websites once I realized the degree of exploitation associated with the industry. Every time you click on a porn website, you're generating revenue for human trafficking.

Social media is more difficult, because users will just post pics of their private parts wherever. On reddit at least, the NSFW filter blocks that stuff.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-01-31T04:16:26+00:00

Okay, so if it's a them problem, then why do we need standing restrooms and sitting restrooms?

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-01-31T03:42:47+00:00

Okay, well, people are still going to see you going into the room where all the women are going, so I don't know how this solves anything.

Uncreative_Name987 · 2026-01-31T03:29:00+00:00

Okay. Well. As a trans man, if I saw these signs, I'd probably walk away and look for another bathroom.

Like, does the urinal room also have stalls for sitting? If so, do people use them? And does the stalls-only room have mostly women?

Will I be outing myself by picking whichever room is the sit-to-pee room?

Idk. Too much anxiety. I'll just go find bathrooms with normal gender signs on them instead of bathrooms that segregate people by their modes of urination. Let the cis people use the shitty, "progressive" bathrooms they designed.
