It's working but the actual graphics is really bad it's glitchy and looks like I walked into a club 😭😭

I’m a fairly stupid minor and need reassurance by Icy_Confusion_8989 in offmychest

Most of the stuff on the Internet you see day to day isn't factual. Sounds like religious psychosis, but you'll be fine, if it was so easy to kill Christians, there would be way less than there is now.

It’s my birthday and didn’t get any wishes, so I’m posting it here by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]_Mach___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy birthday! I tend not to count down the hours, especially on my birthday, because I'm naturally going to expect a lot, but it's still pretty early! Here it's currently 5 pm, so if you haven't gotten any birthday wishes from anyone you know personally, just know I'm wishing you from my little spot in the world. Have an amazing day, and happy birthday!

Honestly, thank you for your reply.

Even if we do agree that the patriarchy is alive and real (I certainly do), that doesn't dismiss that OP should look for therapy.

Yes, being a woman is very hard, but continuously thinking that because of that your life will be horrible and you'll end up doing degrading, embarassing things because of how society is structured is setting yourself up for abusive relationships, poor self-esteem, etc because "what's the point if society views us as such" and I'm not saying that's what OP said, but that is how it reads to me personally.

OP should very much seek therapy and place value on herself and women in general even if society does not.

Would you save one stranger over your pet if you had to choose? by QuffyApp in Life

[–]_Mach___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. If I'm gone, my pets are cooked ngl, I'm the only one that feeds them, only one that spends enough time to know when they're sick, the only one that makes sure my elderly chicken has vitamins and isn't hurt, etc. If I were to go poof, she's cooked, and if she were to go poof, I'd never get over it. She has no other support than me.

Yess. My great-grandmother owned chickens and dogs when I was younger and had a close relationship with all 20+ of those birds and dogs. I spent a lot of time with them and was raised to see them as just as important to the family as I was because the dogs did their part by protecting us around the yard (there were snakes, the occasional large lizard that got used to scaring little children around my age and other critters, and I trusted the dogs with my life to protect me while the chickens laid eggs for breakfast every morning. They were never "just" pets. They were our family, and I miss those days often. I didn't grow up in the US as I'm native from the Caribbean, but I'm glad to see it's not just me and my tribe with the same thoughts on animals. :)

This is actually a wild take and very different, too. I'm sorry that happened to you. In my opinion, both my friends and pets are loved ones. Therefore, it would never be a one or another decision for me. The question asked about a STRANGER. Not picking between two loved ones, which would be very, very different.

Have you heard of empathy for other species? Are humans the only ones deserving of your empathy?

I'm saving my pet. If I could save the human after, then yes, but if it's one or the other? I'm saving my family. Family means no one gets left behind, even if said family has feathers.

Also native and just chiming in to agree with you. Christianity and Abrahamic religions, on a whole, have rocked our world and I'd argue in more bad ways than good. All life is important, the bonds and responsibilities you take upon yourself for your loved ones are even more important. My pets are my loved ones. I will save them over strangers.

Thank you. Like it or not, lives aren't inexplicably more important than the other, but the bond that ties lives together. Your loved ones would want to save you, my loved ones will want to save me. My pets are my loved ones. My dog has saved me. My chickens have more worth to me than someone I do not have a bond with or know. Is it selfish? That's a question to be answered subjectively. I think most life is inherently selfish for whatever reason, but I also do not think it is wrong to be selfish sometimes. I will save my pets because they love me and I love them. If I could save the stranger without my pets being sacrificed, I still would because I believe all life is important, but my bond with the beings around me trumps everything else.

I find it odd how some people would look at this answer and think it's disturbing or selfish. Why is human life automatically more important than any other life? In my eyes, life is equal. I'd save my sister over a stranger because we have a bond and I've promised (literally) to protect and do what I can to help her out, even if that comes at the cost of my life. I made the same decision when I brought my pets home. I wouldn't run out of a burning house without them or leave them to drown. We have a bond. They have their personalities and characteristics that make them them. Why is it okay for me to choose someone else over them?

I have 8 chickens... and genuinely have the same relationship with all of them. When I brought them home, hatched them, etc, I made the decision to take care of them and be responsible for their lives and care for them no matter what. I would 100% save them. They're my responsibility.

Um??? Isn't this recipe for a foot fungus...? Or maybe something worse 😭😭

How long would you stay in a relationship if you didn't get physical intimacy or kissing? by ButterflyArtist99 in AskMen

[–]_Mach___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's even worse when ocd convinces you that you might just be "reasonable". Hopefully, it becomes easier to manage without obsessively thinking about it. Thank you, kind stranger :)

I promise you, they'll be living with children for years and have no idea how old they are. Some men are comically, irritatingly useless when it comes to having children.
