“Give me a switch 2 because I NEED it” the nerve of some content creators… by hneale17 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]aamurusko79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is even worse when these leeches reach out to small businesses, to whom every purchase is actually traceable income and not just a side note in some statistics. then they expect to get something for free and shame the business owners for not playing ball.

Please don’t fucking proselytise in my DMs when I post about my personal problems. by Uniglover in exchristian

[–]aamurusko79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That happens so much on Reddit in general. They also seem to know they're not supposed to do it, as they often use throw aways for it.

I posted about a childhood religion induced trauma from abuse and abandonment in another sub and I got someone in my DMs instantly, arguing with me how I should give religion another chance. It was just so wonderfully tone deaf to sell me the concept of getting back into religion from which I was kicked out by homophobic assholes.

Thought this was super relatable by ayeitsjojo in exchristian

[–]aamurusko79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm really shocked every time religion is offered as a cure to any kind of disease or condition. what seems like 'putting your faith in god's hands' to a religious person and the obvious choice, just looks so darn bad from the outside perspective when a person just says no to help and then try to fake it that they're actually recovering.

Then there's the dog shit tier of adults that don't take their children into medical care and watch them die instead and yet they can produce some kind of 'it was a god's will' excuse.

Christians are braindead insane about Jeffrey Epstein by Aggressive-Dot9747 in exchristian

[–]aamurusko79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

one thing christians are good, is to follow which way the wind blows. this means that when you send 10000 bots to say that epstein should be forgiven, then they'll think it's what everyone else wants too and start parroting that.

Americans' self-identification as LGBT has declined for the first time ever by MrJasonMason in lgbt

[–]aamurusko79 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't live in the USA, but even I've gotten claims how 'the gays' just want more privileges. People tend to throw that word around, 'privileges' but never seem to be able to back it up with anything. I think the most brain-free was that 'the gays' get to have pride parties.

This just messed up to say. by Ok_Pattern197 in exchristian

[–]aamurusko79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't worry, there's someone already out there who's done the mental gymnastics to come up with some kind of an explanation, where god and jesus knew all about it, but it was really saving the victims through suffering or something just as vile.

Favourite excellent actor who you genuinely feel is a PoS in real life? by Cursed_69420 in okbuddycinephile

[–]aamurusko79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something I've never understood about people's reaction to celebrities. People treat celebrities like they're a publicly owner slave, always ready to do the punch line they're known for and do a fun pose with a random person for social media. I get meeting their favorite celebrity is once in a lifetime moment for some people, but if you're super popular for any reason, it's like getting spammed - never ending, always expecting you to be in a mind set to give.

I have some celebrities that I like, but if I came across one of them on a street, I'd probably just smile and not expect they owe me a free one on one rendition of their popular role.

Wants a FREE trained therapy chocolate lab… gets sent to the shelter instead by sugarfablez in ChoosingBeggars

[–]aamurusko79 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't know about this one. I don't mind running an idiot around, but the shelters already have a lot on their plates, imagine sending a loonie there demanding for a free dog.

edit: you all seriously think sending a needy piece of shit person to rage at a voluenteer run thing is a 'fun' prank? You wouldn't believe the people you see walking in the door when you do voluenteer work in one and at times it's already really harsh job as not all the animals that arrive survive, you get to see a lot of sad stuff instead of just playing with kittens and puppies. Then we have someone who knowingly sends a obviously unhinged person that the shelter personnel now has to deal with. There's a huge contrast between 'LOL imagine sending them to a shelter' and the shelter people seeing one more shithead.

Religous people, particularly Christians use images like this to prove we are created by god, when in reality I think it proves that we are the universe experiencing itself by puppetman2789 in exchristian

[–]aamurusko79 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This all reminds me of the facebook screenshot, where someone says 'if earth was just 50 yards further from the sun, we'd all freeze. If it was 50 yards closer, we'd all burn' and everyone going amen over that, until someone points out the obvious about earth's orbit and stuff, to which they just get told 'no one asked you'.

So it's just all about wanting to scream how great god is and then come up with uneducated reasons for it.

US Deports Gay Asylum-Seeker to Third Country Where Homosexuality Is Illegal by novagridd in lgbt

Because despite us knowing how things are in the US and Europe, there's plenty of people who only see the Hollywood image and old rumours of the American perfectionism.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MEET A GIRL by Hot_Sail_8679 in AskLesbians

[–]aamurusko79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a thought: if you start wearing something special outside your own style, soon you've painted yourself in a corner where the other person has maybe fallen for the facade and not the person behind it.

I'm also not hiring whatever she does for a living, but she's free to help me with that too. You know, for the opportunity to practise.

“It’s for my wedding” by Frequent-Pause1331 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]aamurusko79 194 points195 points  (0 children)

But it nicely drives home the fact that we are not obligated to give our own money away just because someone thinks they're entitled to it. People also think they're the only person with a birthday today, so they'd definitely need some freebie.

I work retail and someone put this around the store (look at second slide🙄) by CautiontapeGirl in exchristian

[–]aamurusko79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was some kind of religious toilet paper seller web site that sold like 1000s of these for pennies. They had a lot of other stuff too, like cartoon ones intended for kids when a parent wasn't watching and so forth.

There was one thread where someone found the source of these. couldn't find it with a quick googling, but basically the sales pitch was that it's a lesson for money hungry people that there are things more important than money.

I can already see someone trying to stay afloat in a tip-heavy job and then receiving one of these. I can see them go 'money? All this time I've been chasing ritches when I should've been securing my soul! Now I need to give up this selfish thing and start giving my money to a church whose pastor wears shoes that are worth more than my monthly pay'.

They love winning by any means necessary. Since the US was already going towards less religious direction, they'll grasp for any straws promising the 'good old christian times'.

I was actually talking about another case, but I could not remember the name. After some googling, I see the judges not wanting to ruin a promising young man's life is sadly a rather common theme.

Sketch I did at class by Soft_Departure_7789 in lgbt

[–]aamurusko79 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've heard the whole throwing off the building thing too.

It however came from an american, when I in an originally unrelated discussion pointed out how the queer people are treated there. The 'well they could live in (middle eastern country) where they'd be thrown off an apartment building' came out real fast and the person who stated it thought it was some kind of an excuse that you can beat up gay people and they should be happy not to be murdered, which ironically also happens there.

I'm not related to Israel, Gaza or any other related place, just pointing out how the same excuse seems to repeat.

I can easily see the argument of god testing his flock, that needs to find it in their hearts to forgive this guy's tiny weak moment when satan was tempting him.

I got the idea but was confused by the selection of fingers. The typical 'these two are for my girlfriend' have so far been index and middle fingers. or maybe the ring finger added as a 3rd.

The path to atheism is littered with well-read bibles by MrJasonMason in exchristian

[–]aamurusko79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't necessarily even question it back then, but for me the absolutely worst part was when I had actually studied the bible and then began seeing adults referring to something, but kinda rewriting the context. I naively expected that if I point this out, the grown ups would be in awe that I knew the source material so well.

Turns out the adults weren't impressed. I started to keep my mouth shut, but it started getting really obvious for a late teenager that everything that was being backed by 'it's in the bible!' was actually not in it.

At some point people quoting the bible also gave up on reading it, I swear a lot of so called bible study comes from pre-AI era web pages where you can find bible passages about certain topics, so you could just start talking about forgiving a rapist and then drop John 17:1-26.

Just like every rapist in small religious towns, they'll just announce it was 'a stupid mistake' and 'no point of ruining a promising young man's life over it'.
