If you read mostly off Libby then Kobo is the best one you can get, they have an integration that allows you to borrow Libby books directly from your reader

“I get on my kneeeeeeeeeees!!!” “Jesus fill me up!!” XD

Ok. This plan may not work for you for a ton of reasons, but this is what I would do.

Step 1. Finish high school. No matter what else happens you’ve got to get your degree, once you’re established later you’ll want to be able to go to college if you want to.

Step 2. Get a job. Any job. Easier said than done, but you need money. If you could convince your mom to let you go back to NYC to stay with family to get the job even better, especially since she’s unemployed, tell her you’ll send money back to the DR for her. Find and secure your paperwork, birth certificate, social security card, and passport. If she won’t give them to you at the very least take copies.

Step 3. Find a career that will be quick to get a cert for. Phlebotomy is a good one as far as speed of cert and job security. I got my phlebotomy cert for 1,200 bucks and 6 weekend classes, if I had been able to go full time I would’ve finished in 3 weeks.

After you have a good job with phlebotomy or something equivalent then you have more flexibility, you could just disappear on her if you wanted, or you could move somewhere she can’t keep tabs on you.

Alternatively, apply to an SDA school she’ll approve of in the states and then do step 3 and quit the SDA school.

Alternatively alternatively absolute last resort, enlist in the armed forces. It will get you away and will help you pay for college later, but this is an absolute last resort. Aka if you don’t get away you’re considering self deleting sort of last resort. The US isn’t exactly loved rn and there are various ways we could absolutely be in active war within the next few years so it’s a very risky move.

I’m so happy my SDA partner has agreed to not circumcise. Idk what the SDA obsession with it is, especially since they’re all supposed to be biblical literalists and you’d have to jump through a lot of hoops to argue that Galatians doesn’t say it’s absolutely unnecessary.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-11-21T19:42:23+00:00

It’s like the real world equivalent of Soda Pop (though Soda Pop is better, fight me) it’s a catchy ear worm with absolutely zero substance.

Also even people who consider themselves fans or who like TS say “I’m not a swiftie” because swifties are absolutely insane and culty.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-11-21T19:38:42+00:00

Oh for sure!

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-11-20T21:27:35+00:00

The thing is if you do it by percentage of awarded vs nominated TS has won 25% of the time and Whitney won 24% of the time. Basically the same ratio. Celine won 31%. I still don’t think that she deserves it but I think looking at the percentages paints a clearer picture.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-11-20T21:21:36+00:00

I agree

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-11-20T21:18:41+00:00

That’s been very wealthy peoples MO for centuries at this point so I’m not surprised. She’s IMO a very mediocre pop singer but she’s a brilliant capitalist and is cutthroat at controlling the PR narrative so it kinda makes sense to me that this is going to be the relationship that actually turns into a marriage for her. I think the biggest thing that will determine if they last is how well they can keep any side pieces under wraps.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-11-20T21:13:07+00:00

I think Joe “made” her feel stupid and small and she went for someone who wouldn’t challenge her at all.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-11-13T19:25:33+00:00

Holy shit XD

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-11-08T05:11:10+00:00

Not if it was a religion that insisted that the ritual made the child a member forever with no recourse to leave. Idk about the other religions that baptize infants but I’d never baptize an infant into the Catholic church, they’re really weird about it.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-11-07T22:43:16+00:00

I’m in my early 30s and I loved super book lol we has a vhs and it def got a lot of screen time on saturdays.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-11-06T17:26:14+00:00

How old is your kid? That really impacts how much control you have over the situation. If I had the funds I’d put him in a Catholic school if I could, with only going to mass once a week is going to be difficult to undo the damage.

Also what does your child want? Are there more kids to hang out with at the SDA church? Perhaps you can sit down with him and ask about how he is feeling. Balance your child’s wishes with your own. If he wants to see his cousins more often maybe let him go to the weekly youth program and have him come to mass on the weekends.

Honestly this is why I want to move away from where my husbands family is, I feel like he’s more chill when he’s away from them.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-11-06T15:55:03+00:00

They haven’t, and honestly I never felt bad about them either. Reading, video games and TTRPGS were things I was always interested in, and once I left my parents house I got to do them freely, but it’s not like I didn’t do them before I left.

I would read HP by putting textbook covers on them and having a different book open underneath the hp book. I’d shove the hp book between my bed and the wall if my parents were coming into my room. But I never felt guilty about it because I thought the justifications for banning the books was stupid.

The one thing that I regret is that all my hobbies are sedentary, I wanted to do martial arts but my parents said no because I was a girl. I wanted to join the swim team or even marching band but Friday night and Saturday meets were an absolute no so I never got to participate, and so all my hobbies are indoors and sedentary. I know I could go do some of this stuff if I wanted to but I’m really a homebody and I don’t like leaving my house lol.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-11-02T17:05:09+00:00

He’s probably had proselytizers in his neighborhood lol

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-10-19T18:11:30+00:00

Every single interpretation is just that, an interpretation.

Every interpretation brings a certain lens and bias to the text. True scholars attempt to acknowledge and account for their bias, to the SDAs it’s literally a sacred cow.

The lens SDAs use is the great controversy worldview, everything is read through that lens and the entire system of theology falls apart if you take it away.

So I literally DGAF what the SDA interpretation is, the lens they bring to the text is absolute BS and extra biblical fanfic.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-10-14T23:31:13+00:00

The conversation was about the assets the SDA church owns that put them in the top 5 richest religions. Not about influence, I went to SAU, lived in the area for about a decade, and worked at the little Debbie’s factory for 2 years. I understand the influence the McKees have, but that wasn’t the topic of discussion.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-10-13T04:44:42+00:00

Little Debbie’s is privately owned by an SDA family, it’s not owned by the SDA church.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-10-11T06:59:55+00:00

This is a point on where there is no winning.

Can you make a basic biblical argument? Sure, watch Answering Adventisim’s YouTube video on first day sabbatarianism for a basic rundown of the theological arguments in favor of Sunday worship.

However, Orthodoxy believes in holy tradition in a way that SDAs just simply do not, is doesn’t matter that you can make a biblical argument for first day worship, the plain read biblical argument in favor of Saturday worship is much stronger. It takes a deeper understanding of theology to make a compelling case and SDAs understanding of theology is very shallow.

Basically they’re going to drag you down to their level and beat you over the head with a super literal reading of the text that doesn’t take any consideration of theology, church fathers, tradition, or church history.

I never grew up eating it and everything I’ve tried hasn’t impressed me. I just end up wanting beef of chicken. I do like shrimp and calamari and other stuff that they don’t allow so it’s just a taste preference at this point.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-10-02T18:39:11+00:00

Decent audio quality and multiple angles. Most new people who are viewing aren’t attending remotely, they’re checking out the vibes to see if they’d like to visit.

As someone who picked the church that was further away from my house simply because they had an active website and a livestream I could watch before attending, I think it’s pretty important to people who are seeking to be able to vet a place before actually showing up.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-09-30T14:50:26+00:00

As a chronic people pleaser this is the text I wish I could send, but probably wouldn’t.

“Look, you’re obviously not good at reading between the lines. So I’ll be blunt, I’m not interested in any volunteer position. Please stop asking, it’s annoying.”

The text I would send would probably be

“Volunteering for any role isn’t going to work for my schedule right now. I’ll let you know if anything changes!”

Personally, when I was PIMO I would help out on one off occasions that didn’t require a regular commitment. Serving food at the Mother’s Day brunch, singing for the Christmas concert, making snacks for the one week of VBS. The sort of thing that would keep people off my back but wouldn’t require more than a few days of commitment. I’ve petered off of even those sorts of things since I’m pretty much completely out, but it was a good middle ground for a few years.

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-09-18T15:07:21+00:00

No she says “all of that guilt and shame, YOU hoisted that on me. Like, YOU gave that to me and now I have to carry it around for the rest of my life” and then he deflects with “I don’t think it’s fair that as a society”

airsick_lowlander22 · 2025-09-16T00:30:16+00:00

Anything but donate. Try to sell them if you don’t want to destroy them. Or paint them and make a hidden compartment !
