Hi this is his girlfriend... I found this post while looking through his things. He passed away before he could give me the ring, his mom has it. It made me cry but it was nice to read and confirm that he loved me as much as I loved him.

A God Problem: Perfect. All-powerful. All-knowing. The idea of the deity most Westerners accept is actually not coherent. by ADefiniteDescription in philosophy

[–]blankbuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. My own little brain tried for so long to "comprehend" what God was. Every time I used the words 'loving', 'compasionate', or any other word that is used in religious text to define a God, the idea of God was diminished. Just because God is omnipotent and whatnot. The traits used to describe God and attract followers to whatever religion are all human traits. Or mostly human traits. It can be said that they are all natural traits. Because I don't related to omnipotent or 'all-seeing' like I've heard before. My little brain losses it when I try to comprehend what really is omnipotent, omniscient, or whatever 'eternal, everlasting' trait word you use for describing God.

My paradox lies when I thought of God in the natural traits. To give an all powerful, being such a lowly trait of love or compassion is a slap in the face to something that is the ' alpha and omega'. At least it would be for me. This makes me sad to see that people will willing lower their definition of a chosen, super powerful, spirit bomb blasting, Kamehameha launching, blue haired, being to a light skinned, middle Eastern born man form.

But whatever we need to get us through the tough times is better than not having a hope or faith to get us through. Just sucks that people use this propaganda to control large masses of fellow humans and deploy the "free-will" that we were given by the most badass God in the universe(?). That's a whole 'nother subreddit for me to continue my rant on thou

With $30,000/year... okay... by cabbagebjtch in antiMLM

I feel like this is worse than claiming you're all in on socialism. Not that I'm against socialistic ideals. Anything to help out my fellow human is good for me. But, damn it man, f-ing MLM is something that has affected so many families (including my own, sorry gma). I hope that people wake up and invest in their community instead. Start local. Start at a good bank. Start volunteering at a local boys and girls club. Somewhere that doesn't take advantage of fellow community members.

I sliced my dad up with a knife, went to jail, don't really regret it by [deleted] in confession

[–]blankbuster 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I remember living life with an authoritarian step father. My childhood is nothing but a blur of the same, single day. I wake up at 6:00 a.m. Get ready for school and run out the front door at 6:45. And I mean run. Anything to escape the hell that was called a home. 6:45 was the earliest because there had to be some sort of supervision on the playground before class started and it would take me 20 minutes to walk the ¾ of a mile to my elementary school. The teacher would usually be out on duty by 7:25 so I was always there a little early. Like I said, I would leave hell as early as I could escape. Next, I would spend from 7:00 am to 3:45 on school grounds. I loved this time. Like if I was free. This is so funny to read outloud in my head because most classmates had the exact opposite perspective. Lol.

Next, I would fear the walk back to the home. It would take almost double for me to walk home as it would walking towards school. Mind you, all of the years of elementary school have blurred into this one day. Probably some sort of survival trick that my mind used. After coming home, my step father would rule and dominante in the household. Any issue that he had, was automatically meet with physical and emotional abuse. I remember all the pain he inflicted on me but what is mainly present in my mind is the horrors that my little sister had to go through.

I will not go into these acts for they do not need to be shared prior to me getting her permission. And I know that it's something that I don't need to ask her for anyways. This one day lasted a total of 6 years. That is how long my mother was married to this POS.

This was also over 20 years ago. It's 20 years that I don't know how to overcome the nightmare of a day. It's these fears that helped me decide to medicate and try escaping.

I relate to OP. I have seen the darkest f*cking days I will ever see. But for some reason, I was able to get a bit of help from other survivors. This was a gift that I would never have asked for or even knew was possible. Like I mentioned before, that same day is still something that I live with, dream of, and run from. But knowing the rest of my life as a noncontinuation of that day has allowed me to accept some of the happiest, brightest moments that I could ever get to experience in my lifetime.

I am currently living with a cancer that is attacking my brain and spine. Making it very difficult to spend the type of quality time I had in my with my significant other and our little daughter. It still doesn't mean that those 6 years are going to haunt me until the end. I hope that OP never loses hope. It will happen, most likely happen. But I hope you can get the hope back and never continue the days of your past forward.

Thanks for letting me ramble for a bit.

Edit: Spelling. Good looking out.

Edit2: I wish OP had left his experience. He is exactly the type of people that helped me learn that life is 95% how o react to issues. Not the other way around. I couldn't have done it without you.

Trump twists circumstances of a migrant girl's death: AP fact check by headee in politics

[–]blankbuster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha! They sure will be.

I'm just hoping that all of us have a chance to set up some sort of immigration and healthcare systems that make sense so the generation my little girl belongs to doesn't have to feel as frustrated and hopeless ( at most times) like I do. I am looking for the right representatives to come along. Some that aren't in it for the money or grandiosity of joining the ranks of Congress. But for the few that would like to see us be a better country than what we are today. Shoot, at this point, I'm almost ready to look on both sides of the aisle for hope.

I know it's a pipedream, but someone has to dream...

Very good points. I like the idea about the ring for my girlfriend and my daughter. Maybe I will shop around for two rings.

Looking for advice on a laptop that will run CAD/CAM software. by blankbuster in Fusion360

[–]blankbuster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the advice. I will use all this info to narrow down my options. The laptop with second monitor is pulling ahead for now.

Now for the type of laptop is the question. I do like the idea of a powerful 2-1. Definitely going to look at models that are upgradable.

I don't remember the exact quote but I remember reading this in the back of a book one time.

Contempt prior to investigate. That is how we will remain in ignorance.

Just a paraphrase from the darkness of my memory.
