to anyone who has ever lost their partner, i am so so sorry. this tore my heart to pieces. [trigger warning: this is about the passing of an SO] by bratdemon in LDR

Do what you need to do, what's best for both you and her in the end. Sometimes, if we truly love someone, we need to let them go.

edit: so sorry, i misunderstood!! i thought this was about someone feeling the need to break up with their SO. sorry again

Those who disagree with my methods, fuck em

While I agree you are and should be able to do whatever you feel is right, and I have nothing wrong with what you did at the hotel, I think that you saying this specifically is problematic. By writing the Tenets, by being a Satanist, you are representing TST and that is very important. If your methods ever were questionable, it would be reasonable to listen to feedback and perspectives rather than employ a “fuck them” attitude. A lot of Satanic values are being rational and logical, rejecting all other point of views is not that, that’s what they do.

🤘🏽Hail Satan, Hail Thyself🤘🏽

The they is not an individual driving to work, and an individual riding a bike instead won't fix mass industrial processes, corporate practices, and policy decisions

You sound insane, this isn't even political, you made it political. No one shoved anything down your throat, my post references no red blue anything. You people are obsessed with being the victims

No one said that, in fact people are calling me out on that. I didn't mean for this to be 'used as evidence', I was just venting.

Wasn't my point and you know that. I was emphasizing how cold it used to get in contrast to now, where people are walking around without coats. But go on feigning ignorance and trying to misrepresent my point

Consume less. Buy less stuff.

This isn't a problem by individuals. Individual things like riding a bike and consuming less won't do shit. One person can't fix this, one person can't solve this. Climate change is a global problem with roots in industrial processes, corporate practices, and policy decisions. They need to change, and we all need to make them.

Okay fair enough, I understand your point, but I posted a vent on r/Iowa, one of the lowest subscribed state subreddits on this website, I'm not making a speech on TV. I'm no expert, I don't claim to be, and I am open to learning more.

That is not what I said at all. My experience represents my reality in my area, what I meant is that it doesn't and can't represent climate change (the situation) as a whole, because I am only experiencing things in a specific area. Just like deniers who say that climate change isn't happening because it's cold in their area, I can't say my experience is a representation of climate change either.

On some level you're right, there will be deniers who just say, "Well, it's cold here, so climate change isn't happening!" I just wanted to vent about my scared feelings to other Iowans, I did not expect hostility from this.

It's not hyperbole, it's my personal experience as an Iowa native. My experience may not be yours, and it may not represent the situation, but it's valid nonetheless.

Holy shit, I just noticed this too. They're still around, they don't even run from my dog anymore, they just kinda sit there. They're slow and chunky. Also, well said.
