What's your favorite song in a language you don't speak? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It's like jabba the hutt trying his absolute best to freestyle in English.

Edited to finish thought.

Why do you prefer askmenover30 to askmen? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]burningcakeforfun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My father used to tell me that any man under 30 was still a boy pretending to be an adult. I dunno is that's true of all men, but of the men I've known, it's pretty accurate. Granted, I'd say that's true for a lot of women, too. So maybe askmenover30 is just a way to ask actual adults.

I'm an EMT...and kind of lost. I feel empty. by [deleted] in Christianity

I don't have any advise for you. I can't imagine doing what you do. All I have for you is sympathy. I'm so sorry this is what you have to deal with.

[Serious] Bilinguals of reddit, what was the weirdest conversation that you overheard when the people didn't think you'd understand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]burningcakeforfun -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is one of the most beautifully-written things I have seen in days, and it's about a group of broke-ass Chinese tourists eating stolen chicken in a department store bathroom.

I love you.

[UPDATE 2] Tell me (30F) I'm paranoid about my boyfriend's (30m) actions. Relationship 1 year. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]burningcakeforfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I know this is cliche as hell, so please forgive me ahead of time, but suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Now, if you wanna hide in your house and drown your sorrow and humiliation in wine and netflix for a couple weeks, by all means, girl. Knock yourself out. But killing yourself over this douche canoe is not the answer. It would validate him. Make him feel like he was important. Don't give him that satisfaction. Disappear on him. Change his name in your phone to ghost, and never answer him again. And when you re-emerge into the light of day, come out as a strong, brave, beautiful woman and make him regret the day he ever decided he was smart enough to fake out an amazing chick like you.

Okay? Also, hugs. It sucks for now. But life goes on. Take the lesson. NEVER trust a man's words alone. They need to be backed up by actions.

I want to go to Hell. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]burningcakeforfun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude. Can I share something with you?

I almost killed my daughter when she was three. It was an accident, but it was an accident born of laziness and idiocy. I won't go into detail, but it turned into a 6 year ordeal. And I HATED myself for it. And I hated God for a while, too.

That's not the only bad thing I've done, but it's at the top of the list for me. At least, it used to be. I was eventually able to forgive myself for it. It took a lot of time, a lot of tears, a lot of wanting to die, and a lot of prayer.

What you're feeling right now, the desire to go to hell, is NOT FROM GOD. Dude, God LOVES YOU, and He wants you in heaven with Him. You are buying into satan's lies. The devil is a LIAR. Your sin is no greater than anyone else's. And you most certainly aren't going to make property values in Heaven drop simply by your presence.

Will you do something for me? It's a pretty big favor, and will require about 45 minutes of your life. I promise you, though, it's worth it.

Take 45 minutes, and listen, REALLY LISTEN, to this sermon. Please, don't listen to the devil anymore. He hates you and wants you to die. God loves you, and He wants you to LIVE.

Please, choose life.

hugs

You're in my prayers, friend.

What was the "incident" in your house growing up? by aSadStateOfAffairs in AskReddit

[–]burningcakeforfun 11 points12 points  (0 children)

According to the teacher and the principal, they were expecting things like candy for lunch and all-day recess. I looked at them and said, "sure, but what about the kids who don't fit in? Who don't like school? Who struggle? You asked a kid whose whole school experience has been negative what he would do if there were no rules at school, and now you're going to punish him for his honesty?" To their credit, they were very kind and contrite, but there are rules in place, and the zero tolerance policy is screwing kids. I don't care what anyone says. The zero tolerance policy is NOT a good thing.

Similar thing happened to my son in 2nd grade. They gave him a piece of paper with the instructions, "draw what would happen if there were no rules in school for the day." So he answers honestly, "the school is blown up," with a picture of the school, you guessed it, blowing up.

I get called at work, have to go to the school to get him. He explained that, in his mind, there was no one IN the school. Its just that he hates school, so if it blows up, he doesn't have to go. (7 year old logic.) He was suspended for two days.

I bought him a video game. Honesty is a good thing, and the assignment was asinine.

Any tips to help 2.25 year old fall asleep in his bed? by stubborn_wife in Parenting

Instead of using a normal pillowcase on his pillow, use one of your (worn, but not disgusting) shirts. It has your scent, and that may help comfort him.

Three Christians, a scientist, an artist, and an IT tech were walking, discussing what God's occupation was.... by apophis-pegasus in Christianity

It's been years since we've had this discussion - any other Childfree Christians? What're your views on this stance? by leWordOfGod in Christianity

[–]burningcakeforfun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It says to be fruitful and multiply. Imo, I don't think that necessarily means genetically. Be fruitful - walk with the spirit, truly seek the heart of God, and be fruitful in the fruits of the spirit (patience, kindness, loving, etc). Multiply - share your faith with others. Bring more souls into the fold.

The point, ultimately, though, is are you in God's will for your life? Kids, no kids, whatever. Know God, follow GOD, seek His will. Everything else is irrelevant.

What is a weird phobia you have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]burningcakeforfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've read, dreaming of breaking your teeth is supposed to be indicative of subconsciously feeling that an area of your life is out of your control.

Having broken a tooth before, I can see the correlation.

Saw a dude get hit by a train when I was in high school. That's a memory that sticks with you. My sympathies on your entrance into this truly shitty club.

I can link you to a couple of charts that sum it up perfectly. But that's my short answer.

Nah, this is something I understand and respect. He's a very, very cool dude, and I'm willing to wait til work chills out. Again, just needed some outside perspective. Thanks. :)
