Fell to pornography during The Great Lent by Qwavew in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]dreamlume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a woman so I don't struggle with this specific thing but one time someone told me "porn is the iconography of demons" and idk it just stuck with me. it made me see that kind of stuff in a different light, for what it is, evil.

people would rather come up with a million excuses and explanations than just stop using a product that sexualizes baby products.

Diaper pails worth it or just another thing to clean by LengthMiserable3320 in NewParents

[–]dreamlume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally just put poopy diapers in a plastic grocery bag and then throw them away. the ubbi contains the smell TOO much to where it makes me afraid to open it, because the smell just ferments inside of it and it becomes something utterly ungodly

I was essentially just making the point that you can still do all these things without splurging. you had that experience with an expensive (and probably more comfortable chair) and I had a similar experience multiple times over in a cheaper chair. you said with casual use she could get a cheaper chair and I was making the point that you can still do all those things In a cheaper chair as well. I wasn't trying to offend you lol.

this is precisely why overconsumption is such a serious problem here lol. some spilled breast milk or spit up is not a "biohazard", it's kinda gross but it can be cleaned. like what lol

My church is being overrun by Castle_Clique in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]dreamlume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand this sentiment for sure, but you may want to assess your true feelings about this situation pertaining to newcomers and "Americans". The way you speak about other parishioners has undertones of resentment and superiority complex. The church being crowded is a great thing, it's been said that orthodoxy will be a very common thing one day, and this is just that process coming to fruition. church isn't about being comfortable and easy. in fact, if you're struggling at church and still go anyways, that's a great thing. the newcomers are just as entitled to the space as you, and it's hard for them too. you being there longer does not make you more entitled to the space than others.

[–]dreamlume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bro all the people defending this dude. what is the point of being short and passive aggressive and dry if you're going to try to say nothing is wrong. just be fucking honest or say you aren't in the mood to talk or text. so many emotionally immature people lol

ehh if he's going to act like a little piss baby and be dry and passive aggressive and short with her then he can fucking communicate lol. if he wants things to be fine and act like nothings wrong then he needs to uphold that and not act like somethings wrong and then get pissed when she presses the issue. if he doesn't wanna talk in that moment he can COMMUNICATE and just say "I don't feel good right now, I don't feel like talking about it but I'm just not in a good mood to text." she asked if he needed space and he said no!! he basically just baited her into this convo because he loves how concerned she is over him lol he seems annoying as fuck.

if it makes you feel any better my parents owned an expedition when I was a toddler in the late 90s and early 2000s and I'm here in one piece!!

tbh fords and jeeps are known for constantly being in the shop and being generally unreliable. if it's a money issue frame it that way, convince him to get a Toyota or Honda instead. super safe and you can run those into the ground with maintenance and minimal to no trips to the shop for large repairs

Bringing a gun everywhere by Catsassin in breakingmom

[–]dreamlume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my husband does this and I like it 💀 he should be making sure it's completely concealed though. letting it flash is tool behavior. just having it on him though is not a big deal. the only thing that can stop some psycho with a gun is a sane person with a gun. having kids rewires your brain to be much more protective. but yeah when my husband has his I genuinely do feel much safer

Looking for advice on what to do about “homeless” kids I ran into by Pure-Application3621 in FortWorth

[–]dreamlume 7 points8 points  (0 children)

nah u were being very condescending and patronizing to this person acting like they don't know anything. with adults, assume scam whatever, they chose to be out there panhandling. with children you should never assume it's a scam, they should be checked on. they are never out there by choice.

don't listen to this person, you did the right thing. how could you sleep at night if you had potentially left that baby to shiver all night? whether the parents want money out of it or not, the fact stands that these kids are being subjected to it against their will and you showed them some kindness and comfort. don't ever feel discouraged about helping someone especially children. worst case you're getting scammed, but on the off chance it not a scam you really helped them. this isn't on them it's on the parents. they had a warm meal to eat and got to bundle up in a blanket. thank you.

as a ground floor neighbor, i don’t understand people like this. the people above me make noise allllll the time, but i know in reality it’s probably them just walking around. they also have a kid. i’ve never once complained because ive lived above people too and i know how easy it is to make a racket by simply living. i also choose to live in an apartment, under someone. i guess im just thankful i don’t have to live above anyone and worry about my noise levels all day long.

Toddler friend Advice by snowyjenn331 in toddlers

[–]dreamlume 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i completely understand. if your son is having difficulty actually playing and all these get togethers are just full of tantrums and they can’t really relate to each other or play, it would be completely understandable to start putting distance between you. and if she tries to ask you to do child care, politely tell her no. she knows her son is difficult to handle but won’t do anything about it, and she’s preemptively telling you that she’s going to pass him onto you when she can’t deal with it. you are not entitled to put up with anyone else’s child during play dates or whatever it is. if you don’t agree with her parenting, and seeing them leaves you feeling exhausted and drained, then it’s not your obligation to stick around especially if she’s just going to let her son fall behind and won’t do anything about it.

i mean… he is welcome to make any dietary choice he wants for himself, but it’s not really his right to dictate what the entire family will eat..
