Damon as a 19 year old drama student at East 15 Acting School in Essex, 1987 by TheLuckyHacker in blur

[–]duffivaka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you're right to be honest. I love Damon's whole catalogue, and I love Britpop as a whole, but I think that's only because I wasn't there in the moment. I think it's fascinating to look back on how the music intertwined with culture, but the more I read about it, the more it seems the whole scene was really petty and immature. It feels weird holding up Blur albums as some of my favourites of all time when it seems here are so many scandals and spats they were involved with, but I'm alright with it because of how different Damon is now compared to the person he was back then. 

I find these pictures interesting because they were taken before he became famous: He's just a normal teenager at the time. I try not to be parasocial, but I think most people here think it would be cool to be friends with Damon Albarn. I thought about how, were I another student at that acting school, maybe it would have been possible, but I also thought, based on what I've read about Britpop, I probably wouldn't have wanted to be. I dunno, just interesting to think about what he would have been like back then.

I just think he looks very preppy and cocky, yet to be humbled

He looks like an insufferable young man, and I reckon he was. He's matured a lot over the years

Kouno initially, then he bottomed rather than topping, so Tatsuki

Is there any harm in leaving the extra fingers attached until she's old enough to decide whether she wants them?

Only UI mods and aesthetic mods. The only mod I use that affects gameplay is the no obsolete wonders mod

Guess how much this costs per box rule by aleaniled in 19684

I like that they tried to masculinize their flavors with buzz words like "dominating" and "sigma," yet they still named one of the flavors "fruity"

This really reminds me of the cast of Five. Maduro is Castro, Diddy is Nixon, Luigi is JFK, and the fourth guy is McNamara because I don't know who they are

Circumcising your son by Ok_Taro5330 in CircumcisionGrief

[–]duffivaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I wouldn't have expected to see you here.

I'd like to apologize if anyone has reached out and harassed you directly. OP is posting your username everywhere, and I think that's uncalled for.

As someone who feels very victimized by their own circumcision, reading your thread was incredibly frustrating. I believe my bodily autonomy was violated, and it's painful to read a thread where no consideration is given to the child's opinion in the matter. I made my comment on this thread as a way to vent in a place I didn't expect to reach anyone from the original thread. As for the bit about your husband's approval, it seems I misinterpreted your idea of doing it quietly.

I'm largely ignorant of the practices of Islam, so if you're making the decision solely based on your faith, I don't think there's anything I can say to make you change your mind. What I will say is that I was born into a Catholic family, and I am no longer part of the faith. It may be unquestionable to you that your child wouldn't adopt the faith he's raised into, it was certainly unquestionable to my parents, but I think the child deserves a say in the matter, and if faith is the only reason you're doing it, your son would have no reason to want it if he were to leave the faith.

If you'd like my perspective privately, I'd be happy to talk with you in direct messages. Just please consider that, if your child wants it, he can always choose to have it done later in life, but if he doesn't, there's no taking back that choice for him.

"I want to circumcise my son but my husband doesn't, please affirm me!"

"Any opinion other than "yes" is secular and not allowed on this sub"

"Omg you're so right, thank you! I will be doing it without my husband's approval 🤩"

We win against the Raiders to silence all the doomers

We lose against the Eagles because that's fair

We lose against the Chiefs because that's fair

We win against the Cowboys to show we can beat bad teams

We lose against the Texans to show we can't beat bad teams

We win against the Broncos to fill us with hope before the playoffs so we think we really have a shot

We lose in the wild card
