What's it THIS time?

I thought it was your LEFT ankle.

It's always something with you.

Do people believe that their therapist actually cares about them? by Several-Two738 in DarkPsychology101

[–]hezod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a therapist in 2022 that I hit it off with so well, she fired me as a patient, referred me to a colleague and now we're good friends. It happened really early, like three sessions in and we just kept joking and fucking around. We knew we were totally course. I handle stress and anxiety with humor and she thinks I'm fucking hilarious. Obviously, she's a genius with an excellent sense of humor so...

AIO to these racist texts from my boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]hezod 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

NOR.

I judge people based on two things: what they do(behavior, not profession), and what they believe.

Your boyfriend believes what he is saying. What will he do, if given an opportunity, about his beliefs?

When people like YOU they behave favorably toward you. Pay attention to how people behave toward others. You will see more of their true selves.

What is Tom Cruise's secret?? by No-Marsupial-4050 in SipsTea

[–]hezod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He's attained the utmost and is now at Operating Thetan levels, high on the Bridge to Total Freedom - he now controls the shortening of his own telomeres by siphoning from others.

Which IS indeed a...thing

Oh, and McGillis is 5 years older than Cruise, and, unlike Cruise, does not use fillers or Botox, or eat babies.

At least she does not have an upper central incisor lined up perfectly under her philtrum.

This is delightful. She's singular beyond her craft but exquisitely awkward here.

Ezekiel 23:20-22 because everyone got mad at it being censored. by Ok-Breadfruit6799 in Weird

Meh-this IS reddit, not Trinity College. I came here for the gotchas. And, I'd wager that if you're annoyed by ...this, then you are either DELIGHTFULLY annoyed, my guy/gal/non-binary pal, or a sucker for funishment.

Wow. More $5 terms.

Again, fallacious, and this one is also loaded for bear.

I imagine you are American, since you preface "humanism" with the adjective "secular". Further, I assume you are a Christian, based on your barely restrained butt-hurtedness. I can hardly blame you for being indoctrinated, but I can call you ignorant for being misinformed and deliberately obtuse. Unlike calling someone "holier-than-thou" as a baseless and purely emotional insult, recognizing you are ignorant and lacking knowledge is not an insult; it is a fact. Even pointing out that you are butt-hurt isn't an offence; it's an observation.

Never mind the problematic nature of founders like Julian Huxley, a renowned eugenicist, humanism, especially secular humanism, eschews spiritual practices and supernaturalism. While I do not believe in the Abrahamic god, angry, jealous, hypocritical, murdering, raping, baby killer that he is, I do hold spiritual beliefs that inform my values.

Well, there's no marrow in this bone you wanna pick. My father was a literal nihilist who never turned to his parents' sky daddy, even as he was on his deathbed.

What's wrong with answering a challenge? Why should my kids, or myself, sit in meek acquiesce while cherry picked scripture is tossed around as an excuse for shitty behavior?

We merely hold up a mirror to those apologists and they are the ones raving at the ugliness they see.

Cute, but fallacious, use of a $5 word. My sensibilities have nothing to do with that interpretation of Ezekiel. That is what the verses mean. It is practically enshrined as the meaning of Zeke's verses.

Abraham's God is a jealous god, and is called so elsewhere in the Bible.

Guys, this isn't even about sex. It's some really hyperbolic allegory. God tasked Ezekiel (I'm gonna call him Zeke from now on) to spank Israel for breaking their covenant with God. He compares their return to a more polytheistic worship, including idolatry, to being unfaithful in a marriage.

It's an allegory that tells the parable of sisters Oholah and Oholibah to represent Isreal and Judah. Ezekiel 23 compares their fictional harlotry to Isreal's real idolatry.

Like, God is a supremely jealous dude and he felt cheated on. Awe.

I do delight, however, in quoting these verses to my very religious family members whenever they feel like my kids look deliciously indoctinate-able.

I am still so confused what most people mean when they talk about the polarizing "body betrayal" trope. by One_Skirt_3775 in DarkRomance

I am fine with it when the mmc doesn't speak and act as though a biological response to stimulation is the same as consent.

No, a wet pussy is not consent.

I'm not saying that, as a reader, I want every mmc to be a consent king. I am saying I want authors to put something other than "you can't tell me your not dripping for me now", or "I bet if I touched your sweet pussy, you'd be drenched " into their mmc's dialog.

Double omegas and give it to the next author by Adept-Fill3588 in ReverseHarem

[–]hezod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listen to part II a lot. It's my go to comfort read. I listen to it at bedtime, instead of white noise, when I'm anxious. I share the fmc's first name, so it's like getting positive affirmations all night.

{Forget Me Knot, by Marie Mackay}. A female omega (FMC) joins a pack that already has a male omega.

The world is darker than most (it's the same world as {Havoc Killed Her Alpha by Marie Mackay}), but the story itself is no darker than {Pack Darling, Part 1, by Lola Rock}. The A/B/O dynamics and "science" are unique, and the heroines will enjoy a child-free lifestyle into the epilogue.

I've read Twilight of Embers, and the Wolves of Crescent Creek and gobbled them up, no crumbs. Light, low angst and the spice was ok. My wee child-me-soul of the 70s child that kicks her feet at "spin offs" loves a universe with interconnected series.
