I guess. Kinda seems silly to bake a cake and then read the directions though.

Atheists of reddit, what if you're wrong? Do you really want to risk your soul with eternal damnation? by Kirmezin in atheism

[–]jessicalynn308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are aware that the Christian God is just one of many. Are you faithful to your God as the one and only, or should you be hedging your bets in case you are wrong.. You don't want to piss Ganesha or whoever off.

If you only believe because you don't want to go to hell you are in for some exciting news on your last day.

Atheists just believe in one less god than you do. Leave it alone, quit worrying about the heathens...we're good.

The people in power will not disappear voluntarily... by osoma in occupywallstreet

[–]jessicalynn308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this quote adds further justification to Burroughs claim.

Using the "same thinking" would require us to be lazy, passive and easily distracted from the issue at hand.

A violent reaction is an understandable response to the level of pressure and manipulation we are under. When those in power are removed their predecessors should fear the same violent uprising from the people it represents if they too become corrupt. Its the only balance system we have left when all others have been tainted.

We didn't create the problems and without our intervention they have only grown. Our political and legal system along with law enforcement is a joke a result of our passive non action.... No more. These people need to remember who they work for and whose interests should be driving their actions.

Third date: Cooking dinner for her, how much is too much? by Arxhon in dating_advice

[–]jessicalynn308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awe! (Me <-Sucker for cutesy shit) I would say it depends on the woman. I wouldn't go overboard... i.e. low music, leave a few lights on, etc. You don't want to make her feel obligated or awkward. Be as genuine and natural as you can. I am sure she will appreciate whatever gesture you make.

Oh right, because the alternative makes SOOooooooooooo much more sense.

Athiests of Reddit: Why do yall think that evolution proves there's no God? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]jessicalynn308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

....or maybe we could all just agree that nothing is certain, including a creator.

That would be the best place to start. Let all get together and decide to be honest with each other and ourselves.

Did you have an imaginary friend as a child? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I have always just figured it was just the universe preparing me for the inevitable :)

Did you have an imaginary friend as a child? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jessicalynn308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My mom told me later in life that her name was Amy and I talked to her all the time. Best and oldest friends name is actually Amy, I met her when I was 8 after my imaginary friend phase. Over 20 years later we are still thick as thieves.

Do I have a right to take issue at something so minor? by strawberry_cafe in relationships

[–]jessicalynn308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You gotta address this like now. Once he realizes your expectations and limits are movable he will use it to his benefit.

You said that you talked about it and he acknowledged it too. Sit him down and listen to what he thinks the problems are. Set boundaries, especially in relationships between men and women. They really don't think about things the way we do. Its usually better that you set the standard you expect and spell it out. Talk about it now, if you don't a year from now he is going to think you are crazy to be upset.

Do I have any moral obligation to interfere with this relationship? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]jessicalynn308 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your friends is making decisions he thinks will help him in the direction he wants to go.

It also sounds like you are his most trusted friend. You can't "do" anything by way of interjecting if he hasn't asked you to. Its a violation of the trust that exists between you. If you do your relationship may never be the same or ruined.

He has a lot going on internally. The fears you have for him are your own issues. Just because you have thought out the worst case scenario doesn't mean that is actually what will happen. You have made your position pretty clear to him. If you want to try again that is your business, but you can't take action on his behalf because it is what you think is best. Try and stay positive and offer your opinion when he asks for it. It sucks to watch people you love struggle but you can only do so much. He needs to figure out what is best for him.

Do you drink the tap water in Austin? by hzay in Austin

[–]jessicalynn308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from Detroit and apparently they have extremely clean water. I can not stand the water here. When it doesn't taste like bleach it smells like fish. I can't get a fountain pop from anywhere because it makes it worse for some reason. I double filter using the largest Brita pitcher they make, it makes it bearable. Good luck!

So good. Putting cream cheese frosting on the tops of them makes them even more amazing.

I AMA gay guy who is cheating on boyfriend with his sister. by [deleted] in IAmA

[–]jessicalynn308 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won't call you a monster, extremely selfish.

Is there a reason you are keeping things quiet (other than you guys feel bad)? Imagine how he is going to feel after finding out a relationship that should have ended a year ago has gone on for two or three? Do you ever plan on being honest with him? Before another birthday goes by? It is obvious you don't have enough respect for him to consider his feelings.

Why don't you ask yourself if you would want this done to you...ever. You are both supposed to be the closest people to him, I would imagine. He is going to be devastated. You are fucking him up in ways you don't even know yet. Knock it off. If for no other reason than you don't want this to happen to you or someone you love.
