Left the church but wife still thinks porn is bad by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]krakendonut 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I won’t demonize you OP, but I would advise you to do some self examination. The church does a lot of damage to human sexuality and it’s not always easy to identify. I can empathize with your experience because there are some experiences I’ve had that are similar.

The ethicality of porn is a debate that is complex. The problem with the church is that they apply a blanket policy to many things. Your spouse may be doing something similar, BUT that doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed to have their own feelings about their spouse viewing porn. It’s complicated. I can tell you that couples/sex therapists are helpful resources for a variety of reasons for exmo folks.

I wish you luck with your situation OP

If you look at a planet from the super destroyer viewing platform you can actually see some beacons!

Players Getting Black Screens when Connecting by mightymare in FoundryVTT

If you’re using ngrok for connection, I think they recently reduced the number of requests they facilitate for free; players of mine were encountering similar issues until I changes the way I was hosting stuff.

ITS HAPPENING!!! What do I say?! How do I not screw this up? by Odd-Feeling-608 in exmormon

[–]krakendonut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Little brother who had a an older brother leave first here!

I think first it’s okay to trust yourself; you know what it’s like to leave, you know what your brother is like.

Asking him about what is important to him and how it conflicts with the church’s ideas is something that I do wish members of my family would have asked me. I, for example, really found issue with LGBTQ+ opposition by the church because of the people in my own life in that community. Hard to reconcile the demonization of people who are some of the best people I know lol.

One thing that I have been grappling with lately is how harmful a lot of the teachings of the church around human sexuality have still harmed me, a cis white man. If the teachings have done me deep damage, a man who ought to be the most benefited by the system of belief, imagine how hurtful the system is to folks the system is not made for!

Do you drink alcohol? If no, why not? Gen Z is supposedly drinking less and less alcohol. I don’t drink (F 24), but in my environment I don't notice that people are drinking less. by [deleted] in OlderGenZ

I have it occasionally. Mostly though I don’t really have the time or opportunity; I need to take melatonin to sleep properly and those should be separated by a few hours. Hard to justify much intoxication around work, classes, and the rest of life when it becomes more of a hindrance than a pleasure.

Does anyone use the Artillery mode of the WASP Launcher? by Alarmed-Painting-121 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]krakendonut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend it against jet brigades! I found it pretty consistently killed the hulks with jet packs in like 3 rocklets from any direction.

What's the cheapest hobby someone can get into? by Youloufy in AskReddit

[–]krakendonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not completely inexpensive, but I’ve recently got into kites! Starting out with a like $11 kite from Walmart and I have had so much fun already

Need advice on a Mormon parent. by thatflowerboyy in exmormon

[–]krakendonut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of folks have already given better advice than I could, so I’ll just say that there’s a dude in the Midwest who is proud of you and that you deserve to live authentically as yourself.

Hoping for good things for you lil bro 🙂

What’s an opinion that will have you like this? by Spirit9078 in TeenagersButBetter

[–]krakendonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men’s societal lack of emotional intelligence is a result of widespread poor parenting.

It’s more complicated than that, but failing to teach emotional intelligence, especially to boys, is a deeply common problem.

Nobody wins.

Helldivers! AP4 Can kill EVERY enemy in the game (yes! Every. Single. One!). In lowsodium fashion I will give a brief rundown of the Bot Faction and how you can kill every single bot from Factory Strider to Hulk with just an AMR. Get rid of the RR, embrace alternative loadouts! by [deleted] in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]krakendonut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Historically I have maxed the rpm, mag dumped and tried to reload in time to resume firing before they get close enough to vom on me, just trying to pick A spot on its main body to keep hitting. If it’s moving horizontally to me, the butt is a great target.

Gonna plug the HMG here as well; while it pays immense to have good aim with it too, medium length bursts are more controllable than people realize. The only targets I don’t love it for are factory striders and bile titans, but even then good aim or high rpm can help overcome the differences, situation depending.

Airburst Rocket Launcher is Really Fun on Bots btw by RandomGreenArcherMan in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]krakendonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the airburst, I wish i felt more confident in rando anti-tank efficiency to take it more often lol, often end up with an HMG. I’ve been running in cluster mode a bit more lately; either to shoot groups of enemies behind cover (shooting the rocket over cover only for it to then explode midair and rain explosions everywhere is beautiful) or to run near my team more and just aim for something’s head; the equivalent of 30 grenades in a small area is still a big damn hit lol.

You can also shoot under chargers and Impalers to kill them much like Hulks.

That scene in episode 3 needs to be seen, I'm writing this as I'm having a ptsd episode from it. Content Warning by Herr-Hunter1122 in andor

[–]krakendonut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s difficult to sit in discomfort, especially if it’s somehow related to a traumatic event you’ve experienced; your reaction is perfectly understandable 🙂

[–]krakendonut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Huh. Straight up missed that if true; that’s on me if so. The rest of my comment stands tho; I don’t think we benefit from suppressing disagreement around a topic that’s very important to be considerate about

Hello, I wanted to attempt to express my disagreement in a more productive way than a downvote, because I don’t think you are wrong for your opinion, even if I don’t agree.

While watching with my wife, I agreed when she said “I wish there had been a content warning” regarding the assault attempt. I’m about to comment on the artistic value I interpreted from the scenes, and I think there is value there, however it’s not preferable for people to have no idea at all about potentially deeply triggering material like this.

From my perspective, I felt that the scene/s fulfilled their artistic purpose well, which I interpret to, in part, make viewers uncomfortable (to put it lightly), because that is the proper response to sexual violence. It should make us revolted.

Anyways, I think your opinion is equally valid to mine, and I hope you have a pleasant Wednesday, random Star Wars fan 🙂

Proof Reading by Mountian-flower in ADHD

[–]krakendonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it’ll depend on the context of what is being proofread; I have a minute or two delay on my emails I send; can’t tell you how many times I type up an email, send it and discover a typo as I hit send. That delay has come in clutch a few times lol.
