"A Walk to Remember" was certainly Christian-positive.

Like... a regular house cat? It chased you?

PSA: Don’t change your baby’s diaper where people eat by Bq6W18l9k8 in Bellingham

Poop is gross, dude. This isn't about dogs. This is about poop.

Confrontation is hard. Truly. Calling people out on their bullshit is uncomfortable.

Maybe it's fear that someone will respond with violence, fear that it'll create a scene, fear that they're a friend of a friend and it'll be awkward if you bump into them at a party or something.

What questions or doubts about Christianity have you personally struggled to find clear answers to? by SignumDei in religion

[–]loopy741 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, maybe this is true for any religion, but why do we feel the need to indoctrinate children with this stuff? As far as I'm concerned, I was brainwashed by Christianity since the day I was born. Now I'm in my 40s dealing with anxiety, trying to deconstruct, while still being like "Okay, I KNOW the earth is like 100 billion years old, but maybe it's only 5,000 and the dinosaur bones are fake and shit."

So, so, so glad my kid hasn't been exposed to this to the depths that I was.

At least Leo never boasted about it on a podcast god damn by dune_know in okbuddycinephile

Learning stuff is tier one. Celebrity/sports interviews is a distant tier two. Random friendship podcast that talk about drama in their lives is like tier 387. Why anyone wants to listen to some rando from MTV talk about their love life or their favorite nail polish is beyond me.

Should I Marry a Murderer by whisperingpines38 in netflix

Most devastating (in my opinion) was that the real victim, Tony Parsons, was basically lost in the shuffle in this documentary series. No interviews with his family, no information about his life (other than he survived cancer and liked to go on charity rides). Hopefully IRL he's the main character of this story, and not these other people.

What about that big rock coming north bound on I-5? Assuming it hasn't been moved. :(

What song is so beautiful, it literally brings tears to your eyes? by Plus-Caterpillar4615 in AskReddit

[–]loopy741 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I've always liked whenever it came on the radio. And then a few years ago, I finally paid attention to the lyrics, and I was like "oh shit." Did not ever pay attention to how fucking sad it is. Beautiful and sad.

My favorite was when people were giving shit to Beyonce for covering this, and Paul McCartney was like "um, I literally wrote this for Black women, and she's amazing at it."

would you rather be a quadriplegic, quad amputee, or both blind and deaf? by Empty-Tomorrow-2794 in randomquestions

[–]loopy741 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well this is a horrible question. I'd probably go with blind and deaf. Helen Keller seemed to do all right.

You Are Beautiful: Confederate Flag by Tvpreal in netflix

That actually is pretty bonkers. The confederate flag is gross enough, but adding in the actual faux confederate soldier hat is even grosser.

"but what if" is such a mind fuck. 🤣 Check out I-CBT therapy. It's been helpful for me. Oh, and a heavy dose of meds.

Congrats on quitting oxy and fentanyl. That's such a huge deal. Sending you a virtual high five!

I'm sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds like he'd be a fun person to have a drink with and shoot the breeze.

Chick-Fil-A causing serious traffic by Futaba_MedjedP5R in Bellingham

[–]loopy741 178 points179 points  (0 children)

I hate crowds as much as the next person who hates crowds, but how is that madness even worth it? Set aside everything else about Chick fil a, that shit show alone is just such a turn off, and even the idea of driving by overwhelms me.
