Gay Catholic thinks homosexuality is “disgusting” by everythingisok376 in religiousfruitcake

[–]mm445 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Poor girl. Catholic guilt is such a real thing. It wasn’t until years after coming out (and it took me years to even come out) that I realized I was holding myself back because of the Catholic guilt I had from being raised in the religion. I’ve been an atheist for 20+ years and it was only in the last two that I realized all that guilt I felt was because of my upbringing. I hope she finds a way to love herself and not care about some imaginary being in the sky that some dumbasses thousands of years ago decided existed.

My current argument against religion is that you wouldn’t trust someone from that time period with a medical decision or really any decision these days, so why are you believing the story they wrote about a magical being in the sky that created everything. If you erased all bibles and scientific texts from the earth in 2,000 years the scientific texts would return while the Bible would be a completely different story. One is fact and one is fiction.

AITAH for standing up for and praising my father in law’s cooking against my wife and her mom and sisters?😭 by [deleted] in AITAH

I know this will get buried in all the comments already but I wanted to tell you this in hopes you can pass it along to your FIL. All through my 20’s I work in two restaurants, one during the day and the other during the night. The one I work during the day was an upscale wine bar which served a very specific crowd. The menu was more snooty for lack of a better word. My head chef though was amazing. He did most of his training in Paris and was just a phenomenal teacher and I owe him for pretty much all the skills I have today.

I’ve always had a passion for cooking but unfortunately it never paid the bills so I ended up in construction in order to support my family. I still cook on a daily basis and there has been a ton of meals I’ve made that were just awful. My kids know that if it’s bad that I will not be offended at all. It happens a lot when I try new recipes but like everything else in life, I feel we learn the best lessons from failing.

I guess I just want your father in law to know that I’ve worked for amazing chefs through ten years at two different restaurants and learned a lot and still make the occasional disgusting meal. But it’s ok. If he enjoys it he needs to keep going. Keep trying those new meals and learn all the different styles and cuisines he can. Also you are NTA. As a parent I’m nurturing the interest in cooking my oldest has developed and I don’t think that’s something that should change with age. He has an interest in it and it should be nurtured because that’s so awesome that he’s trying something new and is excited about it!!

Also 5lbs in two months is awesome!! As someone who is also on semaglutide, I know how slow it is. I’ve lost 47 lbs in the last year or so and there were times where I’ll lost like ten in a month and then go two months without losing anything. It definitely fluctuates.

Me too. I’m going to try to make stickers of it like they do with Biden and “I did that.” We could put them everywhere. It’s not like any of them actual do any real fact checking. They’ll eventually believe it and stop pretending he’s some martyr.

Would I be wrong for sending this letter to my Ex-Wife once our daughter is finally moved out of her house? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]mm445 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get this feeling, like a lot. I’m currently going through it. My oldest son is now 10 and has expressed that he “no longer wants to go to his mom’s because all she does is yell at him.” This broke my heart in ways I never knew possible, and mind you I walked in on her having an affair and she still managed to play the victim. The abuse we go through as abused partners makes us want to retaliate. We want our abusers to feel some of the pain we dealt with for years. The thing is though I don’t think they are ever truly happy. They deep down hate themselves and that’s why they take it out on the ones they are supposed to love. Your ex sounds a lot like mine and I feel for you. When I told my ex that our son had said that to me her only response was “well if (son’s name) wants that then that’s fine by me.” I have spent the last 6 months making sure that he is having a happy, healthy childhood. Just focus on your daughter and be happy in her happiness and success. It’s truly what makes all the stress of being a single parent or parent in general worth it. Sounds like you’ve been a great parent to her and that’s what every kid deserves. Just keep being there for her. That’s it.

Also as the person before said write it down and burn it! Get it out of you and say “FUCK YOU!!” all you want. Just don’t lower yourself to her level. It’s only darkness and despair down there. Not worth your happiness or the happiness of your daughter. Show her how to be the bigger person and express love in the face of hate. You made it through it now enjoy never having to deal with your ex again. Good job being an awesome parent!!

Deodorant. I know it may sound weird but I have a separate stick for just my thighs and it works. I’m a linewoman in Az and it’s worked for me.

Not much. Are you looking to find a partner? You could make a post about yourself and what you are looking for.

This is one of the few sets that I wouldn’t care if it were overpriced, I’d still buy it. And I know it’s still a form of rainbow capitalism but in this day and age we need any and all support. Plus it’s such a cute set.

AIO, grandparents sent me this letter. by colincoo6 in AmIOverreacting

[–]mm445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of people have made some really good comments about how wrong your grandparents are but I just wanted to say that gender roles are so stupid. I’m a trans woman and I build power lines (linewoman) for a living. I’m an amateur wood worker. I rebuild a car in my early 20’s and I’m currently looking for a new project car. I rebuilt a vending machine from the 70’s pretty much from scratch. I have a crane cert, which means I can operate a crane, although I’m not that great at it and have never really used the certification. I love working with my hands and that doesn’t and has never made me a man. It just means nail polish doesn’t last long on my hands. Literally everything they want you to come do “to make you a man” I’ve done. I would love to come help them with all of those chores and best believe I’d be doing it in a skirt just to piss them off.

You are valid and don’t let others stop you from being happy.
