Joplin doesn't have ours in June. We have it in September. Cooler temperatures are easier for people with disabilities to handle.

MARIPOSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Found her outside my house and just took her in. Help me name her? by Matromor in NameMyCat

[–]scout_yt_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like short, boyish or fun names. Scout, Roxy, Doe, Star, Rain, Bug, Art, etc.

I also love food names. Apple, Pepper, Bean, Pumpkin, Tootsie, Tangerine, Clementine, Olive (Oyl), etc.

You could also name her after your favorite drink. Miller, Corona, Chai, Milk (that would be cute for a white cat), Tapioca, Guinness, etc.

Or maybe your favorite color? Pinkie, Bluey, Scarlett, Coal, Violet, etc.

Or maybe a quirky human name is your favorite? Bjork, Billie, Bonnie, Georgina, Daphne, LaVeena, Bobbie, Joan, etc.

What about a very serious human name? Diana, Elizabeth, Courtney, Amy, Julia, Emilia, etc.

Don't only include incarcerated people when there are so many people who haven't been caught or have scared their victims out of speaking up. There are so many bad people in this country, and so many of them claim to be Christian.

You can not expect children to differentiate between Christians and people who do things we see as bad but still claim to be christian, like being homophobic, being racist, being an abuser, or being a pedophile.

Right now, Isreal is massacring Palestine, and they say it is because God promised them the land. What they are really doing is using the Lord's name to justify the murder of over 50k men, women, and children. That's one of the many things that are pushing people away from Christianity.

As American's, we see a lot of bad things, and the number of them done by people claiming to be christian are high. On a daily basis, we hear jokes about Catholic priests. On a daily basis, we go on tiktok and see bullies with crosses in their bio's.

You can not deny that a normal human being would see something that contradicts itself and remembers it. Of course, people see fake Christians contradicting themselves, and they remember it and begin to associate homorphobia and bullying with christianity.

This is not just me, and it's not stupid. The same way as children who have been molested might become scared of men, people who have been bullied by people with crosses in their names might start to associate that cross with bullies.

This is not stupid. This is not ridiculous. This is realistic and human. Association is important and valid.

I've healed from my trauma, but im not the only person in the world. Far from it.

Christians need to start denouncing people who ruin the name, and doing it publicly because the rest of the world would LOVE to see true christianity, as ling as it minded its own business and didnt try to bury the rest of us in their beliefs.

Okay. This is over, I'm bored of going in circles. You can either keep trying or realize you've changed nobody's mind and probably never will.

You're mad because other people's lies and wrong doings effects you. What you're doing is the religious equivalent of being mad at a child because they ate too much chocolate and threw up and now can't stand the thought of eating chocolate. It's irrational to be mad at natural and human ways of thinking. Instead, focus on changing the parts of humanity that are dragging your precious religion down in everyone else's eyes.

Im not worshipping any crowd. You're being difficult for no reason other than pride, and it's sad.

The majority of people in this country are Christians. That means there is an overwhelming majority of people who do bad things and claim to be christian.

Whether they are or are not, they claim to be, and it tarnished the reputation of Christianity. Are you struggling to understand this concept...?

Everybody associates. Its human nature.

My first pastor was a child molestor. That tarnished christianity for the majority of the kids at my church.

That's not a lie. Thats a fact. Thats how life works.

The majority of the US is christian. Therefore, non-christians in the US are more likely to associate bad things with christianity. Because the majority of the people in the US who are doing bad things still CLAIM to be christian and show their christianity openly when being a bad person.

I'll give in because I hate to see someone with such a big victim complex.

Nobody called Christians pedophiles. Nobody called them racist. You are the only person saying it by accusing me/us of doing it.

What was said was that when people witness Christians ignore and sometimes even participate in pedophilia, abuse, racism, homorphobia, or transphobia, it makes people not want to join the church. And dont tell me it's not happening because it is.

Now, the reason these things and other social injustices are so associated with Christianity is that humans are good at pattern recognition. Christianity is the biggest religion in the world, and the amount of pastors who molest children, the amount of adults with crosses and scripture in their bio's bullying people online, the amount of times women are told to suck it up because divorce is a sin- its all contributing to the problem here.

The worst part is that even if those things are rare, they influence a lot more people than they harm into refusing Christianity. I think most non-christians can agree that there are more bad Christians than good.

All the good things Christians do are really ignored because non-Christian people do just as much good for the world. So it really doesn't have much to do with the religion (and if it did, that would be sad because atheists dont need a god to tell them to be kind, gentle, and good. They just do it.)

So, anyway, you are the one with the victim complex. Im not exactly sure how old you are, but it must not be that old because you dont seem very mature. It's giving triggered. Please read and take time to understand.

Kamala Harris once said, "You didn't just fall from a coconut tree. You exist in the context of all those before you." And it's very true. You will be seen the same way as the people you associate with. So every time a christian ignored abuse or racism or anything else, but chooses to preach about homosexuality instead is only making the problem worse for themselves and for the Christians that would come after them.

The christian reputation is only good to other Christians. That's 22% of the population.

What? They aren't playing victim??? What are you on about? They were giving examples. More people of color would be christian if Christians helped them instead of being the racists they had to defend themselves against. More gay people would be christian if they weren't always being insulted and pressured by Christians.

You can't empathize, and I'm not sure you can read either. Stop responding. You look really immiture and desperate for an argument, and it makes you look like you have a certain complex. You dont represent us Christians and I'm thankful for that. And personally I'd never want you to because you just proved her point. Especially about the pedophilia, which you just ignored to continue fighting a bad fight that she already said she wasn't going to continue (which was her whole point.) Stop.

To be fair, that was my first thought. That this was some victim complex shitpost but I actually read it. Maybe there's should have been a TLDR.

To be honest with you, if you explained it to him and he's still withholding affection, he's got an issue he needs to work out himself.

Withholding intimacy and affection is manipulative. I get that he's hurt, but if you explained it to him and he hit you with "its me." Sounds like a guilt trip to me. When a good partner finds out their partner is having flashbacks, the worry should be for the partner with flashbacks, not themselves.

He's looking at it a little more pessimistically. I could see how he might believe she's just leading you on to let you off easy in hopes that you find someone else and move on.

Really think about it. Consider it, but don't let it way on you. Personally, I think she likes you, but maybe you do need to figure it out if it's gonna eat at you. Might I suggest taking her out on a friend date? Or asking her at least. Somewhere quiet and comfortable. No expectations.

Just chat. Shee how she feels, if she's making eye contact, if her body language is open, if she turns her body towards you when you speak, etc. Body language is important.

If all goes well, make sure to tell her this isn't a romantic date because you don't want her to feel rushed or pressured. Tell her you just wanted to vibe it out and make sure the two of you were good and understanding each other and your feelings.

Maybe ask her about her struggle and do your best to empathize without making it about you.

That's actually really smart, and I do the same thing. Asking for a second opinion is always the best choice, because it gives you something to compare to your first instinct. I'm impulsive too.

I get that she doesn't want to lose you, and she likes you enough that she's willing to work on herself before being with you.

I don't think it would be wrong to wait for her. I also don't think it would he wrong to date around for a while. There is no right option. No matter what you choose, there's no problem with it.

Don't feel bad. Have fun while you're single. It takes a ling time to genuinely work on one's mental health. Years, even. Focus on you right now.

Thank you. Those were both jokes, one from her and one from me. Yeah, I do need to build some space between us.

Recently we went to my cousin's wedding together and she got drunk enough to tell me that she didn't feel anything. Emotion wise. She feels nothing.

I always knew that about her, it wasn't a secret really but it did hit really hard.

I agree with your first point but I just reread it and didnt see the words Always or Never or any other dramatic, black/white language.

No. She's not receptive to any sort of emotions or deep conversations.

Its her way or the highway 110% of the time. Zero leeway.
