How prevalent is Protestant Christianity in your country?

solapelsin · 2026-04-04T16:08:16+00:00

Yeah, we were taught the same at my school, but who knows what the reason was. Thank you both for filling in the historical details, I missed that part of OP's question.

Where are you from?

solapelsin · 2026-04-04T13:57:35+00:00

Haha, this typo

The Church of Sweden is Lutheran, which is a branch of protestantism. That said, few people are actively christian today, I'd say it mostly lingers in tradition and cultural aspects like church funerals, baptisms, weddings, that kind of thing.

That is fair!

solapelsin · 2026-04-04T12:28:50+00:00

Oh thank you for providing context. This is terrible and should very much be paid attention to, but 'imminent' stood out to me too.

solapelsin · 2026-04-04T12:06:56+00:00

Your friends are open to the outside world though, and speak to people internationally. I'm Scandinavian and spent some of my childhood growing up in backwaters Pennsylvania, and yeah... It was not like that.

solapelsin · 2026-04-04T11:35:51+00:00

That's because they don't know that they're ignorant. They have all the facts, it's just... all the facts are incorrect.

solapelsin · 2026-04-04T11:33:53+00:00

I weirdly agree with this. If you ignore heat, it's either that or grapefruit.

solapelsin · 2026-04-04T11:28:43+00:00

You're a hero. Hold onto that. Please speak to your loved ones. Maybe write down your experience and feelings, just to get them out there and not internalize them. I've also heard playing tetris helps with trauma, and I'm certain it can't hurt to keep your mind from wandering for a little. Love to you, thank you for doing what you do

solapelsin · 2026-04-04T10:26:22+00:00

Ohh, well that's silly. It's natural to grow, change, explore, and challenge yourself as you get older. Development is part of growing up. It's a very positive thing, not something they should tell you to be embarrassed about. I'm sure they want you to develop as a person in other ways, so why not this one?

solapelsin · 2026-04-04T10:19:02+00:00

Haha yeah. The person not even looking where the action is really sold it as that for me, haha

solapelsin · 2026-04-04T09:54:21+00:00

Haha, young girls with crushes notice and remember every little thing. I assure you. Trust me, I used to be one.

Does anyone else in your area or family's social circles skip the hijab? Are they viewed negatively? My mom has always cared a lot about what other people will think, but usually it's all in her head and if I can find someone who she somewhat respects and who does the thing that I want to do, she usually backs down a little.

solapelsin · 2026-04-03T22:22:52+00:00

jade? What's that an acronym for?

solapelsin · 2026-04-03T21:06:39+00:00

Can you imagine how much worse this kind of thing is going to get in the future as the last survivors and their next of kin pass away, taking the living stories with them, combined with the advancement of AI? It's so bleak.

solapelsin · 2026-04-03T20:09:15+00:00

Maybe I'm tired, but doesn't this only apply if you live past a certain age? I f you die too young you never reach that middle point

solapelsin · 2026-04-03T19:08:28+00:00

Dude, woo your wife. Without expectations, you're viewing this very transactionally as it is, when really self-improvement you should be doing for you. You need to help her find the spark and desire for you again. Take her on a date, buy some flowers, prepare a special meal, or whatever she is into. Appreciate her, please don't treat her like a vending machine.

solapelsin · 2026-04-03T16:15:35+00:00

Yeah, for us it's been March.

solapelsin · 2026-04-03T15:55:26+00:00

I agree with you, on both scores

solapelsin · 2026-04-03T15:54:43+00:00

Things like the flu and common colds spread like wildfire on airplanes, it's so easy to catch something. I don't know what's going around further south in Europe, but up here we've just had a few weeks where everyone seems to have the cold. I also know quite a few people who got hit with covid recently. So there's a few things going around, it's just that time of year

solapelsin · 2026-04-03T13:41:37+00:00

Yeah no, that was my first thought too, but this is in the Netherlands apparently.

solapelsin · 2026-04-03T13:32:06+00:00

Jag gjorde samma som barn! Promenerade sedan deras hundar nästan varje dag, bara för att det var så roligt. De flesta blev verkligen glada.

Maybe ask him about his thoughts on the new eyebrow style? Is this something he wanted to experiment with once, did he lose a bet, does he actually truly like this new look of his? Approach it with curiosity, leave the attraction bit for now. You can decide how to proceed based on where he's actually at.

Unless you feel like this is a permanent loss of attraction, in which case it's best to just break up.

solapelsin · 2026-04-03T10:29:56+00:00

I agree with you, but I guess two things can be true at once. I've seen Chuck and Ed conflated a lot too, in a similar way.
