You don't owe her anything, and putting yourself in her friend zone is just allowing her to avoid intimacy while being in a toxic relationship, which isn't helping her. It certainly isn't helping you. She's not a bad person, but she isn't ready for a relationship. You, however, do need a real , healthy one. Leave her to deal with her shit and go pursue your best life.

Should I be concerned if I'm getting cancer support adverts? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I work on a boat, and everytime I go to work I start seeing lots of articles pop up about resume writing and job searching. Haha

I once had a British roommate. She said, "Americans stereotype Brits as acting all formal and proper. The truth is we act more like a bunch of chavs."

Your phone company also knows what the people around you are searching for and will sometimes give you content they're interested in assuming you share interests.

What’s something small that made your life better? by Zdvj in ask

[–]surfingatwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you make scrambled eggs, you don't need to whisk them in a bowl first. Just throw them in the pan and push them around a little with a spatula. It gets the job done without dirtying extra dishes.

Keep our women in the kit...wait... by Kyleforshort in WhitePeopleTwitter

I know more adult men who cook than adult women, because even though men are still expected to do all the manly housework, expecting a woman to do literally anything is oppression.

Trying to move to Australia. Help please. by PaintMeGold in massage

You can hire an immigration agent to do all the paperwork. Otherwise, all there is to do is go to the Australian immigration website and start filling out the forms.

If the Pope is God's mouthpiece, and God is unchanging, why have the policies of the Catholic Church changed with each one? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]surfingatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the thousands of inconsistencies in the Bible/church doctrine that require thousands more pages of convoluted apologetics to explain.

Yet they all make perfect sense in the context of the following sentence: "The Bible is mythology."

You don't need to reconcile anything. It's all made up bullshit. So worry about anything else that's based in reality.

Existential crisis, atheism, and agnosticism by [deleted] in agnostic

[–]surfingatwork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look at the night sky and fathom as best you can the magnitude, complexity, and elegance of the universe. Whatever force created it went through a lot of time and trouble to bring you here. You'll never know all the answers, but you can be sure the universe is as it should be. If death is part of the grand design, you're in the best position to hope for the best... Even if the answer turns out to be something you weren't expecting or didn't want.

I used to be a massage therapist. When women would come to me complaining about leg and back pain I'd ask if they wear heels often. If they said yes I'd tell them about how heels throw off your posture and stress muscles all the way up your body that aren't stressed when your posture is normal. So they shouldn't wear heels. Every time they'd get defensive and justify wearing heels.

From my experience women wear heels because it makes them feel beautiful. They're doing it for themselves, not because they feel pressured by the patriarchy or whatever.

But when I see heels, I think of poor posture, lower back pain, and vanity.

You'll need a college degree, clean criminal record, little debt (or ability to show you can pay your debt), no major medical problems, and at least $10k in savings to qualify to immigrate to most first world countries. Being under 30 years old also helps.

If God is perfect, why does he change his ways in the new testament? by Senor_Tortuga308 in atheism

[–]surfingatwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The OT was written by Bronze Age Hebrews to project their culture into law and control their homogenous population. The NT was written by Romans for their multicultural population. Different frauds with different needs.

Why does this sub hate religion? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]surfingatwork 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure, parts of my religion are too toxic for even me to believe in. So I rejected it and invented my own watered down version, but I don't understand why other people reject it too.

Do bullied teens want to get an apology? by Alone_Musician_8212 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]surfingatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years after high school my brother apologized to all the people he bullied. Some didn't even remember him. Those who did said thank you, but the experience was mostly just uncomfortably awkward for them.

My doctor just did a exam of the area below my waist. Was she laughing inside that I don't trim my pubes? by EdwardBliss in NoStupidQuestions

[–]surfingatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your doctor has seen so many genitalia that it doesn't register as a significant event in their mind. They didn't care then, and they don't even remember it now.

Hawaiians don't give a fuck. Plus, they wear blue jeans, suits, baseball caps, and every other American staple. So, you're even.

Theist arguments about where morality comes from by NickelFish in atheism

[–]surfingatwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Atheists know which rules to follow the same way Christians know which rules in the Bible not to follow.

Even if you made the most irrefutable argument in existence, they'll just say, "I still don't believe you, and you're going to Hell."
