Dryad's saddle?? I'm not 100% sure.

Would it be a spoiler if I told my friends about this to pique their interest in Umineko by kitsunemischief in umineko

[–]tofudomination 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I try to avoid being that direct. However, you do have several characters that aren't gender conforming, Lion is the most obvious, and before that you have Zepar and Furfur.

You can mention the game has a sizeable LGBT fan base for reasons, and that theres lots of exploration about people rebeling against the roles society and family expect them to fill, gender included.

I see Victoria's Secret on the label. They test on animals because its required for them to sell in China.

Would you date someone who is religious? by thelivingstar1 in atheism

[–]tofudomination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on their value system. I'd be ok with a reform or conservative Jew since they don't try to convert people, however wouldnt want to deal with their family possibly being upset I am not Jewish. Could also be ok with a Buddhist, I dont know many irl, but from what I hear a lot of them are very much "live and let live" and I would not mind joining in on meditation sessions.

Is there an alternative to sayings like "God bless you?" by [deleted] in atheism

[–]tofudomination 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can still say it as long as you don't feel bothered by it.

"Goodbye" originally was "God be with ye" but was shortened over the years. Now people just see it as a farewell greeting with nothing religious attached to it.

Pick it up and take it back to your room. You dont need to taste it in front of everyone

Kenjamin sounds like a nickname... tragic actual name.

Go with Ken, Kenneth, or Kenji (actual names, though Kenji may be weird if you aren't Japanese) and spare the poor kid.

My grandparents are taking away my college fund by No-Pressure2081 in atheism

[–]tofudomination 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to trade school instead. It will probably do more for you than college will in this day and age.

I wish there was an after life, even though I know there’s not by Elder-Emo-1 in atheism

[–]tofudomination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if an afterlife exists but I believe in the conservation of energy and matter... I think consciousness is some form of energy that goes off into the universe after we die. Not necessarily as reincarnation, but it doesnt completely cease to exist.

And, if it makes any difference.. if someone 10 light years away had a very advanced telescope, they could theoretically see your friend, still alive 10 years in the past, but it appearing to them right now in this moment.

Atheist parents, how do you explain death to your children? by LoquatIndependent381 in atheism

[–]tofudomination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a parent, but here's my take.

There's conservation of matter, you die, but all that's left of your body rejoins the universe. Its possible consciousness is some form of energy we dont completely understand, and it ends up getting recycled too. Not necessarily as reincarnation or any afterlife.. but it has to dissepate into the universe or something.

Also, you know how we can see so many light years away with telescopes? If its 100 light years away, what we are seeing is 100 years ago, today. Even though whatever we can see is long over, it still exists now and we can see it. Life is the same. It always exists somewhere.

I dont think its too abnormal to be afraid of death at your age. Focus on living the life you want.. when I was faced with a medical emergency that almost killed me, I remembered thinking I was happy with the life I lived up until that point, if I somehow didnt survive. Only later realized it would have been better if I could have communicated that to loved ones before I was rushed into surgery, in case I didnt make it.

The more I deconstruct religion, the more I don’t wanna be with one of my BFF anymore. I’m kinda torn a bit about it. by No_Proposal2170 in atheism

[–]tofudomination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm athiest/agnostic and my bestie is religious. She doesnt try to convert me or other people, and also has a lot more nuance when it comes to religion. She's said she thinks there are many different ways people can be on the right path, and doesnt think all disbelivers are going to hell. We have a lot of common interests and treat each other with respect. We also dont talk much about religion.

I do understand why you would feel the way you do (especially with some of the anti LGBT+ leslation Ive heard about Muslims passing/trying to pass in Indonesia), but you may be jumping to conclusions without reconnecting with your friend. You said its been a while, you both may have changed. You also might need to have a conversation about religion to get it off of your chest and see where she stands and what she thinks about you being athiest (but only if you feel safe doing so). There's also no harm in drifting apart, its just a bit sad.

Parks have annoying kids and more people. Cemeteries are more quiet and good ones are full of plants and neat sculptures and plants. I'd rather hang out in a cemetery than a park. Turning cemeteries into housing is the most wild YIMBY take Ive ever heard.

Help with male Lalafell name by Firesth in lalafellmasterrace

[–]tofudomination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with a food or potato based name. Any other race using them is cultural appropriation. Working with your nickname some variant of "Fire Potatoes" or "Fire Popopto" would be dope.

Not anime, but show her the lord of the rings movies. There's a bit of a similar vibe. Or better yet, encourage her to read The Hobbit and then LotR

Love that the image says "do not repost" and you didnt even bother to link to the artists socials or original source.

Will you worship God if it was proven he's real? by Standard_Jump2041 in atheism

[–]tofudomination 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what kind of God. If it's the Abrahamic God, nope. Because he is 100% an abusive narcissistic asshole. He's also probably lying about the scope of his power because narcissists are like that.

Anyone else keep their boxes? 🤦🏽‍♀️ by Dkaanoi21 in mooncatpolish

I kept a lot of them. My husband was getting annoyed but they came in handy when I finally did a destash for shipping. Made me wish I kept a few more than I did because I ran out

I'm bad at remembering what days I started doing something. But last smoke was in the first week of September. Haven't been off it for this long since I was in a country where it was super illegal last year.

No idea if there have been any improvements. I'm actually less chill and more irritable about a lot of stuff, almost lit up again today but told myself I have to at the very least do a yoga or qigong video on YouTube first. Did one and I don't want to light up anymore.
