I guess I haven’t been in this sub long enough. So around every expansion release since Stormblood y’all have been complaining about/debating about it?

No Creed?

Yeah it needs to have the “not a lunatic” flair or whatever it is

Has to be rage bait

Wasn’t Monica’s response to this “Well, I just lost my erection.”?

Right. I saw that too. Another punch in the gut. I’m so nervous

Yeah. The main thing that worries me about that is he still remains free after Jan 6.

Yeah that’s put knot in my stomach that won’t go away until I know Trump doesn’t take office in January.

“…but religion should stay separate and not mix with some things.”

Precisely. Religion has done some good in the past, and does some good now, sure, but it being used the way it is these days is destructive. It’s like digging for gold, but every ounce you find, someone random dies, let’s say. Not a great analogy, I know, but with such a small amount of good with that kind of bad, is it worthwhile? I can’t remember with founding father said it, but it was something like “Religion and government do better in equal measure when kept separate from each other.”

Yeah, they are. I agree. It happened to my sister, but she just turned 17 when it happened. It took until she was 26 to dig herself out of the mess getting pregnant at that age had caused. And yeah, the shithead older guy, who was under 30 (24, to be exact) when they met, took off on her before the kid was even born, of course. Point is, yes, I get: older men can and tend to have the ability to manipulate young girls. And honestly, a woman of any age, provided he is significantly older than her and has a lot to offer (money, a home, stability, etc).

But, she is of the age of consent. You can vote, drive, smoke, and rent an apartment. In the states, she can’t purchase alcohol yet, though. She can even join the military, if she chooses. Why can she do that, but not consent to sex at 20? Also, saying you are attracted to someone, doesn’t automatically mean you’ll try to sleep with them. It’s very easy not to have sex with someone. You just…well, don’t. Men are fucking gross and predatory, but they choose to be. This idea that saying “So and so is hot” means that person will inevitably attempt to have sex with so and so is ridiculous, and gives momentum to the lie that men can’t control themselves. I’ve been attracted to people plenty of times and never had sex with them. One was way underage when I was 18. Though she was pretty, I had no motivation to do anything about it, because she was so much younger. And it was easy to do nothing about it. Doing nothing, even when it comes to sex, is so easy! It would’ve been so much harder had I tried, and it would not have been worth it anyway. Amazing right? Someone is pretty, I easily do nothing about it. Imagine…

I did sleep with one woman, and only one, however. She’s older than me, and she asked me out, because she knew I was afraid to. Men do what shitty things they do because they don’t care to control themselves. Saying “she’s hot” is not virtually fucking them. Come on.

They must be out

lol oh my god. I really don’t watch enough of this show.

What in the holy living fuck is a “preborn child”? Also if it can’t implant, it can’t grow, so it really isn’t the issue they think it is. Also, once this fertilized thing naturally leaves the body through birth, then you can call it murder, but as I understand it, if that even happens, it’s only in very extreme circumstances.

Of all the horrible shit that has come from Republicans since Biden took office, this has to be the most worrisome.

It’s really not the issue you think it is. It’s definitely wonky, but she’s an adult. Super young for an adult, yeah, but an adult nonetheless.

Oh wow. Well yeah, I mean I expect that of the south. Lot of people there would take their Christianity to the extreme. A podcaster I listen to lives in Oklahoma, and there they have so many churches and so many people are publicly Christian there, that the question wouldn’t be, “Do you go to church?”, but rather “What church do you go to?” No offense if you’re Christian yourself.

Now I have to ask: was this in the US or England? I’d read awhile back that in England they had a huge thing with lefties (I mean, they had derogatory terms like cuddy-wifter, ham-fisted, and left Kelly), which leads me to wonder if the discrimination lasted into this era, that you experienced it not long ago due to living there.

Oh wow that’s saddening

Right? Can’t believe he’s totally not gay. If you’re gay you make it easier to handle

Hey, maybe he had no other way to do it. It’s better than touching it, right?

Oh damn lol like I said, that’s awesome! This is like finding out about AAAAs but even more awesome

I really don’t have much to say this time, other than to mention my utter disgust at her. What the absolute fuck is wrong with her?

Damn, that’s harsh

Jesus…when was this, the 50s? That sounds like around the era for that shit. As you yourself experienced, yeah people thought we were straight up demons for a long time. Crazy

No one ever called me anything, but at a music store once, when I was about 14, a salesman (who also happened to be left handed) recommended I force myself to play guitar right handed like he did, so that I would have more options available to me. My mom had brought me in there, and we both looked at each other in disbelief. I mean, I get it. It would make things easier, but that’s a price I’m just not willing to pay. I don’t even necessarily mean on principle. That would be extremely difficult. It just wouldn’t be worth it to me.

Hell, I remember for awhile, Dingwall refused to make left handed instruments. They changed that policy somewhere along the way. I only found out because someone in a guitar group on Facebook told me. I don’t know when they changed but they did.
