I’ll chime in myself here. Am an atheist, have dated hard core Christian women, Wiccans, and atheists. I’ve found that religion didn’t actively impact the relationship until it spilled over into daily life that my partner required I take part in. I actually really enjoyed religious history conversations with my more moderate partners. It started to break down when it was “shut up no debate this is how it is” and those are the relationships that ended badly.
Would you turn someone down for believing in heaven/hell/etc alone?
Ouch. That does seem complicated. I wish you luck!
Made this account when they ditched RiF. Gonna have to ditch it for a new one on .zip in a few days
Do you live in a country where Muslim religion is assumed or do you have to ask their religion right off? That seems rough
Buddhism seems like one of the easier ones to mesh with, yeah. Thank you for your response, I appreciate it very much!
Am also atheist, I have an extreme…distaste for religion in general. There are some that I find easier to mesh with, very dependent on the person in particular. But I have some long married friends with vastly different religious views and they work out somehow.
Where do you draw the line? That’s what I’m curious about
Really really long fake nails. Less judgement and more confusion I suppose. How do you do normal everyday activities?? I’m baffled
I don’t think the weird pronouns or identities like “I’m a blue black dragon born in Azeroth” make any sense to me whatsoever but it takes me zero effort to use whatever the person prefers so even if it doesn’t make sense to me I’d rather not go out of my way to make a person sad, especially someone who I have no idea what they’re going through in their own lives. We all got our own shit and the world would be a better place if people could just not be assholes to each other about the little things.
I didn’t block hexbear until a few months after joining and personally experiencing all the toxic vitriol that comes from there. They REALLY stick out. .ml hasn’t been bad enough to where I can see a post and immediately go “oh yep that’s from .ml” like hexbear
.ml is another of the tankie triad instances that are typically blocked for context. On lemme.ee for their loose defederation policies and I’ll be moving to .zip for the same, but I still block hexbear at the least because of how horrible those people are, rather bang my head against a wall than entertain that cess pool
I lucked out into being born 5’10, not tall enough to need special clothes, but short enough so the shallow “6ft or nothing” women self filter themselves and I don’t have to deal with them myself. I had a buddy who was 5’4ish who was an absolute disgusting human being but always blamed being alone on his height, also have a buddy who 5’2ish and married to an absolutely wonderful woman
I once fell asleep with a laptop on my lap that had a horrible heat sink and would basically turn itself off every half hour. My legs were crossed when I fell asleep and my heel was right up against the vent… Woke up with the laptop still on. Confused. And then PAIN. It has used my heel as a heat sink. MASSIVE burn, horrible pain, like four inch blister, still have the scar twenty years later. Had to wear flip flops for like a month shudder
There’s not as many people outside just…existing. I’m not that old but I remember just going outside and seeing people just not doing anything in particular everywhere, now it seems like everyone always has some place to rush to and no one is allowed to just exist in public places anymore. Maybe that also has something to do with my perspective shifting has I got older, but I still feel like it’s true.
Also bugs. There are like NO fucking bugs anymore. Couple decades ago you could walk out and get sandblasted by a million different bugs and now everything just feels so fucking dead and sterile and depressed. It’s like outside was replaced by a clinic and no one bothered to complain.
Thank you for this insight! I had no idea myself
