Can you maybe explain that last sentence?

Here come the gaslighters 🤦‍♂️

Huh, must have run out of content on religion and atheism if he’s making videos about unrelated topics like that now.

Stereotypes only exist because they have some basis in fact.

No, a good portion of stereotypes are just completely made up. Tiring hearing this justification.

You might find the XDG base directory standard interesting also, solves the problem the meme is about.

I have an instagram account to better fit in and none of my friends ever really post. Its mostly for messaging, sharing stuff we find, looking at stuff.

Rarely anyone seems to share every bit of what they do, if at all.

Source on the semi-aquatic part? Looking it up only brings up the aquatic ape hypothesis which is pseudoscience.

Hi, how’re you?

Couldnt you just copy the list of instances lemmy.world or a similarly large instance federates with (its in the footer), or grab a the list of Lemmy instances from e.g fedidb.org to block?

I feel that would block most of the network, and doubt there would be much value left in joining whatever unconnected instances left.

The world will never know my pain…

I dont think its classist since they dont suggest it as a precondition youve got to do before marrying, more a thing you can give a go like they prefaced with “if you can afford it”.

As I pointed out, “are the straights ok” has nothing to do with actual wellbeing. Its meant to express surprise the same way someone might reply to “I like pineapples on pizza” with “are you ok?”.

Theres nothing to take offence over. Im straight myself. I probably did a bad job at explaining what the phrase takes aim at. See /r/AreTheStraightsOK on Reddit for examples of what it means.

There can be unhealthy, weird “culture” around straight relationships and jokes about how your wife sucks is an example of it.

Asking “are the straights ok” is to express that you notice an example of that, obviously not an actual question about how were doing.

Thanks for sharing! I find what you have is really interesting.

Something I’m very curious about is how your wife is alright with the risk of them not choosing to be Christian and getting an eternity in hell? Is she a Christian universalist?

I think I sort of get where youre coming from. But my relationship with my parents isnt the kind where it matters if they know Im irreligious. It also isnt important enough to me that I would want them to know.

It’s more that I don’t want to ruin my relationship with them than that I rely on them or anything like that.

If I have kids I won’t raise them by a religion or put them through the expected rituals, and my parents will notice that. Which would then force me to come out. So not ruining my relationship with them means not having kids.
