Whata DOA?

How did you learn English? Do you get taught it in school?

The Invincible TV series is quite gory. Blood gets censored to be white in China which makes for some interesting scenes of hands dripping with white stuff. Or this:

Can you maybe explain that last sentence?

Protonmail has a free plan though.

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.

Being concious of and being able to critically look at what we are and how we act would be one answer. Sort of like what you did when you made this post :P

The cat outside isnt arguing about ethics, doesnt think about the consequences and decide not to act on some base desire, etc

We may be animals but we sure arent animals.

I’m pretty sure youre wrong to think people from the West on Lemmy support Israel. No one on here seems to 😅

Its a reference to this meme template by the way: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trade-offer

Hi, how’re you?

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.

He was wrong, but Im not sure he had contradictory beliefs.

The only thing that stands out IMO is him being for AfD - but that makes sense if you note that anti-immigration sentiment among ex-muslims when it shows up is actually specifically against muslim immigration, not immigration in general (Im exmuslim and spent a bunch of time in online exmuslim spaces).

He ran a forum to help atheist Saudis seek asylum, and his last tweets were among other things anger at the German failure to help Saudi asylum seekers. Clearly not anti-immigration.

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.
