I'm not opposed to the idea of an elective religious class that studies various books. As long as

-We talk about how they have changed over time and the different meanings they have taken (and don't shy away from the really shitty things like how the Bible was used to justify slavery)

- We talk about the criticisms and the historiography of the books. How and when they were written, for what purpose and by whom. And the actual history of it, not the revisionist history that people ascribe it to. Like how Revelations was likely not written by the Apostle John etc.

When did you know it was time to get engaged?

I asked her after two years. At the time I thought "Hey if I like being with her for 2 years, in going to like her for the rest of my life!"

I was 21 and very immature. But the actual answer is, when you feel like you are ready to make that commitment and the consequences of what will happen if you break it

Was there a defining moment that triggered it, or was it just knowing they wanted it and didnt feel too opposed, so fuck it.
Did you do something romantic for the proposal, or just casually asked?

It was just after sex, and I did the kneel before the bed she was lying in and asked.

cjsdowg posted...
I get what you are saying. That is why any brown character and Picciolo get claimed by POC in anime. So I am not questing your feelings on the subject. I 100% support you claiming who you want.

However why do you think the Spider-Verse movies are gueer. Note I am not saying they are not, just asking.

It's mostly the second one that comes to mind. But it's a really queer story. Spider Gwen in particular. That is to say, it's a story a lot of queer people relate to because it sounds like our lives.

Story starts off with Gwen hiding who she is, and when her dad finds out, he turns violent and automatically doesn't trust her. This forces Gwen to leave her dad to make a new family (a lot of queer people experience the loss of unsupportive family members, are disowned and then have to make a new family. This is refered to as "found family" generally. She later confronts him and is forced to plead her case to her dad who still doesn't fully understand but ultimately chooses to side with her over his job. Again, you can see this kind of reconnecting and reckoning within the lives of queer people and their families. Choosing their queer relative, often alienates other members. It can be a painful thing.

There is a good video I watched that summed it up better. Goes into Miles story and a couple of the others as well. People like to talk about the visible examples. The "protect trans kids", the lighting in specific scenes being the trans flag's colors, but these are largely what we do to justify it to others. It's not the thing that makes it a queer story, it's just easier to point to that to straight cis people as codifiers. Because as a society we don't understand queer stories because we don't listen to queer voices. Most people can only point to the visible. Trans people who don't or won't pass, rainbows and flags.

Fucking Barbie was called LGBT+ propaganda because it had a single trans actress and nothing else. So when an actual story that speaks to queer people comes out, and we co-opt it, a certain section of the population freaks out.

What a joke. It's always the same

"What? No! Abortion needs to be illegal!"

So you're ok with government having the power in our lives to police women's wombs. Doesn't sound like small government. What do you think of letting doctors treat trans children?

"......"

So... what you mean to say is 'i want more freedom to oppress people and I want you to have less freedom to do anything about it'

"Democrats only want power for themselves! They are just as bad!"

My side doesn't want trans children to commit suicide.

I think it comes down to cis het normativity. Growing up in a world where you never had to question your place in it. Much like we the wealthy people, your society ends up far removed from what others lives are you can't relate to.

Like I remember reading a thing by Adam Smith and he was talking about how people can't naturally be made to care about if another person is hungry and it kinda made my jaw drop. Like, wtf, I can clearly empathize with those people.

I will say this much, I there is a difference between the unable to relate crowd vs the "I refuse to relate" crowd. Those who see any instance of queer representation as an afront to them. Not used to confronting things different from themselves, any meaningful change ends up feeling like less of the pie.

And like, I get when it comes to queer stories like Nimona if cis straight people have a hard time relating, but it makes a whole lot less sense when it's just a queer character in a nominally unqueer story. And to the example of Nimona, I think it offers an easy window into queer lives to start getting the process going. Representation matters. Good representation matters more, but the best kind of representation is often the ones that are explicitly about Queer experiences.

But you are not really living or enjoying life if you don't party and have fun. I just don't get how some people are so boring this is 2023 the world is literally ending in front of our eyes fascism is on the rise and there is a war being waged against the LGBT+ community. So I ask you again how can you enjoy life without partying.

This is a bad take

ITP: nihilistic hedonism is the only way to enjoy living, according to nihilistic hedonists who are totally not desperate for constant validation over their chosen lifestyles.

This is somehow worse. How did you manage that?

Hey, to all you out there, this should be obvious: not everyone likes to go to parties. We don't have to make it more then that. Some people are super extroverted. Some people have the most fun sitting back with a whine glass and a good book. It has nothing to do with hedonism. It's just different strokes for different folks
