@Based_Atheist @MayIbeWell2day @iamAtheistGirl Hold on, I'm not sure how this is a "gotcha." Islam is one of the major world religions, any child in the US could meet a practitioner of Islam, ESPECIALLY in a big city. Why would you not want your children to learn about other religions their friends might practice?

@MayIbeWell2day @iamAtheistGirl Inclusive of what? Should they be inclusive of Islam? Should 5 year olds be told islam is true? You know that "inclusive" to you only means things you agree about.

why is it so difficult for christians to leave nonbelievers alone? i believe it’s a reaction of insecurity they have doubts and they need to silence people who make them think about their doubts if they were secure in their faith and belief atheists wouldn’t bother them at all 🤷‍♀️

@_deeecain @marieeeelex48 @nnekabook After watching basic roommate situations go down in flames because of verbal agreements, i think if a relationship ends and there's kids involved and you DON'T write out custody and child support agreements then you're the idiot. That relationship is over, there's no trust left.

@marieeeelex48 @nnekabook child support is not a consequence of cheating, it’s a consequence of not supporting the child. if he was still actively doing his part then the child support was unnecessary and done out of spite.

So let’s rephrase this… They were in a relationship Assuming they lived together He cheated and she no longer wants him physically in the home Thus, he’s being held financially responsible via child support.

@Sufganiyot_ @sawa7_fil_bilad @christapeterso @DOCTOR_RAGEBERG However you try and spin it, there were people living there and their method to achieve said colonialism has always been to remove those people from the land.

people are like “Zionists did NOT colonize Palestine. it was a Jewish kingdom in 500 BC” as though Europeans showing up somewhere brown people live like “this all belongs to us…. We have a connection from two thousand years ago…..” isn’t the most colonial shit you’ve ever heard

@aarcadiarosee @Carina_Amyth @lizzie_albin @ask_aubry As a lefty guitar player I'm shocked people don't realize how much easier it is to teach people who can literally mirror you. I'm average, not ~incredible, but I've taught some friends basic chords and the mirror effect made it super simple for them.

@Carina_Amyth @lizzie_albin @ask_aubry yea, when i was taking bass guitar lessons in like 4th grade, they just taught me as if i was right handed, didn't even give me a lefty bass. bc i had no background on how to do it, either of my hands could learn it. i'm doing the same w learning to crochet, just doing it righty

Truth!

@notabot741 @ask_aubry This was my first thought- if you stop a server on mothers day to hit on them, which already is going to be perceived as creepy, don't be surprised if she forgets to put on her nice face as she rushes past you to take care of 25 things and greet the tables she was double sat with

How much do you want to bet she wasn't rude at all?

@RealFrozz @ask_aubry I mean speaking as a server/bartender, it's likely she wasn't OVERLY polite, but that's not a statement on her. Mother's day is one of the busiest days of the year in restaurants and she was probably super swamped. He's entitled AF to not see how that would be received.

@ask_aubry My guess: She was actually overly polite.

@DothanDave @xarophti @InternetH0F I'm sorry did you forget the post you're responding to? The question asked was "how do atheists tell a good decision from a bad decision?" How else is one supposed to interpret that besides "this person thinks i cannot discern right from wrong?"

@xarophti @LMCshort @InternetH0F Nor have I ever heard any theist say such a thing. But by all means, copy and paste one quote of a theist who has said that atheists "can't tell right from wrong."

@CoinsGoUp @Kathmarval @SecurityCeleste @Momof3gngrs @ask_aubry Look, ignorance and no intention of malice doesn't mean people have to accept it or be okay with what was said. Be grown and be okay with being corrected when someone tells you that what you're saying is harmful and attempts to tell you why.

@Kathmarval @SecurityCeleste @Momof3gngrs @ask_aubry That's very nit picky language policing and projection of negative intent. It was clearly not said maliciously.

At first I was like maybe, it seems reasonable and then you realize it's not that he's on KETO diet...

@DothanDave @InternetH0F Then why suggest atheists can't tell right from wrong? Do y'all not just... Feel bad or gross about the idea of doing bad things because it hurts people? Do you have to worry about how god would feel to feel bad about doing bad things?

Such a tired, worn out atheist straw man, that Christians "need the threat of eternal punishment to be a good person." The straw man is exactly upside down and backwards from what Christians actually believe. We Christians obey God's commandments because we love God, because he first loved us by saving us from eternal punishment. The threat does not exist.

@JerheeW @ask_aubry I appreciate this post; social media strangers have a lot of opinions on what a man should be and i don't vibe with any of them, it's heartwarming to read stories about other guys who understand their partners are people.

@ask_aubry I need a post where women give shout-outs to men who pull their own weight at home. (Not talking financially.) I keep seeing almost every man I’ve ever known in these threads. They walk into the house, put on blinders, and ignore the work involved in maintaining a house.🤬

She's not overreacting.

@TheJeadpool @Provokethoughtz Perception is everything. When two people call themselves christian and is a bigot, it makes the other look bad. Instead of letting them be bigots, why aren't christians more proactive about shutting this down in their communities?

😢 😕

@RightKingTodd @Provokethoughtz Why do y'all think cat ladies are bitter? Cats are cool.

@Provokethoughtz So, a bitter cat lady trained up a future bitter cat lady, cool

@RugbyKids_ @S0phie_S0pht @Paul_Ilett This argument only works if you forget trans men exist, which everyone always does.

@S0phie_S0pht @Paul_Ilett Hormones for women are ‘replacement’ therapy. This is different treatment than when given as wrong sex hormones to men. Blockers are used for precocious puberty - regardless of whether the child thinks they are a boy or a girl. And to be safe, if you’re a male, use the gents.

@akash_nu @alex_rompen @Provokethoughtz Hopefully you're giving girls the same courtesy and shaving your body hair.

@alex_rompen @Provokethoughtz The body hair situation is a bit of a messy topic but men should have a say because for a healthy relationship they’ll also need to deal with them hair. I won’t like to burry my face in an Amazonian bush for example.

@MaryBeth_Abate @ask_aubry Honestly, she probably DOES tell him to knock it off, but he doesn't tale it seriously and thinks he's being annoyingly cute. I had an ex who would frustrate me in other ways, to the point that i was literally screaming at them to stop, and they still thought i was joking.

He really should do her a favor and break up with her.

@codythecodeman1 @CharlesCrosby @Jortmanjoe @schwabsauce @mrbenwexler Yeah and if it had any merit to it the people trying to impeach him wouldn't have closed the book on it. Not even MTG is pushing for impeachment anymore.

@CharlesCrosby @Jortmanjoe @schwabsauce @mrbenwexler There is evidence, literally A person who was involved per the emails said the big guy was Joe Biden AND the 10% was his cut of the deal

Kinda seems like if someone commits 34 felonies in order to win an election, their Supreme Court appointments shouldn’t get to remain on the bench for life

@CoinsGoUp @NicolaMDavidson @ask_aubry Bro you're literally responsible for your own feelings and learning how to process them, a woman is not your free therapist.

@NicolaMDavidson @ask_aubry Every burden is on men at all times, why not add to the pile lmao

This is what we mean when we say toxic masculinity hurts everyone. It forces men to be more lonely and causes more undue emotional labor for women.

@Person012345 @emrazz Then his place is not to insert himself in that conversation. If you're not contributing anything of value to a conversation you don't have to speak on it unless you're asking in good faith for examples.

@emrazz Is this the mental gymnastics y'all do? Maybe he just means he's never seen that.

Woman: shares a common example of misogyny What he says: I’ve never seen that What she hears: I don’t believe you What he means at best: I don’t care What he won’t admit: he cares about keeping it that way, because if he didn’t, why would he try to convince you you’re wrong?

@pjfmachado @drspacejunk @emrazz Bro you can't go around telling people how they feel about things, you're not that person and you don't know what they feel or how situations affect them.

@drspacejunk @emrazz If you make a poll about "common examples of misogyny" you will get: - common examples of misogyny - ambiguous situations - things that are clearly not misogyny Yet you will still say "it's all misogyny". Just like to a hammer everything looks like a nail.

@dontsaythattome @KaeleyT I told a guy something similar and he started going on about funding like he really thought women were just given the resources to start the various nonprofits in their cities. Some dudes just have to be the loudest voice in the room at all times 😑

@KaeleyT I worked with a bloke who was always banging on about ’battered men’. I kept telling him to start a refuge for them if he was really concerned. That always made him angry, for some reason he seemed to think it was my problem to fix.

When I post about the women killed in witch trials, someone inevitably reminds me that men were killed, too. When I talk about the plight of battered wives, I’m usually scolded about neglecting to mention battered husbands. When I talk about the gender cult’s assault on vulnerable teen girls, someone will remind me that boys are harmed, too. Yes. I understand. Females do not have the monopoly on suffering or victimization. Yes, I validate the experiences of the many males who suffer. They matter, too. But I am a self-described women’s advocate. That’s my area of passion. That’s the area of my personal experience, and that’s the area where I choose to focus. If you feel led to champion these issues from another angle, by all means do it! Truth needs all kinds of advocates. I’m just more successful when I stay in my lane.
