I'm genuinely baffled at so many people parroting the same belief, That sexual attraction/desire for someone (which is the definition of lust, btw) is the only motivation for someone to get married. As far as I'm aware, this has never been a held church teaching? I've never heard it growing up in the church, never read it in any of my theological studies on the topic, never heard it preached. I'm baffled at the fact that so many men are saying the exact same thing, that the only reason they want to get married is to have sex. Furthermore, I never expected so many Christians to dispute me on what "lust" means. It has always been held, as far as I know, to simply be desiring to have sex with someone you are not married to. That is what the Bible teaches, that is what every pastor and writer who's worth his salt teaches. But I have gotten so many people very aggressively informing me that is not the definition of lust anymore. And that sexually desiring someone is God given. (And no one has really made an attempt to define what they think lust besides like 2 people) Now I'm starting to understand why young Christian women are so off put by Christian men they see online. If you truly believe the sole or primary reason you should get married is to finally sleep with a woman, you're going to have a very hard time finding a woman who feels safe and loved by you. You simply cannot expect a healthy, God-fearing young woman to willingly put herself in a relationship where she is only giving of herself to fuel your desires.

It’s insane that you literally cannot play the original Overwatch anymore, it is completely unpreserved in any form all because it got a pointless “sequel” that replaced it. I haven’t played Overwatch since 2017, so knowing I can never again play a game I paid full price for is disconcerting.

Hey all. We’ve been reading and watching reactions to the anniversary event this week, and they’re fair. Ten years of Overwatch is a huge milestone, and we want this entire year to feel like a celebration of Overwatch. 🧵 1/8

The idea that you must see yourself “represented” in a film or TV show in order to appreciate it is the most blatant narcissism. Not everything must be about you, you, you!
