Here's two stories that (I like to imagine) are clearly two sides of the same heartwarming brouhaha.quote:I'm worried my [23F] estranged mother [50F] is going to ruin my uncle's[56M] wedding because he is a Catholic priest. quote:[Non-Romantic] Should I [19F] tell my mother [53F] that I know about her secret 9y relationship with a Catholic priest [60M]?

I'm glad to be the dumb R&D engineer who some of you get to babysit during business trips. Usually I'm just drunk in a hotel room though

quote:My mother had told Uncle Tim that it was an insult to her memory that he was leaving the priesthood, called his fiance a whore and said "You're both going to rot in hell for what you've done." super good Christian right there lol. super devout.

Having one less person to sneak around would only make mom's life easier, right? So would not having an affair with a catholic priest, but hey Bubblyblubber posted:Aren't catholics supposed to like, extra not wish hell on other people? Like only God can judge peeps and stuff? the underlying tone of catholicism is generally pretty judgemental and as a result the culture of a lot of churches can be a real den of vipers. this is true of a lot of religious communities in the US but the weight of guilt makes it really common among catholics e: not meant to be a slam on any religions here, mind you, if we all became atheists tomorrow people would just find something else to judge each other over Mirthless fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Feb 7, 2017 |

Yes, you can never know with certainty if someone is going to heaven or hell, including yourself. There is a formal procedure for leaving the priesthood, if not neccessarily on good terms than at least on not excommunicated terms.

I could make a joke about Mirthless admiting to loving a kid in three, two, one. But I'm not an rear end in a top hat, so here's more content courtesy of the word couch quote:My (26/m) friend (26/m) actively chooses to be homeless, but frequently asks to crash on the inner circle's couches. How can I say no without guilt. HELP ME INTERNET, HOW CAN I REFUSE MY HOBO FRIEND? quote:My (22/m) very overweight friend (22/m) sat on my couch and broke it and I don't know how to bring it up that I need money to replace it. HELP ME INTERNET, HOW CAN I GET RESTITUTION FROM MY FATSO FRIEND? quote:Me [22F] with my FWB [28M] of a few months. We attempted a threesome and I ended up on the couch by myself. HELP ME INTERNET, HOW CAN I HAVE ALL THE DRAMA OF A POLY RELATIONSHIP BUT WITHOUT THE ACTUAL RELATIONSHIP PART?

I used to build out US Consulate and Embassy IT infrastructure and provide training for the Foreign Service Officers who staff them (along with the local staff in the consulate). There's a lot of basic level IT support needed even when you're supporting very intelligent and highly educated 20-40 y/o lawyers and such.

Help, my fat friend crushed my couch and got shart stains on it, I called to check the warranty status but the automated system couldn't figure out what I was trying to say. I tried to return it to Ikea but the teller was just making out with his sister Content Should I be a homewrecker? quote:So the title is a little over the top, but that's kind of how I view it. I'm 18, female, in high school in California. I'm with a guy who isn't exactly ideal, and told me two months in that he loved me, which is just scary. I've only been in a couple of real relationships, and the most recent ones (this guy and the one before) aren't with top notch guys. Comments quote:I do agree with lenolium when they said "Odds are none of these relationships are going to survive college." However I don't totally agree that you should go through with it just because of that. OP quote:I don't think it really would though. I'd be going off to college in the fall to an as-of-yet undetermined place, while he would still be in high school, possibly across the country from me. I'm not sure I'd really be in it for the long haul.

Especially in highschool. I dropped the L bomb on a couple HS gfs after like a month. When you get older you realize it's something you kinda hold off on for a bit, but it's pretty clear she is just trash. Especially when she wants to break up another relationship that has been going on for 3 years just to be with the guy for a little while before she fucks off to college and he's still in HS

I dated a girl in HS for a couple months when she said she loved me. I ended up breaking up with her because I was like 'woah that's way too heavy man I'm just looking for a fun time in HS.' I mean I was nice about it but yeah it's kinda coming on strong fairly quick I guess unless you're just like soulmates or something.

It's like she's treating her relationship like a job she doesn't like but hasn't quit yet because she doesn't want a gap in her employment history Mirthless fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Feb 7, 2017 |

Pick posted:did you ever fill that opening in lybia? We went everywhere, usually a new site every 2-3 weeks. I narrowly avoided a trip to Damascus but never had Tripoli come up. Iraq/Pakistan/Afghanistan were a different story. I actually moved on to other things because it was very stressful for my fiancee when I'd end up in those sorts of places. Plus, you know, long distance relationships being obviously bad. Warbadger fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Feb 7, 2017 |

Why are all these FWB situations are "we hang out all the time and sometimes when we hang out we don't have sex." You're in a relationship, stop pretending. If it was just about sex you wouldn't hanging out every weekend and having your own space in the closet.

It's because they enjoy each other's company but one or both people are still looking for someone better to come along.

I've had FWBs where we hung out and did not have sex, we were friends that also had sex, is that a hard thing to imagine? I didn't like, put out applications for a FWB, and then pick the best random person to FWB. These people previously were friends, we eventually started having sex with no assumption of anything more than sex on top of our pre-existing friendship (probably drunk or something)

The average man or woman in their 20s at the upper percentile (like top 20% of "highest" sex-havers or so) has approximately 5 sexual encounters with different partners per year, which means the average person is much lower than that.

This guy is incredibly delusional, easily influenced by the media he consumes, and very dumb. He at least swings around to the right conclusion by the end (that a healthy relationship is the best bang for your buck) but still you think he could take two seconds to google the actual stats and realize that most people are serial monogamists who spend most of the year loving a small number of people and the whole idea of just going out to bars and coming home with a random person is the exception rather than the rule.

That's all Christians, there's even a parable about it (the Parable of Tares) where Jesus said you should never try and separate sinners from non-sinners, because it's God's job and you'll accuse innocent people by accident. Many Christians ignore it though, since being devout is no fun if you can't gloat about other people going to hell.
