GREGG RULEZ OK

[–] [email protected] 76 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Didn't make me stop wanting to paint my nails and wear skirts, it just added an extra layer of internalized self loathing and an overall sense that I had no place in society and should just die

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah... But chainsaws are pretty fun tho

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Until they kickback because it hit some metal in the tree

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

too bad they cant embed a metal detector in chainsaws like the finger savers in table saws.

I'm sorry you went through that, I hope you have some peace in your life now!

Hey I feel that but without being gay... How does that work?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, there are a few things that could be. Maybe you like to dress that way, maybe you like to express yourself more feminine but identify as a man, maybe you are a trans woman who is a lesbian.

I have a feeling that you have some soul searching to do either way, as those answers come from within.

I think he just meant the self loathing part?

[–] Cybermass 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I did haha whoops

Though I also feel them on the dad forcing you to do manly stuff. My dad was always like "why don't you have a girlfriend yet" constantly since I was 9 or "you should play sports not play on the computer" n shit like that. He doesn't do any of that now that my computer stuff has me making more money than him though haha fuck you dad

Sorry about that. Self love comes from within too. Everybody’s road to self acceptance is different. I started mine about three years ago when I took way too many shrooms and had a mind blowing experience where I realized I hated my body, but didn’t really understand why, so I spent an unknown amount of time coming up with things I appreciate about my body, like my muscle memory when typing or other small things. It sent me on a long journey that led me to discover why I have had such a strong disconnect with myself.

I don’t necessarily suggest you do that yourself, as you can really Fuck up your psyche, and you don’t really get to choose what lesson you’ll learn or what kind of experience you’ll have.

Ideally an individual would be able to experience that guided by a mental health professional for safety and to keep you focused on something productive.

I hope you can find some things to appreciate about yourself, because the things you focus on are the things that will drive you or drag you, and we can be our own hardest critic.

My dad did the same. He’d always ask me why I don’t have a girlfriend. When I’d choose inside chores over helping him pull weeds or whatever, because it’s hot outside, he’d ask me if I wore a maids dress while doing it to try to pressure me into doing more “manly” work.

The funny thing is that when I hit ~20 years old I think he had a realization on his mind that I was actually gay and changed how he acted. I’m not, I’m like 90% straight, but he’d try to do little things to show his support for my presumed closeted gayness. For example, I had a close male best friend. Before we hung out he’d awkwardly hand me $50 and say, “I am glad you are happy, take him out for dinner and a movie on me 😉”.

Unexpectedly wholesome, at least he's trying.

My dad is in a similar boat with race, when I told him my girlfriend is Chinese he said he didn't care 3 times in a row which was funny but hey like at least he's trying.

[–] nBodyProblem 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah lol

Weird and awkward but the good intentions are there

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Sorry to hear that. I hope you have found the inner peace that you deserve.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

no need to apologize to society for being interesting.

What makes a log cabin gay? Put a couple of self hating Republicans in it or is there more to it than that?

[–] ArchmageAzor 79 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

None of the logs are straight

[–] timkmz 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would be a horror to build tho.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's why the step grandfather's plan failed. If he had just left it alone Moki Awa would only be able to build a straight log cabin. But with all the skills gained from attempting to "man the queer" out of them, they are now able build the gayest non-straight log cabin.

[–] timkmz 6 points 1 year ago

Lmao doesnt make sense at all from a logical perspective, but its a memey sub so I'll not think about it too hard. Xd

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

I'm gay but I'm a lady so a regular log cabin is already pretty butch if I build it 😁

[–] gamermanh 6 points 1 year ago

Each log is painted a different primary color from the rainbow

A rainbow is carved out of wood above the door

And the inside is full of proper BDSM mounting equipment properly installed

Duuuuuhhhh

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

its a well known fact that before chainsaws were invented, all men were gay.

[–] Syrc 17 points 1 year ago

I love how those people think there’s a “Man indicator” and a good old chainsaw can fix a shortage.

Also obligatory reminder that gays are the real men

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Who wouldn't want a gay log cabin everything would be so nice and shiny
