If you're having kids with the express intent that they care for you when you're old, you're already doing it wrong.

I'm going to go with the very opposite opinion. Don't fly with your kids, especially babies, but if you do, do it ONLY in business and first class. Working class people have enough shit without having to deal with your baby.

I've had to use canceling headphones for several hours a day for months due to asshole neighbours. Doing that provokes and exacerbates migraines. Using common sense and separating noise emitters from noise sufferers should always be the first step.

That's because you're weak and uncommitted. Jack up those vaccines up your forearm and minmax your autism until the build starts paying off.

Fair, I shall accept this as a measure of human progress.

Remember that you can do mourning in different ways. Even if you don't attend the rite most people will, you can ask someone (such as your grandma) to take a walk through the cementery, or wherever the ashes were thrown. That's also a form of mourning.

Not me. I walked out. The worst part is, I'm still expected to go subject myself to this psychological torture again and again, every time somebody I love dies or gets married or has a baby. Those moments which should be the most important to us, the saddest and the happiest, misappropriated by mystical thugs for the sake of extorting protection money from the people.

Just don't enter the church or chapel. When asked why, be completely honest: you have suffered in other occasions from having to sit in to listen to a priest taking advantage of the death of a beloved being to praise his own organization, and you do not want to take part in that. This attitude will be understood as rebellious, misguided and disrespectful. It is also the first stone for others to start questioning why they want a priest to give a speech whenever someone dies at all.

Also due to Islam. They're about 50% to 50%.

The solution, to my reckoning, is to start making things you love because you love to make them and to refuse to sell out when they come knocking.

I mean, sure, that will solve some things. Not climate change, though. I think we can aim for a little higher, but when I say that perhaps seeking infinite growth in a finite planet might lead to an environmental catastrophe that's somehow controversial.

Isn't it curious that Judas doesn't have a halo? He hadn't betrayed Jesus yet here, yet him not having a halo means he's already not pure, as if his capacity for betrayal was a predestined trait, rather than a choice.

I really believe God will break you down until you have no choice but to trust in him.

And this is good! This is totally normal behavior for a loving being! He only wants me to follow the right path! Out of my own choice, through my own free will and everything!

Jokes aside, this person has gone through some shit, and rather than getting therapy, she is doubling down.

My siblings in Christ just because you have an unhealthy relationship with porn doesn't mean that everyone else does too. Stop projecting your problems into pathologizing everyone else.
