Sure, before I think myself into a mess again.

Well I had steak with a side of sliced onion, cucumber, mozzarella, and tomato.

Hey.

I liked Anne Frank's Diary.

If nothing else, it felt extra cathartic because of, well, you know, what eventually happened to her.

The difference between an SJW, and a person who advocates for social justice is very much comparable to the difference between a feminazi and a person who supports gender equality.

SJWs and feminazis both have goals that seek to change a wrong, but in such a way that it creates ANOTHER wrong.

From the vibes I've seen, the intentions are good, but the methods could be better.

It's a matter of walking the talk or some shit like that.

I have a feeling I'll like it, seeing as how I really liked 1984 overall.

Goddamn typos.

Well, Animal Farm is almost like a predecessor to 1984 in my interpretations.

It's also much better. 1984 is good, but not as good.

That sounds really yummy, actually, especially the tomato. I'm about to have a pizza myself, looking forward to it. It's not as fine as your dinner sounds, though. :b

It's not so much about the choice being right or wrong, it's more about not having to take all the responsibilty for it. My problem is I see so many choices that I get overwhelmed and don't know what to do, so I end up most of the time doing nothing, because there are too many thing I want to do.

The kind of choices I struggle with aren't what you'd classify as right or wrong, but decisions in how I should spend my personal time.

You went too deeply into my inadequate choice of wording. :p

It's about not wanting the responsibility I'm forced to have.

The campus minister at my alma mater (not a priest, thanks to the priest shortage) has done his best to make that Newman Center a place where LGBT+ Catholics feel totally welcomed, at least among that congregation.
That said, I understand why so many of our LGBT+ brothers and sisters turn away from faith. I wish they wouldn't write it off completely, but I do get it.

I wish they wouldn't write it off either, but sadly, to them, it seems really the only option at times... and who could blame them?
If all you're hearing is an echo chamber of "God hates you" why would you believe after hearing it for so long?

That blows in so many ways. Especially since a lot of the devoutly religious people I've met through the Church have, whether they know it or not, helped me to be more comfortable in my own skin.

This is my first real dinner after a week of camping so it might as well be a good one, yesterday it was just something quick, too tired all day to bother.

I think the issue in that side of it is less the ones that refuse to accept that losing weight is possible and more the ones who refuse to accept that losing weight is a thing someone can want to do and that can come from a genuine desire to, you know, be physically healthier.
