Somehow it always gives me the warm fuzzies when people use fandom-related objects to cheer themselves up <3 That's great and nothing to be ashamed of.

I do this with a Sherlock Holmes pipe (which is, by the way, not a calabash). Even though I don't smoke.

Mine's very personal, so none of you can answer it, but regardless: one of my friends came out as trans last January. At the time, he had a girlfriend (they broke up a few months ago), and they'd been dating since at least October. My question is, did she know before the rest of us did? She didn't react like it, so I don't think so, but on some level I'd like to know for sure.

I get this. I wish tiny fandoms had more diversity but that's a contradiction in terms since if there are about eight people actively participating, it makes sense that they all focus on the same thing.

But then you get the lurkers and the anons who pop up once in a blue moon and say that they wish there was more of this or that - and my advice to that is, if you want other things posted in your tiny fandom tag, you have to go ahead and post them there. This seems to escape a surprising number of people.

Why is adultery considered a sin in some religions, but marriage after someone died isn't? I always wondered this. I have no problem with someone remarrying obviously, I think the deceased would want that person to be happy, but if the faith believes you meet your husband again in the afterlife... aren't you technically still married to them?

a lot of vocal christians haven't actually read the bible

I'm impressed with your region. Most places I know which flood regularly just keep building levees, so they just have even more drastic floods when the floods inevitably get bad enough to overcome them.

For TV:

1972 - That Certain Summer, a TV movie with Martin Sheen and Hal Holbrook, was I think the first sympathetic TV movie about gays.

1977 - the TV show had the first regular gay character on primetime TV, however the show was a soap-opera spoof, i.e., not very serious.

1977 - the Starsky & Hutch episode "Death in a Different Place" one of the first (I think it was THE first, but I'm not sure) sympathetic and explicit discussions/portrayals of homosexuality.

I don't know much about movies, since the Hayes Code messed with the trajectory of what was acceptable to be shown in theaters for a long time.

I had my glasses broken a few months ago and had to survive for nearly a week. it was terrifying and isolating and disorienting, and all the more weird because people kept forgetting that I couldn't effing SEE. I have a feeling that I will be sharing your reaction from here on out.

Yeah, I can't figure out a lot of stuff. : /

Pressure cookers was what was reported here, and they were put on the ground. If they'd been higher up, on a table say, then there might have been more chest, abdominal and head injuries inflicted.

Because it's called "Christianity"? As in, based on Christ's views and beliefs? And these pretty much outright contradict all the sick fuckery that's going on in the Old Testament?

Myself, I'd prefer it if Christianity rejected the Old Testament altogether. It's an awful book and it should never be a basis for a peaceful religion.

(I'm an agnostic atheist, btw, but a former Christian who has complex feelings towards Christianity).

1. Not positive but I believe the bombs were a shrapnel type of bomb that exploded low to the ground sending out debris which hit people mostly in the legs and feet.

one of the stories in Andrew Lang's rainbow fairy books features and evil fairy named Gorgonzola, I shit you not

let's submit en masse to restore the balance!! i don't have any secrets but i can make up some!

A lot of older movies couldn't have explicitly gay characters, due to the laws at the time. But that doesn't mean that they didn't exist! Take "Flesh And The Devil", from 1926, for example -- it's a love story between two men, period. Or, since I've yet to meet anyone else who's seen that particular movie, there's also "Rebel Without A Cause" (1956) and several others.

I remember there was an episode of MASH - in the Henry/Trapper era, so before 1976 - about a gay soldier who had been beaten up by his fellow soldiers for being gay. It was called "George."

All in the Family had an episode about it.

Aww, dude. This is probably going to start Judaism wank and I'm not really in the mood. :(

When I am wearing my glasses my fear of falling triples because 1) if my glasses break the glass will hurt my face and eyes and 2) these cost £200.

I haven't been on the site in AGES. What happened?

People were banned? Why?

Do you want the reason infidelity is a social taboo and remarriage after widowhood isn't, or how religions explain the logical issue?

For the first, infidelity is a social strain. Remarriage after widowhood consolidates resources and promotes social connection. And in a society where the family is the economic unit...

For the second, fuck if I know. "Because god said so", and god don't need your logic?

2) I know fires in the US spread wide and fast and occur naturally, not just due to humans or something. There are countermeasures in place but of course you rarely hear about the fires that were brought under control. Also there are some regions that will do a controlled burn. Also, fire is way more unpredictable and harder to contain than water (for the most part. obvs there are exceptions).

Well, generally, it's considered that the afterlife doesn't work by the same rules as Earth -- like, there's no marriage, or having kids, or going about a regular life. It's another plane of existence.

I don't know about other religions, but according to the Christian Bible you won't actually be still married in the afterlife:

https://bible.org/seriespage/one-bride-seven-brothers-luke-2027-40

I'm not sure how that affects views on adultery, though. I'm not sure I've even seen it acknowledge much, though it's in the Bible. So I don't know.

I do know, though, that when my family first heard this particular passage in Church, our first thought was the same across the board: Thank god, the poor woman can finally get a break in Heaven.

OP, I have a bracelet I made that is simply the name of my favourite character in bright colours he would be repulsed by, and it is my safety blanket. There's nothing silly about it, it's great you have something that can even help in the first place!
