That's what I was thinking, especially if the server never spoke to them again after that point.

I know you have been given answers already, but look for any Vegan protein. If you want protein powder for example, the vegan ones are usually made of pea protein rather than whey, completely eliminating the risk of shitting yourself from the protein.

I've seen a photo of the one being tased doing a flip in front of this officer. I'm assuming no shoes because it's easier to do stuff like that without them?

You're fine! It's still an amazing affirming moment and I love that for you! <3

Except the ones that are dead.

Oh I'm well aware, it was the combination of the two that makes it worse.

For example: JFK was killed without consent by a stranger. Rosemary had a lobotomy performed on her without her consent under orders from her family. So the fact it was family and not a stranger makes it worse in my opinion.

Otherwise, suicide is a choice, so it lessons the fact that it was done by someone very close (ie the one commiting suicide). It's a choice made when one is in a state of mind where they shouldn't be making choices of such magnitude, but it's still a choice.

This reminds me of that scene in star trek where someone had sequenced the DNA of their perfect woman.... They were equally proud of it as the guy in the above photo is of whatever that is.

Edit: I was thinking of a scene from Mission to Mars, not Star Trek TNG.

Rosemary really should be at the top of the leaderboard, because it wasn't her choice and it was family who organised it.

I don't think I have ever sent a flag. So it's wild to me.

Look OP I'm going to be blunt. If you want to keep your marriage, you are in for a long and potentially painful journey.

You will both have to work through breaking the indoctrination of hate caused by bad translations and the bigots who furthered it.

For example, despite being bi, your wife thinks homosexuality is a sin; however, homosexuality is only a sin to modern Christianity. The line in the bible everyone quotes as evidence of it being a sin is mistranslated. The line "it is a sin for a man to lie with a man" uses two different words for man in the original Hebrew, with that second version of man usually being translated elsewhere as 'boy'. meaning the phrase was never saying homosexuality was a sin, it was saying pedophilia was a sin.

I'm hoping for the best for you and your wife, but just be aware it is going to be tough. Coming out is a difficult enough journey when society isn't accepting, and it is significantly more difficult when your inner circle isn't 100% on board. Good luck, I'm hoping you can show the world you can keep your faith and your identity. ❤️

Fun fact for those who are interested; this is a reference to a Stock photo series about bullying, that has a fair bit of sexual tension. Especially when you see that in the rest of the set, they all took turns being "bullied".

Here's the one where the girl in the background is the one being "bullied".

Here's the one where the girl on the left is being "bullied".

Finally, here they are being besties.

I use sync and I used it when it was a reddit app. It was funny to join Lemmy while hating on sync was trendy.
