My brother is a flat earther, so I never rule anything out anymore.

Yikes

Backing all these comments that say it’s about communication. If I found out my partner has been selling nudes, hiding it from me, and also hiding the money? An unforgivable betrayal of my trust and our relationship. If he came to me beforehand and we discussed it and the money went towards our mutual goals, it would at least be something I’d consider.

The whole point is not hiding it from your partner. Discuss things before you do them.

Well that’s extra fucked up

Anyone who says about another person, “I hope s/he gets abused so that I’m proven correct,” is a gigantic piece of shit who will never find real love. And doesn’t deserve to, until they get huge amounts of therapy and improve as a human.

And remember, don’t look up

Exploitation begins at home!!

It’s never coming.

Conservative rural Christianity. It’s fine to be gay as long as no one ever knows about it.

Well the man is the head of the house, you see. So what he says goes. Even if what he says involves lifetime psychological damage!

To be somewhat fair to my mother, most of the worst stuff he ever said to me was when she wasn’t around. To this day I don’t know if she knew a lot of it. At the time he assured me that was he said came from both of them, and since I’d never seen her stand up to him for us, I had no reason to doubt it.

I was given a very specific (but non-inclusive) list of people I was not allowed to bring home. That included any and all women, naturally, but also included any and all men of any colour darker than germanic-european-white, and indeed any men of a religion other than young-earth-creationists.

Breaking any of these rules while still living in the house would have meant my expulsion from the house. I’d like to say my mom wouldn’t have allowed him to kick me out but I really don’t know.

What

Exactly why I never came out to my parents. I think they knew, since my stepfather would semi regularly tell me that if I came out as gay he would kick me out of the house.

Jokes on him, he’s dead now and I’m still bisexual.

Best: unlimited free coffee, lots of free cake and sandwiches etc

Worst: 5am wake-ups several days a week. Customers suck. The public are idiotic assholes.

But here’s the fun part, you still have to file a tax return every year! Even if you’re well under the threshold! And trying to find someone living abroad who is versed in American expatriate tax law is expensive! And I can’t afford it!!

I am hiding from the IRS and have been for 16+ years.

If you think it’s that easy to renounce American citizenship, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

I fully support taxing the rich. I am very explicitly NOT rich. And I cannot come close to being able to afford to renounce my American citizenship.

Absolutely must be left-wing. Support of gay rights, trans rights, feminism, socially progressive, etc.

No drug use. No involvement with people who are active drug users. Former use, fine. Current, no.

Absolutely must do their fair share of housework. I am not the maid.

Exactly!!

My boyfriend has moderate to severe ADHD and is unmedicated. I completely understand and agree with that image.

I’ve heard it described as “lazy inconsiderate fuckup” disease and yeah that feels accurate.
