I’m as atheist as they come, but this is the best advice for OP. Dr. Nerdlove’s advice was spot fucking on, but with people like OP the framing of the advice matters. They won’t take it from Dr. Nerdlove (ironic seeing as they submitted this to them in the first place) but they will take this advice from a pastor who…

I’m not sure what kind of answer “Drowning” was looking for asking someone relationship advice who 1)does not share the same faith convictions or 2)ascribes to a “whatever feels good/works for you philosophy” or 3) isn’t even a doctor.

Don’t be a hater. Just because you don’t understand how to synergestically reach out to grow a sea change for an empowermentally charged exit strategy in app development doesn’t mean the rest of us don’t recognize the new normal of disruptive innovation at this granular level.

“...I used responsive web design to make simplify customer experience with the app....”

I was horrified by the title and then immediately realized it was misleading.

I’m in the middle of paying off a lot of debt and “I really can’t afford that right now” has become a refrain for me.

This principle is an excellent one, but a very old one. Aristotle explained how this works in the Nicomachean Ethics 2,300 years ago. Though, since only philosophy students seem to read the Ethics these days, it is good to see it repackaged.

you’re paying a reasonably small monthly fee for a license to temporarily access a small portion of movies and tv shows, those licenses get swapped out, renewed, or cancelled

I guess you could say it’s the Bruce Wayne path to finding your career.

What a overly simplistic and naive view on life.

First off - this isn’t really in response to The Noble Renard, but kinja is messing w/ me...

I can see where sex robots might help those that are painfully shy get past that first time sex experience, or those introverts that have a hard time talking to people so that physical relationships don’t become just one more thing that they are missing out on.

I also think it will damage emotional intimacy between human partners because people will not be open with one another; they’ll save that deeper intimacy for their robot.

I assume it’s because the stereotype is basically of a man wanting to control and have a full fake relationship with a woman he can’t have ala Spike in Buffy. But what you’re saying is totally true — the market for a Tom Hiddleston or a Thelma and Louise era Brad Pitt would probably be significant (although tbh I…

“biological science tells us a brain that young can’t handle consenting to sex with an adult. full stop.”

I’m not down with adults fucking 13 year olds, but I don’t think it’s accurate to classify that conviction as “science”. The concept of “sufficient understanding to constitute consent” is deeply tied into legal and…

I get what you’re saying, truly it wouldn’t fly in this day and age, but women were chattel for a long time and still are in some places. Not only is GOT a fantasy land, I think we’d be doing ourselves a disservice to forget or rewrite how women were once property and only in the 70's won our right to even hold our…

It’s a tender, beautiful scene in the book. He takes lots of time, gets her totally comfortable, and waits for her to be into it before making a move. It sets the tone for their loving (if star-crossed) relationship.

Yes because being a decent human being always comes with the pretense that you wish to get something out of it, let alone sex.
