I didn't get a girlfriend till 31. Married her a year later. catholicmatch.com
If you aren't Catholic that can be fixed. Play the really long con. Join RCIA, match with a faithful catholic, have 6 kids and 40 grandkids, die peacefully surrounded by family, spend eternity with God.
You don't even have to learn rust till you get to heaven. Using go is only like the minorest of venial sins. Barely worth mentioning and easily overlooked.
lmao
yeah, i was already so deep down the rabbithole before i was even 9 years old, my father pointed out the "tree nailed to the floor" line in the old testament, and the idols, i can't even, really, please, if catholics are going to heaven it can only be IN SPITE of their tolerance of literally graven out of stone images
at least the orthodox try to argue that an icon is not graven because they used a brush to render it, but the catholics dgaf, come on, how clear is the text?
anyhow, it's between me and God so i'll not go too far into sniping at the obvious deficits of his chosen denomination but i don't go to any church because there isn't one anywhere near me that doesn't blatantly disregard the very text they claim is God's Word
lol, rust is from hell
i'm 48
i've done plenty of penance etc etc... i'm not gonna plague myself like you catholics do... it's too depressing at this point in a typical life cycle but at the same time, most people pick my age as 35 so i have that going for me
i'm probably just so fussy i can't even
any woman that is going to stick with me is either YOLO or extremely intelligent and sensitive
i'll be fine with dying as a solitary human as i came into the world, in my own hermitage
monastic life is an option too, i just didn't exactly choose it, but then when i think about what the woman has to accept to be around me maybe i did
We do need hermits as well. If we want any progress at all. I used to dream of starting a monastic order dedicated to research.
Surely God will see it as a noble reason to make me rich so I can be the patron of such an order. A nice Victorian style laboratory and library is expensive.
haha, self taught practitioner of organic chemistry at your service :salute:
also, tbh, in retrospect i think it was obvious i was not made for dad duty, though i'm not ruling it out, i just doubt it, and i need to keep meaning in my life so i hunt other things that i care about
to be honest, i'm in a category of "i don't want to have children" for the reason of "to have them subjected to brainwashing to become servants of evil men"
not the usual "woo eco doom" story
so it's hard to motivate me towards seeking a wife and making childrend because i don't want to do it unless wife is fine with being my kids main teacher and that we be as far as possible away from the minions of satan who run the world these days
I accidentally solved that by being the one who stays home schooling the kids. My wife is great but she didn't want to homeschool. We just kind of fell into it with COVID etc. But I am not sure how I am going to handle high school. It is hard to juggle very different ages. Have an infant in my arms right now and need to be hands on with the kindergartener.
But I want that affore mentioned lab so I can do highschool and college for my kids.
well, these are changing times... the world has to change, things are beyond the point of no return at this point, it has to snap back, not just slowly reorient
There is no point of no return. We currently have a glut of bad ideas due to relative wealth buffering us from the consequences of bad logic. The consequences are still there, they are just delayed. But I can stay pretty well at peace, because all bad ideas are unstable. They will always always lose to the truth in the long run. It is an evolutionary inevitability.
Things will go back slowly, then suddenly. It is one person at a time living as they aught. It is countless families just tending to teaching their children the truth.
It will seem helpless but that small fraction of families will have half the next generations children and then 75% of the following generations grandchildren.
yeah, this is why i am not ruling out the idea i may yet father children
who knows what the Lord has in his plans... only what i need to know will be revealed to me, ultimately
