You’re starting to get it?
That the true believers aren’t afraid of death. The believers that are scared at the concept of dying aren’t actually believers at all.

100% it’s different.
Just because a movie has a jump scare it isn’t necessarily a scary movie. There’s a difference between some existential dread and ‘boo’.
I’d argue that the accident is a startle response with body horror mixed in.
Some people are scared of death. Doesn’t matter the cause. That’s what I’m talking about. It’s 100% different than a fatal car accident.
A fatal car accident is different. Could be a shock scare or just not wanting to be injured.
Belief in god has no bearing in reality.
Having said that, my grandfather outlived my grandmother by 10-15 years. On his deathbed, he was holding some marriage pictures. He was looking forward to seeing her. Guy believed 100%. Still makes me tear up thinking about it.
I agree with you.
Either the person isn’t a ‘good follower’ and isn’t going to the good place.
Or they don’t actually believe. Because there should be no fear or apprehension about going to the good place
‘As I lay dying’ might appeal to you. It’s another song that’s great but nothing like the other stuff in the catalog piece
You could say it was ‘state of the art’
Lol. I’m the opposite. Love his other stuff. I can sing along to most of the songs on two albums, but that hit… It’s an instant classic, but very much a pop song. His other stuff is almost antipop
2 feet, 2 eyes, 2 drunk to fly
I didn’t know I had so much in common with vultures
DNA evidence was also very new, and wasn’t trusted by the larger population yet.
Oddly enough, there’s reason to doubt DNA evidence from that era for not being robust enough
Every year after 40, I’ve been surprised at some point that I’m not 40 anymore
Not unusual at all.
Where does that last one come from?
Macaulay culkin had a long friendship with mj from around the time he was in home alone. He’s consistently said throughout his life that nothing bad happened to him.
MJ is a weird case. It’s super suspicious, but the fact that parents let kids sleep over is even more suspicious. As a parent, I’d never let my kids sleep over at mjs place. Especially with the rumors.
So why would a parent do that? Extortion seems reasonable.
Worst case, parents were feeding their kids to a child predator so they could extort a filthy rich guy.
This also explains caulkin. He was rich. There was no point in extorting mj.
I vaguely remember noticing the fruit of the loom logo change which makes it weirder for me
Ok. If you’re mtf, the hormonal treatment will stop a lot of the masculinisation of the face. If the person 'changes their mind ’ they can stop the hormonal treatment and the masculine hormones will do the work on their face. No real harm done. Just a delay.
Similar things with a ftm person.
It’s also important to note that a lot of the ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ traits aren’t really as clearcut as we generally think. BUT the treatment helps these people with their mental health and when we’re dealing with a population with crazy high suicide rates, these hormonal treatments are literally lifesaving
In Canada, you can start transitioning as a teenager, but that’s almost 100% hormonal treatments which aren’t permanent.
There’s therapy involved. There’s physicians involved.
More people regret knee replacement than gender affirming surgery.
In Canada, kids aren’t going through irreversible surgery. It just doesn’t happen. It’s a years long process, so toddlers would never even be considered because it takes years. The toddler wouldn’t be a toddler by the time surgery was scheduled.
If you read, the standards of care for trans people, you’ll see that the medical establishment doesn’t agree with irreversible surgery before adulthood. I’m not saying that it doesn’t happen in other countries, but it goes against the international standard.
If you want some references I can help, but I encourage you to look for some of the primary sources.
There’s a ridiculous amount of misinformation out there regarding this topic. It can be really hard to see through that.
And Jesus wept!
I’ve noticed that the more German posts I see the better the overall content.
I see ‘ish iel’ I upvote
Resorting to insults when you can’t get your point across in a reasonable way. My bet is you’re a teacher.
Cheers
