  1. if by "the barenaked ladies song" you mean the vine where the phone rings and its like "its ben" then yea

    i was gonna embed that vine but tragically there is no way to do it with bbcode at present

     

    also:

     

    It will still be two weeks 'til I say I'm sorry.

  2. I'm not equating it. It's not a fair standard of comparison. I even said so right afterwards. 

     

    But you see, having those preferences has cost me a lot of pain and suffering. How much more so do the LGTBQ+ people suffer. I can tell you for a fact that if I was LGTBQ+, my family would disown me. My family can't even tolerate my innocent preference for BZPower! How much more so are they not going to tolerate...

     

    Exactly. And then that becomes not only just two people, but a lot of people. I can walk away from my petty oppression, but they will never get away as long as there are people of intolerance who treat people badly. 

     

    If I disapprove of, and are correspondingly hurt by, people who believe my preferences are wrong (which is wrong) how can I stand here and say that people who say certain sexual preferences are wrong are right? I must be consistent with myself.

     

    It's why the whole debate stirs up my emotions and gets me riled up. This could be an irrational reason, yes, but my mind reads this reaction as indignation, not pained wrath.

    you know what, fair enough. my bad for misinterpreting your intent. thanks for explaining yourself; i appreciate the sentiment, and your acknowledgement of what i and people like me experience.

     

    another thing: i hope you'll begin to act on this realization and be aware of when you may be saying something harmful. i've seen you flip back and forth between harmful and accepting views on a number of issues over the last few months, and it's honestly been kind of confusing. i hope you'll continue to move in the right direction, and be open to guidance from people on the receiving end of oppression.

  3. The other thing that haunts me here is that I suffer from my own preference and identity abuse.People tell me that my writing will take me years to make me living, that I have to do work I don't like and they do in the interim. Reading is evil because it distracts me from my schoolwork. "Don't lift the big rocks."

    And anything having to do with Bionicle or Lego is not allowed, because I'm "too old for it". The last time BZPower was uttered in my house, curse words were used around it. Not funny. That's the reason I have logged in anonymously for years, in case someone from the past remembers my BZPower handle. I don't want them going to the forums, seeing my name active, and running up the stairs to confiscate yonder computer.

    while your apology as a whole is nice, and appreciated, i'm really not a fan of how in this little bit you're equating being a member of an oppressed and marginalized group (LGBT+) to having hobbies that your family doesn't like.

  4. orders vary in swiftness - ive gotten them within three days before, and also had ones that took a couple weeks. it really depends on the seller. also, it's generally a good idea not to pay until you receive the package - ive dealt with sellers before who just couldnt seem to ship anything.

     

    if you want to know about good MOCing pieces, i have two words for you: ball joints.
