Well... you know... non-fiction. Books on history, philosophy, psychology... Like the books on my nightstand at home right now are This is Your Brain on Music, Generation Debt, Foucault's The History of Sexuality, and Beware the Talking Cure.
oh.
Oh yeah you're right about what you were saying earlier then. I misunderstood entirely. But I would argue still though, that say the short story Brokeback mountain would affect me more than a non fiction essay (is that what you call it?) book about how dreadful it is to be gay in the midwest.
Anytime a female offers to get naked it just takes the challenge out of the whole deal.
So, I !pass, on naked passerby
Nah, not offering. Being forced to by Mike.
He's such a misogynist.
Well, MikeMan is totally Heinleinian. Fucker loves him some Robert Heinlein. If you're a woman and you're not walking around naked offering blowjobs to every man in sight, then you're just not liberated enough.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

That was on Monday. Then the flight was canceled. Now I've only seen two apartments, across four sources, and I've responded to both but got no response of my own.
I'm just slamming F5 repeatedly and praying. My flight leaves in the morning regardless.
So I decided to try out Baldur's Gate after all this time owning a copy...created a mage and...I only get to use Magic Missile once? WTF?
Uhm, you have never played or read over the basic rules of Dungeons & Dragons before?
Spells and special abilities are not as common as in most fantasy games, especially at lower levels you will have to depend on your common weapons a lot more. As you progress you'll get to learn more spells, but you still won't be able to just spam them. That's not how magic works in D&D.
I didn't mean to suggest earlier that the method is to replace their religious faith with the secular optimism I elaborated on in the post you quoted. That "faith" is what I recommend to otherwise faithless people who have a hard time identifying with people of religious faith, and who tend towards a negative or overly pessimistic view of people in general.
With regard to what you're talking about, your optimism and open-mindedness re: their conservative beliefs will earn you some trust, which you can then use to help explain why your secular morality and their religious beliefs are not incompatible. Once you get to the point where you can both agree that intelligent adults can have otherwise conflicting views on certain issues, and yet still agree that the other is a "good person," you can begin to use that common ground to broaden their world view.
Most religious conservatives think that the secular world is openly hostile to them. You need to show them otherwise, but you can't do that if you don't trust them first. Believe it or not, even the most dour fundamentalist tends to think of themselves as being "optimistic," because they believe that God will solve their problems in the end. You need to show them that you can be optimistic too, because you believe that mankind, as children of God, have the ability to recognize and choose the right path. You can co-opt their own logic, use their faith to help convince them, so long as you're sincere and they don't think you're just trying to manipulate their beliefs to your advantage.

Cloak of Spell Reflect: oh yes, the spell worked...and then it pulled a U-turn.

only had to do that once
don't read any more Heinlein, either
Oboro, you have done enough bad things to fill out an entire bad idea, good idea movie.
Good idea: Read a book.
Bad idea: Engage in a master-slave lifestyle because of said book.

What if the book is SM 101 by Jay Wiseman?
Or maybe The New Bottoming Book by Dossie Easton?

Ain't no problem you can't solve in loveology with a larger sample size.

Yeah, but they're women. Women can't be gay, everyone knows that. They can only be drunk and curious. It's really not that complicated.
