  • Same. I particularly love those. Matthew is a bop:

    Matthew 26: 52

    “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.”

    and similarly

    Matthew 7:1-2

    1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

    Matthew 5:27-29 - Adultery in the Heart

    27 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

    Word by word: It doesn’t matter what women wear, if you can’t restrain yourself then take your eye out.

    Matthew 9:12

    When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. […]"







  • This is hard since I study CS. It’s a pretty individualistic setting where people usually study by watching videoclasses and doing lone projects. The study group is usually the clique you make on the first month of classes. Ever since my first two cliques dissolved as people dropped out I found myself pretty much stranded alone on academical matters.

    I live in Brazil and the night is scary. Parks are dominated by the homeless and addicts. Gas stations are usually inhabited by conservative folk I’m far too queer to mingle with (this entire country but the southeast is basically a red state). No metros here and the bus station is also somewhat of a dangerous place at night.

    On sports, school was already a nightmare. Always picked off last, didn’t have reflexes, didn’t even have the strength to throw the ball to score on basketball. Maybe martial arts. They’re usually cool.

    Thanks for your reply.


  • Universities here don’t have official clubs. There are some shenanigans people get into, but they aren’t sponsored or even organized unless they serve some societal or educational purpose. It’s also a bit hard to learn about them. My best bet is paying attention to the boards in the corridors and at the library because the good ol’ A4 sheet ad is immortal. Even then it’s rare for new stuff to get advertised. Maybe if I make a habit of going earlier once a week to scour every campus for new ads.

    I can’t get into more classes right now. I can only change my classes at the start of each semester and for mental health reasons I only take 2, max 3 classes at once. The issue is that all my teachers lumped their 4 classes in the week to be lectured consecutively, which is why I only go two days on a week.

    How far is the commute?

    40 minutes on the bus, 15 on a private taxi. My city has good traffic but even the bus is a bit expensive. Each ride is about a minimum hourly wage and the private taxi is double that. I won’t go by bike because I would have to cross two avenues and a busy highway. But going to university just to hang about scouting for people feels silly.

    Join something that is obviously designed for another major. IEEE or a poetry club or cuisine club.

    That’s actually a good idea, since I mingle way better with humanities students than my fellow compsci students.

    Thanks for your answer :)







  • Honestly I still discuss online but it’s very rare. Mostly with teenagers since they are usually more open.

    There is a problem of even where to confront with reason. Most of the time you hinder more than you help on mainstream social media, because more comments on a post will boost it on the algorithm and distribute the original poster’s message further while they remain wilfully ignorant.

    I did that for years. Many years. It burned me out and made me much more of a thin-skinned and intolerant person with those around me in real life.

    I love places where they willingly come to redeem themselves (like r/IncelExit) but otherwise I just stray very, very far. It took a heavy toll on my mind.

    It is a noble thing but one that shouldn’t be required of most users.
