i cannot hold stable relationships because to some extent im a manchild

(7-3-20) You both like conversation.

You: heyaa

Stranger: hi

You: so I have a question

You: some advice

You: that I want to ask for a friend

Stranger: okie dokie

You: so I have a friend

You: who goes through like a lot of stuff

You: and she needs to vent to ppl

You: but she often exhausts the ppl that she vents to

You: and doesn't want to vent to strangers

You: what should she do?

Stranger: hmmm

Stranger: wait give me a sec to respond

Stranger: she should find a good drug

Stranger: wink wink

You: ohhh

You: ummm what do you mean literally?

Stranger: no

Stranger: i actually dont understand the question

Stranger: see im a bit retarded atm

You: oh are you high?

Stranger: hhahahha... noooooOOooooooooooooooooooooo

Stranger: ..

You: well that's fine

Stranger: :)

You: what do you do on omegle when you're high?

Stranger: im not actually high

Stranger: i just come here to chill and to talk to some people

Stranger: you?

You: ohh okay

You: um not much really

You: I guess I just talk to people too

Stranger: have you had any successful convos thus far?

You: well sure, every once in a while

You: today I talked to a married lady who is cheating on her husband

Stranger: i dont believe you but tell me more!

You: well she thinks marrying him was a mistake

Stranger: yikes

You: she said he's "broken" and only plays pc games

Stranger: do you have like screenshots of that convo?

You: sure hold on a sec

You: https://anonymoustalks.tumblr.com/post/622641993728901120

You: I repost a lot of my omegle conversations onto tumblr lol

Stranger: what for?

Stranger: just curios

You: idk I just collect them

You: sometimes I think they're kind of interesting

Stranger: ahhh.. yeah collections i get that

Stranger: of course of course

Stranger: lots of interesting stories but majority are fake

Stranger: you know that right?

Stranger: people like to portray themselves as something theyre not

You: yup but it's kind of like a pointless hobby amongst pointless hobbies?

You: like when I was a kid I used to collect sea shells

You: and rocks

Stranger: beautifully worded

You: they sat it a line on my window sill

You: but they're just kind of like ugly rocks

You: I think years later I threw them away

Stranger: :(

You: yeah things happen when years pass

You: is there anything that you've regretted over the years?

Stranger: of course

Stranger: many many many things

Stranger: but then again

Stranger: its life

Stranger: regrets are for pussies

Stranger: sorry for being blunt

You: no it's fine

You: do you have like a #1 regret even though apparently you don't keep them lol?

Stranger: Yea I do

Stranger: but I want you to tell me yours first

Stranger: if youre comftrable with that

Stranger: comfortable

You: ohh I don't really have one off the top of my head so I have to think about it first

You: ummm

You: I think the year I regret most was probably my sophomore summer in college

You: I basically spent the entire time depressed and inside my dorm

You: for an entire summer

You: so yeah it's like a really basic and dull thing

You: but I feel like I could have done a lot more with that time

Stranger: same here

Stranger: i understand you one on one

You: or well like that feeling that you've wasted a lot of time

Stranger: yup!

Stranger: im 20 btw

Stranger: what about you

You: ohh cool

You: 26

You: I think I regretted it more after I graduated lol

Stranger: just for the record youre male, right?

You: yup sure

Stranger: okay so you regretted because of sooo.. many missed opportunities??

You: basically yes

Stranger: same here

You: isn't it like... the summer for you right now?

Stranger: its summer but its so foggy here

Stranger: kinda thrilling

You: so what's the missed opportunity that you wish you could be doing?

Stranger: develop social skills

Stranger: when i was young

Stranger: i realized the value of my beauty

Stranger: and i mean i was really good looking

You: past tense?

Stranger: so i didnt bother investing in personality

Stranger: yes

You: oh

You: so you're not happy with your personality?

Stranger: not at all.. i cannot hold stable relationships because to some extent im a manchild

You: that's a pretty harsh thing to say about yourself

Stranger: i simply didnt bother making it more profound and vibrant :(

You: :c

Stranger: i know

You: how do you make yourself more profound and vibrant?

Stranger: idk... i.. was socially outcasted because i couldnt fit in. I was this good looking boy in the crowd that looked vibrant but then again.. no real depth to him

Stranger: im talking in 3rd person a little my bad

You: that's fine, I feel like I know a few people who talk in third person

Stranger: so no way i can find a way to make myself vibrant

You: I'm not totally sure if I understand why you might have been socially outcasted

Stranger: neither do i

Stranger: whats your story

You: or well, you sound pretty normal on omegle at least

Stranger: thank you, that means a lot to me

You: well, I don't really have that much of a story

You: I think it's pretty stereotypical stuff

You: like acting the way I was expected to act

You: doing okay at school and stuff

You: and I didn't really like to get close to people

Stranger: how come..

You: I don't think I was either liked or disliked

You: mhmm I think I'm just the kind of introvert who prefers alone time more than social company?

You: like sometimes i spot a friend in the supermarket and then hide lol

Stranger: is it because no one sees you for who you really are?

Stranger: is that why you.. hide?

You: that's a pretty deep analysis lol

You: uhh I'm not sure if there's that profound of a reason

You: I think I just don't like to hang out with people

Stranger: i dont like it either, but then i again i want it.. but the second i get it, i dont want it

Stranger: do you feel the same way?

You: huuh, maybe, except I rarely want it I think

You: but there have definitely been times I was hanging out with classmates and I felt so awkward

You: since I don't listen to much music or watch tv shows

You: so I have almost nothing to talk about

Stranger: nothing to talk about yet the soul is filled with so many adventurous, thats how i felt

Stranger: i have this thing

Stranger: inside me

Stranger: i have this great world

Stranger: wonderful place

You: oh that sounds interesting

Stranger: and its amazing stories which i tell to myself over and over again but when i tell it to someone else

Stranger: its alien to them... they dont get it.. see it.. or understand it

You: maybe you should write it down

You: and there's a better way to express it

Stranger: of course ive considered writing it down

Stranger: but i like having my own head as a closet

Stranger: where i keep all the special things

You: mhm

You: it sounds very important to you

Stranger: you know

Stranger: i have your other convo opened in a second monitor

Stranger: you can somewhat read between the lines

You: hm?

Stranger: you are an empath

Stranger: right?

You: um, I'm not totally sure haha

You: I just like talking to strangers sometimes

Stranger: oh okay.. i guess you like hearing stories and i like connecting with others

Stranger: hmm

You: ohh do you consider yourself an empath?

Stranger: i am too empathetic to the point where its not good

You: mhmm I've heard some people say that

You: I'm not sure if I've always understood it

You: I think empathy is a good thing

Stranger: its good, but when you feel and understand the other person's pain it could be a curse sometimes

You: mhm...

Stranger: because you get so involved

You: right.. does this have anything to do with the relationships you were talking about earlier?

Stranger: just like a narrator, bringing back some of the old points hahaha

Stranger: im not sure

Stranger: i think its because i... i was looking for something depe within them but didnt find it

Stranger: i guess i was looking for the same broken person like me

You: oh...

You: that sounds very heavy

You: maybe a little dark too

Stranger: oops

Stranger: lets slide back a little

You: haha it's okay ^^

You: I think it's nice that you shared a little more

Stranger: so you come here just to... talk and then.. poooofff.. disapper?

You: yup pretty much!

You: uhh it's kind of the plus side of omegle imo

You: it's kind of no strings attached...

Stranger: im one of those people who does want some strings

You: ahh sorry :c

Stranger: thats okay

Stranger: do you know about the "unbearable lightness of being"?

You: nope

Stranger: its a person who doesnt have strings attached and always wanders around

Stranger: never settles

Stranger: always on the move

Stranger: but as humans

Stranger: we need to settle at some point, thats why its so fun and so depressing

Stranger: it gets hard after awhile

Stranger: yup

You: hard to settle?

Stranger: just doesnt feel comfortable to settle

You: I guess so

You: I think for me I might be looking for escape to some extent?

You: like I feel like I am grounded to a degree

You: but it's nice to wander around my anchor lol

Stranger: lol\

Stranger: i want to escape too.. i have these vivid dreams about always running away.. from something..???

Stranger: idk

Stranger: i just want to.. escape

You: mhmm

You: for me I've been on the same career path for many years

You: and also I've been in the same relationship for 8 years haha

You: so sometimes I'm curious about what kind of life other people have had

You: and I guess for me is somewhat the exciting part about omegle

Stranger: oh...

Stranger: you live for the stories hahahahh

Stranger: thats comforting

You: mhm maybe!

You: I mean, sometimes I feel like that everyone around me irl sounds the same

You: so I feel like it's a bubble

Stranger: it is a bubble

Stranger: its something that is there but we cant see it

Stranger: i wanna pop it but i cant lol

Stranger: its ok :)

You: lol

You: it sounds like you're looking for a lot of really cool and interesting things

You: and I like your positivity

Stranger: thank you so much

Stranger: i know strings for you arent ideal

Stranger: but you can add me on discord

Stranger: afterall, i am looking to make new friends :)

You: mhm I'm sorry :c it's just something that I don't do on omegle

You: but I think you're on a roll today!

Stranger: oh... maybe i am hahahah

You: you sound like a friendly person in general haha

Stranger: compliments upon compliments is really nice to hear, especially from a stranger

Stranger: much appreciated

Stranger: you navigate convos very well

You: well, they're not really compliments

Stranger: a little too well.. makes it a little spooky to know that youre so in control

You: tbh I just don't understand when you said you're socially outcasted / etc

You: because I mean this conversation is fluid because of you too

Stranger: i have 0 friends yet ive had over 6 relationships total

You: well, I mean that's more than a lot of people can say haha xD

You: I think I know a lot of people who struggle to get even one relationship

You: so I think you should have some confidence for yourself

Stranger: hahah i think i should but what im really looking, and have been lookinf for already like 4 years

Stranger: is a friend

Stranger: just a friend

You: mhmm lol I feel like a lot of people on omegle are looking for relationships haha

Stranger: lmfao those horny idiots hahahahahh

Stranger: omg i cant stand them

You: mhm totally

Stranger: yea idk i thought this place is ideal for finding a friend but so many people looking for relationships, like you said

Stranger: idk why

Stranger: lmao

You: mhmm... friends are weird I think

You: or well, it's hard for me to comprehend friendships haha

Stranger: same hahahah

You: well in either case, it was nice talking to you today!

Stranger: Yup!

You: good luck with everything!

Stranger: thank you! Stay safe and take care!

You: byebye!

You have disconnected.

I told my husband I felt neglected and tempted to cheat, and he didn't care

(7-3-20) You both like conversation.

You: heya

Stranger: Hiya

You: how's your day?

Stranger: Going ok. Slow. You?

You: I have to go to work in like half an hour

You: I spent my morning reading about the epstein case

Stranger: I'm glad they finally got her

You: one of the victim's memoirs

You: yeah

Stranger: I see

You: it's really jarring to read

You: or well, heavy

Stranger: Yeah. I watched the documentary on Netflix. But it's so much bigger than just them

You: mhm

You: I think for me, as I was reading, it feel like I saw familiar patterns in it, which felt kind of creepy

Stranger: The documentary was unimpressive. Almost like it was covering for the larger conspiracy.

Stranger: Familiar to what?

You: in the sense that I feel like I know certain people like either the victim or the abusers or others

Stranger: I understand. With similar stories.

You: well my uncle has like this company and has a lot of money

You: growing up he had like three houses, a boat

You: and some of his demeanor just seemed familiar to like the way many of the ppl epstein affiliated himself with

You: kind of like the ego/bravado-ness that is kind of trump-y

Stranger: Oof, that's a scary realization

You: a lot of the victims also had really heavy family stories or backgrounds

Stranger: Yeah, that's who they prey upon. Vulnerable.

You: and then I started thinking about some people I met online with heavy histories

You: yeah

Stranger: I see

You: like I have one online friend who just can't stop dating people

You: who honestly aren't good for her

Stranger: Sounds like daddy issues

You: yeah idk

You: I don't always know what's going on with people

You: but it sounds worrisome

Stranger: Yeah. People hide things well.

You: yeah

Stranger: You sound like a good friend, though

You: well, idk

You: yes and no in the sense that I ghosted her from time to time

You: it's just so much to handle

Stranger: I understand

You: like she's a drama magnet

Stranger: Yeah, I have an aversion to those

You: mhm my life is really simple in comparison

You: or well, it's so strange to wrap my head around all this drama that people get into

Stranger: Yeah, it's fascinating to people who live pretty straightforward lives

You: mhm do you go through much drama?

Stranger: I'm not a dramatic person, no. I have zero conflict with friends.

Stranger: But my marriage is very dramatic.

You: ahh... I'm sorry to hear that

Stranger: Lol it's fine

You: would it be prying to ask?

Stranger: Nope. Otherwise I wouldn't have brought it up

Stranger: I got married really young, at 19.

Stranger: We're just very different. He's pretty broken and addicted to pc gaming.

Stranger: Ignores me.

You: ahh :c

Stranger: So I come on here for connection I guess?

Stranger: It's not that dramatic lol.

You: it's just sad I guess

Stranger: And you? Simple life then?

You: well, I have marriage-related complications too I guess

You: although I'm not married

You: just engaged

You: although I feel like I've been delaying the topic of marriage

Stranger: I see. If it's complicated, you should end it, tbh.

You: or I'm not mentally there or something

You: well, it's not altogether that bad

Stranger: That's really selling it, lol

You: like my partner is wonderful in every way

Stranger: Oh

You: I have like lgbt complications of various sorts which makes it feel vaguely complicated for me

Stranger: You're wondering if there's something better?

You: well, not exactly that; I think my fiancee is amazing and we have a really great relationship in terms of companionship

Stranger: Ah, sexually?

You: I think that's where things are a little weirder, yes

You: I mean, we're totally clear and transparent about this

You: but I think it just keeps popping up in my mind from time to time

Stranger: Hmm,that's tough

You: like we trust each other totally and love each other in all of those ways

You: it's just that sex is challenging lol

Stranger: As in your sex isn't great?

You: mhmm... I just don't have much interest in it, I guess?

Stranger: Because of your partner's gender? Or your partner themself?

You: I think maybe it's my gender moreso than theirs idk

You: I think I'm in general just not very interested in women

You: but I feel like my connection with my partner is way more than on a sexual level

Stranger: You're going to suffer if you marry her though

Stranger: Sounds like a friend.

You: I mean I've never dated any guys lol

You: and I'm not sure if I want to

You: we've been together for 8 years lol

Stranger: Is she aware of this?

You: and we finally got engaged last year

You: yup!

Stranger: Well,it's good you're so honest

Stranger: And if she's not scared and trusts you, that's great

You: it's kind of like this hard spot where it feels like we're mutually dependent on each other

You: like it feels too scary for either of us to let go, I guess

Stranger: I understand that

You: and I don't think I want to

Stranger: I wouldn't get married unless I was over the moon about it though.

Stranger: You'll cheat eventually

You: mhm

Stranger: I went ahead and married even with red flags

Stranger: And I 100% regret it

You: I see

Stranger: But I shouldn't project my issues on you

You: it feels like time is slipping away for me

Stranger: How old are you?

You: like I guess in a sense we delayed for so long because we weren't sure

You: I'm 26 she's 28

Stranger: I see. Not that old yet. But I understand. It's really tough to detach after 8 yrs. I'm sorry.

You: yeah

You: or well, I feel like I'm the kind of person who would just sort of carry on with the status quo

You: like we're both very happy cohabitating

Stranger: It's comfortable and you know each other.

You: and then I feel like next thing I know it it's going to be like 10 years lol

Stranger: Yeah

Stranger: I've been with someone online for 2 yrs now

Stranger: I'm cheating

You: ohh interesting

You: yeah I can understand

Stranger: And it's like night and day. Of course, it's semi fantasy and I don't have to deal with the day to day problems with him.

Stranger: But I'm experiencing what it's like to truly admire, respect and love someone

You: mhm

Stranger: And to be excited

You: right

Stranger: So I can only offer my experience. But I would really think about it.

You: yeah, thank you for sharing

Stranger: She seems like a really good person. So I understand the conflict.

Stranger: I told my husband I felt neglected and tempted to cheat, and he didn't care. So it's a different boat.

You: ahh :c

Stranger: I wish you the best though. You should stay away from drama friend though. Those people just suck nice people like you into their black holes.

You: aww haha okay

You: yeah and i wish you the best too

You: I guess it's close to my half hour

You: so it was nice talking!

Stranger: Thanks. Have a good day at work!

Stranger: Bye

You: bye!

You have disconnected.

I mean, not to be rude to other countries, but America is somehow one of the most free countries in the world. I believe this has a lot to do with the right to bear arms

(6-23-20) You both like politics.

You: hiyaa

Stranger: hi

Stranger: Where from?

You: us east

Stranger: California

You: mhm

You: anything you care about?

Stranger: Wdym?

You: oh, just things that you're interested in

You: what do you think of affirmative action? I think it's on your ballot in november?

Stranger: Instead of Affirmative action, I support a UBI for all citizens

You: okay

You: they're sort of different though haha

You: so for a yes/no ballot question, which would you be?

Stranger: I'd say no

You: okay

Stranger: How would you describe yourself politically?

You: moderate left

Stranger: Nice. I'm a Paleoconservative/civic nationalist

You: paleoconservative...?

Stranger: Yeah it means I'm a conservative but I think dinosaurs are cool

You: really?

Stranger: Jokes :)

You: >.>

Stranger: Paleoconservatism is basically fusionism with very little foregein intervention

You: fusionism?

Stranger: Fusionism is social conservatism combine with free market capitalism

You: I think it's interesting that you're fond of UBI even though you consider yourself paleoconservative

Stranger: Yeah, I can't really think of an exact label for myself. But I think UBI is the best form of social welfare

You: I thought paleoconservatives were opposed to most forms of social welfare

You: at least, that's what wikipedia seems to say

Stranger: Like I said, I don't fit into one exact label.

You: right

You: so what you do mean my civic nationalist?

Stranger: Maybe civic nationalist isn't the best word, but I'm definitely some kind of nationalist. I basically believe that members of a nation should share similar values.

You: mhm, I was googling wikipedia and it seems to mostly differentiate between ethnic vs. civic nationalism

You: so does that mean you differentiate yourself from the alt right with less of a focus on ethnicity?

Stranger: I'm definitely not an ethnic nationalist. I'm a brown immigrant living in America. And yes, I do differentiate from the alt right because I don't really care about ethnicity

You: right

You: so as an immigrant, you favor immigration restrictions?

Stranger: Yeah. I think some restrictions are necessary, because like I said members of a nation must share similar values.

You: mhm so it sounds like you care particularly about culture?

Stranger: WDYM?

You: mhm I guess to me it sounded like you were saying that members of a nation should have a similar culture?

You: or do you distinguish between values and culture?

Stranger: Not necessarily similar culture. Values are ideals you hold true regardless of your culture. A muslim from Dubai can immigrate here just as easily as a catholic from Italy, as long they share similar values to the nation.

You: mhm "similar values" being?

You: I feel like I've encountered people on omegle who would argue that islamic culture is incompatible with western values, for instance

Stranger: I would define values as ideals. Ideals such as the notion that every individual should be able to dictate their own lives free from governmental authouity (but neccesarly from social consequences) , ideals such as the ideals of justice and virtue

Stranger: And I don't think there is anything inherently in compatible about islam and the west

You: mhm, I just find it curious because I feel like I've encountered people with differing opinions about this subject

Stranger: there are a lot of different opinions on this subject for sure

Stranger: Pro-life or pro-choice?

You: pro-choice

You: so secretary of state mike pompeo is planning to issue a human rights panel that prioritizes freedom of religion over the other rights

Stranger: How? I'm not familiar with this

You: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/08/pompeo-panel-unalienable-rights-1400023

You: there was also a nytimes article

You: in a sense it's the US taking a stance that religious freedom is a "human right" in essence more important than the other ones

Stranger: So they're prioritizing the right to freedom of religion over LGBT and women's rights?

You: yes

You: there's criticism that this has broad repercussions internationally

Stranger: Good

You: because in a sense it runs in counter to the UN's definitions of "human rights"

Stranger: I'm bisexual, and I don't believe the government should have a say in what is marriage and what isn't

You: and would limit UN and other countries of criticizing nations like saudi arabia on women's rights

Stranger: That's a violation of free speech as well

You: what is a violation of free speech?

Stranger: Oh nvm. I thought you meant limiting citizen's rights to criticize those countries

Stranger: Still fucked up

You: I also don't believe governments should say what is marriage and what isn't

You: that said, many places have laws explicitly banning homosexual marriage

You: so imo that's sort of like governments trying to have a say

Stranger: That's true. My point is they shouldn't

You: what was your position on abortion?

Stranger: I'm conflicted tbh

You: ah why?

Stranger: I understand that most women want to get an abortion for very legitimate reasons like not being able to afford to raise one, or being the victim of rape, ect. But I also don't think it's fair to take a life because of something it has no control over

You: at what point do you consider an embryo/fetus to be "living"?

You: because I mean, most pro-choice advocates obviously aren't in favor of infanticide

Stranger: At the point it can feel pain

You: so if you define it that way, I think you could prob be in favor of abortion in the first trimester

You: before the embryo develops major organs

Stranger: Yeah I guess that's fair

You: mhm I think most pro-choice advocates aren't so extreme to believe in abortion of full-term babies -- that's kind of a ridiculous position

You: rather I think many pro-life advocates are sort of against abortion as a principle

Stranger: Yeah obviously

You: I think I talked to someone who felt that the "potential" for life was sacred -- like even a single cell zygote after a sperm as fused with an egg

Stranger: I'm an agnostic, so I don't really consider anything to be sacred

You: yeah

You: or well, some people are spiritual enough to believe in souls too

You: and I think some people believe that the soul enters as soon as conception happens

Stranger: opinions on gun control?

You: pro, but I think it should be determined by state

You: I don't like the 2nd amendment lol

Stranger: MADATORY👏TRIGGER👏DISCIPLINE👏CLASSES👏IN👏HIGH👏SCHOOL

You: mhm what do you mean?

Stranger: I think that schools should be required to teach their students basic trigger discipline

You: what does that mean?

Stranger: Like how to handle a gun, different kinds of guns, how to avoid accidents, when to use it ect.

You: oh, but isn't that taught when you get a firearm permit?

Stranger: Make getting a permit mandatory is what I'm saying

You: oh, it's not mandatory?

You: well idk gun laws in other states

Stranger: No, not "If you want a gun you have to have a permit". I mean, "everyone should have a gun, so everyone must be required to get a permit at a certain age"

You: ohhh

You: why should everyone have a gun?

Stranger: Switzerland had a similar law, so it's not that crazy. People shouldn't be forced to get a gun, just a permit. I think firearms are important to protect us incase the government got too powerful, and obviously for people to defend themselves.

You: oh okay

You: I think this is the main "american" value that I don't personally believe very much in

Stranger: I think the second amendment is the second most important amendment, next to the first

Stranger: maybe even more important than the first

You: interesting...

You: I just don't really personally recognize it as a universal as a human right or anything

You: and only a small handful of countries in the world have a "right to bear arms" as a constitutional right

You: there's actually a wikipedia article on this

Stranger: I mean, not to be rude to other countries, but America is somehow one of the most free countries in the world. I believe this has a lot to do with the right to bear arms

You: hmm... I kind of contest that statement, in the sense that I think Canada and Australia are in many circumstances ahead of the US

Stranger: I don't know too much about those countries. Most countries are not in the west, and most eastern countries don't have nearly as much freedom

You: Well to quote wikipedia: "Constitutions which historically guaranteed a right to bear arms are those of Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Liberia, Mexico, Nicaragua and the United States of America."

Stranger: Interesting...

You: basically all other countries don't recognize gun rights as a constitutional right

Stranger: I'll have to look into this later

You: although many countries have laws pertaining how you can get a gun permit though

Stranger: One core American principle I oppose is the concept of democracy

You: hm what do you mean?

Stranger: I don't believe every citizen over certain age should be allowed the right to vote. I'm also a constitutional monarchist

You: ohhh

You: constitutional monarchist?

Stranger: Monarchy with a strict constitution to keep it from abusing it's power

You: ^^ I just had the funny thought that if you don't support democracy you ain't american, so based on your immigration ideas you shouldn't be allowed to immigrate (jkjk)

Stranger: Damn it, I can hear ICE at my door

You: idk, I like having a diversity of ideas

Stranger: Sure, but once you allow unrestricted immigration, your nation over time will loose the same values that made it so great

You: mhmm I believe the US has always being a melting pot

You: I'm still not always clear about what "values" btw

You: I feel like I hear many evangelicals worried about christian values for instance

You: but I think that is tinged through a religious lens

Stranger: True, I'm saying different ideas are bad, I'm saying certain principles must be shared by the citizens of the nation. The values I believe in are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiniess

You: mhm and you think there are immigrants who don't believe in that?

Stranger: Yes. Immigrants that do believe that absolutely should be able to immigrate here

You: it's interesting because I feel like many immigrants tend to lean relatively conservative

You: at least, more conservative than (white) progressive liberals

Stranger: Yeah, I've noticed that as well. Most people that have been rude to me on the basis of my sexuality or skin color have been immigrants

You: in either case, I do think many immigrants strongly supportive of capitalistic values, like right to property and not wanting much social welfare or taxes

You: at least, that's just based on what I think I've noticed

Stranger: yeah that's true as well

Stranger: what do you think of the LGBT community?

You: I'm fine with them

You: why?

Stranger: I support people being LGBT (I am one) but not the community

You: I think that's fine

Stranger: Yeah, I feel like stuff like pride month are only hurting the cause

You: mhm I feel like I had heard someone say something similar

You: although I think freedom of expression is important

Stranger: Of course it is, the government should have no right to ban pride parades and such, but I personally feel like it's harming the cause

You: I think many ppl have different ways of perceiving their own experience and things

Stranger: wdym>

Stranger: 8wdym?

Stranger: *wdym?

You: oh I mean, some people feel like it's beneficial and others thing it is not so

You: we live in a subjective world lol

You: although I think conservative lgbt folks I've talked to don't seem to like the idea of pride as much

You: I wonder if it's because they don't want to be seen as radical by their friends

Stranger: I mean people who oppose the LGBT community oppose it because they think it's not normal, or that we're trying to shove to down their face. Pride months and trying so hard to stand out on the basis of your sexuality or gender which you can't control, makes the people who already oppose it dislike it even more

You: mhm I understand what you're saying

Stranger: I think I have to go no. It was nice talking to you

You: alright have a good evening!

Stranger: you to!

Stranger has disconnected.

One that really always bothered me is that a lot of people assume that if you have some kind of physical deformity, it means you are mentally challneged

(6-21-20)) You both like politics.

Stranger: Hi

You: hiya

Stranger: Age?

You: 26

Stranger: 27

Stranger: Got a topic?

You: I was reading about humiliation

You: and hazing

Stranger: In frats?

You: mhm just in general

You: I was just on the feminism tag

Stranger: Ah

You: we didn't really talk about the it, but the other person mentioned: "Who are we canceling today?"

Stranger: Is that something that actually gets discussed?

You: which I assume is a sarcastic remark

Stranger: I always thought just one person like makes a post, and then everyone else just kinda goes with it

You: yup

Stranger: So, any interesting insight on humiliation and hazing?

You: not really, I'm just trying to understand it

You: I was on reddit today

You: and for my city subreddit

You: someone posted a screenshot of someone saying something on facebook

You: and owner of an auto repair shop

You: basically saying to boycot this guy because he's a white supremacist

You: anyhow I don't have a lot of interesting insights

You: anything that you care about in particular?

Stranger: What do you think about the declining birthrate in developed nations?

You: I don't really have a strong opinion about it

You: I think it's fine

You: although I think some people worry about the economy

Stranger: Do you think it plateaus around 1 child per woman?

Stranger: Or keeps going further down?

You: idk, I'm not super familiar with the statistics or literature

You: is there a stance you have on it?

Stranger: I think it will probably go down significantly further than 1

You: mhm and why is that?

You: and do you think that's a bad thing?

Stranger: Because I don't think the trends that are causing it are going to be abated at all. Its partly economic and party due to cultural shift.

Stranger: I'm not sure

You: I've heard people argue that it's worrisome from an economic standpoint

Stranger: If it continues, we better hope automation is coming along as strongly as people hope

Stranger: people*

You: but at the same time, I'm pro-environment, so I don't think it's all a bad thing if humanity decreases its footprint

You: I mean I don't support genocide or birth control policies

Stranger: Eh, I think technological innovation is more important for our environmental footprint

You: but I'm not complaining if there's less people on the planet

You: or well, I don't think there's anything intrisincally good about having a high world population

Stranger: Intrinsically no

Stranger: Instrumentally, there are advantages

Stranger: Also, it might be a natural consequence of other things that are intrinsically good

You: hm what do you mean?

Stranger: I'd hold that its intrinsically good if people are able to live out there aspirations, and their aspiration might include having kids

You: ahh okay

You: I believe in reproductive freedom

Stranger: I tend to think most people probably will be happier in the long run if they have kids

You: like if people want to have few kids, or more kids, it should be up to them

You: that said it makes sense that we're not at the replacement birthrate

You: like for me, 2 kids is ideal

Stranger: I think that ideal is a bit narrow

You: but you need a lot of people having 3 kids in order to balance the ppl who aren't having kids or 1 kid

You: but I mean, just imo, 3+ kids is a lot

Stranger: You are considering it from a standpoint of sustainable growth if we hold that having 2 kid families is as optimal for development of children as anything else

You: ohh, I just meant it personally

You: like from my own family standpoint

Stranger: Personally, I'm undecided

Stranger: I might not choose to have kids at all. But, if I do choose to do it, I'd prefer a large family

You: are you male or female?

You: just curious

Stranger: Male

Stranger: Yourself?

You: mhm I'm female

You: I think there's an age consideration too

Stranger: I think larger families have better dynamics if the money is there to support them

You: like I think ppl are getting married later

You: and having kids later

You: like I think 3 kids is maybe more reasonable if you start having kids in your 20's

Stranger: Yes, I think this is especially impactful with women

You: but if you start in your 30's there's just not as much time

You: in either case, I'd like to aim for 2

Stranger: Depends on the gender

You: well yeah, I was talking about for women

Stranger: If I do decide to get married and have kids, I'll likely marry a woman considerably younger than myself

You: mhm I think it's somewhat kind of random who ppl end up encountering

You: well unless you do like formal dating/matchmaking I guess

Stranger: I think that depends on the person. I have friends who are more picky and friends who just take the first thing that comes along

You: I just think it takes time to find someone haha ^^

You: your 20's pass by in a flash lol

Stranger: It really depends on your situation

You: for you, how long do you think it is good to date before marrying?

Stranger: At least 1 yeear

Stranger: year*

Stranger: Probably between 1-2 years

Stranger: I think if you aren't settled on it by the end of 2 years, then its probably not the right one

You: really?

You: I feel like I know a lot of couples who have been dating a long time

You: but haven't married

Stranger: I'm also someone who dates like that too though

Stranger: I give girls expiration dates in my mind. If I get to that date and don't feel like making it more serious, then I dump them.

You: huhh that's interesting

You: I've been in my current relationship for 8 years lol

Stranger: I've never been in one longer than 7 months

Stranger: How old are you again?

You: 26

Stranger: So, this is your only adult relationship

You: yup

You: first and only

Stranger: I'm kinda that complete opposite of you

Stranger: the*

You: yeah I'm aware that I'm kind of unusual

Stranger: I've didn't date all in my teens and early 20s

Stranger: at all*

You: mhm

Stranger: I got my first date, much less first girlfriend, at 23

Stranger: I've dated regularly since then though

You: so what are some reasons why a bunch of them didn't work out?

Stranger: But, never longer than a few months

Stranger: Oh, mostly just that I don't want to settle down

You: oh

Stranger: I'm open to the possibility that I'll fall in love to the extent that I decide I want to settle down with the person even though it doesn't fit my preferred timeframe

You: are you a very objective date-r?

Stranger: But, if that doesn't happen, then I'd rather not date a girl for too long

Stranger: What do you mean?

Stranger: Like, do I have a spread sheet of traits they have to match?

You: yup

Stranger: I have my preferences and dealbreakers like anyone

Stranger: But, I don't think mine are that precise or crazy

You: yeah

You: I guess I'm just unfamiliar with the dating world

You: I have one friend who did online dating (like the paid kind)

You: and it's just eye opening to see what it's like I guess

Stranger: Like, I don't date outside of a certain age range

You: mhm

Stranger: I don't date single moms

You: ohh why not?

Stranger: Because I have no desire to be a step father

You: mhm you sound like you care a lot about having kids

Stranger: Well, 2 things

Stranger: 1. I said if I had them I'd want a lot. I might just decide not have them at all. I'm ok with that

Stranger: 2. My own kids. Not somebody elses. I'd only raise a kid who wasn't my own if it was like a niece or nephew or godchild that was left to me after their parents passed

You: mhm and you wouldn't adopt, clearly

Stranger: Yeah, for me, having kids in large part is about making them, not just having a child to raise

You: hmm

You: I think I like the idea of kids in general

Stranger: So, you don't care if they aren't you own biologically?

You: although I think my parents have expectations

You: I mean I do, but at the same time, I think what I look forward to most is just having them grow up you know?

You: like I don't look forward to childbith lol

Stranger: I mean, if fate forced me to take responsibility for a kid, I'd treat like my own even if they weren't biologically

You: mhm

Stranger: I have a lot of respect for step-father/mothers and adoptive parents

Stranger: Its just not a burden I want to seek out

You: that makes sense

Stranger: I'd be fine not having kids and just living a free life

You: oh for me, if I was infertile or something, i would consider adoptin

Stranger: But, if I do have them, I'll take that burden in return for getting to have my own biological offspring

Stranger: If I found out I was infertile, I would just live the rest of my life for my own enjoyment

You: mhm I have a friend whose dream is to have kids and she's infertile

You: so it's like her goal to adopt

Stranger: It would be sad, but in a way, I think finding out I'm infertile would lift a lot of burden off me

You: even though she's not in a relationship

Stranger: I get that

Stranger: I'm physically handicapped, so I know what's it like to want something and have it taken from you

You: ohh is it okay if I ask how so?

Stranger: Marfans syndrome

Stranger: I have a lot of joint and skeletal issues

You: ahh

Stranger: Though, I'm not in a wheelchair or anything

You: is that the hyperflexibility one?

Stranger: Yeah

You: do you have a lot of joint pain or something?

Stranger: Except I had surgery on both my knees and my spine, so the flexibility isn't really there

You: ohh

Stranger: It causes your connective tisseus to be weak and loose

Stranger: Which is why it can make you more flexible

Stranger: But, your connective tissue also help shape your skeleton and organs while your growing as a kid

Stranger: So, it causes all kinds of deformity and malfunction

You: right

You: are you overall okay?

Stranger: Ok is relative. It still causes issues for me, but I've learned to live with it

You: mhm okay

Stranger: That is why I didn't date till 23

You: what is something that you wish other people knew about marfans that they don't?

Stranger: Its tough when you look weird

Stranger: I mean, I guess just what it is

Stranger: Its a very rare condition and most people have never heard of it

You: mhm

Stranger: I didn't start dating until I graduated college and started making money

You: right

Stranger: Before that point, I guess I was viewed as having nothing to offer

Stranger: Since I couldn't offer looks and social acceptance like other guys

Stranger: But, graduating from a good university and being financially independent puts you ahead of a lot of guys these days

You: Did you experience a lot of bias/prejudice?

Stranger: Oh, sure

You: In what ways?

Stranger: Harrassment, exclusion, physical and verbal abuse, condescension, humiliation, you name it

You: If it's okay, what you mind sharing some examples?

Stranger: Suspicion

You: *would you mind

Stranger: One that really always bothered me is that a lot of people assume that if you have some kind of physical deformity, it means you are mentally challneged

Stranger: And they will hold onto this belief even when presented evidence that clearly makes it impossible

You: ahh :c

Stranger: Like, people at my university said they thought I was mentally handicapped when they first met me.

Stranger: I went to a top 20 university

Stranger: There are no special ed classes there

You: oh my goodness

Stranger: And when I pointed out that out, they just said "Well, you could be like rain man"

You: rain man?

Stranger: Then I would say "you've heard me speak, you should be able to tell I'm not like rain man"

Stranger: Dustin Hoffman movie where he plays a man with severe autism, but he's a savant with numbers

You: ahh

Stranger: People just can't shake their ingrained associations like that

Stranger: Unless you confront them

You: yeah, I wonder what's the best way to debunk those assumptions

Stranger: That is why its annoying. The thing I had to do to prevent that from happening was to be aggressively intellectual when meeting people

You: right

Stranger: Which in turn makes a lot of people intimidated by you or think you are an asshole

You: aw :c

Stranger: And its almost impossible to explain to people

Stranger: Because they will just get defensive and claim that you were assuming things or that you are too sensitive

Stranger: Because for them this is a thing that only came up in dealing with me (most people hardly ever deal with someone in my situation, so I'm often the only one they know like that)

You: right

Stranger: Whereas for me this is somthing that comes up like half time I interact with people

You: mhm totally

Stranger: That's a really annoying one, but there is a lot more just garden variety stuff

Stranger: Like having people call me names. Think they can get away with physically assaulting me.

You: what?

Stranger: In high school the same group of like preppy well to do kids had monopolized every academic based after school club

Stranger: Like debate, model UN, school paper, quiz bowl, ect

Stranger: And they literally just refused to talk to me and would do things like throw away my sign up forms for events

You: that's so mean

Stranger: Good luck trying to explain that to a college recruiter when they ask why you don't have that many extra-curriculars

You: yeah...

You: I always wondering how it would come across

You: trying to explain bullying to a college recruiter

You: is it just something that never makes it onto applications?

Stranger: I actually know, because I tried

You: like it just disappears?

Stranger: He said "I hope you didn't put any of this in your application. Georgetown doesn't like people who play the victim"

You: mhm :c

You: in my high school

You: there was the girl with T1 diabetes

You: and I think a lot ppl saw her as lazy and as a complainer

Stranger: Yeah, people don't know

Stranger: When you are in chronic pain or fatigue and there is nothing you can do, it makes everything 10x harder

You: right

Stranger: And other people think they can understand it because they've been in pain or been tired before

Stranger: But its not the same when its chronic

You: yeah

You: I didn't understand any of that in high school

Stranger: Honestly, I hated high school

Stranger: And college

You: mhm was college just as bad?

Stranger: My life only improved when I was in a position to make money and apply my actual competency in way that was rewarded

Stranger: College was just extremely lonely

Stranger: I didn't make any friends at all until my very last year

You: yeah

Stranger: Even then, I think it probably had something to do with it becoming clearer that I had some kind of status in my future

You: was it a self-esteem thing as well?

Stranger: It all happened after I came back from a really prestigious summer internship

You: mhm

Stranger: Maybe, but I doubt it

Stranger: I've never been shy

Stranger: I've always been very confrontation in dealing with other people

You: right

Stranger: confrontational*

Stranger: That was my strategy rather than shying away

Stranger: Like most people in my situation do

You: mhmm

You: I'm not very confrontational

Stranger: I think most people aren't

Stranger: It would be nice to not feel like I have to be

You: yeah

Stranger: I've envied people who can just show up, relax, and get acceptance

You: mhm

You: does this relate to your outlook on politics as well?

You: since well, this is the politics tag?

Stranger: Perhaps

Stranger: Maybe I'd be more libetarian otherwise

Stranger: libertarian*

You: how do you identify?

Stranger: Just broadly liberal

You: mhm

You: is georgetown liberal?

Stranger: Basically, I'm close to being a libertarian except on welfare issues

Stranger: Yeah

Stranger: It has a catholic streak, but mostly catholic progressives

You: mhm

You: have you always been super into politics?

Stranger: Yeah

Stranger: That started with 9-11

Stranger: I'm half Pakistani and I grew up in the South, so my existence became politicized early

You: really? weren't you in elementary school

You: ohhhhhh

You: okay yeah

Stranger: That is probably where a lot of my libertarian streak comes from

You: like you were shoved into politics? or your family made a concious choice to partake in it?

Stranger: Like, all of a sudden I was the enemy identified by the government and everyone was mindlessly falling in line behind rhetoric that denied my legitimacy

Stranger: So, naturally I started trying to make sense of it all

You: right :c

You: yeah I don't know what to say

Stranger: It is what it is

Stranger: But, I do have to go

You: okay thanks for sharing

Stranger: Its been nice talking with you

You: mhm you too

You: have a great day

Stranger has disconnected.

[anonymoustalks]

Well yes these arguments will lead you to a God but not necessarily the God of Christianity. That is why to prove the Bible and not just God you would have look into evidence for the resserection and so on

(6-20-20) You both like religion.

You: hiyo

Stranger: Hi

You: what's up?

Stranger: Not much

Stranger: You?

You: mhm getting reading for bed ish

You: I'm not religious btw

Stranger: I'm a Christian

Stranger: I don't get to bed til like 2am lol

You: lol that's late

You: why do you come to omegle?

Stranger: Idk have nothing else I would rather do

You: oh is this tag any good btw?

Stranger: Depends who you connect to

Stranger: Some just wanna troll

You: what do you normally talk about?

Stranger: Well there are typically a couple type of people on here

Stranger: One just wants to troll religious people

Stranger: Another wants to deabte

Stranger: Another wants to discuss their beliefs not in a debate way

Stranger: And another just does not want to be connected to perverts

Stranger: That is basically this tag

You: mhm

You: which category do you fit in?

Stranger: Either 2 or 3 depending on what the other person wants to do

You: mhm so you're okay with perverts lol?

Stranger: Lol that is not my purpose for putting this tag but it is a benift

You: is it a problem if I'm a little perverted?

Stranger: Depends what you mean

You: mhm

You: well I'm kind of a hippie

You: I believe in loving everyone

You: and any kind of love that you give to others is good

Stranger: By perverted I mean like weird guy who wants sex

You: oh okay

You: so do you debate with other religious ppl?

You: or more so with less religious ppl?

Stranger: I have both

Stranger: Typically if it is another Christian we just discuss theology

Stranger: If not then either we have a debate or just kinda ask about each others beliefs

You: mhm I have two interests on my mind right now

Stranger: Alright

Stranger: What are they?

You: do you want to hear the first one or the second one?

You: uhh one of them is kind of bad

Stranger: Let's hear the second one

You: so today I ended up reading the book of jonah for some reason

You: and I thought it was interesting

You: because like...

You: mhm... how to put it...?

You: everyone in that story behaves well except jonah

You: so I thought was weird

Stranger: That was kinda the point of the story that you can't escape God

You: what's the meaning of the ending?

You: like the vine plant and stuff

Stranger: Give me a sec to read the last chapter again I have it open so it will be fresh in my mind

You: okay

Stranger: Oh ok so it is basically God telling Jonah that his priorities are messed up because he was supposed to preach to the people on the city but he didn't. So the analogy is that the water for the vine which Jonah never gave was supposed to be Jonah preaching to the people. So God is saying that if you care about taking care of this bone how much more should you care about taking care of the people. That is my interpretation at least. Does that make sense

You: I guess so

You: I thought the city was saved though

You: I guess I just didn't understand why he was upset that the city was saved

Stranger: He was angry but God had mercy on them and thought his whole trip was pointless

Stranger: Because*

You: mhm

Stranger: So then God used the analogy of how the water for the bone was supposed to him preaching to the people so they may be saved

Stranger: Does that make sense?

You: oh okay

You: I guess so

Stranger: Idk why it autocorrected to bone I meant vine

You: oh haha

You: it was a really interesting story

Stranger: Yes it is. It is one of the favorite stories in the bible

You: mhm your favorite, or just a general favorite?

Stranger: Just in general pretty everyone has at least heard of it if you live in a semi religious Christian aeea

Stranger: Area*

You: mhm

You: I also thought it was interesting, that he was so willing to be thrown overboard

You: even though he was running away to begin with

You: and then even then the sailors didn't want to throw overboard haha

You: they're so polite I guess

Stranger: Yea that was interesting

Stranger: Is that the only book you read of the Bible?

You: mhm I've read some others but I've forgotten a lot of them

You: I think I read job before

You: and then genesis exodus I guess

Stranger: Oh ok

You: do you have a favorite book?

Stranger: Proverbs

Stranger: Yea

You: mhm because?

Stranger: I believe it has much wisdom to apply

You: mhm

You: is it long?

Stranger: 31 chapters

You: oh I wonder how long it would take to read it

Stranger: I read it over 2 days at 15 chapters a day

Stranger: I read fairly fast but biblical chapters are not that long

You: mhm

You: okay

You: umm so the other thing I had on my mind

You: I guess it's the bad one

Stranger: Yes

You: so why is sex immoral?

Stranger: Sex is not immortal. We believe sex to be a good thing between a husband and a wife

You: mhm I guess extramarital sex

You: um, explained to someone who isn't necessarily christian

Stranger: Because we believe that sex was made by God for marriage because the two become one flesh.

Stranger: Hold up I have a good verse for it

Stranger: “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food,” and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is meant not for fornication but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that whoever is united to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For it is said, “The two shall be one flesh.” But anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Shun fornication! Every sin that a person commits is outside the body; but the fornicator sins against the body itself. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:13‭-‬20 NRSV

You: mhm

You: I guess I was wondering if it applies to me if I'm not religious

Stranger: What do you mean if it applys to you?

Stranger: Sin is sin and the punishment for sin is death

Stranger: And the way to be saved from death is through christ

You: "bodies are members of Christ"?

Stranger: Yes because he is talking to believers

Stranger: Are bodies are also made in the image of God so I do believe it applys

You: what odes it mean that every sin that a person commits is outside the body?

Stranger: It means that besides sexaul immortality all other sin is committed outside ourselves but sex affects our whole body and makes it one flesh with another

You: would it be bad to marry a prostitute?

Stranger: Depends on the context

You: I was just reading the passage I guess

Stranger: If you are a believer and she is not then it is not good

Stranger: If she is a believer and has turned away then it is fine

You: has turned away?

Stranger: From sin and sexual immortality

You: oh

You: are you familiar with other religions' views on sex

You: ?

Stranger: A little bit with the islamic veiw

Stranger: Not much else

You: I guess I'm wondering if there's some kind of secular argument for why it would be immoral

Stranger: I can give secular arguments as to why it is a bad idea to have sex before marriage

Stranger: But if you were to think secularlly then there is no objective morality so everything is technically not good or bas

Stranger: Bad*

You: mhm

You: I guess I'm just trying to reconcile my feelings overall haha ^^

Stranger: It's alright thats normal

Stranger: I suggest you read some of the gospels tho Jesus has some really good teachings

You: mhm

Stranger: His number one teaching is love God with all you heart and number 2 is love your neighbor as yourself

You: mhm the 2nd teaching I can relate a lot too

You: but the first feels like a problem if I just don't believe

Stranger: Do you reject entirely the existence of a God?

You: mhm I don't have much faith there for it, I guess

Stranger: Have you heard any arguments for God? I find some of them quite convincing

You: well if you want to go ahead, that's fine

Stranger: I am referring to classical arguments not just random ones made up.

Stranger: If you are interested then look these up

You: oh okay

You: yeah idk

Stranger: Calam cosmological argument

You: I probably haven't seen them then

Stranger: Argument from objective morality

Stranger: Ontological argument

Stranger: Argument from intelligent design

Stranger: Argument from reason

Stranger: Fine tuning argument

Stranger: And there are many more but those are my favorite

Stranger: If you are interested check them out

You: mhm okay thanks

Stranger: So

Stranger: Anything else?

You: sorry I started to click around

You: mhm not really

You: like outside of my personal values

You: which I guess is a distortion of jesus's teachings

You: in the sense that I feel like it would be good for a person to dedicate themselves to humanity foremost

You: I feel like it would sit easiest with me

Stranger: I believe that we should dedicate ourselves to God and by doing that we should respect humans who are made in his image

You: like I think doing service for your community is very good

You: mhm

You: but yeah idk much, I'm not very sophisticated

Stranger: That's alright no one knows everything. God used a fisherman to be one of his top Apostles

You: mhm

Stranger: So umm

You: sorry

You: if I'm boring you I guess I don't want to keep you either

Stranger: Nah it's fine I'm not doing anything and I think this is a really nice conversation

You: was it?

Stranger: You seem nice

Stranger: And it went better then a lot of conversations

You: thanks, you too

You: yeah, idk I try to absorb a lot of things

You: I think my personal values just kind of differ from many common religious ones

You: but I like many religious values too

You: mhm like inclusivity is a very important value for me I guess

Stranger: Does that differ from religion?

You: hm?

Stranger: I don't see how it does

Stranger: You said inclusivity is important to you

You: ohh

You: idk, I think homosexuality and lgbt are often viewed as sinful by many religions

You: I guess on a part of the fornification parts

Stranger: I believe homosexuality to be a sin and tha God made marriage for a man and a woman. That does not mean we treat them mean and that does not mean we outcast them. We are to show them the love of Christ and livingly tell them why we believe their ways to be sinful

Stranger: Lovingly*

You: mhm yeah I understand

You: I think for me I think all kinds of love are beautiful

You: and I don't really think anything bad can really arise from wholesome love

Stranger: I just think from a biblical perspective that God made marriage for and man and a woman and made sex for a man and a woman. I see homosexual marriage as a perversion of what God intended

You: would it be better if secular ppl just didn't use the word "marriage"?

You: I was just curious

Stranger: For homosexuals? I guess it would be better but I still think that being In a sexual relationship with someone of the same gender is wrong

You: mhm I mean even for me

You: like if another word like "union" was popularized by people who aren't religious

You: like I think on a casual non-religious standpoint, marriage is sort of like an indication of dedication and exclusivity, plus various legal differences

You: I mean, that's just sort of my own understanding of it

You: but if "marriage" as a word is reserved for the religious sense, I was wondering if there should be another word

Stranger: Idk I see marriage as a union between a man and a woman for life where the two become one flesh. That is the biblical definition of marriage

You: mhm yeah, I understand the biblical definition

Stranger: We have been for like an hour no way

Stranger: That can't be right

You: is that unusual?

You: for you?

Stranger: No I just doesn't seem like ti

You: ohh

You: idk sometimes the conversations i'm in can go for a while

Stranger: Same and I'm fine with that but it just doesn't feel like the time has actually passed

You: mhm well for me I guess I was tabbed away for parts of it

Stranger: Are you gonna look up those arguments I gave earlier

You: I looked up some of them

You: I think you might be a lot more sophisticated in your thinking than me haha

You: um I'm a pretty simple person lol

You: I guess another thought I had was pertaining the afterlife

Stranger: Lol nah your alright. I have more respect for you then a lot of other people I talk to. This one Atheist was so arragant and totally insane and he supposedly is a phisophy student at Princeton.

You: as in, idk if I believe in that either

Stranger: I think you are way smarter them him, just saying because at least you listen

You: I think some people on omegle just really like to argue

You: umm haha lol idk about smart lol

Stranger: Honestly people who think they are the best just because they have a degree like that always drive me insane tho

Stranger: Like ok I get it but that does not make your point automatically true

You: mhm

You: about arguments for god, um, there's sort of like deism, right?

You: sort of like belief that there's some kind of creator, or greater power, but not that they're doing anything

Stranger: Well yes these arguments will lead you to a God but not necessarily the God of Christianity. That is why to prove the Bible and not just God you would have look into evidence for the resserection and so on

You: ah okay

You: I also thought part of faith was believing in something even though there isn't necessarily evidence

You: like sort of testing a person's faith or something

You: or demonstrating faith

Stranger: That is a misdefinion of faith

You: mh?

Stranger: I define faith as putting you trust in something that you see evidence for

Stranger: Faith I see basically as equipment bro trust

Stranger: Equivalent to*

You: equipment bro trust?

You: oooh

Stranger: I make a lot of typos sorry

You: mhm it's okay it was a little funny haha

You: mhm I feel like I have this weird version of faith/trust, where I think it's important to give people it even though they might not have given anything to you

You: at least, that's what I think

Stranger: I don't really understand what you mean by that

You: oh as in, for me it's important to trust others first -- not necessarily wait until they've demonstrated something that proves their trustworthiness in order to trust them

Stranger: I can agree with that to a certain extent execpt I would not just pour out all my secrets on someone else

You: haha

You: I guess there's a limit to it for sure

You: I kind of want to believe the best in people

You: even though I think a lot of people might say that's naive

Stranger: I think it is kind of naive because I know from experience that people are generally not trustworthy unless you know them for a bit

You: mhm maybe I need to formulate my thoughts better

Stranger: That is good for all to do

You: mhm I guess I want to start with the best assumptions for people (cautiously) and only revise them if I have reason to suspect that the best assumptions aren't true

Stranger: I just start kinda neutral

You: sort of like if an ex-felon came looking for a job at a restaurant

You: I want to start with good assumptions when I meet them

Stranger: I would just not assume anything good or bad til I have reason to

You: mhm that seems sensible haha ^^

You: I feel like a lot of people apply risk assessment though

You: like it seems risky to hire someone with a criminal history, so maybe it's better to hire the other person who applied who doesn't have a history

Stranger: Yea but I would not really blame them too much for doing so that is natural

You: mhm I think it's natural to do risk assessment yes

You: maybe I'll never make much money lol

Stranger: Lol or maybe you will

You: did I ask you where you were from?

Stranger: Pennsylvania

Stranger: United States

Stranger: You?

You: new england

You: is your area conservative?

Stranger: I live in a more liberal area of pa but my state is a swing state so it is pretty mixed

You: mhm

You: if there was one thing you could change about the country what would it be?

You: oh and it's late for you, I just realized

Stranger: I stay up way late anyway

Stranger: What I would change?

Stranger: Hmm

Stranger: Make people care more about the Constitution

You: mhm which particular part?

Stranger: Not a particular part just that everyone Respects it as a whole and as the law of the land

You: do you feel like many people disrespect it or try to go around it?

Stranger: Yes I do. For example people trying to limit free speech or limit gun rights

You: mhm

Stranger: What would you change?

You: oh that's hard

You: I have a lot of things, but picking one?

You: I think if there was one big thing that could change, it would be making it so that somehow magically everyone understood that we're not anyone's enemy

You: or that there's nobody who is the "enemy"

You: whether it's on political sides or race or something else

You: and moreso that we all live together and it would be best to find something that we can all respectfully come together on

You: I guess because we also all have a lot in common

Stranger: I agree that we should all not see each other as enimies

Stranger: As jesus once said

Stranger: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Matthew 5:43‭-‬44 NRSV

You: mhm lol

You: is that the passage where the famous quote comes from?

Stranger: It comes from his sermon on the month in Matthew b5 mount

Stranger: Ignore that so many spelling errors

Stranger: Sermon on the mount on Matthew 5

Stranger: That is better

You: mhm

Stranger: Great passage

Stranger: I suggest you read it

Stranger: It is just one chapter in Matthew

You: okay I'll keep that in mind too

You: mathhew 3?

You: oh 5

Stranger: Matthew 5 yes

You: what does "poor in spirit" mean?

You: from the beatitudes?

Stranger: I interpret that as being humble and acknowledging your flaws

Stranger: Not being overly cocky

You: oh I never asked you what denomination you're affiliated with

Stranger: I am an Evangelical protestant

Stranger: That is a very broad term but i don't really identify with a more specific denomination

Stranger: But I do believe in more specific doctrine

You: mhm does your church not have a specific denomination?

You: or are you one of those who don't go to church?

Stranger: My church does but I don't agree with everything they say

You: ahh

You: how so?

Stranger: I am a Calvinist and they are arminian and I also disagree with certain beliefs about the rapture

You: ohh

You: how did you end up at your church?

Stranger: I grew up Catholic and thought that they were unbiblical so I went to one of the best ones o could find

Stranger: We agree on the core issues and the places we disagree I consider secondary

You: mhm okay

You: how do you define evangelicism btw?

Stranger: An Evangelical is someone who believes bthst salvation is through faith alone

Stranger: We believe that you are saved simply by truly putting byour faith in Jesus and repenting from your sins

Stranger: Not by your good works

You: ahh okay

You: alright, I think it is getting kind of late for me ^^

You: thanks for putting up with me

Stranger: Alright have a good night

You: you too

Stranger: Bye

Stranger has disconnected.

[anonymoustalks]

i'm like the laziest student there. and administratively, i'm not doing so hot at the church i'm interning at. so i've been asking myself what in the world it is that I really want to do

(6-20-20) You both like religion.

You: hi

Stranger: helloo

Stranger: how's it going

You: it's going fine

You: I'm not religious

Stranger: cool

Stranger: so what's your view on life. broad question i know

You: I thinkk there needs to be more love everywhere

Stranger: true

You: the world needs to be flooded with love

Stranger: were you religious before?

You: nope

Stranger: atheist? or something else?

You: I guess I'm kinda atheist

Stranger: why kind of?

You: I feel like atheist has the connotation of strongly rejecting the existence of god

You: whereas agnostic doesn't have that semblance of strong rejection

Stranger: yeah kinda

Stranger: so you feel in between?

You: well, I feel like I've leaned too much into science growing up

You: and there is no evidence suggesting or not suggesting the existence of god, therefore you can't reject it

Stranger: okay, fair enough

You: anyhow what's your view on life?

Stranger: i'm with you on the fact that there needs to be more love in the world. but i'd add that our definition of love needs more substance

Stranger: something needs to inform or understanding of love

Stranger: our*

You: mhm what do you mean by substance?

Stranger: weight, meaning, concreteness

You: ohh as in love is just too vague of a term?

Stranger: mm not exactly

Stranger: it is vague

Stranger: hm

Stranger: yeah i guess that is part of what i'm saying lol

You: lol

Stranger: we need to know what we mean by it

You: mhm I'd love to hear some examples of what you mean

Stranger: oh boy. i'm not prepared

Stranger: love is such a profound word

You: oh was it too heavy? ^^

Stranger: any questions about what life should be like is heavy haha

Stranger: at least for me

Stranger: they all got a lot of existential weight

You: mhm, well I guess I can start with what I mean, if that helps?

Stranger: hmm here's a start. at what point is an act not an act of love, or at what point is an act an act of love?

Stranger: or actually

Stranger: we could go back further. why love in the first place?

You: mhm I think love is a subjective feeling that a person feels for another

You: and many people define love for themselves in different ways

You: as for why love in the first place -- I think love is a natural human emotion

Stranger: but there's an objective side to love as well. it needs an element of selflessness in order to be love

You: mhm is there?

Stranger: greed and hate are also natural human emotions, but they're not something we should practice.

You: very true

Stranger: but love is different because it promotes corporate happiness

You: as for the selflessness, I think that a love a parent has for their child is commonly regarded as selfless, although a child's love for (idk their grandparent) isn't always perceived as selfless I think

Stranger: yeah, it's a different kind of love

You: are there any bad kinds of love?

Stranger: love for money?

You: lol

Stranger: i would call that lust

Stranger: a lust for money. lust is like a perversion of love

You: mhm

You: so I'm kind of a hippie

You: I think all (or most) expressions of love are pretty much good

You: although I think hippies have this perception of being sex-positive as well

Stranger: word

You: but I think offering love to people, no matter the kind, doesn't necessarily seem bad to me

Stranger: i have a Christian background

Stranger: but i try to be sympathetic (understanding) to other views. just to grow more as a human

You: mhm I think I'm really sympathetic to many christian values

You: but it's weird because I don't think I can really call myself christian

Stranger: offering love to others is great. i just have to make sure my understanding of love is informed by God

Stranger: christianity can get tricky with all the denominations and what not

Stranger: but once you learn to navigate the conversations, it gets better from there

You: mhm

Stranger: hmm

You: are you on this tag a lot?

Stranger: i actually just started using this tag yesterday. also just started chatting with strangers yesterday

You: ohh cool

You: did you have any good conversations?

Stranger: some interesting ones. all pleasant

You: it's nice that they're pleasant

Stranger: yeah

You: I like omegle because I get to learn about other ppl

Stranger: true. one of the reasons why i'm chatting here

You: yup

You: I think my best to like every person that I come across

Stranger: academics will make you arrogant if you're not careful, so i'm kind of using this platform to get better at understanding people

You: ahh are you like an academic?

Stranger: definitely not a scholar

Stranger: but i'm pursuing my masters in religion

You: ohh wow

Stranger: and majored in philosophy (doesn't really mean anything tbh)

You: that sounds really fancy haha

Stranger: it's just a lot of thinking and reading and being bored out of your mind

You: so when you study religion academically, do ppl normally focus on one religion?

You: or is it more comparative?

Stranger: hmm

Stranger: it's comparative to an extent

Stranger: so mainly i'm just studying reformed christianity

Stranger: but we'll interact with the quran. maybe read some articles written about/against the validity of the christian faith

You: right and is getting a masters in religion different from studying theology or going to a theological school?

Stranger: oohhh my bad

Stranger: i kept it general

Stranger: my masters is in divinity. i'm at a theological seminary

You: ahh okay

You: and are you thinking of becoming a pastor?

Stranger: i'll be honest, i've been asking myself that and have been struggling real hard cause of it lol

You: awww

You: what do most people do?

Stranger: most people will get ther masters in divinity to become pastors

You: mhm

You: do you need much of a degree to become a pastor?

Stranger: depends on what kind of church you'd pastor for

Stranger: lots of churches these days would want to know your credibility

You: mhm

Stranger: and make sure you don't come in with some hocus pocus shit

You: right

You: if this isn't too hard on you, if it okay if I ask why you have doubt about your career?

Stranger: a degree definitely helps

Stranger: oh yeah i'm open to questions

Stranger: my initial struggle was that i was torn between seminary and pursuing more of the arts

You: arts?

Stranger: yeah like dance, music, drawing

You: mhmm

Stranger: my passion has always been for the arts. but on the other hand, i have this strong conviction to learn more of the Bible and share it with other people particularly young inquisitive people

Stranger: learned that these two things aren't necessarily mutually exclusive

You: right

Stranger: so i went ahead and went to seminary

You: but you're still conflicted right now?

Stranger: but. i'm like the laziest student there. and administratively, i'm not doing so hot at the church i'm interning at. so i've been asking myself what in the world it is that I really want to do

You: ahh

You: that sounds difficult

Stranger: especially cause being a pastor isn't something i can put upon myself

You: hm what do you mean?

Stranger: i'm gonna use the language of Christian's for a second. you have to be "called" to ministry in order to do ministry

You: ahh

Stranger: i can't just casually pick it up as if it were a trade

You: you don't feel it?

Stranger: man idk. part of me feels like it's because i'm lazy and clouding my judgement.

You: right

Stranger: the other part of me just wants a good breather. just kinda want to live for myself for a second

You: it sounds really difficult

Stranger: not worry about anyone but me, just for a moment

You: is it overwhelming?

Stranger: but what excuse do i have when i've been fucking it up with my laziness?

Stranger: emotionally overwhelming

Stranger: since i internalize all my thoughts and try to process everything

Stranger: i've been holding out okay, but quarantine got me in my feels lol

You: mhm right yeah

You: it's a lot to go through

Stranger: anyway, that's a summary of my story

You: I want to say I support you but I don't know anything haha

Stranger: lol it's all good

You: maybe you need a morale boost?

Stranger: honestly, words of encouragement can go a long way

Stranger: maybe

You: like mean, it's easy to think we're not cut out for something

You: but having a little bit of support get push us there

You: and it's only at the end that we know that we're at someplace we're meant to be

Stranger: yeah amen to that

You: I mean, I assume that's what people mean when they refer to "my family's support" after a long road of things

You: but I think everyone experiences serious... even dramatic doubt at times

You: and sometimes you just need someone to tell you that you can do it

You: that you'll get there

Stranger: mhmm

You: sorry I don't want to spew too much haha ^^

Stranger: nah you're all good. i do it every sunday hahaaaa

Stranger: poor kids

You: haha

You: I think it's a really incredible profession (is that the right term) to be in

You: like it matters so much

Stranger: yeah it's a profession

Stranger: vocation w/e you wanna call it

You: so much responsibility

You: I guess to hold the people that you're guiding, right?

Stranger: yeah, there's a lot to it

Stranger: can be intimidating at times

You: mhm

Stranger: trying to make sure you're humble

Stranger: trying to love the little punks

You: yeah haha

Stranger: hoping to God your mind is in the right place for the sake of your group

You: right

Stranger: and the politics you gotta play with the older people in church. most exhausting part

You: mhmm the politics?

Stranger: some churches are a little two faced

You: meaning?

Stranger: kind of have to be socially adept to be aware of what might be going on between the elders of the church

Stranger: what the church might feel about the head pastor

Stranger: and what they might feel about you

You: right

You: it sounds really complicated

Stranger: and to be able to act accordingly. it's all real petty stuff. not all churches are like this

You: I think I saw a NYTimes article about being conflicted in a church ever since trump was elected

You: like about how some church goers switched to going to more conservative churchs

You: or things like that

You: idk if it's a common thing

Stranger: hm

Stranger: it's more common than it should be

Stranger: members leaving a church to go to another

Stranger: sometimes its justified, sometimes its a lack of commitment and care for the church

Stranger: but yeah, i think this is why i want to define love the way God would have us define it. If I can emulate that, I'm sure it'd help the church

You: mhm, I think I didn't totally understand your explanation haha ^^

Stranger: that's okay

Stranger: i'm just saying love is important and i need to be loving for the sake of the church

You: mhm

Stranger: anyway

Stranger: oh yeah

Stranger: i was curious earlier, what makes you reluctant to call yourself a christian?

You: oh I don't believe in god, really

You: it feels ungenuine for me to say a prayer when I don't believe in him per say

Stranger: makes sense

You: that said, I really support churches

You: I think it's a little bit sad when it feels like American is drifting less and less religious I guess?

You: or to be more specific, I guess it's just a revulsion towards religion

You: that I don't think is totally fair

Stranger: yeah, i feel that

You: because I think churches do great things for their communities

You: history aside

Stranger: haha yeah the history

Stranger: and the things we did in the name of god

You: yeah I hear that a lot -- "christianity is bad because the crusades"

Stranger: i'm sure you know, but it's such an unfair assessment of christianity

Stranger: since it was just evil men using that title to their advantage

You: yup ^^ or well I think all people are flawed

Stranger: yeah, the depravity of mankind

You: I think it means a lot to seek improvement for yourself

Stranger: yeah. not an easy task to do

Stranger: since you have to constantly point out where you are falling short

You: yup

You: sometimes I wonder if I should go looking for something like an interfaith church or something haha

Stranger: that would be interesting

You: idk what they're like at all though

Stranger: hmm

Stranger: this is probably my own biases speaking, but i'd imagine a lot of them would have trouble explaining their worldviews

You: mhm yeah I know nothing about them, so I can't comment

Stranger: i'm guessing they'd be very welcoming though

Stranger: given the "inter" aspect of the group

You: mhm inclusivity is one of my values

Stranger: it's so hard going into churches though

You: going into?

Stranger: like visiting them and trying be part of the community

You: ahh yeah

You: it sounds like a lot of effort

Stranger: for me personally, christian churches would not be my first thought for places to go to for healthy communities

Stranger: healthy, real, non-awkward communities

You: hm? how so?

Stranger: it's probably just because of my observation of churches around me though

Stranger: it's just that churches around me aren't really the greatest at welcoming outsiders

Stranger: they either overcompensate, or just can't interact

You: ahh

You: yeah I can't comment haha; I've never been in that kind of situation

Stranger: hm. as a pastor, i'm supposed to be encouraging you to find yourself a church, but here i am discouraging it lol

You: loool

You: ^^ it's okay, you mean well

Stranger: i mean. if you find a good church, you've found yourself a group of good people. if do decide to find a church, i wish you the best

You: mhm

You: do you find if I ask what denomination you're affiliated with?

Stranger: ask away

You: oh that was the question haha

Stranger: oh

Stranger: presbyterian

Stranger: i don't know if I want to be with the OPC or the PCA

Stranger: both presbyterians though

You: ahh are they very different?

Stranger: very slightly

Stranger: like it almost doesn't matter

You: would you say your church fits in the evangelical category or not really?

Stranger: hmm

Stranger: to be honest, i'm not all too sure what the evangelical category is

You: I was going to ask that haha

Stranger: i just know "evangelical" has been used as a broad term for christians

You: yeah there's an "evangelicalism" wikipedia article

You: it says that 1 in 4 christians in the world can be considered evangelica

You: was just curious if you had a more specific definition to it

Stranger: hm

Stranger: it's been used in more than one way i'm not sure how to define it

You: mhm okay

Stranger: probably not gonna say anything more than that so i don't spread misinformation

Stranger: i will say that they do seem very "spreading the message" oriented

You: ah okay ^^

You: I feel like I am clicking around a ton of random links now

You: what do you think of Liberal Christinaity?

You: or liberal theology

Stranger: oh liberal christianity

Stranger: oooh hot topic at my school. at least for the freshmen

You: ahh how so?

Stranger: some would say it's not christianity at all

Stranger: since it compromises some very important things about christianity

You: yup

You: what would you say is the majority view at your school?

Stranger: about liberal christianity?

Stranger: or in general

You: yup

Stranger: we're against it

You: mhm is that common at a seminal school?

Stranger: hmm

Stranger: some are more aware

Stranger: while others kind of just offer the view there

You: what do you mean by more aware?

Stranger: they might be aware of the discussions revolving around liberal theology

Stranger: but haven't been required to do the ground work to really see why or why not liberal theology is not christian theology

You: mhm

Stranger: while other seminaries (i can only think of one) are more open about liberal theology

Stranger: my school straight up rejects it

You: haha

Stranger: couple others in the area do too

You: is it a regional thing?

Stranger: hmm not really

Stranger: it just happens to be that professors in other schools studied at my school

Stranger: my school was founded as a response to liberal theology

You: ohhhh

You: wow

Stranger: the founder couldn't stay at his old seminary while at the same time teaching what he in his heart knew was wrong

Stranger: so he left

Stranger: and started a school with his own money

You: right

Stranger: took a few brilliant thinkers along with him

Stranger: boom

Stranger: the birth of a humble little seminary with a lot to say

You: yeah

You: I mean I know very little

You: all I know is that some churches are pro-lgbt and others aren't

Stranger: ah

Stranger: a complicated discussion for sure

You: are the pro-lgbt ones liberal christianity?

Stranger: it's usually that way

You: mhmm

Stranger: although, i don't know by how much

You: yeah I was curious about how much of it was geographic

You: like I'm from new england

You: and a lot of the churches in the big cities are pro-lgbt

You: like you can see it posted outside even if you don't go in

Stranger: ohh

Stranger: i guess geography has some correlation to it, but not a necessary correlation

Stranger: guess it has to do with culture

Stranger: and how certain regions are responding to cultural changes

You: mhm

Stranger: anyway, i should head out and get ready for tomorrow. it was awesome chatting with you

You: okay, have a great night!

Stranger: if you happen to look for a christian church

Stranger: try a presbyterian one. i mean, that's my "bias"

Stranger: but

You: haha okay ^^

Stranger: oh but if they're wack

Stranger: don't feel bad about moving on to the next

You: mhm alrightie

You: thanks for everything!

Stranger: thank you for listening!

Stranger: jesus loves you!

You: haha

Stranger: haha. peace

You: byebye!

You have disconnected.

[anonymoustalks]

The thing is society dosen't really care for men and even many me don't seem to care for men, it's like both men and women never care about men's problems

(6-20-20) You both like Feminism.

You: hiyo

Stranger: Hi

You: what's on your mind?

Stranger: Many things.

You: mhm, anything that you want to talk about?

Stranger: Yours?

You: religion

You: my last conversation was about religion

Stranger: The feminist cult religion?

You: nope, I was on the religion tag

Stranger: Okay.

Stranger: I'm so not religious lol

You: is there a word for anti-feminist?

You: I'm not religious either

Stranger: There is, it is anti-feminist.

Stranger: That's it lol

You: it's a dull word

Stranger: Or anti-feminism.

You: so you are anti-feminism?

Stranger: I don't know but i don't support feminism and i hate most feminiets, the majority of feminists are scum and extremists.

You: mhm I support feminism

Stranger: Well good for you at least you know what you want.

You: mhm and you don't know what you want?

Stranger: I do but i cannot get it.

You: oh what exactly do you want?

Stranger: I want a boyfriend. I am gay.

You: ahh gl with that

Stranger: Gl?

You: good luck

You: where are you from?

Stranger: So do you fund feminists groups?

Stranger: America

You: mhm I donated once to the HRC

You: which supports both lgbt and feminism

Stranger: What's hrc?

You: human rights campaign

Stranger: Ohh

You: I donated 20 dollars to them and then they didn't stop calling me

Stranger: You donated to help what?

Stranger: Why didnt they stop calling you?

You: well if you donate once you're listed as a potential donor

You: so then they keep calling you hoping you'll donate again

Stranger: Yikes!

Stranger: So what did you do?

You: I think it's kind of common

You: I just said I wasn't going to donate

Stranger: What do they use your money for?

You: it's like your typical phone canvasing

You: colleges and univesities do that too

Stranger: I see.

You: they're an advocacy and lobbying group

You: so I think you'd probably dislike them

Stranger: What do they advocate for?

Stranger: It's okay, we're just having a convo.

You: oh that lobby for the passage of pro-lgbt bills in congress

You: *they lobby

Stranger: Are you from america?

You: yes

You: like big industries like guns and pharma all have lobbies in congress -- which means they spend millions to convince politicians to vote a certain way

You: for like other things, the money that goes to lobbying comes from ordinary ppl

Stranger: What's your opinion on metoo and the believeallwomen hashtag?

You: mhmm

Stranger: I mean woudn't you say metoo is toxic?

You: yeah I would say there are circumstances that it is kinda toxic

You: but I think it's important to speak out if you get sexually harrassed

You: there's a long history in the us of women staying silent

Stranger: I do and i would to but that does not justify accusing someone of rape when they did not do it.

Stranger: 2 wrongs don't make a right.

You: mhm, what percentage of people #metoo-ing do you think are lying?

Stranger: I'm saying we shoudn't believe all women cause the stats say 2% to 10% of women lie about rape.

Stranger: I can't even imagine how many more men might have been falsely imori

Stranger: Imprisoned for something they never did.

You: sure, although I think it's good that these 90-98% of women who aren't lying are speaking up now

You: a majority of rape cases are dismissed

You: overwhelming majority

Stranger: I'm not saying they shoudn't cause they should but we need solid evidence before accusing someone of being a rapist

You: sure

You: although I think everyone should have the right to speak their story

Stranger: If anyone tries to rape me of course i would speak up in a heartbeat.

You: I think some companies may overreact in some circumstances to firing someone who get's #metoo'd

You: but I think people should be able to speak up and say it happened

Stranger: Because of false accusations men have killed themeselves and entered years in prison.

You: I mean the imprisonment thing I think that's just not true

You: so few accusations ever lead to prison time

You: I think you could say many men have lost their jobs

Stranger: Are you sure?

You: yup, I'm sure

Stranger: There is news on it.

Stranger: Men have told their stories.

Stranger: Search on youtube

You: yeah, but if they're convicted by a trial and jury, that legitimately means there was like evidence

You: like a dna test or sperm or things like that

You: us courts do not convict without evidence

Stranger: I dont know about that i mean people always see to believe women even without evidence

You: mhm, but the legal system hasn't changed in the US at all

You: I think more ppl are concerned about their employers believe claims and getting fired from their jobs

Stranger: I heard stories where men spent many years for a rape they did not do

You: yes, but you can't get convicted unless there is some evidence that convinces the jury

You: sometimes there can be bad evidence though

You: but it's the same thing of ppl going to prison for murder they didn't commit

You: a rape charge is very serious in the US, and you can't get convicted without serious evidence

Stranger: The jury can just call anything evidence whether it is real or not.

You: mhm idk, it can be sometimes hard to argue dna tests and stuff like that

Stranger: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DO5yrFOX5vh0&ved=2ahUKEwjuhr7l15HqAhWs63MBHVavCq8Qo7QBMAN6BAgCEAE&usg=AOvVaw2Nj1O1PtJHVUDh-T9RW6Bq

Stranger: Maybe you should watch this video, of you want to that is.

You: but again, a lot of ppl support abolishing the death penalty, because there are times when the justice system convicts the wrong ppl

You: but this isn't a problem seen just in rape cases in general

You: it happens with murder convictions and other crimes

You: rape doesn't get special treatment in us courts

Stranger: But why are there so many men in prison for a rape they did not commit then?

You: mhm..... idk, you will have to look up statistics for that

Stranger: Okau

Stranger: Okay

Stranger: Are you like a liberal btw?

You: yup

Stranger: A hillary supporter?

You: lol hillary isn't running

Stranger: I know but you voted for her?

You: versus trump lol?

You: of course

Stranger: Is it true that all feminists believe men have it much easier than women?

Stranger: I just don't see how anyone could think that.

You: well I don't really think that's the case

You: I think each gender has its problems

Stranger: I sometimes feel ny life would be easier if i was a woman.

You: mhm how so?

Stranger: Well i feel like i woudn't be told to man up

You: right

Stranger: People would be more concerned about my mental help

Stranger: I think people woudn't be so hard on me

You: mhm I think it's bad that you had to go through all those things

Stranger: I always felt like the female gender is the privileged gender.

You: idk I think for me it's hard to say one gender is more "privileged" than the other

You: but for me, I think about women who can't get a promotion because her boss thinks she will get pregnant

Stranger: You're entitled to your opinion, i am not trying to change your mind. Just sharing my views.

You: mhm totally

You: you are too

You: so I think there are challenges in different areas

You: and I think society should work together to improve issues experienced by both genders

Stranger: The thing is society dosen't really care for men and even many me don't seem to care for men, it's like both men and women never care about men's problems

Stranger: The suicide rate of men is so high and that upsets me everyday.

You: I think society should care for men, and we should change culture so that society does

Stranger: People still believe me cannot get raped.

You: a lot of ppl tell me that feminists want to "emasculate" men when we say that we should encourage it so that it's more acceptable for men to talk about their feelings

You: and express feelings and talk about their emotions

Stranger: If a woman rapes a man then people think it's not possible and that pisses me off.

You: yeah rape can happen to anybody

You: you were raped? :c

Stranger: No but i am worried about the men who did get raped.

You: mhm

Stranger: I just want to prevent men from getting raped.

You: rape is bad, and I think it's important to look at what we can do to improve it

Stranger: Men are usually less likely to speak up if they are being raped or sexually assaulted.

You: right

You: I think men should speak up

You: or I think we should make the culture acceptable for that

Stranger: I want them to but society also needs to advocate for them.

You: mhm, yup

You: sexual violence hurts everybody involved

Stranger: I know.

You: but yeah, if it's important to you, have you thought about getting involved?

Stranger: I dont know how to

Stranger: Maybe i should join the mens rights

You: well there are rape crisis hotlines for women, maybe you can find one for men?

You: or start one for men?

Stranger: How much would that even cost?

You: most of them are run by volunteers

You: it's basically a phone number

You: and you organize a group of ppl to pick up the phone

Stranger: What is the phone number?

You: I think it depends on the area you're from

Stranger: Oh okay maybe i will try to find out

You: the trevorproject is the lgbt suicide hotline

You: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/

You: you can get trained to volunteer for them and answer the phone

Stranger: So anyways are you married?

You: nope

Stranger: Oh okay

Stranger: How old are you?

You: 26 you?

Stranger: I probably will never get married..

Stranger: 23

You: mhm why not?

Stranger: Well i am gay so i dont think i can get married lol

You: are in the US?

You: it's legal in a bunch of states now

You: supreme court also ruled on anti-discrimination too

Stranger: Not that marriage in essential anyways especially if we consider.how many people get divorced after marriage.

You: mhm if you don't want to get married I can understand that oo

Stranger: I mean marriage was always between a man and a woman so i don't know if.it is really marriage.

You: are you from a conservative state?

Stranger: I mean are there any religions who have same sex marriage?

You: idk, I'm not religious, so for me marriage is a secular union

Stranger: I am not either but marriage was created by religious people.

Stranger: Even though i am not religious i believe in a spiritual world, don't laugh lol

You: no it's fine, I understand

Stranger: Do you believe in the supernatural?

You: I think in a lot of the non-religious countries, or atheist countries, marriage still happens. Maybe the meaning has changed

You: not really

Stranger: Oh okay. So you believe in science only? I believe in both science and the supernatural

You: mhm I guess you could say I lean more towards science

You: maybe I believe in a soul, idk

Stranger: Ok

Stranger: Oh ya do you want to talk about abortion?

You: sure haha ^^

You: do you have strong feelings?

Stranger: Like what strong feelings?

You: some people have very strong opinions about abortion

Stranger: Ya i kinda do

Stranger: Why?

You: pro-life?

You: no just curious, mine are less strong

Stranger: Well i don't join groups so no but i don't like killing a fetus either

You: mhm

You: is there a particular point in pregnancy that you think abortion should be illegal?

Stranger: A fetus is still the child of that mother and father.

Stranger: I think abortion always be illegal unless maybe there are a few exceptions like if the mother will ide

Stranger: *die*

You: have you ever heard of plan b?

You: the birth control pill?

Stranger: No i have not

You: it's the day after pill

You: technically you can think of that as a kind of abortion too

You: since you're aborting the day after

You: sex

Stranger: I dont know about those birth control thingies

Stranger: I dont have a lot of knowledge on many things

You: oh

Stranger: Lol

You: it takes a long time for the fetus to form

You: many states have laws on what point it should be illegal to abort

You: because early on it's like microscopic

Stranger: I really need someone to teach me things i want to learn

Stranger: I think if the sperm meets the ovum and becomes one then isn't that already a life?

You: it depends on how you see it essentially

Stranger: Do you support abortion?

You: yup, up to a limit

Stranger: If i was a woman i would never abort my baby.

You: mhm I don't think I would abort either

You: but I think it's important to have a right to choose to extent

You: having a baby is a life-changing event

Stranger: I believe abortion is murder, even in the early stages i would never abort my baby.

You: mhm

You: I was talking about weeks because at certain weeks the fetus is at a different size

You: like by week 6 it's like the size of a grain of rice

Stranger: I know it is a life changing event but murder is never the answer

Stranger: So you are counting the value of your child by it's size? :(

Stranger: I a

You: mhm well, I think there's a certain point when the fetus develops a heart or a brain

You: and takes its first heartbeat

You: I think for me, before it has developed to that point

You: I mean, in a way, every sperm cell has the potential to become a baby

You: and same with every egg in menstruation

You: so for me internally, I guess we all have a point when we consider life to have started

Stranger: But i dont think sperm is the same thing as a embryo or fetus

You: mhm but the day after fertilization, it's basically just an egg with extra dna

You: from the sperm

Stranger: Are we all a sperm and a ovum according to science?

Stranger: I am curious.

You: mhm in a sense, yeah

You: there's no brain

You: so it's not thinking

Stranger: So you and i are sperms and ovums?

You: well I mean, we've grown a lot

You: I think it's unethical to kill a fetus with a beating heart and brain

Stranger: That's weird cause i never felt like a sperm and ovum

You: because I think at a certain point life has started

You: and I believe the baby has started to feel things

You: lol you wouldn't remember being a zygote (the sperm+ovum)

Stranger: What stage at birth do you think the soul enters the body.

You: mhm somewhere in between heartbeating and having a brain I think

Stranger: I know but it is hard to imagine i was ever a sperm and ovum.

You: yeah but we all started that way

Stranger: What if it was even before that? Then it would be murder :(

Stranger: But it is so weird to think of it

You: I mean, like when ppl have sex there's millions of sperm

You: if it was a different one that fertilized the egg

You: in a sense you could be someone else

You: or when a guy masturbates, those are all potential babies

Stranger: Ya but without the ovum there is no baby

Stranger: And without the sperm there is also no baby

Stranger: So we are 2 parts merged into one? That is creepy

You: lol is it?

You: I guess it's just nature

Stranger: So i am 2 beings in 1?

You: mhm you are you

You: you know another weird thing?

You: so our skin is constantly dying

Stranger: What?

You: like we shed

You: dead skin

Stranger: Ya i know that

You: how long do you think it takes before all of our skin is replaced?

Stranger: Maybe a few years?

You: yeah idk

You: sometimes I think its weird that our body now is totally different from our body a couple years ago

You: like not even the same cells

Stranger: But then why do i still have my scars?

Stranger: Why didn't my scars go away?

You: scars are like dead tissue

You: so when your skin grows, it grows around them

Stranger: Oh. Well that upsetting that they wont go away anytime soon

Stranger: I just thought since scars that arent so deep should go away since they are on the surface of my skin

You: mhm yeah idk

You: how did you get them?

Stranger: I got scratched my sharp things i guesd?

You: oh

Stranger: But some of them are not really that deep at all

Stranger: Yet the marks are still on my fingers

You: mhm

Stranger: What is mhm?

You: oh, it's just a sound of agreeing

Stranger: Are you planing to get married?

You: maybe

You: I think I will probably get going

You: it was nice talking to you

Stranger: Ok

You: bye, I wish for the best

Stranger: Where will you be going?

You: hm? maybe clean a little

Stranger: Ok bye

You: bye

You have disconnected.

Stranger: Yes it is ok

Stranger: Thanks

Stranger: You sound as girl right?

You: yeah

You: is it that obvious?

Stranger: You worry about name because you are young?

You: no not really, I just don't like to get too personal online

Stranger: Little yes but don't worry i do not come to talk bad

Stranger: I just try discuss with people and find friends why not

You: I have one online friend from morocco

You: I never asked her what her life is like

Stranger: Yes it is ok sure you are free

You: is morocco very similar to algeria?

Stranger: We have the same border

Stranger: Anr they anr we you can say same nation

You: oh that similar?

Stranger: Morrocan and Algerian wae before one Land

You: ahh I didn't know

Stranger: Yes in past there was alk consider as north Africa

Stranger: But when occupation of french come it makes border

Stranger: And separate it to countries

You: ahh I see

Stranger: But wr are same nation

You: do you speak french in algeria?

Stranger: W speak Algerian Wich is arabic and mixed with french little

Stranger: In north they use french often

You: ahh

You: sorry I didn't know

Stranger: But for me i don't use it

Stranger: It's ok

Stranger: You are christian right?

You: mhm actually I'm not religious haha ^^

Stranger: It is ok

Stranger: You believe in God or not

You: but I was curious about what kind of people are on this tag

You: mhm I'm not sure

Stranger: I understand

Stranger: So you are type of people who ignore to think about god

You: hm?

Stranger: Not aethiest

Stranger: Just don't think about it right?

You: ohh, yes, that's right

You: I don't really think of myself as athiest

Stranger: It's good

Stranger: Just we need to think about it

Stranger: Because if there is hell and paradise after life we have to work to be in paradise

You: mhm

Stranger: To not lose much

Stranger: After all believe and been good will not tied us to live well

Stranger: We can be good believers and success here and after death right?

You: is your country very religious?

Stranger: Normal not that so hard

Stranger: Normal and religion is good to protect us from hurt ourselves

Stranger: There is no one stop you of doing what you want just people choose to be religious

You: right

Stranger: After all religion and god draw for us the good payh to not get hurt

Stranger: When forbid something just to protect us

Stranger: And don't have to try it and hurt and learn by the hard way

Stranger: And still people are weak and can make mistake and all what needs is redemption

You: mhm

Stranger: And god forgive sins

Stranger: Btw in Islam we believe in Jesus as messenger not god or aon of God

You: yup

Stranger: Cause it is not logical how and why god sent his son to die for sins when he can forgive without killing

Stranger: Also in all bible Jesus never ever ask people to worship him or say i am God

You: mhm

Stranger: In opposite he said. There is no god only the father

Stranger: They true one god is the father

Stranger: When say father not mean his begotten son

You: mhm

Stranger: Because in bible saif about many people as sons

Stranger: For example he said son of God about Adam

You: right

Stranger: And bible said. Anyone led by sperit of god is son of God

Stranger: So word son and father mean just who follow him

You: that makes sense

Stranger: Yes just translation trouble

Stranger: Because bible come by Hebrew

Stranger: Form of hebrow called aramiac

Stranger: And hebrow and arabic are ao close

You: right

Stranger: Can I give you exemple about word father and gos and how can us it?

Stranger: Sorry I talk much hhh

You: sure it's fine

You: I like listening

Stranger: For example in arabic if want say biss of work

Stranger: Or responsible of family wich is the father

Stranger: If translate it word by word we say god of work

Stranger: And god of family

Stranger: Wich mean responsible

You: biss of work?

Stranger: This form ot use of the word god

Stranger: Boss ot work

You: ah okay

Stranger: We say god of work by arabic

You: yeah I did not know that

Stranger: رب العمل

You: god is not a special word?

Stranger: It become special when ay about the god in sky sya allah

Stranger: Because Allah is word used even in jew believe

Stranger: And have no gender and no plural

You: mhm

Stranger: In hebrow bible it written alohim

You: did you study all of these different bibles?

Stranger: I just was interested by religion and search and follow much about it

You: mhm you did not learn it in a school?

Stranger: No I didn't

Stranger: Just self study

You: mhm I think that's really cool to study for yourself

Stranger: By the way you see the idea of die for sine

Stranger: When even bible show with many verses how the work of human matter

Stranger: More and only work wich make human go to heaven

Stranger: Sadly church put many wrong ideas don't exist in bible

You: mhm

Stranger: They worship Jesus even he never said worship me

Stranger: And there is even verses he us like talk to them today

Stranger: He talk in the meaning when he comeback

Stranger: And say him lord lord we do anything by your name

Stranger: And make miracles by your name

Stranger: In last he tell them go away from me i didn't knew you

Stranger: And it's so clear why he said that because they start worship him when he comes to learn them worship the only one God

You: mhm

Stranger: But they kept looking for easy salvation die for them sins and they do all sins and live free and expect he make it to paradise to all people

Stranger: Just by believe in his death

Stranger: When he said in bible verly verly i can do nothing by myself

Stranger: Do you know that even his survive from death proven in Bible?

You: hm?

Stranger: He didn't killed god saved him

Stranger: Have you ever read bible?

Stranger: The story of jonas

You: I have only read small parts of it

Stranger: In part of jonas

Stranger: It talk about how god saved jonas from whales belly

You: ah

Stranger: In the time when israel people come to kill Jesus

Stranger: They ask him for sign or miracle

Stranger: If you want I can look for it and show you

Stranger: Whatever people asking him for miracle he said as Jonas was 3days and 3 night shall the son of Man stay 3 days and 3 night in the heart of Earth

Stranger: So where is the miracle wich Jesus promise to do?

You: mhm

Stranger: He said as jonas anr jonas his miracle was staying alive

Stranger: And jesus promise to show them qs jona

Stranger: As jonas miracle

Stranger: So he survived and prove from Bible

Stranger: You can make sure about what I said for sure

Stranger: I talked alot sorry ☺️

You: it's fine, I went to read about the book of jonah

You: I do not know many of these things

Stranger: Book of jona talk about his story only

Stranger: And the prove of Jesus when he was going to die in other part

Stranger: If you want i will give you the verses

Stranger: Just i don't remember the number but if you wait i can find it

Stranger: Minutes i will find it to you and you will related it with jonas story

Stranger: The story in mathiew 12/39 and 12/40

Stranger: matthew 12 39 and 40 " 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

You: mhm

Stranger: Read the 2verse you will understand that Jesus promise them to show them miracle as Jonas

You: right

Stranger: And jonas miracle was?

Stranger: Survive from death

Stranger: So it is so clear that god saved his prophet

You: mhm

Stranger: God would not let his messenger get offended and be nacked on Cross

Stranger: And killed like that

Stranger: And god don't need blood or sacrifice for forgiveness

Stranger: And everyone responsible for his work

You: mhm

Stranger: Logical you can not punish someone because his father guilty

Stranger: You can not for example catch some person anr put in jail because his brother kikk someone

You: right

Stranger: Punishment and award be for each person work

Stranger: Is not logical and not justice

Stranger: How killer be in paradise because he did crime but believe in Jesus anr forgive his sins

Stranger: Justice is when everyone responsible for his work

Stranger: Even bible said that

Stranger: But they show in church parts and hide others

You: mhm I am not very familiar with what church is like

Stranger: For example how it looks if for example his mother killed by gun did he will remember hee by taking gub in his neck?

You: sorry I'm not sure if I'm understanding

Stranger: It's strange how they talk about Jesus and celebrate his death by cross when they believe he die in it

You: ahh

Stranger: It not make sense right?

You: mhm I dunno, I do not know enough about these things

Stranger: It is ok

Stranger: It's really glad to talk to you

You: yes, it was nice talking to you too

You: it must be late for you

Stranger: You are so open mind and respectful

You: thanks for sharing everything

Stranger: I was hoping that we can talk more about this

Stranger: Or have contact whatever where you want

You: oh sorry, I don't like to share contact information

Stranger: It is ok i understand

Stranger: Just keep looking for true

You: mhm it was really nice talking to you

Stranger: You are good girl

Stranger: And really feel sad that we can not keep on touch

You: mhm I'm sure our lives will go our own ways

Stranger: Because I still have much to talk about

Stranger: Yes it will be

You: in either case good night

Stranger: Just keep looking for god

Stranger: You are good person

Stranger: And open heart

You: mhm I'm not totally sure about good person haha

You: but I think we all try to improve

Stranger: God said anyone looking for truth with open heart god will guide him

Stranger: We all sinners

Stranger: And culture and where we born effect alot

Stranger: I consider myself lucky i born in religious family

Stranger: Even so we still survive and try be good in that hatd world

Stranger: Word become Savage and wild

Stranger: And good manners become rare

Stranger: Finding god is first step

You: mhm

Stranger: And do you know what?

Stranger: When someone revet or become Muslim god clean all his sins

You: mhm I'm not totally sure if I am ready for that haha ^^

Stranger: And become as new paper

Stranger: Yes i know you are not ready

Stranger: Read and take your time

You: mhm thank you

You: have a good night

Stranger: Thanks for chat

[anonymoustalks]

i’m actually lgbtq myself so i’m glad that the non-discrimination one in the workforce got passed, i’m mostly worried about the healthcare, especially for trans people

(6-20-20) You both like feminism.

You: heya

Stranger: heyo

You: what's on your mind?

Stranger: idk frogs i guess

You: frogs? why frogs?

Stranger: you?

Stranger: they’re pretty cool

You: mhm was just thinking about my last conversation

Stranger: what was it

You: we were talking a little about religious freedom

Stranger: oh cool

You: why are frogs cool?

Stranger: they look really goofy and cute, idk i just think they’re neat

You: aww that's sweet

You: I like tree frogs

Stranger: desert sand frogs are my favorite because they’re so round

You: one time one just sort of got on my friend

Stranger: that’s pretty cool

You: like it went on her arm

You: idk if you're supposed to touch them though

You: like I heard that their skin is really sensitive

You: so like oils and stuff can be bad for them

Stranger: idk either i know you can’t touch poison dart frogs but idk about tree frogs

Stranger: that makes sense though

You: yeah I don't actually know though

Stranger: me neither lol

You: lol I googled desert sand drog

You: *frog

Stranger: they’re incredible

You: they're so squeaky

Stranger: they really are, it’s great

You: it's looks like angry, but cute

Stranger: for sure

You: like I kind of imagine it screeching "I hate youuu!!" but it just comes out as squeaks lol

Stranger: haha yeah, they’re pretty adorable even if they look angry

You: yeah

You: where are you from?

Stranger: chicago, what about you?

You: new england

Stranger: cool cool

You: mhm what brings you to this tag?

Stranger: i think feminism is pretty cool, just a general interest i guess

You: mhm

You: do you have a strong stance on abortion?

Stranger: yeah, i’m pro choice

You: mhm can you explain your reasoning?

Stranger: well i think theres a lot of situations where the person who is pregnant can’t have the baby or like it’s dangerous for them to have a child. or like they were raped and don’t want to have a reminder of that experience. i’m not saying that i think abortion should be glorified, but i think in some cases it’s needed.

You: mhm

You: yeah I'm just trying to develop an opinion for myself

You: I have friends who are like "life is precious" and idk how to respond to them

Stranger: yeah, i think in a lot of these types of opinions, it’s really really hard to change people’s minds

Stranger: i have friends like that too

You: yeah, I'm not always trying to change their opinions

You: but mine aren't totally set either haha

You: I think it's hard to do value-judgements

You: at least for me

Stranger: i get that, it’s good that you’re trying to form your own opinions though

You: scotus has an abortion decision that they're supposed to announce this month I think

Stranger: hm i’ll have to keep an eye out for that

Stranger: i’ve been really focused on the lgbtq workforce and healthcare discrimination cases though

You: mhmm

You: what do you think of them?

Stranger: i’m actually lgbtq myself so i’m glad that the non-discrimination one in the workforce got passed, i’m mostly worried about the healthcare, especially for trans people

You: mhmm what's the healthcare one?

Stranger: it’s deciding if healthcare providers can discriminate against lgbtq people

You: ahh

Stranger: yeah

You: would the workplace discrimination ruling have an affect on the things trump are trying to do with lgbt healthcare?

Stranger: i’m not really sure, i don’t think so though, cause as far as i know it only effects employment

You: mhm

You: what would say is the best way to support lgbt things?

You: *what would you say

Stranger: well i guess if you can, donating to different charities or help centers. there’s the Trevor Project that helps lgbtq youth. also just noticing when stuff that could negatively effect people in the community pop up and try speaking against them.

You: mhm

You: I think it's hard to speak up sometimes

Stranger: also just be accepting to the lgbtq people you encounter is great

Stranger: yeah it is but that won’t stop me from trying lol

You: haha

You: that's good for you

Stranger: thanks

You: I've been thinking a lot about blm

You: and the relationship between activism and how ppl respond to it

Stranger: yeah, it’s definitely interesting. i wholeheartedly support blm, but it’s confusing when some people don’t really support it

You: mhm

You: my fiance's dad is a democrat

You: but blm is making him more conservative

You: so it's weird and I just reflect on that

Stranger: yeah that is weird.. it’s just kinda odd when people don’t fully understand the whole meaning of the movement

You: yeah

You: like I also understand people who say that they need to advocate for things far past the end of the spectrum in order to pull the narrative in a direction

You: I think I'm just weirdly moderate lolol ^^

Stranger: yeah haha, i’m pretty far left if imma be honest, but i like talking to people with different views

You: mhm

You: I think the main reason why I'm not far left is because I think I care about getting things done practically

You: I think I'm a little less sympathetic for things I don't think will pass in congress

Stranger: yeah i get that, i’m really enjoying people taking matters into their own hands though. like direct action stuff

You: mhm I think direct action is super important

You: local action especailly

You: federal government is overrated

Stranger: very true

You: you can do a lot of good things at a community level

Stranger: for sure

idk if lenins polcy of bruning churches was good but you have to have soem kind of athiest government

(6-20-20) You both like politics.

You: hi

Stranger: hi

Stranger: ideology?

You: moderate left

You: you?

Stranger: far left

Stranger: uk

You: ahh kay

You: why do you like omegle?

Stranger: er dunno just fun to chat without consequences i guess

You: mhm that's fair

You: I like to hear about what other ppl think

Stranger: yh and argueing

You: haha I don't really argue that much

Stranger: some people arnt worth ur time

You: mhm maybe

You: where are you from?

Stranger: uk^^

You: I'm from the us

Stranger: noice

You: and I'm totally ignorant of british politics lol

Stranger: i know a little bit about america

You: how does your government work?

Stranger: cos its the centre of the world

You: sorry if this is a really dull question

Stranger: its fine ill asnwer w my limited understanding

You: I just ran into someone who was praising the monarchy

Stranger: pfft

Stranger: haha

Stranger: so basically above everyone we have a queen who approves certain stuff and has the ability to interjec tin products but msotly doesn then you have the unlected house of lords which is aristocrats recommended by other rich ppl and below that the ppl elected

Stranger: we have a prime minister so he doesnt have the same powers as president

Stranger: but hes more powerful than other pm's

You: mhm

You: the house of lords...

Stranger: yep

You: is the aristocracy still a big thing in the uk?

Stranger: its just like the senate in the usa except not elected and idk probaably

You: how does someone get recommended to the house of lords?

Stranger: be rich adn good at something or know someone whos rich

You: ahh I think it's weird that it's so closely tied to wealth

Stranger: not really the uk ruling class make it prtty obvious to us peasnts that its a ruling class fake democracy

Stranger: unlike the usa where everybody is supposed classless

You: right

You: I guess that's a fair statement

Stranger: but yeah fuck the queen

Stranger: how was the guy defedning monarchy?

You: oh he sounded kind of weird

You: like how god and the monarchy is essential for uk's stability and being

Stranger: pfft

You: he didn't really explain much

Stranger: both are irelevant nowadays

You: just pointed out that france and us are chaotic, according to him because there is no monarchy

Stranger: oh yeah thats totally

Stranger: why

You: yeah lol

Stranger: if only they had a monarchy then there owuld be no class and racial conflict

You: so how far left are you?

Stranger: very far

You: anarchist?

Stranger: nope left communist

Stranger: basically anti stalinist communist

You: what does your ideal government look like?

Stranger: well until you have a relatively stateless socialism you have a dictatorship of the proleterait

Stranger: and that has an armed population as the army and has direct democracy and a representive democracy who are payed wages simualr to that of a workmans

Stranger: in brief

You: mhm and membership has a criteria that you must be working class?

Stranger: membership of the democratic process yep

Stranger: a worker

You: mhm

Stranger: not necearily poor

You: what is the exact definition of working class btw?

Stranger: sombody who doesnt own and live off capitlist property

Stranger: or is a cpatilsit in other respects

Stranger: like an investor

Stranger: businessmen landlords and bankers

You: hmm I feel like it's hard for me to draw parallels

You: I know a pharmacist friend

You: who rents his place

You: for extra cash

Stranger: well when we have the revolution i doubt he'll be locked up or anything but youknow

Stranger: hes just a small landlord i guess

Stranger: supplemetning work income

You: so would people just discouraged from doing that kind of stuff?

Stranger: well hosuing will be nationalised as an early step

Stranger: so you wont have to

You: mhm

Stranger: making rent equal to bills

You: my parents also have investments

You: for like retirement

You: and just in general

Stranger: sure

You: was curious what would happen to those

Stranger: well i mean by investor sombody who is rich and does it for a job

You: ah kay

Stranger: the socialsit pension ting will be good anyhow

You: mhm

You: do you think that's it necessary for the world to follow this model? Or do you think that it can still work with just a communist state on it's own?

Stranger: nah for a lot of reasons you cant have it in one or a few states surrounded by cpaitlsit ones

Stranger: for one a DOTP surrounded by cpatilist states is forced to act like one to compete

Stranger: and therefore exploit other countries and its own labourers to the max

You: right, I was curious about that actually

Stranger: that was trotsky's argument

You: mhm

Stranger: he said u cant have 'socialsism in one country' because you have to first have international DOTP

You: dotp stands for?

Stranger: or you just become a state cpaitlist state like stalin

You: dictatorship of the prol.?

Stranger: dictatorship of the proletariat

Stranger: yep

You: mhm, that makes a lot of sense

Stranger: yep

Stranger: DOTP being when workers hold the state but not the economy

Stranger: the economy is still in private hands

You: right

You: I think I mix up all the varieties of socialism and communism

Stranger: yh DOTP isnt so much a variety but a transition

Stranger: from cpaitlism to socialism/com

You: mhm

You: I feel like I think about human nature cynically

Stranger: oh go on

You: as in, I'm skeptical of being satisfied with equality

You: *ppl being

Stranger: well tehy certainly arnt satified by inequality so how bad can it really get?

You: mhm true

Stranger: we dont mean absolute equality

Stranger: just equality of opporutunity to realise ur best self

You: idk if this is school bias or anything, but when we learn about communism, it's often framed that the party just ends up with all the wealth

You: or power

Stranger: theres a reason that idea of so called communism is taught rlly

Stranger: mainly cos of porpaganda but theres some truth

Stranger: under lenin the state was definitely a semi deictatorship of a few workers parties

Stranger: but with a democratic mechanism and worker councils to elect them

You: hm

You: *mhm

Stranger: with the intention of educating a largely illitarate peasant russia into a democratic socialsit society

Stranger: but after the vicotry of stalin after lenins death, whatever redistribution of power was dropped and centrlasing power in the party and in stalin was the priority

You: right

Stranger: so there is a history to it

You: I feel like I was thought that there was a component of ideological purity -- like, if you expressed greater loyalty to the party, you could get more stuff

You: like better food tickets or cars or stuff

You: *taught

Stranger: sure teh soviet union during and after stalin was definitely a class society

You: mhm, how do you avoid class from rearising?

Stranger: you dont centralise power in bureacracy

Stranger: and make it mroe acoutnable

Stranger: you arm the popualtion

Stranger: make durable directly democratic mechanisms

Stranger: accountability at all level

You: so you're saying like enshrining freedom of speech / freedom of arms in the system?

Stranger: im not a freedom of speech absolutist but sure

Stranger: its very important

You: wasn't China kinda of freedom of speech until tianmensquare, were they?

Stranger: ha no

Stranger: you got tortured if you spoke out

You: ah kay

Stranger: same as soviet union really

Stranger: mao wasnt masively different

You: I'm just thinking of the blm protests in the US

Stranger: yh

You: when ppl feel like change isn't happening

You: then they can get violent

Stranger: yep

You: was just curious how your government would handle that

Stranger: well the governmetn and the people are intrinsically merged

Stranger: but it depends like waht the situation would be

You: mhm I mean technically there's universal suffrage in the US but not everyone votes

Stranger: yep

Stranger: electoral college too

You: and I think minority parties can sometimes be the loudest and most opinionated

Stranger: yh

You: so even with a proletariat government I think there might still be disagreement

Stranger: yh

Stranger: for sure

Stranger: and debate

Stranger: whats ur point

You: mhm idk

Stranger: aight sitl idk the answers

You: yeah it's interesting

Stranger: what are u taught abotu socialism in schools

You: mhm, I guess just the things I said?

You: I think we studied east germany and the ussr

Stranger: ah k

Stranger: yep

You: what life was like

You: to live there

Stranger: sure and if you trying and feed everyone this is waht happens type shite

Stranger: you cant be nice with the economy

You: mhm I don't think my teachers tried to make extremely biased conclusions or anything

You: but the curriculum itself could be biased I think

Stranger: k yeah same

Stranger: yeah fr

Stranger: we dont learn at all about the british empire

You: yup

Stranger: like not once

Stranger: or really any british history beyond knights and castles

You: actually in world history class my teacher commented that I was beginning to sound "anti-american" lol

Stranger: haha good

Stranger: anti american what a word

Stranger: being anti imperialist and anti racist is being anti british too

You: lol

Stranger: tells u what they think about britishness

Stranger: its not culture but power

Stranger: which is a load of bs

You: mhm

Stranger: what did you say to teacher

You: idk I'm not very nationalist

You: I didn't say anything, I'm not really the kind of person to argue

Stranger: neither but i like uk just not enough to block refugees to preserve it

Stranger: like some wacko patriots are

You: mhm

Stranger: they act like the uks not been 15% non white since like 1940

You: mhm

You: what do you think of their opinion that a country should have a right to control their own culture/ethnicities?

Stranger: erm

Stranger: well thats tough

Stranger: i think the ideal of direct dmeocracy and a reactioanry population is contradictory

Stranger: and therefore maybe u need more centralised leadership there

You: I think I heard a scenario of belgium or something wanting to block the construction of mosques in like a historical district or something

You: to preserve their national culture/history

Stranger: yep idk

You: yeah idk either

Stranger: but like how would direct democrayc work in somalia

Stranger: or saudi arabia

Stranger: thats a tough question

Stranger: would men use it to repress women

You: mhm yup

You: or well, there are several states that have a democracy

Stranger: its like india was basically a dicatroship for its first 20 years

You: and they voted to impose state religion

You: state religious laws

You: that kind of thing

Stranger: basically cos it would be a bloodbath

Stranger: of relgion and caste

Stranger: so the governmetn had to go against the people to do whats the long term good

You: I think it's sometimes hard to have foresight about what the "long term good" is though

You: like everybody things they are doing things for long term good

You: *thinks

Stranger: well in indias caste removing caste racism and relgious bigotry was a big thing

Stranger: and many people died due to it

You: mhm

You: I think it's really hard for me to know what is "right"

Stranger: and i think general equality is a good thing impose against a population

Stranger: if they dont want it

Stranger: thats the only way change has ever come

You: mhm although I think indoctrination is always possible

Stranger: eh

You: I mean, this is kind of a hot take, but Western values are indoctrinated

Stranger: yeahthey are

You: similarly speaking you could indoctrinate capitalistic values or communist values

Stranger: some are right some are wrong

Stranger: not succesfully

You: and I think the ppl who grow up with whatever they are indoctrinated with are generally happy

You: and support the views they grow up with

Stranger: yeah true

You: although I think it's sad for whoever gets left out of the system

Stranger: like anti deisicimination laws are passed despite a population

Stranger: for a long term good

You: mhm

You: yeah idk governments are hard haha

Stranger: haha yes

Stranger: thats why were still talking about it

You: mhm

You: I don't really know what to think about ppl who support religious states

You: like indonesia has that problem

Stranger: theyre idiots

You: like they want their state to become religious

Stranger: ik snd prolly will

You: but if I imagine myself in their shoes

You: I think they just want to be closer to their religion

You: which is like a personal value

You: like I'm secular, so things like freedom and equality mean a lot to me

Stranger: truw

You: but I can also imagine a different world were idk god and faith matter a lot to me

You: we have pretty significant freedom of religion battles in the us

Stranger: same]

Stranger: if i didnt grow up in suhc an athiest school and get bullied for it id be hardcore jesus

You: oh your family is religious?

Stranger: yep

You: mhm I was reading about the us lgbt anti-discrimination ruling earlier

Stranger: yeah

You: the religious schools here are worried about being affected

You: like they don't want to hire gay teachers

Stranger: good

You: bc they're a religious school

Stranger: get w the program schools

Stranger: idk if lenins polcy of bruning churches was good but you have to have soem kind of athiest government

You: mhm I think anti-discrimination is good, but I feel like I can understand their resistance of feeling like they can't teach their religion the way they want

Stranger: sure yeah

You: idk most things I don't know what to think lol

Stranger: but think about if they dont get agy teachers

Stranger: anti discimination laws dont work

You: hm?

Stranger: cos u can jsut say u didnt disciminate and taht it

You: ohh no it still matters

You: like imagine you are a religious school

You: and a pastor applies and says they are a gay priest

You: and you don't want to hire them

You: they can sue bc discrimination

Stranger: maybe but its a relgious school why u even applying

You: mhm some ppl kind of want to change christianity I think

You: like there are pastors who are much more sympathetic to lgbt

Stranger: eh still

Stranger: lictus and that

Stranger: levictus

You: yeah idk

You: most of the churches in my area are pro-lgbt

Stranger: pretty sure my preist is closeted

You: aww

Stranger: hes very camp

You: camp ?

Stranger: and went to cambridge

Stranger: femenine

You: ahh

Stranger: yep

You: yeah religion is an odd place in politics for me

You: like it's often at the root of weird stuff

Stranger: oh yeah

Stranger: are u relgious

You: that runs counter to like modern science common sense

You: no

You: well, I'm like 20% spiritual I guess

You: but I'm not religious

Stranger: yep

Stranger: never got the difference

You: between spiritual and religious?

Stranger: yep

You: oh, for me, religious is like adhering to a religion, or denomination, or religious practice

You: spiritual is like vaguely believe in something

You: *belieiving

You: without doing anything about it

If I have to quote the constitution to you then we are really royally screwed here almost in a literal sense so I bid you farewell and I hope your cause ends up in hell with the rest of the sinful people. Peace!

You both like politics.

You: hii

Stranger: Hello

You: what do you care about?

Stranger: God, the Crown, the Aristocracy and the British family, you?

You: mhm equality, kindness, wishy washy stuff

Stranger: Definitely

You: what about the crown and aristocracy?

Stranger: I care about their almost universal existence in the British nation and the importance of their existence in the current scheme of the political climate.

You: can you explain?

Stranger: Want me to baby feed you? Alright... the Crown are of an utmost importance to our unwritten constitution, our established church and the different classes of people in our society who keep it solid. If they cease to exist then British society will be far less better and potentially in the long run not exist.

You: I guess what I mean I understand why you think this is the case

You: *I don't understand

Stranger: Oh well just look at history. The French and American states are now republican countries with lots of political unrest and instabilities of their own. With this current 'black lives matter' rubbish it's mostly just uni kids on a weekend bender.

You: and you think that having a figurative monarchy helps maintain order/stability?

Stranger: Absolutely, though she is slightly more than figurative constitutionally.

You: what authorities does the monarchy have?

Stranger: If I have to quote the constitution to you then we are really royally screwed here almost in a literal sense so I bid you farewell and I hope your cause ends up in hell with the rest of the sinful people. Peace!

It was difficult being vegetarian on dorm, i said i would return once i was done

(6-20-20) You both like conversation.

You: hi

Stranger: Hey

You: anything on your mind?

Stranger: Blank slate over here

Stranger: Very zen

Stranger: Tabula rasa

You: that's nice

You: I've been thinking about my self-esteem

Stranger: How high it is?

You: mhm right now it's kind of on the low side

Stranger: Ooof

Stranger: Everyone has those moments

You: so on omegle I often go to the #politics tag

You: and I often get called dumb

You: and I'm reflecting on that i think

Stranger: Talking politics online is a mistake

You: mhm ^^ yeah it's poor judgement

Stranger: Yeaaa

Stranger: How old are you?

You: 26

You: I like to find strongly opinionated people

You: and talk to them

You: because I want to understand them

Stranger: People who talk politics online arent here to come to an understanding

You: but I think in part through the way I talk, I end up getting called dumb a lot

You: mhm

Stranger: Welp, calling someone dumb isnt cool

You: yeah a lot of them are mean

You: but I want to know why they're angry

Stranger: Read books or articles

You: mhm I guess

Stranger: Not random internet weirdos opinions

You: I feel like I'm just skeptical when I read books/articles by professors or whichever about "white rage" or things like that

You: so I think it's valuable to talk to people from places where I've never been to

Stranger: People have trouble articulating thoughts and opinions, especially with topics that make them angry

You: mhm

You: I try to ask them about what their life is like

You: and things they care about aside from the hot button issues

Stranger: Truu

You: A lot of them are just really mean though

Stranger: Welcome to the internet

You: yeah

You: anyway enough about me

You: what do you normally talk about on omegle? ^^

Stranger: Oof, anything really

Stranger: Books, shows, hobbies

You: mhm

You: I like to talk about values

You: or like things that are important to you

You: kind of like if there is one thing in the world

You: that you would never give up

Stranger: No wonder you've had so many bad experiences

You: lol why?

Stranger: Lol

Stranger: Whats your values?

You: mhm, I think I value empathy

You: and just being kind

Stranger: I can see that

You: as for things I wouldn't give up...

You: I guess my individuality

You: (whatever that means)

You: sorry it's super abstract haha

Stranger: Lol, thats cool

Stranger: Values usually are

You: um, for physical things, I wouldn't want to give up the internet lol

Stranger: Is the internet physical?

You: fine lol, I guess that's abstract lol

Stranger: Lol

Stranger: You dont want to give up the server rooms and cables

You: lol

You: I'm not christian, but I find the concept of giving things up during lent fascinating

Stranger: What about ramadan you western centric shill

You: haha

You: I actually don't know anything about ramadan

Stranger: Ohhh

Stranger: I dont know a ton about it either tbh

You: I think I just remember people talking about fasting

Stranger: Mhmm

Stranger: They fast and avoid water during the day

You: mhm

You: I think lent interests me because I had a lot friends who would be like "I'm giving up chocolate"

You: or something random or specific

Stranger: Truue

You: it made me think about what I would give up, if I were to give something up

Stranger: Depends what the goal is right

Stranger: Whats the goal of lent?

You: mhm

You: umm

Stranger: Like am i trying to be closer to god?

You: (I don't know so I went to wikipedia lol)

Stranger: Trying to understand sacerfice

You: yes sacrifice

Stranger: Truu

Stranger: No idea what i would give up

You: mhmm

Stranger: Social media?

You: I hardly use social media haha

You: I went vegetarian for year and a half in college just because

Stranger: Oh nicee!

Stranger: That can be difficult

You: idk I didn't really have a sophisiticated reason for it

Stranger: I was vegetarian for four years

You: ohhh cool

You: why were you vegetarian?

Stranger: Ethical reasons

You: mhm

Stranger: I didnt like the meat supply chain and resources used for it

You: right

You: for me I had a bad break up and just spontaneously and randomly decided I didn't want to eat meat

Stranger: I'm the opposite of you, i stopped being vegetarian when i went to college

Stranger: Ohhh, yeah breakups suck

You: was there a reason why you stopped?

Stranger: It was difficult being vegetarian on dorm, i said i would return once i was done

You: ahh

Stranger: But i started getting really into fitness

Stranger: Hard to hit the macros with a vegetarian diet

You: right

Stranger: Why'd you stop being vegetarian?

You: mhm... I think I just stopped being vegetarian randomly

You: ...it's probably not very sophisticasted either

You: I've thought about it once or twice why I ended up vegetarian

Stranger: i feel like its appropriate, randomly stop what you randomly started

You: I guess I must have treated it like how ppl sometimes get a haircut after a breakup

You: like I think I wanted a different feeling to my life

Stranger: I didnt know that was a thing lol

You: ohh yeah like it's a stereotype

Stranger: I know about delete facebook and hit the gym

You: haha

Stranger: Didya get a fancy new doo?

You: no not really

Stranger: Rip, you had the perfect excuse to experiment

You: yeah it's true

You: I wanted to dye my hair in college

You: but never got the courage for it

You: and then towards the end, I was worried about jobs after graduating

Stranger: You play it real safe

You: yeah I do haha

You: are you risky?

Stranger: I dont think im risky exactly

Stranger: Just more than you lol

You: lol

You: can you give some examples?

Stranger: And if it goes bad its fun to joke about

You: oh haha

You: I get self-conscious easily

Stranger: Yeah i get it

You: a lot of times I convince myself that a lot of peers secretly hate me

Stranger: Ooof, i've done that too

You: I think I need to be friendlier

Stranger: Also imposter syndrome

You: but I'm a huge introvert

Stranger: Mhmmm

You: and yeah imposter syndrome

Stranger: It can be hard to put yourself out there

Stranger: What did you go to college for?

You: biology

Stranger: fancy

Stranger: Lol

You: and the active personality gives the perception that you're really listening

You: which matters a lot

Stranger: I'm a good listener i feel like

Stranger: My cell knowledge is sublime

You: lol

You: is there a reason why you like to come on omegle?

Stranger: Uhhh, i like talking to people

Stranger: So the quarantine kinda sucks for me

You: mhm

You: I forgot it was the quarantine

You: I was just thinking it's a friday night and you seem too cool for omegle on a friday haha

Stranger: Lolllll

Stranger: Trust me, im a massive dork

Stranger: Just a pretty social one

You: right

Stranger: idk

Stranger: Did you send one?

You: yeah I did

Stranger: Naww lol

Stranger: Just tell me title and artist

You: v=W0OX-a17Hfk

Stranger: That works too

You: it's entirely instrumental

You: idk most of the stuff I listen to is just background music

You: for when I'm doing something

Stranger: I feel that, i listen to stuff without lyrics when im working too

Stranger: I like the art work

You: but yeah, I don't have much of a sophisticated taste in music or anything

Stranger: Dont worry, no music degree on the wall here

Stranger: I just know if i like something or dont

You: mhm it feels like most people have a strong sense of what they like an dislike ^^

You: for me it's kind of uhh... blank haha

Stranger: Lol

Stranger: I'll listen to any genre if i like the song

Stranger: This musics chill, i like it

Stranger: Reminds me of harvest moon

Stranger: Used to play as a kid

You: ohh

You: I've never played

You: I did briefly play rune factory on an emulator

You: but otherwise yeah I don't have a long list of games either ^^

You: I think I'm kind of boring overall

Stranger: lol you're not boring

Stranger: I wouldnt be talking to you if you were

You: oh lol

You: thanks

Stranger: Noo problem

Stranger: I'm kinda glad i found someone around my age to talk to tbh

You: ohh I forgot that I told you my age lol

You: do you normally get ppl much younger?

Stranger: I dont go here often tbh

Stranger: But yeah, alot of young people

You: mhm

You: I feel like you're probably the most normal person I've gotten in a while

Stranger: Lol im glad

Stranger: What do you usually get?

You: mhm angry people

Stranger: Also the political tag probably skewed your sample

You: a lot of people trolling or just having fun some way

Stranger: I seriously dont get the fun in trying to upset people

You: yeah I've been trying to understand that too

Stranger: Modern bullying i guess

Stranger: idk

You: like it doesn't work to ask "why do you like to be mean"

You: so I will continue with my research!

Stranger: Lol plz dont for your own sake

You: lol

You: haha

Stranger: Put the scientific method to bed

You: lol

Stranger: Do you know reddit?

You: yup

Stranger: Ask me anything

You: the subreddit?

Stranger: Naw, im doing an ama

You: ohhh

Stranger: You're the only one attending

You: lol

You: okay, I hope you don't mind if I push the pedal then

You: what do you regret most?

You: (I ask heavy stuff often lol >.<)

Stranger: Loll

Stranger: I felt like i should have ended my last relationship sooner than i did

You: mhm why?

Stranger: I was just kinda hoping the problems would get resolved

Stranger: And that kinda lead me to hold on

You: what kind of problems?

Stranger: Drawing the line here lol, i dont wanna be sad all day

You: ahh okay sorry lol

You: yeah I'm really nosy

Stranger: Lol its okk, i just dont wanna dwell in it

You: how long ago did you break up?

Stranger: How about you, whats your biggest regret?

Stranger: Few months ago

You: ohh

You: (I hope you're okay)

Stranger: I'm getting there

You: for me...

You: I guess not asking for help when I needed it

You: I don't have many regrets though

Stranger: Mhmm

Stranger: I never asked for help growing up

You: mhm I'm the same

You: or at least, I'm still really bad at asking for help

Stranger: I didnt wanna bother people, kinda just dealt with it on my own

Stranger: Yeahhh, its hard

You: right

You: and like I have a stupid amount of useless pride for something not important

Stranger: Sometimes i just try to remember that people do want to help alot of the time

Stranger: Oh truue

You: mhm right

Stranger: I also dont like looking dumb lol

You: yeah haha

You: okay for the next AMA: Make a confession of some kind that you don't ordinarily tell people

You: (though I guess this isn't a question)

Stranger: More like a demand

You: lol

You: clearly I'm not in the habit of doing ama's

Stranger: So like im pretty healthy and take care of myself alot

Stranger: And i come across as super confident

Stranger: But im like pretty insecure about my looks

You: mhm

Stranger: Like im pretty critical to myself

You: yeah we're often our own worst critics, right?

Stranger: Yeahhh

Stranger: How about you?

You: ohh

You: umm, how bad do I want to go lol?

Stranger: Lol, your call

You: I think I use omegle to boost my ego. Like I'm not interested in hooking up with anyone, but when people express interest in me it boosts my ego and then I can ditch them

You: >.>

Stranger: Ooof

You: was that heavy one?

Stranger: Lol no, i get it

Stranger: Im just preparing to be disconnected on lol

You: ohh I don't usually dc at all haha

Stranger: Mhmmm

Stranger: Well i think you're pretty cool tbh, take these ego points

You: oh haha

You: idk I think I'm selfish in a lot of various ways

Stranger: I feel like being able to refelct on it is like a good way to begin to address it

Stranger: Some people lives their entire lives without realizing what drives what they do

You: mhm

You: next AMA: What's something you dream of doing?

Stranger: A thru hike

You: thru hike?

Stranger: Its like a long hike that takes weeks or months

You: ahh wow that seems cool

Stranger: It isss, ive been on multiple day hikes

You: mhm I want to do one!

Stranger: But a thru hike would be amazing

Stranger: You can tag along lol

You: I have no idea how you would prepare for one haha

You: lol

Stranger: Lol

Stranger: You know how some people randomly plan holidays or online shop

Stranger: Just to waste time

You: mhm

Stranger: I plan thru hikes and my gear and food list sometimes lol

Stranger: Its pretty dorky

You: I think it's cool

You: wait so for a multi-day hike, how is that planned?

You: like do you usually go with someone?

Stranger: Solo or people

Stranger: I started going solo because its kind of hard to get people to come along

You: what do you pack?

Stranger: And being alone in the wilderness is kind of amazing

You: mhmm

Stranger: Pack alottt of stuff lol

You: lol

Stranger: I subscribe to the ultralight philosophy of hiking

You: mhhhm

Stranger: Where you try to keep gear minimal and light

Stranger: So you can go long distances and bee less tired

You: right

You: what do you see as essential?

Stranger: Tent

Stranger: Sleeping bag or quilt

Stranger: you're so lucky you're american

Stranger: You have better access to gear than i do lol

Stranger: Sleeping pad

Stranger: Backpack

You: really? for some reason I feel like canada has the outdoorsy stereotype haha

Stranger: Its legit amazing here nature wise

Stranger: Just harder and more expensive to get some gear lol

You: mhm

You: how much water/food do you pack?

Stranger: 2000 cals a day usually

Stranger: and i keep filtration tablets on me

Stranger: So i can reup on water

You: mhmm do you usually reup water?

You: I can see water getting a lot

Stranger: Streams usually

You: to carry

Stranger: Dont carry a ton, just reup on water

You: mhm

Stranger: being in nature is fun

Stranger: It feels like a reset for the brain sometimes

You: right totally

You: so do you usually pick hikes with nearby streams/water?

Stranger: Well there are usually trails people do

Stranger: Some people plan their own using a topical map

Stranger: I dontt

You: ah

Stranger: Topographic*

Stranger: Idk what topical is

You: on the surface of something ^^

Stranger: Lol oh

You: I guess it would just make sense to go a visitors center and ask for recommendations

Stranger: Naww, i usually just research it online

Stranger: I rambled a ton my bad lol

You: oh not at all

Stranger: What's something you dream of doing?

You: mhm I want to be lazy and copy yours lol

You: but I guess it's probably something vacation related

Stranger: The more the merrier

You: I'm super bad at planning

You: or more specifically, I procrastinate forever

You: so I don't plan vacations normally lol

Stranger: Loll

Stranger: I kinda like to wing it with a general idea of what i want to do

Stranger: I like exploring cities

Stranger: Where do you want to vacation?

You: ahh

You: mhmm I dunno lol

You: I so bad at being decisive lol

You: I do like outdoorsy things though

You: less so cities

You: I've never been clubbing or anything like that and I don't think I'd want to lol

You: I also don't drink very much

Stranger: Its overrated

Stranger: Im more outdoorsy too

Stranger: BUTTT

Stranger: Im a foodie

You: ohh

Stranger: and love stuffing my face when i visit a city

You: mhm that's cool

You: I think I like food until it gets too expensive

You: and then my heart sinks too much to enjoy it

Stranger: Brah fuck tourist traps

Stranger: I want hole in the wall joints

You: mhm those are great ^^

Stranger: Montreal is legit my favorite city

You: mhm montreal is great!

You: pretty much

You: I actually crush over guys pretty easily online

(6-19-20) You both like politics.

Stranger: Hey

Stranger: How are you?

You: I'm fine you?

Stranger: I'm okay

Stranger: Changed my asset allocation a bit

You: ohh fancy

You: how so?

Stranger: Added international equities

You: mhm is there a reason why?

Stranger: Diversification

You: I see

Stranger: It's pretty cheap

Stranger: Fidelity's international index fund is like 0.035% a year

You: ohh

You: is it a lower rate than domestic ones?

Stranger: Yup, that's like $3.5 for every $10,000

Stranger: No

You: oh, it's higher?

You: or about the same?

Stranger: I mean, Fidelity even has a zero expense ratio index series now

Stranger: I don't personally use it but you can get that if you want

You: idk what that means ^^

Stranger: It's 0 for all

Stranger: No expense ratio

Stranger: 0 expense ratio

You: sorry I'm not super financially literate so idk what that means

You: like no fees or something?

Stranger: You don't pay an annual fee on the fund

You: ahh k

Stranger: How old are you?

You: 26

Stranger: Ok

You: you?

Stranger: I'm 24

You: mhm it's good that you're investing

Stranger: I've been investing for a few years now

Stranger: Mostly domestic equities

You: yeah do you just follow index funds?

Stranger: It's painful to change allocation

You: why?

Stranger: I just buy index funds, yes

Stranger: Because selling means taxes

You: mhm

Stranger: Unless you're in a 401k or IRA

You: right

Stranger: But the space there is limited

Stranger: And I invest a lot more than those limits

You: right

Stranger: Index funds are pretty cheap these days

You: mhm I heard they are good to buy

You: I was told that when you're young you should buy riskier though

Stranger: It's like buying a share the one company that you would get

Stranger: if all the companies merged together

You: right

Stranger: Riskier than equities?

You: stocks

Stranger: Like leveraged equities?

Stranger: Yeah?

Stranger: I mean, stock index funds buy stocks

Stranger: Underneath

You: mhm

You: what brings you to omegle?

Stranger: Just bored on a Friday evening

Stranger: Got done with work

Stranger: Reading news

You: ah okay

You: what tags do you normally do?

Stranger: Hm, computer science, investing, politics, san francisco

You: oh you're from SF?

Stranger: Bay Area, yeah

Stranger: Unfortunately

You: mhm expensive

Stranger: Eh

You: not really?

Stranger: I mean, the pay is a fair bit higher

Stranger: Expenses don't scale as much

Stranger: Like the rent here is 2.5K for a 1 bedroom apartment

You: ahh okay

Stranger: I pay 1.25K a month

Stranger: my girlfriend pays 1.25K

Stranger: But my pay would be like 5K a month less in say Tennessee

You: I see

Stranger: So money left after rent is definitely higher here

Stranger: Than wherever else

You: mhm

Stranger: Rent in Tennessee may be 1K a month but who cares really

You: does your workplace have offices in other states?

Stranger: Totally

Stranger: Like ten states

You: mhm

You: yeah I haven't thought very much about how differently the same company in different states

You: *pays

Stranger: Incredibly differently

Stranger: https://www.levels.fyi/locations/

You: I feel like the stereotype is that SF has a lot of fancy tech companies, therefore the salary is high because of the company

Stranger: The median pay in the Bay Area is 239K

Stranger: It's 115K in Dallas

You: mhm

You: (I was just thinking 239k is a lot haha)

Stranger: 136K in Chicago

Stranger: 239K is the median here, you can make more if you are more senior

Stranger: Or perform well above average

Stranger: This is tech

Stranger: Pay

Stranger: I mean

You: right

You: I'm not familiar with tech salaries

Stranger: That site has a good summary

Stranger: Anyway..

You: it's interesting, thanks for sharing it

Stranger: What do you do in life

You: research tech

Stranger: Okay

Stranger: It says you like politics

Stranger: What are your interests there

You: mhm, pretty general I guess

You: I'm mostly here to hear about other ppl's opinions

You: I'm interesting in the diversity of opinions across different areas I guess

You: *interested

Stranger: Are you a guy

You: yup

Stranger: Same

Stranger: Do you plan on getting married

You: mhm... idk

You: you?

Stranger: I'm not

You: that sounds very resolute even though you're cohabitating?

Stranger: Well, yeah, talked this through on the third date

Stranger: We've been together since sophomore year of college

You: right

You: and is there a reason why you dont want to get married?

Stranger: Don't see any reason to

Stranger: All you get is lose property rights

You: mhm in what way?

Stranger: As in you don't own anything

Stranger: The marriage does

Stranger: Which is why things get divvied up in divorce

You: oh, so you prefer to keep things totally separate?

Stranger: Most definitely

You: mhm you sound like a hyper-rational person

You: I feel like the popular norm is to get a prenup

Stranger: Eh

Stranger: I would definitely not call that a norm

Stranger: Almost nobody gets a prenup

You: hm, really?

Stranger: As a % of marriages

You: oh I just thought that the stereotype was that among highly educated people with a lot going into a marriage, they would

Stranger: https://www.oceansidedivorcelawfirm.com/prenup/prenuptial-agreement-statistics/

Stranger: "Despite half of all marriages ending in divorce, only 11% of couples state that there’s a chance their marriage could end in divorce and less than 5% have a prenup in place to protect their interests should they divorce"

You: like marriage laywers and things

You: but idk

You: I feel like not all americans have incomes on the level that you do

Stranger: And prenups get routinely thrown out

Stranger: I mean, that's just not true

Stranger: Jeff Bezos just divorced

Stranger: Richest man on earth

Stranger: Because his wife was extra awesome

Stranger: He only had to give 25% of his assets

Stranger: lol

Stranger: Otherwise it'd be at least 50%

Stranger: Now she's one of the richest people on earth

You: mhm

Stranger: What

You: hm?

Stranger: I mean

Stranger: Jeff Bezos was valedictorian at Princeton

Stranger: In Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Stranger: He started by working at an investment banking firm in NYC

Stranger: He was always elite...

Stranger: Didn't get a prenup

You: right

Stranger: And at any rate

Stranger: The courts just say

Stranger: The wife was under duress

Stranger: Or it has aged out

You: in either case I thought it was just a stereotype, I could just be totally wrong

Stranger: If the marriage is more than a couple years old

You: mhm

Stranger: I think it makes the relationship stronger for sure

Stranger: Given it's so easy to just walk out

You: what makes the relationship stronger?

Stranger: You've really got to be choosing to be with the other person everyday

You: ahh yeah

Stranger: I mean

Stranger: Married people

Stranger: A lot of them

You: I guess I haven't thought very much about the meaning of marriage

Stranger: Just put up with whatever

Stranger: Just to avoid the hassle

You: mhm

You: I guess for me I'm just irrationally sentimental haha

Stranger: Hm, okay

Stranger: I don't see why being sentimental needs to mean giving up property rights

You: I mean from my eyes, you seem to be a hyper-rational person

Stranger: That seems like unnecessary negative judgement on people that don't get married

You: hm? I don't mean it negatively

You: sorry if it came off that way

Stranger: Okay

Stranger: So you said you research tech?

You: you just seem like 500% more rational than everyone haha

Stranger: What do you mean by that exactly

You: research technician?

Stranger: Ah ok

You: like sort of do experiments

Stranger: I read it as

Stranger: I research "tech"

You: oh yeah, it's just the job title

Stranger: Makes sense

Stranger: So what are your political ideas generally

Stranger: Also what state are you in

You: mhm new england

You: I'm kind of moderate left

Stranger: Okay

You: I don't have extremely strong views

You: it's more so I'm very interested in understanding the views of others

You: and I guess the kind of lives that other ppl have

You: I think the coasts are kind of a bubble

You: it's easy to miss what a lot of the country goes through

Stranger: Well

Stranger: The coasts are kind of a bubble

Stranger: But they also do have most of the people

Stranger: So like, pretty representativwe

Stranger: representative*

You: mhm idk if that kind of reasoning works

You: like if you were to hypothetically imagine a world democracy

You: it's like saying asia is representative of the world

Stranger: Well, works if you weight it by people rather than by geographical area

Stranger: No, since Asia only makes up 40% of the world's population

Stranger: And there's little linking India and China

Stranger: Two vastly different cultures

Stranger: Other than white people saying

Stranger: "Ok, this is Europe, which is where I'm at - all this stuff east of me is asia"

You: hm? you've lost me a little

Stranger: I'm just saying Asia as a label doesn't make sense since there's little tying say China to India

Stranger: And moreover Asia is not representative of the world in general

You: oh, idk divisions are arbitrary

Stranger: Most of the GDP is not in Asia

You: or at least, my statement was intended as a counterargument

You: for the coasts being representative of the US based on the premise that most of the population is concentrated there

Stranger: Well, not really as a % of the population

Stranger: If 75% of people were in Asia

Stranger: And all incomes were same across earth

Stranger: Then yes, Asia would pretty much be world

You: mhm I just think that there's a function and purpose to having a government that takes into consideration geography

You: for instance, I don't believe in presidential elections based entirely on popular vote

You: even though I am a democrat

Stranger: Hm, ok

Stranger: Well, there's some chance the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will go through

You: the design of the senate is to ensure that each state (which is a geographical designation) has a voice in government

You: otherwise states like idk idaho would have no voice at all

Stranger: Sure

You: I think electoral reform is good though

You: in either case I do think a rural-urban divide should be considered

You: and I think protections should exist for rural interests

Stranger: I see

Stranger: So you're voting Joe Biden?

You: yup

Stranger: What policies of his do you like?

You: mhm it's more of a "I definitely won't vote trump"

Stranger: Right

You: what are your thoughts?

Stranger: On his policies?

You: sure, or in general

Stranger: Hm

Stranger: I suppose I'm pretty neutral

Stranger: I think they have similar policies

You: who did you support in the primary?

Stranger: Although I suppose I do prefer Trump's policies more in general although not a fan of him as a person

You: which of his policies did you like?

Stranger: Did not vote in the primaries

Stranger: Cutting corporate tax rates for one

Stranger: That's one I think is definitely important

Stranger: Reducing trade imbalances

Stranger: Especially with China I think is very critical

Stranger: He's got great policy on that

You: are those the tariffs or are you talking about something else?

Stranger: Individual income tax cuts I'm not a fan of

Stranger: He blew a massive hole in the budget

Stranger: I mean the negotiations in general

Stranger: The tariffs are a means to an end

You: ahh I see

You: I haven't seen a lot of data on outcomes of trade

Stranger: Joe Biden has great policy regarding SS

Stranger: He wants to impose the SS taxes after 400,000

Stranger: I think the cap should be removed entirely

Stranger: It's a nonsensical system

You: ah yeah

Stranger: I also like his carbon tax a lot, even though climate change is not really a concern of mine

Stranger: Since it is very much like a VAT or sales tax

Stranger: Which I'm a big fan of by Democrats say they hate...

Stranger: but*

You: mhm

You: it sounds like economics are you main concern

Stranger: Joe Biden also has great immigration policu

Stranger: He has called for a moratorium on deportations

Stranger: Trump is doing buffoonish stuff there

Stranger: Although Biden wants to deport criminals which makes no sense

Stranger: Given the high recidivism levels

Stranger: They just reenter the border illegally and commit more crimes

You: mhm interesting

Stranger: They need to be imprisoned not deported

Stranger: Well

Stranger: Housing policy is my primary concern, over economics

You: oh, how so?

Stranger: But I see that more as a state-level issue and not a federal one

Stranger: Well

Stranger: In the San Francisco Bay Area for instance

Stranger: Over 90% of the land zoned for residential use is zoned single-family

Stranger: i.e. it is illegal to build anything but a single-family house

You: huh

Stranger: Causing massive housing shortages

Stranger: The housing prices are through the roof

Stranger: And especially low earners are very house poor

You: is this a controversial issue at all?

You: I don't understand why your city would keep those zoning regulations

Stranger: Because the homeowners like it

You: mhm

Stranger: The current governor Gavin Newsom ran saying he'll fight for reform

Stranger: But he got nothing done

Stranger: Nothing at all

You: right...

Stranger: The median home price in the Bay Area is like a million dollars

You: are zoning regulations city ordinances?

You: so it would be city council elections?

Stranger: City or county depending on context

Stranger: Yeah, in a lot of cases

You: ahh kay

You: I actually don't know what the housing secretary of various departments do

Stranger: Housing secretary of various departments?

Stranger: What do you mean by that

Stranger: Like the HUD secretary?

You: yup

You: I think there are some state counterparts too

Stranger: The HUD mostly manages so called section 8 housing

Stranger: across the various states

You: subsidizing housing?

Stranger: Yeah

You: ahh okay

You: yeah I know very little about this

You: thanks for explaining it to me

Stranger: Really the important part is increasing supply

Stranger: Subsidizing it is not a cure at all

Stranger: Since you still can't physically put more people in no matter what

Stranger: Unless there are more actual housing units

You: is it the developer who decides whether to make something section 8 versus something normal?

Stranger: Well, depends on the ordinance really

Stranger: Usually they require a certain %

Stranger: Like if you build 100 units, at least 30 have to be rent stabilized

Stranger: Or whatever

You: oh

Stranger: Sometimes they can even contribute to a fund instead of actually building the subsidized housing

You: right

Stranger: No developer in their right mind would do that by their own will

Stranger: I mean

Stranger: It's all silly

Stranger: We have that here

You: mhm

Stranger: But it's just very upsetting seeing so many people so house poor

You: yea

You: thanks for explaining all these things to me

Stranger: Anyway

Stranger: I should have dinner now

Stranger: Nice chat

Stranger: Goodbye

You: alright good night!

Stranger has disconnected.

just hopping to discord, flirting, sexting and either of us getting butthurt and blocking the other person

(6-19-20) You both like nonbinary.

Stranger: not horny

You: hi

You: okay cool

Stranger: hai

Stranger: What brings you here?

You: mhm floating around randomly

You: you?

Stranger: i felt lonely

You: aww

You: I'm not looking for relationships btw

Stranger: i am, but i'm also down to just chat

You: mhm cool!

Stranger: ^_^

You: have you found many relationships off omegle before?

You: just curious

Stranger: yas, at least a dozen

You: ahhh what are they like?

Stranger: just hopping to discord, flirting, sexting and either of us getting butthurt and blocking the other person

Stranger: heh

You: aww

Stranger: it's like, an actual pattern - fascinating

You: yeah... it kind of scares me haha

Stranger: heh

You: I think I did it once or twice and decided never again haha ^^;

Stranger: phrased it poorly, we don't necessarily get butthurt while flirting or sexting, just eventually

You: lol wow

Stranger: i command your wisdom

You: mhm so are you in college?

Stranger: nah, i'm unemployed

Stranger: how about you

You: mhm I'm 26

Stranger: i'm 24

You: grad school

Stranger: please don't laugh, but i've heard it many times and still don't know what it is

You: oh grad school?

Stranger: yas

You: graduate school?

You: school after college?

Stranger: i had no idea that exists

You: oh it's like ppl going for extra degrees

You: like a masters

You: or a law degree or med school or phd

Stranger: i see, thanks for explaining <3

You: no problem ^^

Stranger: i might actually end up there then

You: oh yeah?

Stranger: because currently my plan is to learn full stack development, then work at a startup, save up for going abroad and applying to a university where they teach computer science

You: ohh that's cool

Stranger: and since it's a generic degree thing, you can specialize in all kinds of stuff after that

You: right

You: it's cool that you're into computer science

Stranger: so i have no idea what am i really passionate about, what do i want to end up doing in life, but i thought i'll take this journey to find out

You: mhm right

Stranger: it sounds crazy exciting

Stranger: and i just needed to realize that it doesn't matter how good MOOCs are, you probably can't really learn it at home

You: MOOCs?

Stranger: massive online [something] course

Stranger: heh

You: oooh

Stranger: some universities make their curricula available online

Stranger: for free

You: oh that's cool

Stranger: yeah, it's actually sick

You: yeah I think that's great

Stranger: can you send a hug

You: sure! <3

Stranger: thank

You: *hugs* any day!

Stranger: ^_^

Stranger: gotta fucking love hugs

You: yeah they're great

You: I think skinship is important

Stranger: Come again?

You: ohh just being able to physically in contact with people

You: like hugging and touching

Stranger: ah, yes, that's so important

Stranger: i'm deprived

Stranger: someone touch me :(

You: mhm :c

You: when I was single, I used to wish that there was an easy way to sleep with people

You: without the sex

You: like just cuddling and sleeping

Stranger: ah, like literally sleeping?

You: yup!

You: I'm not that sexual tbh...

Stranger: i see

You: but I love physical intimacy

Stranger: totally valid, hope you know

You: mhm thanks

Stranger: ^_^

Stranger: don't listen to the bigoted fucks

Stranger: but then again, it's not that easy

Stranger: words hurt and shit

Stranger: :(

You: mhm yeah

Stranger: i just want to hug you

You: mhm *hugs*

Stranger: while i'm sexual af, i wouldn't mind to go platonic

You: haha ^^ I think there's nothing wrong with hugs

Stranger: hey, sure

Stranger: it always boils down to the person's needs

You: right

You: something that always worked for me is finding someone who I could just say goodmorning to every morning

Stranger: Hey, would you like to do that with me on discord?

You: preferably someone fluffy

You: mhm I'm taken right now haha sorry ^^

Stranger: i meant like friends, but i respecc

You: mhm, when I was lonely, I would find people and harass them with my cheerfulness haha ^^;

You: I'd like spam them with good morning every day

You: although with time zones it was sometimes painful to wait for them to wake up

Stranger: i see

Stranger: i'll move on, wish you the best

You: mmh

You: you too! good luck!

Stranger: <3

I'm the first male in 6 generations to not become a coal miner. Dads a preacher, grandpas a preacher. I dont line up much with them.

(6-19-20) You both like politics.

You: hiyoo

Stranger: Hello

You: what's on your mind?

Stranger: Where are you from?

You: us east

Stranger: Same here. And mostly just different environmental roll backs. You?

You: mhm bail laws

You: which environmental rollbacks?

Stranger: Ones pertaining to furthering waste dumping into my local streams

You: oh...

Stranger: Making the fish inedible

You: are they local roll backs?

Stranger: Federal

Stranger: With local gov support though

You: ah...

Stranger: Yeah. Money over clean water I guess.

You: yeah I guess

You: are there rollbacks of bills or executive orders?

Stranger: Well this was from rolling back regulations in the clean water act a few months back. But my understanding is there are about 100 other regulations pertaining to water and air quality going to be rolled back.

You: ahh okay

Stranger: So what's on your mind?

You: oh I was just reading about bail reform, nothing particularly specific

You: I'm curious about the clean water act though because I'm not that familiar with it

Stranger: Oh damn, you mentioned that, my bad.

You: did congress vote to repeal it?

You: or does like trump/epa just have the authority to change parts of it?

Stranger: I think this was done by andrew Whittaker, head of EPA. But with urging from trump.

You: ahh I see

Stranger: Former coal exec and lobbyist in charge of the EPA. Lol

Stranger: What a time to be alive

You: yeah... trump clearly just wanted to gut the organization

Stranger: Yeah. I have many disagreements with trump but his stance on the environment is the number 1 thing that irks me.

You: I sometimes get asked by people "what bad things did trump" and I'm not informed enough to list things

You: so it's helpful to know about the clean water act specifically

Stranger: Yeah. If he believed in human driven climate change I could handle a lot more of the stuff he does.

Stranger: He has said the sound from wind turbines cause cancer lol

You: mhm my brother isn't very compelled by moral/stupidity arguments, so if I can't find like legitimate policy changes that trump has done, I don't think I'll be able to convince my brother very well

You: like he doesn't care if trump says stupid stuff

Stranger: Yeah I get that. I'm from west virginia, coal country. So even many of the bad things hes done dont matter with many folks here.

Stranger: I'll give trump credit on his foreign policy and that's it. I really thought we'd be in another war by now.

You: mhm

Stranger: Is your brother a hunter?

You: nope he's like an english major

Stranger: An english major who supports trump. That's an interesting combo.

You: yeah weird, right?

You: or well, he doesn't support anybody

Stranger: But he hates one side more than the other?

You: I'm not sure if he hates either side really

You: it's more like he believes that not that many bad changes have happened under trump

You: so he's fine with him getting reelected

Stranger: Well I guess ignorance is bliss. I dont know how to change someone like that's mind.

You: yeah idk

You: I think he's kind of politically apathetic

Stranger: Besides just pointing out things hes done lol.

You: like things don't affect him so he doesn't care

Stranger: Yeah I get that. I could see how trump would be appealing to people like that. If you remove all real life ramifications trump is funny as hell.

You: mhm

You: so what does your family think?

Stranger: I'm the first male in 6 generations to not become a coal miner. Dads a preacher, grandpas a preacher. I dont line up much with them.

You: ohh ^^

Stranger: But they're good people. Sometimes it's just hard not to lose my mind when discussing politics with them.

You: ahh yeah... do they get heated as well?

Stranger: Only on certain issues that I see as irrelevant. Things like gay marriage still gets them worked up.

You: ahh are you religious at all??

Stranger: Not really. I dont know if there is a god nor do I care. I just try to not be a dick.

You: right

You: I'm kind of visualizing a huge rift in your family haha ^^;

Stranger: Haha well it's not that bad. I keep in much of what I would say for the sake of preserving relationships.

You: ahh true

You: do you have other siblings?

Stranger: I have a sister. Shes turned out like the rest of the family.

You: oh is she older or younger?

Stranger: Older by 2 years. She has a couple children, married to a coal miner, goes to church 3 times a week.

You: ahh sounds conservative ^^

You: do you still live in west virginia or did you move out?

Stranger: I live here currently but only due to covid. I'll be moving to South Korea soon to teach english.

You: ohh wow!

You: that's really cool

Stranger: I'm excited. I've known a few people to do it and they've all loved it.

You: yeah that sounds really exciting

Stranger: I hope I can tune out some of the US politics while I'm there. If that's possible

You: mhm exhausting?

Stranger: Yeah and it's my fault for continually reading about it. But I cant seem to stop.

You: mhm for me I feel like i'm on and off

You: like I can go for months without reading the news

You: I think the protests drew me back to omegle haha

Stranger: That's amazing. I've kept up with it all consistently for 10 years. I love geography so sometimes I can take a break from US politics but it all leads back to politics eventually.

Stranger: I get on here for an hour every day while visiting my grandparents.

You: oh my goodness, that's a lot haha

You: I feel like you must have seen so much on omegle lolol

Stranger: Haha. I try to match on geography but I typically only get politics.

Stranger: It's new to me. Maybe been doing this for a month

You: ahh I see

You: I was like totally thinking to myself (omegle for 10 years?!)

Stranger: Hahahaha. I tried it probably 10 years ago but that was a different time and had nothing to do with politics lol

You: mhm yeah idk what it would have been like 10 years ago

Stranger: About the same. Back then video chat had less people jacking off and more people just goofing off and talking.

You: ohh

You: I never use video chat lol

Stranger: Dont

Stranger: It's terrible now lol

You: I think I might have tried it once and it freaked me out a little lol

Stranger: Yeah definitely. There are many strange people in this world.

You: mhm or at least

You: to some extent it's kind of amazing how many people can be horny at any given time

Stranger: No kidding. It makes me feel strange because of how un-horny i am 99% of the time.

You: i know right?!

Stranger: What's peoples fascination with sex? Like it's fun and all that but people are addicted to it lol

You: mhm yeah, or at least, I would ordinarily think that there'd be better things to do than come onto omegle for it haha ^^;

Stranger: So many of my friends have just always been focused on getting laid. Just never been a top priority for me.

You: ahh I've always been curious what that kind of culture is like

Stranger: Yeah lol. Wanting to jerk off to random strangers after 100x skips...

You: yeah I know lol

Stranger: I was like that in senior year of high school but it quickly lost its appeal. Not the omegle stuff

You: mhm

You: like I've never done tinder so I've always wondered what it was like

You: I read a statistic somewhere that like 50% of college kids did it or something

Stranger: Like if a girl is attractive but has no personality or interest it's impossible for me to be attracted to them

Stranger: Yeah I've never used it either. I considered it once but you needed a facebook and I didnt want to make one.

You: ohh

You: I didn't know it needed a facebook

You: you're pretty oldschool for not having one of those either haha

Stranger: Hahaha. It's because I have too high of an opinion of myself and find it easier to critique others :p

You: lol haha

Stranger: I have one opinion of facebook and even though I know it's incredibly diverse in the way it can be used I stick to my one notion of it

Stranger: I dont have any social media besides a WhatsApp that I downloaded to keep in contact with some international students form college

You: mhmm

You: I have a facebook but it's basically unused haha

You: I'm a bit too introverted I think

Stranger: That's a good quality. The thing that frustrates me about Facebook is however shares their opinion on everything.

You: facebook the company?

Stranger: How everyone*

You: ohh okay

Stranger: No just users

Stranger: I hear so much from friends about unfriending people over political beliefs.

You: ahh wow, I didn't realize there was so much of that kind of stuff

Stranger: Idk if there is for sure. But its prevalent in my friend group lol

You: mhm I'm basically silent and don't post anything haha

You: I don't think most of my friends know my political opinions

You: idk if that's a good or bad thing though

Stranger: Both probably lol. Save yourself some unnecessary conflict but I guess bad in the sense that you should stand up for what you believe

You: mhm right

You: I'm probably a terrible activist ^^;

Stranger: Hahaha. Most activists are terrible and 99% will never see what they want come true. I might be cynical though..

You: mhm, but I mean, I live through inaction, so I feel like it's not my place to criticize since I'm not even doing anything

Stranger: I can respect that. I criticize activists a lot mostly due to the order of my priorities. I can agree with activists but still be angry that they're not rallying against what I'd consider the most important issue.

You: ahh

Stranger: It's an issue

You: yeah it's definitely easy to get drowned out

Stranger: Hopefully living abroad with make me reexamine my beliefs

Stranger: Where there are so many things going wrong at once I just feel hopeless and I believe thinking badly of others is some sort of defense mechanism or something.

You: mhmm

Stranger: But I do have to go. It was nice talking with you. Good luck in your life friend.

You: you too!

You: it was great talking

Stranger: Goodbye

You: bye!

(6-19-20) You both like nonbinary.

You: hey

Stranger: suuup

You: hiya

Stranger: how’re u?

You: I'm fine, trying to navigate a site I'm not familiar with

Stranger: this one?

You: nope, omegle is easy

You: a news site

Stranger: oh true

Stranger: pronouns?

Stranger: mine are they/them/she

You: mhm, I guess they/them

You: I kind of avoid mention of it entirely on omegle haha

Stranger: i just wanna make sure i don’t misgendered

You: sure ^^ it's good to be clear

Stranger: :)

Stranger: how old are you?

You: 26

You: you?

Stranger: oh shit

Stranger: i’m 25

Stranger: nice to meet you

Stranger: lmao

You: oh we're pretty close in age haha

You: I feel like there are many younger enbies

Stranger: yeah we are that doesn’t often happen

Stranger: yeah there are

Stranger: when did you identify?

You: mhm sometime around college probably

Stranger: i only really came into my transness a year ago

Stranger: it was odd and confronting

Stranger: but i’m glad

You: mhm I really struggled with dysphoria and things in college, and then wondered if I was binary trans for a long while

Stranger: oh jeez

Stranger: dysphoria

You: mhm

Stranger: what a mind fuck

Stranger: literally i was gonna ask if you’ve ever been dysphoric

You: ohh haha ^^

You: what about you?

Stranger: sucks ass

Stranger: yeah

Stranger: heavy

You: ahh I'm sorry

Stranger: i’m on antidepressants for it lmao

You: ohh yeah

Stranger: i’ve been coping a lot better with medication

Stranger: but i was mad suicidal for months

Stranger: probs tmi too early lmao but

Stranger: welp

You: no it's fine

You: I'm glad that medication is going well for you ^^

Stranger: thanks :) really saved my life

You: mhm

Stranger: before it, i was so fucking scared to even be awake

Stranger: with my thoughts

You: yeah that sounds so scary

Stranger: i’d shower at 4am in the morning, to avoid the sun light and having to see my reflection

Stranger: removed all the mirrors in my room

You: mmhm I hated mirrors too!!

Stranger: that kinda shit

You: yeah

Stranger: idk it’s a day to day thing

Stranger: wbu?

Stranger: i’m tapping

Stranger: *yapping

You: it can be cyclical for me too

You: when it was worst in college, it would be like every month or two, I would have a very bad week

You: and like I would just not go to any of my classes

You: and not leave my bed basically

Stranger: yeah

Stranger: same

Stranger: like literally

You: but then after a week maybe it would be better for a while

Stranger: same

Stranger: and then back to square one

You: yup and repeat

Stranger: did you ever experience panic attacks

Stranger: or just raging fits of crying

You: mh for me not really

You: crying yes, but not in public as much

Stranger: oh hell no id never let anyone see me cry lmao

You: haha

Stranger: i may be dysphoric but you ain’t gonna have that on me

You: lol

Stranger: that’s for me and these four walls

Stranger: had to use grounding techniques when i’d have an episode

You: mhmm

Stranger: they’d get so bad that my vision would fucking blur

Stranger: and then the come down is just exhaustion

Stranger: lotta sleeping and shit

You: yeah

Stranger: but you know

Stranger: it’s whatever

Stranger: lmao

You: mhm life

You: how's yours right now?

Stranger: limbo really

Stranger: moved out of home for the first time

You: ohh

You: that sounds exciting

Stranger: it’s been a week

You: how are you doing?

Stranger: i’m unemployed tho

You: mhm

Stranger: so i’m stuck at home doing nothing

Stranger: while my flat mate is at work

Stranger: um it’s ok

Stranger: lonely

You: yeah

Stranger: and quiet

You: were you close to your family?

Stranger: nope

You: so you're happy to move out?

Stranger: it was unbearable living there

You: mhm right

Stranger: oh definitely but

Stranger: i miss the noise and commotion

You: yeah I can relate to that

Stranger: it was a smallish house with 7 other people

You: oh that's a lot

Stranger: now i’m all by myself lmao

Stranger: a complete paradigm shift

You: mhmm

Stranger: it’s jarring and i’m still acclimating

You: yeah it might take some time

Stranger: how bout you?

You: I loved living away from home

You: mhm me? I'm engaged actually haha ^^

Stranger: oh wow congrats

You: thanks, I've been really lucky

Stranger: that’s incredible

You: yeah I've been with the same person the entire time

Stranger: how long?

You: mhm 8 years now actually

Stranger: y’all meet in college?

Stranger: whoa what a stint

You: nope we knew each other in high school

You: was ldr in college

Stranger: cool cool

Stranger: they nonbinary?

You: nope, she's cis

Stranger: that’s great

Stranger: that’s actually perfect

You: hm yeah? ^^

Stranger: i don’t like men lmao

Stranger: cis men anyway

You: hahaha

Stranger: my biggest failure is not being born lesbian

You: mhm I prefer guys on average rofl

You: my finace is kind of an exception lol

Stranger: oh wow

Stranger: that’s interesting

You: yeah it's very weird

You: and very complicated too

You: I guess complicated because our relationship isn't perfect either

Stranger: i’m amab and i thought i was a gay cis man for the longest time but as soon as i started reckoning with my gender i guess i became more pan than anything else

Stranger: oh true

You: ohh that's super interesting

You: I'm also amab

Stranger: yeah i was never attracted to cis women

Stranger: but like

Stranger: genderqueer peoples are hot

You: very true ^^

Stranger: trans men are as male as i’ll go lmao

Stranger: gay men are the devil

You: lol ^^

You: for me I thought I was a straight guy as a kid

You: my current fiance was my first real relationship

You: after we hit it off uhh, I felt like something was off

You: and then I had my gender mess

You: and then gradually I think I've just started to like guys more and more

Stranger: oh wow

Stranger: that’s very interesting

You: yeah my finance and I have a very... less sexual... relationship? that's probably the best way to put it

You: although we're very intimate

You: and also very interdependent

Stranger: intimacy is lovely

You: yeah it is ^^

Stranger: but do you wish y’all were more sexual?

Stranger: if that’s ok to ask lmao

You: yup it's fine to ask

You: idk, for me I think sexuality is where the trans things hit hardest for me

Stranger: how so? is it dysphoria induced?

Stranger: body things?

You: maybe

You: I think sexually I've just never really seen myself as a guy, or in a male role

You: either in fantasies or anything

Stranger: very valid

Stranger: i’m the same

You: I don't thirst for that kind of sex in any way

Stranger: i’ve had this weird complex with femininity

You: although for some reason my feelings towards guys are different

Stranger: oh ok so what is comfortable for you?

Stranger: oh true

You: mhm, I guess my fantasies lean towards guys

You: like 98%

Stranger: do you find yourself taking on more feminine/female roles?

You: yup

Stranger: in these scenarios

You: in a trans sense I'm totally straight

Stranger: SAME

Stranger: but i’ve been doing some research

Stranger: and i’ve found that it’s really explained a lot of my dysphoria and how it informs my sexual behaviours

Stranger: so, i’m only attracted to men/masculinity

You: mhm

You: yeah that might be the case for me too

Stranger: but especially sexually, because i feel inadequacy in my transness -my appearance, not being passing or femme enough

You: mhmm

You: yeah I hear you

Stranger: i tend to overcompensate

You: ahh

Stranger: really lean in to this stereotypical female sex partner trope

You: mhm ^^

Stranger: but what i didn’t realise what i was doing was performing gender

You: I think a lot of cis people perform gender as well

Stranger: the gender i never felt really entitled to, because my outward appearance didn’t “earn” it

You: mhm

Stranger: so i’m super sub in bed, never too, need to be feminised esp anatomically

Stranger: *never top

You: ahh yeah

Stranger: female pronouns (not even they them)

You: oh when you dated irl?

You: I've never been with a guy haha ^^

Stranger: i’ve never dated anyone lmao

You: ohhh

Stranger: i’ve just had sex

You: ahh kay

Stranger: a lot of bad sex lmao

You: aww

Stranger: bad sex with horrible men

You: oh :c

Stranger: who could never understand or respect my boundaries

You: that's terrible

Stranger: and i let them have me

Stranger: cos this is what “women” did

You: mhm...

Stranger: i was performing a role cos it was the only time i ever felt like i was

Stranger: being treated like a “woman”

You: yeah I hear you

Stranger: irl no ones using my correct pronouns, i get called faggot and tranny

You: :c

Stranger: but in bed, these men want my body for what it is

You: yeah, I can understand wanting to be desired

Stranger: and it’s the only access i have to femininity

You: wanting to be desired really really badly

You: mhm

Stranger: yeah

Stranger: idk i’ve stopped having sex all together

You: mhm

Stranger: and i’m doing a lot better

You: I'm really glad that you're doing better

Stranger: but i’ve never been in a relationship

Stranger: and tbh i don’t see it for me

Stranger: so there’s that lmao

You: mhm

You: I think a lot of my sense of gender was defined online... I think

Stranger: same

Stranger: it was the only place i found community

You: in the sense that there were a lot of communities that I were a part of

Stranger: yeah that’s really great to hear

You: and I presented female and fit in very well

Stranger: that’s great

You: I don't have many stereotypical guy interests to begin with, so I think that's part of it I guess

Stranger: i’m most active on twitter and follow so many other trans and nonbinary people and it’s so great

Stranger: n e i t h e r

Stranger: lmao

You: mhm there's a lot of really amazing people

Stranger: where are you from?

You: us east

Stranger: i’m from new zealand

You: there were a bunch of cis guys online that I was attracted to

Stranger: yup

Stranger: unfortunately

Stranger: lmao

Stranger: but women

You: lol haha ^^

Stranger: are so fucking beautiful

Stranger: women are art

Stranger: i stare at woman’s bodies in admiration

Stranger: with such love

Stranger: and appreciation

You: mhm

You: I think I just mostly feel envy or jealousy

Stranger: but i’m not attracted to them

Stranger: same

Stranger: it can be triggering

You: YES exactly

You: I actually don't really like looking at beautiful women

Stranger: oh true

Stranger: there bodies are just so magnificent

Stranger: the form of a women is so beautiful to me

Stranger: like, i want it for me

You: mhm

Stranger: i started waist training a month ago

Stranger: it’s odd cos i don’t actually want certain anatomical features

You: hm? certain ones like?

Stranger: like, i don’t want breasts or to have srs

You: ahh

Stranger: i want a more feminised face tho

Stranger: a narrow waist and wider hips

Stranger: bigger ass lmao

You: lol

You: I don't have a very strong sense of what I want

Stranger: i don’t exactly like having a penis

You: mhm

Stranger: i don’t even acknowledge it tbh

Stranger: i’m actually quite indifferent towards it

You: yeah

You: I'm pretty much the same

Stranger: but i do tuck when i’m out

Stranger: but that presented a lot of issues when having sex

Stranger: i was only fucking either dl chasers or gay cis men

Stranger: both of which were like, dick obsessed

You: mhmm

Stranger: and i was like um

Stranger: idk about thissssss

You: don't want it touched

Stranger: i mean they can go down on me lmao

Stranger: but like, i have to be literally laying down

Stranger: legs spread

Stranger: like i’m being eaten out

Stranger: the logistics was a lot lmao

Stranger: and a lot of them didn’t get it

You: mhm

Stranger: in fact none of them did

You: yeah...

Stranger: so i’d just flip over and take it doggy lmao that’s vulgar but true

Stranger: a lot of poor sex

You: mhm

Stranger: more seeking validation than actually enjoying sex for what it is

You: for me when I think about it, I only ever imagine doggy yeah

Stranger: i mean i see a lot for myself

Stranger: it’s just no ones willing

You: yeah

Stranger: and no one understands

Stranger: and where i am currently, i don’t have networks for other genderqueer

You: mhm

Stranger: peoples to link up with

Stranger: they’re all cis and horrible lmao

You: aww

You: is there a reason why you're not into dating?

Stranger: i wanna date a trans guy so bad

You: mhmm

Stranger: oh i don’t have an aversion to dating at all

Stranger: it’s just no ones ever wanted me outside of sex

You: mhm

Stranger: atleast not the way that i’m comfortable with

You: right

Stranger: i mean plenty of gay men have wanted to make me their “boyfriend”

Stranger: but that literally doesn’t make sense

You: yeah

Stranger: and then there are the tranny chasers

Stranger: who are more than willing to feminise me

Stranger: and treat me “womanly”

Stranger: but i’m just a fetish to them

You: they kind of scare me

Stranger: they are scary

Stranger: part of the reason i moved actually

You: oh?

Stranger: yeah we were hooking up at my old place and he wanted too much

Stranger: he was super possessive and manipulative

Stranger: always wanted to hang out with my family

Stranger: they loved him

Stranger: but he was abusive

You: oh :c

Stranger: he wanted to control literally every aspect of my life

Stranger: tried to make me move in with him

Stranger: insisted on picking me up from work etc

Stranger: so i got out and he hasn’t stopped trying to contact me it’s exhausting

You: mhm

Stranger: and my family’s upset about it too lmao

Stranger: they were like “we only just accepted that your ‘gay’ and now you’ve abandoned this perfectly good man”

Stranger: he was very charming

Stranger: most manipulators/abusers are

You: mhm it sounds difficult

Stranger: it’s odd

Stranger: i’m doing much better now

Stranger: but he’s a scary man

You: mhm I think you're doing the right thing

Stranger: yeah he was super manipulative

Stranger: took out a second mortgage to pay for my surgeries

You: oh my goodness....

Stranger: offered at least

Stranger: in exchange for my freedom

Stranger: it was surreal he literally wanted me to be his housewife

Stranger: barefooted in the kitchen making him dinner

You: mhm..............

Stranger: he’d ramble on about it all the time

You: that's terrifyin

Stranger: like it was a mutual dream of ours

Stranger: so i left

You: yeah

Stranger: and left my job that he knew of

You: that's so scary

Stranger: yeah but i’ve got some pretty scary friends too lmao

Stranger: so i’m well supported

You: mhm I'm glad you have a good support group

You: that's really important

Stranger: yeah i emptied out my savings moving here and my friends have taken care of everything else without hesitation

Stranger: it’s been so amazing

Stranger: they’ve been amazing

You: yeah thats great

Stranger: how’s your fiancé?

You: she's well ^^

You: asleep actaully

Stranger: that’s great that y’all have each other

Stranger: does she understand your queerness?

You: yup, I think we keep each other sane

You: well enough ^^

Stranger: as much as cis people can

Stranger: my flat mate is a cis bi woman

Stranger: my best friend

You: she's very open and loves me anyway

You: aww that's great

Stranger: that’s lovely

Stranger: yeah she’s a fantastic ally

Stranger: but is completely conscious of her lack of understanding of my transness

You: I don't openly present as "nonbinary" in public, but at home I where whatever I want

You: *wear

Stranger: that’s understandable

Stranger: i’ve been very femme very publicly for a few years

You: mhmm

Stranger: but to the layman eye, i’m either a “fag” or a “tranny”

You: right

You: I think internally it's possible that I see myself as kind of a butch girl or butch agender or something

Stranger: which i kinda find solace in the latter

You: right

Stranger: that’s so interesting

Stranger: gender is so complex

You: I don't really express or perform very feminine

Stranger: and how it intersects with sexuality

Stranger: oh wow

You: although my interests are kind of feminine

You: and I basically see myself as female sexually I guess

You: I think it's a mixture of those things that I don't really see myself as particularly binary trans

You: that and because transitioning scares me a little

Stranger: that makes a lot of sense

Stranger: that’s valid

Stranger: i don’t see myself as binary trans either

Stranger: but it’s those moments of doubt that really puzzle me

You: that said if I had been born a girl, I think I would have absolutely zero complaints lol

Stranger: right?!

You: yeah lol

You: I think I would be slightly tomboyish/masc but otherwise things would be totally fine

Stranger: so if we were to simplify your ideal gender, not to be reductive, an strictly operating within the narrow parameters of gender

Stranger: you’d be a afab butch?

You: mhm pretty much

You: well, idk about very butch or anything

You: I don't have an extremely strong attachment to femininity

You: but I'm not really that masculine either

You: I kind of avoid features of both

Stranger: that’s valid

Stranger: i feel like my gender is quite fluid

You: there are times when I'm crushing over a guy that the feminine parts just randomly get exaggerated subconsciously though

Stranger: yeah i think that’s our performative gender compulsion being triggered lmao

Stranger: i get that completely

You: mhm, or maybe I just really want him to like me

You: idk

Stranger: no yeah that’s it

Stranger: i slip into this overtly femme character

You: I get a little teasing

Stranger: cos that’s what my lizard brain thinks men want

Stranger: a “woman”

You: mhm

You: yeah I think there are other aspects of my identity that take a big role on the way I perceive myself

You: like my independence is a big part of my identity

You: and various other things

Stranger: oh true

Stranger: it’s all very interesting

Stranger: and confusing and exhausting

You: yeah haha

Stranger: and complex

You: I feel like we can analyze ourselves forever

Stranger: so complex and ever changing

You: trying to explain ouselves

Stranger: that’s all i ever do these days lmao

You: oh lol

You: for me I haven't thought about it as much lately haha

Stranger: that’s great

Stranger: i feel like that’s healthy

You: I think I've gotten to a much more comfortable place in recent years

Stranger: just existing as you are

Stranger: that’s great

Stranger: age tends to do that i feel

You: mhm, and just acceptance of myself I think

Stranger: i mean i’m only just starting to enter that

Stranger: but it’s nice

You: I have girl clothes, and I don't think twice anymore if I just decide to wear something at home

You: it's basically kind of just my clothes now

You: although I wouldn't wear it outside

Stranger: that’s understandable

Stranger: and it’s nice

Stranger: i always edit myself before i leave the house

Stranger: which wig to wear what shoes

You: mhm, and just seeing myself as not-male has helped me too I think

Stranger: it’s liberating

You: mhm

Stranger: riding yourself of the cis male tag

Stranger: and just living as you are in that very moment

You: and being sure that the feminine parts of me are real ^^

You: I think that's a major difference between me now and me years ago

You: the acceptance really, I think

Stranger: yeah that’s so true

Stranger: i think genderfluidity is so valid

You: like I had so much doubt about so many things before

You: when the doubt went away, a lot of things got better

Stranger: that’s amazing i’m so happy for you

You: I'm amazed by how much you've discovered yourself in a relatively short time haha ^^

You: since you mentioned that you only came into your transness a year or so ago

Stranger: yeah?

You: mhm for me it took sooooo long

Stranger: well when i say came into it

Stranger: i’ve always felt lost

You: mhm right

Stranger: never really identifying with being a gay man

Stranger: i always thought the gay men around them were quite monolithic

Stranger: around me*

Stranger: gravitating towards a structure of there queerness

Stranger: that i never quite fit

You: right

Stranger: and then i started to examine my gender rather than my sexuality

Stranger: and that’s when i settled on nonbinary

Stranger: cos it’s quite a flexible term that facilitates gender fluidity and freedom

You: ^^

You: I'm happy for you that it seems like things are coming together

Stranger: yeah it’s about damn time lmaooooo

You: haha yeah

Stranger: it’s been a long journey

You: mhm

Stranger: but i feel like i can finally see myself being happy and uninhibited

You: mhm that's great

Stranger: and whether or not that vision includes a partner or not

Stranger: for the first time in my life

Stranger: doesn’t concern me

You: mhm

Stranger: i’m absolutely enough as i am whoever i am in that very moment

Stranger: and that’s enough for me :)

You: ^^ and that is enough!

Stranger: :)))))) yeah it’s so nice to be able to say that

You: *nods*

You: it's 3 am for me haha

You: I think I will go to bed

Stranger: oh jeez that sounds like a good idea lmao

Stranger: it was lovely chatting :)

You: it was fabulous talking to you ^^

You: I wish you all the wonderful things in the world!

Stranger: likewise have a good rest

Stranger: :)

You: goodnight!

Stranger: bye :)
