I enjoyed reading your Tera history even if I know only a little about it. Very interesting regardless!

As we say in Asia, marriage isn't between individuals. You marry the entire family.

Curious how despite the both of us being Slavic (although from very distantly related groups), in Russia a "traditional" 21st century wedding is mostly all about the bride: the guests, the decor, the theme, everything is decided by her with some tips from the family. The thing that happened on your sister's friend's wedding would weird out both the "traditional" and the "progressive" alike here.

it made me think about one of my cousins who had one of these pompous "traditional" weddings back in the late 00s and it was all about her husband's family and friends. they both married in a registrar and in a church which was really stupid as 10 years later they separated because he was fucking horrible towards her

catholic marriage is a hell, as getting a divorce, well getting it anulled is tedious process to go through. i have someone going through it and it's a nightmare, even after having strong evidence in canonical court and being separated for years already

@22yk01 so true, i have no idea how people manage to do a 180 that fast, and i cant help but wonder if theyre happy or just doing it because "it's the natural thing to do at my age" etc

@murid yea true, but you know registrars office marriage are not at all uncommon here despite the country being catholic, yet it feels like younger gens are starting to fall into the tradcath blackhole because of our general rise of ultra nationalism etc. i feel like it all kind of stems from that. my friend told me there were some literal sieg hiel tier moments at that other wedding i mentioned. forgot to say that

@saint-images you know i thought that's how it was here as well, but i guess i was wrong lmao. often the groom will be too shy to go against his families wishes so they end up dominating. and its always the more conservative side that wins funnily enough

It's common to priests call a bride a broodmare in your country? LOL wth, I didn't went to many weddings in my life but I know that this is offensive (at least in my country).

It totally depends on the priest and what they decide to say, but this one said something along the lines of "now that you joined in this union you must fulfill your wifely duties and make children and guard the home" etc. it sounds more uh.. raw in my language haha

When I was getting married in the registrar's office the lady marrying us read an extremely nice text that was completely based on equality, partnership and mutual respect - I honestly thought that church weddings werent much different.

Oh and one last thing, young couples have to attend "sex education" church classes before getting married on which they just throw church propaganda at you lmao. It's really demeaning

!! Reading things like this, I am glad that I am an assertive woman and my husband respects and loves me for it. My mother in law tried to take control of our very non-traditional wedding and I told her to back off, if she wanted to have another wedding, she could get re-married herself. She made some rude comment to my husband (her son, who she disrespects all the time) about us eventually getting divorced...

I literally never make posts here but this got me angry enough - divsel keeps following and unfollowing me like a bot every once in a while. He does the same with liking posts as well but I guess he noticed it's too obvious. Super annoying, imagine if we all did that, there wouldn't be much use for follows and likes anymore, now would there? Sick of this spammy behavior...

Unlike Federi and that mentally unstable teenager he does have a site with substance and isn't harassing anyone, so I don't think he should be "banned" but I wish using (what I think is) a script wouldn't be allowed here. Go back to Mastodon or Tumblr if you want to farm followers for visibility this bad.

He's definitely using a script. He's been doing the cycle with me for weeks, and even though I've blocked him it continues. I wish he'd fuck off.

in his latest post he laments the presence of social media features in neocities, the exact features he is abusing. he also is a self-professed "true nihilist", so maybe this is all some elaborate scheme to emphasize the internal contradictions of neocities and hasten its collapse

@saddleblasters @moonview yeah it seems hes generally disheartened by neocities but like come on bro you dont have to make it worse for those of us that enjoy the limited social features it does have. tbh if likes and follows got turned off tomorrow id survive just fine but as it is i like follows as a passive way of finding new interesting sites without my usual last updated trawling

He's being incredibly rude doing this to get attention on a web hosting platform. I usually say if you want more eyes on your site make a better site. But his site's already decent, so what's his deal??

Blocking him does nothing either, I know of someone who has him blocked because of this and his script still targets their profile.

I wish that blocking someone on here meant they couldn't re-follow you. It surprises me that it doesn't work that way.

A trick I learned out of curiosity: if you unblock him, then reblock, it removes him again from your followers. You have to do this manually each time. It's only a temporary trick until he runs the script again but it makes me feel better to remove his name lol.

"Her" was mid on release, I can only imagine how annoying it must be in current year... I'm sorry it disappointed you so much!!! I at least love the score, Aphex Twin did some nice piano stuff... I hope your robot vacuum performs well and that your life stays at just the right level of anxiety for you <3 Unironically very aspirational heh

Honestly I don't understand what I was so hyped for, I don't even like spike jonze's movies generally, he never struck a chord with me. Oh wow I didn't know aphex twin did the score! And thank you heh Throughout recent years I had to come to terms with the fact that life's anxieties will be unavoidable..

robot vaccums are mid depending which one you got. my parents got a tefal one first which was incredibly mid and then they got a roomba but they gave it away to someone as they didn't want to use the app though i heard people like them. a least they got them for free from some bonus program that suppliers in our industry have. for me it would be a cordless vaccum
