    Is it weird that the most unrelatable thing here for me is that SongeBob existed when anon was in high school?

    Edit: a word

          Hmmm with this we can deduce that SpongeBob was created sometime after 40 year olds went to highschool but before 30 year olds went to highschool 🤔

          SpongeBob first aired in 1999, so if you were born '81 or later, it was probably on when you were in high school. But yeah if you’re in your mid-late 40s you would have just missed it.

      1999 grandpa. Anyone born after 1981 will have had the option of SpongeBob. That having been said it wasn’t until the mid to late 2010s that I remember seeing grown ass adults obsessed with, and spouting lines from, a children’s cartoon from 1999. So mostly 90s kids.

      If you don’t mind me asking, when were you in high school?

      I was in high school in the late 2010s, in a red county in a red state, and there were a few openly queer ppl in my grade who were never bullied throughout high school.

      I think it was because allies outnumbered the homophobes/transphobes and bullies only punch down, not up.

      I was in my countries equivalent in the late '00s and early '10s, and it … really wasn’t. So I’d say that’s rather time and place dependent.

        That’s fair I graduated in 06 on a military base in England. Partly why it was so fun cause the faculty had no clue what to do with me.

          Not anything super interesting at mine, basically everyone there was a Christian nationalist Fox News Republican and I got sick of being exclusively around people who were constantly promoting stuff that would criminalize and erase people like myself and didn’t give a shit about anyone outside of their immediate community. For LGB it was a “love the sinner hate the sin” mindset though so it could have been a lot worse (although it’s still considered basically the worst sin you can possibly commit aside from murder and worthy of the death penalty). For T though the environment was more hostile, I heard there was one person who came out as trans and was quickly expelled. Aside from that they taught stupid shit like dinosaurs still exist and the government is hiding them from us and dragons exist as well. Glad to be out of that shithole.

            Glad you got out friend. Thanks for sharing. I’m sure I would have had a harder time if I went to high school in America

            Yeah, I always had trouble with known adulterers in my church tut tutting about homosexuality. It’s the same rule!

    This is not gay. A cock was touched, even stroked, but there is no mention of the soap. Did it fell? Did someone pick it up?

        Yeah, I’d say so. At 22 the human brain isn’t even fully developed. Tim and his wife are children acting out some theatrics inculcated by their (almost always) religious community. Then again, I live in an American state that embraces education and critical thinking, so my assumption is ol Tim is from Utah, or some other regressive theocratic place where they’d rather nip autonomy in the bud and tether young people to a prescribed way of life that hasn’t otherwise existed outside of these antideluvian pockets for the last 70 years.

        But I’m probably reading too much into it.

          This reads like a 16 year old posting a pseudo intellectual argument so they can feel smart.

          this sounds kind of… completely crazy to be honest

          also, isn’t the human brain fully developed in most people by the age of 21? or it’s 25, i dont remember. but even if it is 25, 22 is really close. i see no problem in marrying at that age
