probs more of a question for Irish priests but how accurate is father ted

so for context I don’t know if I’d consider myself a hippie so I’m kinda asking from an outside perspective I suppose

so I know (or at least think I know lol) that a part of hippie culture is live and let live and drugs and stuff and being against drug prohibition. But isnt a lot of drug prohibition to protect people from getting hurt? Like with some drugs they can be really addicting and can ruin peoples lives and kill them? im wondering what your opinions on that are ? if you know what I mean .

why do people chew with their mouth open, smack, slurp, etc? WHY??? its basic table manners! never mind misophonia it should be common sense not to do that. it’s gross. especially in public. didn't their parents say to them ever “close your mouth at the dinner table” etc!? it’s basic manners but we’re the crazy ones? why do they do it? genuinely???

my best friend is a very loud chewer. even my ma who thinks my fear of mouth noises (I’m hesitant to say misophonia as I’m not diagnosed) is stupid says her chewing is disgusting . I know her mother can’t eat at the table with her. so basically I always have sleepovers with her and it’s so hard to listen to her. she’s a mouth breather , when she chews , she breathes loudly while smacking with every chew and consent close her mouth (which I think Misophonia or not everyone should close their mouth when chewing . basic manners .)

I adore her but it’s so hard to listen to. I can’t wear headphones because then we can’t talk . I sit as far as i can from her without being rude.

please give advice before I have a mental breakdown

so sorry if I can’t post here. I don’t have diagnosed Misophonia because my ma thinks it’s hilarious that I clearly need mental help and she’s just like ”haha I’m not bothered to send you to therapy.” but I’m pretty sure I have it or atleast a severe fear of specially mouth noises

anyways I really hate that no one takes it seriously. Like whenever I try to explain my fear of mouth noises usually people just laugh or assume I’m just big on manners. My parents get annoyed about it. like I tried to explain to my ma today cause I was having a bad day and kinda needed to vent a bit and she just said “I can’t wait to see how you’ll cope in the real world“ when I never bother anyone about my fear other than my dad who does it on purpose to upset me. like you would never say anything like that to a person with a “proper” fear like a fear of dogs. You wouldn’t say “wait for the real world” to a person scared of dogs. you wouldn’t shove a dog on their face to be funny. You wouldn’t laugh at their fear. So why is it ok to do that to people with Misophonia? It’s so miserable having to sit there and practically be tortured by these nosies and not say anything so you don’t seem rude and then people disrespect you. And then they say shit like “oh well people can’t help mouth noises“ I KNOW!!! i know it’s irrational I CANT HELP IT EITHER!!! I’m sososososo tired of this. I’m not saying everyone has to give a fuck but have some basic empathy

I was raised somewhat Christian . my mam is Catholic but not the kind that reads the bible or believes in hell or goes to church. I think my dad is the same not sure tbh. but I became very Christian because of seeing videos on TikTok about like hell and stuff. for years I lived in constant fear of hell and the return of Christ and I admit I did fall to sins but I would get panicked whenever i did. in short it caused me a lot of mental issues like sh and anxiety. then I got to a point where id doubt god and then panic about doubting . but eventually a year ago I couldn’t take it anymore and admitted to myself I didn’t believe . it was honestly really hard because even though he isn’t all loving God is portrayed as an all loving father . I converted to Irish paganism but recently realised I don’t believe in anything.

i feel stupid for still sometimes being terrified of like what if I’m wrong?? sometimes I panic over sinning but realise I don’t believe . my main fear is that god is real and I’m going to hell. does anyone else feel like this? and how do you cope?

hi! Me and my friend want to do a duolouge for drama and we are trying to find one with Sherlock and Watson or Sherlock and moriarty . does anyone know how to find one?

this might sound woke but IMO it’s insane that in this day and age there’s no women on the Artemis 3 crew. there was definitely women qualified for it. also comments pointing this out on tiktok on the ESA account get put in the filtered section.

I just finished project Hail Mary and I loved it mainly because

1. Grace was funny and SO RELATABLE 

2. The science was explained well imo

 

So does anyone have any book recs like it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
