okay but the way I now want to make a ridiculous and niche in/out list for 2024 (spoiler: bruises are out for 2024, I've had too many already, let me walk into things and know no consequences)

Today, Australian women are allowed to remain in their government jobs after they marry (since 1966), people can leave a marriage freely (since 1975) and homosexuality is no longer a crime (since 1984 in NSW). Perhaps one day, situations like mine will be just another historical curiosity, a simple case of good old-fashioned discrimination.

In his book, Harris responded to what he perceived as a fatal flaw in mainstream society's approach to dating:

The Bible teaches that if we truly trust in Jesus Christ, we die to our old way of living. And we can no longer live for ourselves – we now live for God and for the good of others. Because of that, relationships with the opposite sex can no longer be about 'having a good time' or 'learning what I want in a relationship'.

MANIFESTING

[oh-dear-so-queer]

What I hadn't foreseen was that shifting my stance on homosexuality would destabilise other beliefs holding my worldview together. I learned that there are sound reasons to assert that the God of Christian tradition is okay with the gays, but I came to believe this isn't the point that most urgently needs to be made. The enmity between Christianity and homosexuality would cease to be an issue – perhaps would never have surfaced in the first place – if it weren't for fundamentalists' absolutism about the Bible.

Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?

Everybody, apparently: No?
