That’s a day negative 10 deal breaker. I can be casual friends with a “witch”, but being in a relationship means I have to pretend I believe that stuff, and no one can keep up an act that long.
It’s as fake as any religion. I mean it is kinda one, I think. I have very little awareness of it, I’m pretty sure witches and wiccans are different, but it’s all beyond baloney, so I don’t really care about the subtleties.
I mean… You don’t have to believe someone else’s beliefs to be in a relationship with them. It happens all the time. I work with a “witch” and she’s like every other normal religious person. Wears a necklace, has a thing on her door, goes to work…
You don’t have to pretend anything, I know quite a few couples where one partner is an atheist and the other one is a believer.
But how can you respect someone who legitimately believes in magic?
they’re also human
Love is a chemical process, you can’t really choose who you fall in love with. There are all kind of relationships, not all are based on respect.
Attraction is a chemical process, long term relationships without respect are doomed to failure
Don’t forget that believing in a reality beyond the senses is a religion too. All atheists are solipsists.
I am an atheist and I am not solipsistic, therefore not all atheists are solipsistic.
I don’t believe you’re an atheist, because you believe in reality. That’s religious thinking.
If you want to believe that belief in external reality to your senses requires a similar leap of faith that belief in unprovably extant supreme beings requires that’s fine, but that’s not what the word atheist means. That’s not how people use it. They don’t use it to refer to people who refuse to believe in things requiring faith (as in believing in something that can’t be proven). It is used to refer to people who don’t believe in gods.
Reality is god to realists. That’s what they believe in. They worship it, they obey it, they demand others have the same respect for it. It’s theism.
No.
Yes.
What happened to sexy sci fi?
People realized they could just watch porn
There’s an old Hollywood dictum; shoot for X, cut for R.
Everyone is beautiful and no one is horny:
Interesting take. I’d guess it’s pure commercialism. Deadpool went in knowing it was going to be R-rated, and they broke out the strap on. Most of the movies the article mentions are going for PG-13 so they can sell more toys. That’s my take.
PG13 movies from the 80-90 had sensuality too. They were not so sterile.
Anyway, best example of this phenomenon that I can think of is Casino Royale vs No Time To Die. There’s chemistry and sexual tension between Bond and Vesper since the moment they meet.
Fast forward 15 years and in NTTD Daniel Craig and Lea Seydoux have nothing at all. Even though they supposedly have a past and apparently a daughter too. The relationship feels, for the lack of better word, clinical. Like just another checkbox to be ticked.
Thinking about it, you’re correct. The last movie I can think of with real heat is ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ and that’s from early 2000s.
No one is horny? Speak for yourselves, I’m horny all the time lol
I get it tho, movies don’t have characters with any libido.
And, everyone is beautiful? Speak for yourselves there too
The folks responsible for the sexy costumes, Roddenberry and Theiss, died in 1991 and 1992, respectively.

The sexiness of an outfit is directly proportional to the perceived possibility that a vital piece of it might fall off.
This basic theory underwrites Stripperiffic clothing, Impossibly Cool Clothes, and pretty much anything else you stick characters into: what makes clothing sexy is the potential for a catastrophic Wardrobe Malfunction. The Trope Namer is William Ware Theiss, costume designer on Star Trek: The Original Series, who first codified the concept.
…
Though Theiss was a costume designer, according to Inside Star Trek: The Real Story by Herb Solow and Robert Justman, most of the costumes — following this theory — were actually somewhat more modest before being “improved” by Gene Roddenberry.
If you have to ask, you’ve probably got something that’s a deal breaker for the witch
Like not believing in fantasy?
If you don’t believe in fantasy then your life must be very boring
I can find interesting things in my life without resorting to delusion
Nope. You may want to read the real-life accounts of the salem witch trials. Just because they weren’t actual witches didn’t mean they weren’t killed for being witches.
Really depends on her definition of being a witch. For the most part, hell yeah, I’m on board.
I couldn’t possibly pretend to respect someone that thinks they can do magic and is almost certainly into homeopathy and astrology for very long, but you do you.
Now, the girls who are like “I just want to make conservative Christians mad,” that’s something to explore.
When you realise that’s his idea of formal wear.
They better hurry up and remake this so Lady Gaga can get the part.
Don’t you mean Sandwich?
Because of the aluminium foil…
I’m going to allow this
As a ceremonial magician myself, I see this as a plus.
This is a win for me, spell me up mommy.

Also, that’s a really cute outfit.
Can we normalize retro futuristic space outfits?
As in an esoteric freak? Then yeah, dealbreaker.
anyone can be a witch of the choose to
I have yet to see a witch call someone a slur or cut me off in traffic so it’s all good
Fuck around and find out, homey.
