26:21 virtual friends I can agree the word friend isn’t the best choice but having a community even though it’s virtual is something that I consider very important so imo you’re wrong about it doesn’t matter. I know I’m not my most humble self in this comment but I do have my reasons to suggest that virtual friends are important, I do agree that whatever friendship one has it has to be non transactional, = friends/families should never have thoughts about “I only like this person for what I can get from them, that’s a no go for me! And that’s why I find it difficult to find real people to be friends with!
21:48 how about people in general try to make peace with themselves?
Just a hypothetical statement that arose in this split second as he said smt along the lines of *”We want love.”* & I agree

I need some friends
Religion is weird. When my daughter was born her Italian grandparents offered to rent their son and I a small old trailer on their rural land so we could get out of the city. One hitch: I had to agree to raise my daughter Catholic even though I was a practicing Unitarian and her father was an atheist. Fresh country air sounded better for my baby than where we were, so when they gave me a contract to sign, I did. My daughter spent every other weekend with her father, after we divorced when she was 3, because he nearly beat me to death and then went to prison for another crime he'd committed before we met.
I honestly had no idea how violent he would become after our baby was born and I was trapped in the backwoods with no car, friends or family nearby. But I kept true to my word and figured some Catholicism wouldn't hurt the child and still permitted her grandparents to take her to mass after our divorce and my relocation to an island. The law insisted that my daughter got bi-weekly weekend visits with her father. He paid NO child support. That was also OK with the law. I would not break the law and I financially supported her on my own. I was the one person who was always there for her. Every. Single. Day.
She was a great kid, got straight As in school and I figured she was doing quite well until one day, just before she turned 18, she suddenly snapped. My "good Catholic" daughter turned on me with so much hatred and scorn that I really couldn't understand what was happening. She screamed "I don't want to end up like YOU!" one day and disappeared. That was 25 years ago. Haven't seen her since. I was never aware of how much misogynist, anti-mother brainwashing was involved in her "religious training" until that awful day. She still hates me. She has decided that I never existed at all. It's likely I shall never see her again.
That's the only kind of Catholicism I know. I am NOT a fan of Catholicism. Hypocrisy and sadism are baked into it. I deeply regret allowing Catholics to get their hands on my only daughter now. If YOU have that choice, don't do it. No amount of fresh country air in a rented trailer during infancy can prevent the rot of misogyny and mother-hatred from killing your own family. Women are less than nothing in the Catholic Church. They diligently train girls to despise their mothers. Never forget that.
Wow! Should I be afraid for my adopted grandkids? They've been being raised in a super catholic household.
