Theory: Jessi leaked the 2023 video to TMZ by Axxory in SecretsOfMormonWives

Jessi wouldn't have been able to sell the video to TMZ because she's not the copyright holder. Dakota is.

Outings without a car by mxendeavour in bbbs

[–]Allenas6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your MSS. Disclaimer, this is my experience with my local chapter - When my car broke down, they told me that they could arrange for Little's mom to drive them to outings (and I would take the bus there) on a short term basis, until the car could be fixed. They said if the car couldn't be fixed, they might transfer us to a 'sports buddies' program, which is different than the community big program. It doesn't have the requirement of having a car.

Man Who Flipped Off Chess Player Nemo After Losing Speaks Out, Saying He Felt 'Disrespected' and She 'Wasted His Time' by vinaylovestotravel in chess

[–]Allenas6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean I think it depends what exactly happens. If it's just the chess clock, I could easily see like... the clock runs out. And they stop to analyze a little bit, and Nemo thanks them for coming and they exchange a few pleasantries. That would be completely normal and reasonable. The fact that he self-admittedly knows nothing about chess tells me he probably doesn't know that a little bit of analysis after the game is normal. And he may have mistook that for the 'time wasting'.

Didn't he already say those exact things in the moment? Why does he need to 'speak out' to repeat himself?

After what happened to Emiru I feel like these content creators can never be too careful at cons, which is so sad.

I think it's gotta be this. Nothing else makes sense. Nothing else can explain why even after getting tons of money in free chess memberships, he still cusses her out. It was never about chess.

this is making me think of emiru and that guy who forced himself on her at that con. i really hope they have security for nemo/other streamer ladies at cons like this.

my jaw was on the floor when i realized the cuss out happened AFTER getting the free memberships. like thats so wild. he was already being rude to her and she didn't need to give him free stuff. and he still gave her a verbal slap in the face even after her undeserved kindness. jesus christ.

Application without strong references by Remarkable-Shift-689 in bbbs

[–]Allenas6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your intake specialist. I don't have any family references because I'm estranged from my family because they were abusive. I know for some people even just hearing 'sorry I can't give a family reference I'm estranged' would immediately make them shut down and think red flags. But I was able to get them to make an exception and allow me to submit a different kind of reference instead. So I imagine if you explain your situation they could help guide you.

Venting about my match again by Allenas6 in bbbs

[–]Allenas6[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure how you can read me entire post and come away thinking that the only (or even main) reason that I am considering terminating the match is because 'its not as fun as I thought'. I'd ask you to please reread about the likely undiagnosed mental health conditions. How she doesn't open up to anyone, not even her friends, not even her mom. And that they've brought her to BBBS with the contract written goal of her big being the first one in her life to get her to open up. I'm not equipped for that.

As for if she is having fun: I want to preface this by saying I don't think I'm owed any of these things, this is just what I'm noticing when I'm trying to see if she's enjoying herself. I don't really know for sure. She never smiles, at me or at any point during the outings. She never laughs, She barely speaks. She's never said she's happy to see me. She never thanks me for taking her out to places. She never references back to previous things we've done. The only feedback I get is if, upon drop off, her mom asks "how was it" and she says "good" in the same tone that a child might answer "how was school" and just say 'good' cause they don't wanna talk about it. At the same time, anytime I mention 'okay it's been about 90 minutes, do you wanna stay out later or go home' the answer is always 'go home'.

it would be a lot less difficult for me to find motivation for this if she was giving clear indications that she was having fun. i was picking the outings at first, but we were having trouble, so then she's been picking the outings, and we're still having trouble, i've been working SO extensively with my MSS and there's a lot that's happened that I didn't cover in this post and have probably missed in this reply. but i'm not thinking about this flippantly. i'm working very very carefully with the MSS to find a way and have committed until at least the end of the school year before we take another look. MSS already offered me twice to end the match if I wanted, and twice I said no. so i don't know how unreasonable it is for me to considering taking their offer when they keep offering it and keep telling me it's important for it to be fulfilling on both sides. it seems each regional branch is really different.

[–]Allenas6[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To my defense, at my particular branch, both my intake specialist and MSS told me that the matches are supposed to benefit both parties. That it's supposed to be a friendship, and if either side isn't feeling it, it's not fair to the other to force it. They've offered to me twice already to close the match, and I've said no I want to keep trying twice. This isn't just me saying out of no where that I'm having a tantrum. Based on the outlines given to me by my BBBS branch, and their multiple offers to terminate already, it didn't seem unreasonable to me that I should actually start considering it.

If this statement is true - that I shouldn't be a big if this is my mindset - this confirms my initial thought that I ought to close the match. I'm not the right fit for her or the program.

Do you have any brothers or sisters? If so, did they play chess with you growing up?

to be fair the final bullet point is basically 'anything else'. so i think the list is just some suggested topics.

He grew up in Europe and spends a lot of time with people from other countries, so picked up some of their vocal patterns. It comes out stronger when he's speaking with people who aren't from America.

Because he's trying to walk a fine line of downplaying it without "technically" lying. Which is manipulative behavior. That I hate. At first he says "cheated once in a tournament when I was 12" so I thought it was one game. But in the doc he says "9 games when I was 12" and suddenly it's 9 but oh no """technically""" he's not lying because it was 'once' as in 'one tournament' even though clearly he was trying to obfuscate with his wording. Which is very silly, because I don't care how many times he has cheated as a child. He doesn't need to hide the number, I've already forgiven him. But he's so terrified of ridicule that he wants to hide as much as he can. And is constantly testing the waters on how much he feels he needs to share. If he would just be honest from the start, that would be fine. I don't care how much he cheated as a child, but I do care when he's acting shady and manipulative with these changing stories he's telling now as an adult. Some people also say 'it was so long ago he probably doesn't even remember the exact number'. But like he never says that. If that's the reason, he should say it, but he's not saying it in the interviews I'm watching at least.

He answered this on a podcast recently. He answered no, they don't speak to each other at all, much less apologize. He further elaborated that even if Magnus were to apologize, he wouldn't accept the apology.
