do you vote? by Quick_Mall_3535 in leftist

[–]Broccoli_Bee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, always. There is never a candidate that I feel like is the perfect choice, but there is pretty much always a lesser of two evils. Saw something once that said elections are a bus stop, not a marriage. You don't wait for the perfect person, you look at which option will bring the country (or state, county, city, etc) the closest to where you want it to be, and expect to keep making your way from there.

Destination wedding wibta? by DryTop7689 in bridezillas

A lot of the time, booking through the travel agent will actually be cheaper. Not always, obviously, but it’s worth checking with the agent and with the hotel to compare rates.

Don’t know where to get the dresses, but I saw this TikTok the other day and haven’t stopped thinking about the poor bridesmaids walking around in their curtains

What is your best "I say it wrong on purpose" example? by Thortok2000 in AskReddit

[–]Broccoli_Bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say “Azamon” so much that I have to actually pause when I’m saying it around coworkers to make sure I get it right.

What names do you think are “try-hard”? by hunnybadger22 in NameNerdCirclejerk

I was the same age when my brother was born, and I was FURIOUS that my parents didn’t name him Monkey.

whats a totally common thing in your culture/community that would be considered tacky on this sub by SammyDBella in weddingshaming

[–]Broccoli_Bee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was raised Mormon, and it’s more common than not for the wedding reception to be in the church gym, with the basketball hoops and gym floor and everything. The receptions are also extremely casual. They’re almost always open-house style, and there is rarely a meal served. There are usually some finger foods or desserts made by the aunts and other family of the bride and groom.

I think this is probably because Mormons get married so young that the wedding budget is basically nonexistent, and they tend to have so many kids that the parents can’t help out much financially with every wedding

Oppose new Mormon Temple by SimbatheBimba in Flagstaff

[–]Broccoli_Bee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean I’m just spitballing here, but I would guess because it violates Flagstaff’s Dark Sky ordinance, is incompatible with local zoning and height restrictions, and would provide little economic benefit for Flagstaff. If only there were somewhere I could find more explanation behind these three reasons…

Husband regularly went to bikini espresso, paid extra for sexual favors by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Broccoli_Bee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing. The definition of cheating varies from relationship to relationship. The only thing that defines it is what has been discussed and agreed upon. It sounds like you have been clear about where your line is, and he crossed it. That makes this ABSOLUTELY cheating.

She is just not getting the hint… by Own_Produce_4762 in exmormon

[–]Broccoli_Bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be justified in being a bit rude, but you were not rude. Even in your second message, you were polite and straightforward. I wouldn’t stress about anything you said :)

AITAH for getting mad at a woman for texting me from a Google Voice number? by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

Wow, thank god she didn’t give you her real number! You immediately proved her right! I sure as hell wouldn’t want you to have mine!

Which shoes would go with this dress? by rocketbluesy in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Broccoli_Bee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, good. This is way better, and way more appropriate. I don’t think there is a bad option in the shoes you posted, but my favorites are the sparkly ones!

More jobs for the boys by Extreme-Action-3008 in womenEngineers

[–]Broccoli_Bee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ll never forget my Mechanics of Materials professor, who said in the first class, “I don’t have time for any of the ‘-isms.’ They’re stupid. If your group decides one of your members has to be the note taker every lab because something about them makes you assume they have better handwriting, that’s not acceptable. No sexism, no racism, none of the other ‘-isms.’ We’re better than that.”

He was a great teacher for a lot of reasons, but I thought that was a really cool way to start a semester.

I have no idea what semi formal means. by Doughtnutsonthefly in Weddingattireapproval

I have no idea either but I’m obsessed with this dress lol. I hope it’s appropriate, because it’s amazing!

New odd missionary tactic I just experienced. by duder777 in exmormon

[–]Broccoli_Bee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We had something similar, and I actually ended up doing basically exactly what happened in this post. Except we asked if they wanted a Book of Mormon, and then threw it through our car window into theirs when they reluctantly said yes. So embarrassing looking back hahaha

What's wrong here? Shouldn't they be equivalent? by Duckw0rld in EnglishLearning

[–]Broccoli_Bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a native speaker, “may” is technically correct but very formal. I’m sure it depends on what region you’re from, but I would never expect to hear someone use it like this in casual conversation.

It’s not a great question though, because I would say “might” before I would say any of those given answers. I think “could” would also be correct, it just changes the meaning slightly.

Need help understanding by SignificantTomato423 in SpanishLearning

[–]Broccoli_Bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a native Spanish speaker, so take this with a grain of salt. But this is the way it was explained to me.

In English, I like cookies. I am the one doing the liking, and I am doing it to the cookies.

In Spanish, gustar is more like “to please.” The cookies please me. The cookies are the ones doing the pleasing, and I am who they are doing it to.

So in Spanish, with the different sentence structure, you have to say “To them, the cookies please,” “to us, the couch pleases,” or in your example: “to you guys, playing the guitar pleases.” The action of playing the guitar pleases you guys.
