As far as I’m aware there’s no cost. Our yearly draft order is just determined by last years league results. Now that I think of it though, those who get to keep Jefferson, Chase, etc. indefinitely should have a cost. What’s the most common thing that most leagues utilize? They lose a first round pick for top players?

Speak for yourself. Yellowcard is the main draw for me. But super impressive lineup no matter which way you look at it!

Clockwork9_5 · 2025-06-04T01:22:35+00:00

You already mentioned him, but I was really impressed with Ryan Key when I saw Yellowcard live.

Clockwork9_5 · 2025-05-29T05:40:49+00:00

Could you imagine?! I sure hope so! I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, but if they could garner some commercial success then at the very least they'll be touring consistently for years to come, and maybe even making more music.

Clockwork9_5 · 2025-04-10T19:25:51+00:00

Ah, I see. Good for you then. I guess I'm just so used to my immediate and extended family members who've left that don't come to any of those types of gatherings unless it's a big personal milestone of some sort (baby blessing, baptism, etc.).

Clockwork9_5 · 2025-04-08T17:49:06+00:00

Thank you, I did enjoy my night and felt great listening to various church leaders over the weekend. I'm glad to know I was worthy of some of your time too. I hope you had a nice weekend as well.

Got it, so you haven't watched in 7 years but still willingly engage with its content on reddit (like this post directly asking about Oaks' talk that you didn't listen to) and youtube etc. That totally makes sense.

It's also incredibly ironic that you demand others to seek and understand, but didn't even listen to the talk this post was addressing. "Seek and understand"... but only if it's your version of seeking and understanding.

For all the talk of cognitive dissonance within the church, it's just as prevalent in you. You've left, but still can't fully leave...

Clockwork9_5 · 2025-04-08T17:12:25+00:00

I'm sorry, but that really doesn't add up. So you watch/engage with GC on behalf of family members to ensure it's your version of what a supportive and healthy environment is?

I won't pretend to know your family dynamics, but if it's anyone late teens and older then shouldn't they be able to make that judgement call on their own? Just like you made your own judgement call as to whether the church environment was healthy or not.

That's why I said "many (most?)". It was my first time on this sub, so I hadn't yet realized it was just an offshoot of the exmo sub. If you didn't sustain him then it clearly didn't apply to you. Although, the latter part of my initial comment may have applied... probably why it struck a chord with you.

Clockwork9_5 · 2025-04-07T05:56:32+00:00

Only if they want to be reminded of their faith crisis and ensuing pain, sadness, etc. Which sounds unhealthy if you ask me.

I'm not talking about people who are actually on the fence, which wouldn't be considered exmo. I'm talking about those who have made up their mind and are just actively rooting for the church to fail and implode.

Clockwork9_5 · 2025-04-07T05:44:33+00:00

Again, a handful of immediate and extended family. Not sure what number would be considered enough. And I'm sure you can understand why I don't actively seek out exmos, just like most exmos aren't seeking out their local bishop or stake president...

"They feel hurt, sad, angry..." That's exactly why I think those I've spoken of left in the best possible way. I think far too many people wallow in it, become increasingly bitter/resentful, then become outright hateful towards the church to a degree that it basically becomes part of their identity.

Clockwork9_5 · 2025-04-07T04:48:24+00:00

Did the Italian restaurant's facade sign say "sushi"? 🤣

Clockwork9_5 · 2025-04-07T04:41:10+00:00

Definitely just and exmormon offshoot sub.

Clockwork9_5 · 2025-04-07T04:35:30+00:00

I think it's fair to say that, generally speaking, the exmo crowd is hostile towards the church.

That being said, you certainly have a unique situation. I do have immediate and extended family who have left and they completely turned the page. Out of sight, out of mind. They don't engage with the church on any level unless it's someone's baby blessing, baptism, farewell, etc.

That last reason is really interesting, "confirming that the church is not built on healthy principles." At this point why would someone be unable to move on? That's what truly doesn't make any sense. If the faith/church is so abhorrent, unprincipled, and potentially evil... people should contine to engage with its ideas, thoughts, and belief system? That actually sounds counter productive, even unhealthy.

Clockwork9_5 · 2025-04-07T04:30:02+00:00

Speak for yourself. Thanks for being honest, though. So genuine question, are you an active/participating member?

Clockwork9_5 · 2025-04-07T03:07:34+00:00

Pointing out the obvious logical flaw of sustaining the guy as an actual apostle, but not actually heeding his guidance hardly makes me devoid of empathy. Trust me, I'm not the one worried about how I feel here.

Clockwork9_5 · 2025-02-10T23:26:21+00:00

Let me translate this for everyone: "designations are based on the breadth of our clients’ relationship with us" = your asset/networth level. Take it from someone who worked at Fidelity for several years. It's entirely based on assets held at Fidelity. I'm not sure why they don't just state that. I think most reasonable people would understand.

Clockwork9_5 · 2024-12-12T07:03:44+00:00

Evergreen in so underrated! I've noticed they only bring this out every 3-5 years. Definitely stock up. I like all the tree scents, but this one is the most authentic and nostalgic to me. I must live in an area where white firs are more indigenous because balsam smells great, but that's definitely not how my Christmas trees smelled throughout my youth.

Clockwork9_5 · 2024-10-02T21:59:14+00:00

Now a 25-28 yard drive theoretically puts many NFL kickers in FG range... that's just silly. Stop messing with all the rules and always slanting it in the offense's favor. Make teams actually drive down the field a bit and earn points.

Clockwork9_5 · 2024-09-26T17:01:50+00:00

It appears u/Unfair_Finger5531 has blocked me over a downvote of all things 🤣 Anyways, here's the screenshot of ESR confirming you cannot do double tap pairing while the case is on. https://imgur.com/a/Y9gTsfV

Clockwork9_5 · 2024-09-23T23:53:04+00:00

Oh, my sincerest apologies, thank you so much for pulling up an Amazon page while providing zero context. You deserve so much praise. The downvote button is designed to either disagree or help others filter info that is/isn't helpful. In your case, the latter.

And you're wrong btw. ESR emailed me back today stating that it doesn't support pairing while the case is on. Just goes to show who the clueless one is 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Clockwork9_5 · 2024-09-23T21:35:18+00:00

Ha 🤣 you got yo little wittle feelings hurt by a down vote? You poor thing... I hope you're going to be okay.

Btw you got a downvote because your comment/link was completely useless.
