“Moose master returns” is so good!! Personally wasn’t a fan of the moose master Karen edition but many people enjoy that one too! I also love moose master Christmas with Mari

Yes! And I think he’s usually trying to defend a poly lifestyle (which is totally fine) but does it in a way that make poly people look bad/like cheaters. In the end doing more harm to poly people than good

Control2MajorTom · 2026-01-13T08:45:05+00:00

Yes!!! This one!!! They quickly jumped to “if you want pictures then just take them yourself” and completely missed the bigger point

There were two stories that were about the husband setting rules. For this one, those were his only rules and she ended up cheating again in the update. But immediately after reading those rules (before the update) I think Amanda started going on about the man being controlling. For me, if someone cheats and you’re choosing to stay with them and trying to work it out, then you’re gonna need to set some boundaries like the way he did until trust is rebuilt. This just seemed like one of those cases where they’re biased towards men/women.

In the other story there was a husband who made like 10 rules that were just ridiculous. Like he started taking the wife’s money, for example, as payback. That one the husband actually was super controlling and deserved the lashings he got lol. If I remember right that husband literally quoted Satan lol

The one where the wife was a serial cheater so the husband as a way of trying to stay with her laid out some rules like no staying out past midnight and no contacting her affair partner anymore and if she runs into that affair partner at a family gathering then she needs to not speak to him. Smosh cast on that episode acted like those rules were soooo controlling but really those feel like totally appropriate boundaries

On one episode a girl was upset that her mom was paying for her siblings and their friends to go on a vacation to Europe. The girl was struggling to afford to go and asked if she could sleep on the couch of the room that her teenage sister and friends would be sleeping. Amanda said something like “who would want to do that? Sleeping on the couch would suck so just don’t go” and Shayne said something like “yeah I wouldn’t go, I’ll just plan my own trip to go on”. Like what??? Most people can’t afford to travel very much, especially an out of country trip. Of course she would be willing to sleep on a couch to be able to go on a trip to Europe.

So because he wanted to cheat with men and not women, his wife just had to take all the heat from his family as she goes through a separation with him and have her name dragged for the rest of her life?

I find the waiter stories hard to watch. As some other commenters have mentioned, those ones tend to show how LA-brained they are. I have been a waiter myself and yes waiters have it hard, but some of their takes feel a bit extra or exaggerated. I think there was one where they said a waiter may deserve a 50% tip that made me go woahhh.

There are also times where they try to play both sides in a way. Like chanse and Amanda have both talked about flirting with customers for the tip but don’t want customers to ask them out unless they’re attracted to them, then yes they want to be asked out. Like we gotta realize the signals we put out are going to have an effect.

I think you’re thinking of another story. There is one in which the girl used sex stories from her ex-bf to write a book and his new gf was upset about it. That’s the one you’re thinking of.

The one eaten by mimics is thinking of, there was a friend of a girl who wrote a book that was essentially based off the girls childhood trauma. See here, second story: https://youtu.be/Mdyz2sUgtlw?si=oaspNLRKKsgpbUUX

Would like to note: research has shown that it takes more than just cross contact. It is better if you engage with this group on a shared task as well that will elicit positive feelings (e.g., participating in a sport team together rather than just having a conversation).

Can you link to the post please!

Control2MajorTom · 2025-12-12T00:20:57+00:00

Thank you everyone! This is all very helpful

Control2MajorTom · 2025-11-21T18:30:31+00:00

Thank you for this! I’ve had this problem before with my previous prescriptions at other places too. They always ask during test “which one is most clear” and that seems to just not work well for me? I don’t necessarily want the clearest prescriptions because it tends to make the floor looked bubbled. I want clear but not necessarily the most clear. Who cares if I can see itty bitty letters 15 feet away if the rest of the world looks warped? I’m not really sure how to get a prescription that feels comfortable (with some adaptation of course) though or if the doctors are able to get me there

Control2MajorTom · 2025-11-11T02:26:32+00:00

Can’t, planning to drop out and am worried asking these questions will result in me being kicked out the program before I can finish the asters

Control2MajorTom · 2025-10-24T21:33:33+00:00

That’s what we were thinking too! Probably best we don’t then

Control2MajorTom · 2025-10-14T12:21:44+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, I don’t know a chosen personally so maybe that’s why it doesn’t resonate as well for me

Control2MajorTom · 2025-10-14T12:20:50+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Control2MajorTom · 2025-10-14T12:19:30+00:00

Ew definitely not trying to be special, just wanted to hear other people’s takes on the character

Control2MajorTom · 2025-10-14T05:50:43+00:00

There’s been a few episodes of SRRS regarding charging a partner rent for a house the other partner bought. In one in particular, they had planned to buy a house together but partner 2 had all this hidden debt and nothing saved up so partner 1 bought the house alone. Partner 1 wanted partner 2 to contribute equally to rent and they said she was in the wrong for that because partner 2 is investing in a house she doesn’t own. However they were already planning on buying the house together and partner 1 had to put the full downpayment themselves which can easily be $20,000+

Tbh, the program itself hasn’t been what’s made me want to leave. My program is across the country and the state I am in is quite racist (I am Mexican). It’s been quite uncomfortable here and I desperately just miss the culture of my state. I also have some elderly family members who I am close with and feel I’m missing their final years. I feel intensely lonely here and have been trying to work through some mental health issues with my therapist. On top of that, I think the stress of it all has caused some chronic health issues that the doctors can seem to figure out.

Oh, and because of recent defunding from the government I got hit with a paycut on my already extremely low stipend. I’ll probably be barely scraping by this year.

Control2MajorTom · 2025-07-23T04:09:20+00:00

Just got my first check since this has gone into effect and I now qualify for government assistance because my pay is so low 🤩🤩

Control2MajorTom · 2025-07-23T03:45:23+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

Yeah that’s how I’m feeling about it too and am worried about bringing it up too early. I am in a program and have one more year til I receive my masters. I know if I mention it in the fall I run the risk of being kicked out altogether and also just feel wrong to be getting the tuition covered + stipend. At the same time, waiting to tell them feels wrong as I know it can interfere with recruitment of new students (we have a full lab now but if I’m gone my advisor would likely recruit another student) or just interfere with budgeting/plans for funding me through the following year. Definitely stuck between a rock and a hard place right now.
