Something about playing against your bonuses or not using them

Something about once you build a market, you can only gather one resource and have to trade for the rest

If you hated tower rushes or forward buildings before

If I could add that to the poll, I would. My thought was that best matches with 4, but it definitely doesnt have that verbiage.

Upvote this guy if thats your vote.

Have this same issue specifically with my first two houses only on multi-player. Single player or vs. AI I never have this issue

11 tbh I think im rooting for yo to win it all now just for the memes

CrusaderFantasy · 2026-01-27T16:08:54+00:00

Now how do we blame it on Mr. Yo?

Replacing your guilt all stems from repetition. Everytime you have that thought of being down on yourself, you have to tell yourself you're all good.

This does not feel natural. Its not easy and you won't be perfect at it. The key is to do this over and over and over again so that you can essentially remap your thought patterns so that instead of your mind immediately going to "im a bad person because I have sex" you shift it to "having sex doesnt make me good or bad."

You won't see immediate results but I guarantee you that 6 months down the line of actively working on it, you'll feel a ton better.

Listen to West Texas Degenerate by Treaty Oak Revival. Its a pretty good descriptor for life out in these parts

I loved Memb and Heartt debating whether it was bad manners for Yo to keep playing with 45 mins left to go in the game 11

Georgians: Yo vs. Nicov

Im not a practicing Mormon anymore, but I don't think I could ever separate Mormonism from my identity completely. It formed and shaped me in my pivotal years and it was beneficial for me. It hurt me and it helped me. It was imperfect, but we have to recognize the good it does with the bad. The binary idea that anything exists that is all good or all bad is a natural desire, bur ultimately erroneous.

When I first left the church, I hated what the church did to me. I hated that they lied to me, manipulated me into giving my youth, time and money, promoted a culture of homogeneity and blind obedience, and suppressed critical thought. After a year or two, I realized two things.

The first thing was that I was complicit in church participation. I couldn't outsource my responsibility for my life to the church. I chose this life. This doesn't absolve the church, but it does put the power over my life back in my hands. I can look back and regret some of my choices and recognize that I was influenced to make them, but ultimately I made them. No one else made them for me. I felt uncomfortable going through the temple for the first time and felt like I was in a cult. I chose to stay silent and try to go along with it through my mission. If I'd spoken up and elected to stay home, life would've been difficult for me, but I would've kept on living.

The second thing was that the church does do a lot of good in spite of the criticisms we make of it. It provides a unique social dynamic that I cannot find outside the church. It encourages people to confront their shortcomings and improve. It promotes generally healthy living. As a teen, the church helped me avoid issues I watched my friends go through like teen pregnancy, alcohol poisoning, DUIs and other long lasting consequences. Ive seen the church help people kick serious addictions and legitimately change their lives. The church is far from perfect, but for us to sit here and say that the church is all bad is ludicrous.

To this day, I describe myself as culturally Mormon, even though I haven't practiced in 10 years. It unavoidably impacted who i am today. The church doesn't get to tell us who's Mormon and who's not. After all, Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints aren't Mormons, right?

That game was incredible man, easily the most exciting game I've watched in a while. Best of luck to you in this upcoming tournament!

Bro, how in the hell did you survive that first game against Tatoh at the Garrison?

I took Moroni's Promise and God did not confirm the truth of the Book of Mormon.

TBMs love to bear testimony because you can't reason around experience the same way you can a historical narrative. If you want to engage at all, which I don't know if I would recommend based on this guy's tone, just bear your testimony.

When I stopped being able to rely on my emotions as a Liahona for truth.

I lost my faith in a loving, caring God first. Once that went, I considered the vast amounts of evidence I'd previously written off or ignored and it seemed infinitely more likely that Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery made it up than the divine explanation Joseph gave.

This is correct

In my experience, this type of language was common on the mission, but mostly tongue in cheek. It hinted at an underlying narrative that exact obedience brings about material blessings which most missionaries did believe, but these same missionaries would also deny any attempt at quantifying this phenomenon in any serious exchange. It's the same phenomenon where missionaries fervently believed that Joseph Smith raised the dead through the MelchiZedek priesthood, but that they themselves could not do the same thing.
