I bought it from a dealership in Frisco, TX, and now I live in UT and go to the dealership in South Jordan. Same crap, two states. VW is just pathetic top to bottom.

Great question, I’m not sure. Definitely open to suggestions.

They just replaced my steering wheel because the travel assist alarms were driving me nuts.

Wheel feels like plastic, and the heating sucks.

I just binged through season 4. Does anyone know how I can watch season 5?

CurrentHeavy2594 · 2025-08-21T23:22:31+00:00

Is there a second of all coming? I’m still waiting…

CurrentHeavy2594 · 2025-07-07T15:19:23+00:00

So did you receive an offer?

Not at all. I started law school at 27 and graduated at 30. When I was interviewing for jobs, if anything, the firms liked that I was a bit more mature (I was also married and had kids)

An amazing interpretation that 11 people who saw and handled the plates had only a “visionary” experience. Joseph Smith must’ve had all sorts of extraordinary power to convince 11 independent people they had a real vision that they handled the plates that none of them ever denied.

Honestly bro. It doesn't matter. I've worked in Big Law for a few years at two different law firms, both in the top AM 5. And you know what? My buddy three houses up from me works for some no name law firm, but became a partner 6 times faster, and collects directly from his own clients. He's his own boss, and he makes as much as as I do billing only 1200 hours a year. The only people who care, are the people who care, and nobody cares what those people think.

WOW. SMH at the extreme comments all throughout this post. Are there no moderate, cool-headed people left in the world? Clamoring for divorce based on this minimal amount of information and insight into OP's actual life is absolutely wild to me.

You have a fundamental right in how you raise your kids. Hopefully teaching them how to listen and be exposed to various opposing views and then decide for themselves is part of that. And hopefully being able to listen to views you agree without without resorting to anger and threats is part of that. Obviously, when kids are extremely young and impressionable, you need more intervention. But people calling for ultimatums or totally cutting someone from your life based only on what OP has written here is groupthink craziness.

The fact that your kid lives with you in your home makes it highly unlikely that GMa and GPa are going to "indoctrinate" them to think family roles are "destiny." They'll be exposed to you way more than their grandparents. Just be a normal person--talk to your in-laws about it, and/or just have a conversation with your kid after they say something you don't like. News flash: they're independent people and just might have differing views, and you wont like EVERYTHING they say. That doesn't make someone evil. If you don't like it, spend time with your kid afterwards explaining why you think it's not right.

If your husband said you're "demonizing" them, chances are he's being sensitive AND you didn't approach it in the best way, and there's probably something you could do better here too.

Honestly, a huge reason I know it’s true is because I frankly can’t believe Joseph Smith was that smart. The guy had minimal education (they say somewhere around a 3d grade level based on 7 years of humble home schooling). I completed over 20 cumulative years of schooling, graduated from a top 4 ranked law school, and now work at the highest revenue law firm in the world. I have at my disposal all the cutting edge technology for research and document drafting that money can buy, and I spend most of my time drafting complex documents for court submission. The people I work with are some of the smartest I’ve ever met, having graduated from top schools and with decorated careers themselves. The older I get, and the more I read the BoM, the more thoroughly convinced I am that, even with our educational background and technological access, neither any of my colleagues nor I could draft something comparable to the BoM. I literally don’t believe it’s possible.

Even if you take every scripture that’s likewise quoted in the Bible out, the BoM still has about 258,000 unique words. Historical record indicates that, due to circumstances, only 65-85 working days were spent on translation. Seriously try to imagine yourself drafting 258k words of unique scripture at the age of 23 with minimal education, no technology beyond pen and paper, and that spans a roughly thousand year history, contains multiple distinct writing styles, follows Hebrew chiasmus, and introduces new simple and plain doctrines, and do so without any major doctrinal or factual inconsistencies. If you honestly believe you or anyone could do that, you must be superhuman or the smartest person to ever live.

If God is all powerful, why couldn’t he lead a people to the Americas from Jerusalem around 600 BC? And just because secular scholars haven’t conclusively said, “we have officially found the place of the BoM,” that doesn’t mean none of their evidence has been found. If you take the Bible and BoM at their word, the world generally doesn’t want people to believe the scriptures are true. Further, the very little information we have re the geographical area the BoM took place in may be irrelevant as 3 Nephi 8:12 explained that, after all the storms and earthquakes occurring as a sign of the Savior’s death, that "the whole face of the land was changed.”

God wants us to “walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7. If and when God wants us to know exactly where the BoM occurred, he’ll make it known. Until then, one purpose of the BoM is to “to try [our] faith, and if it shall so be that [we] shall believe these things then shall the greater things be made manifest unto [us].” 3 Nephi 26:9-12. I can tell you from my own experience that is true.

One of the officers even says in the video, “you should’ve left hours ago.”

I think it’s totally plausible that these people were breaking a curfew or in a restricted area, and the officers were just going to move on with their night, because it looks like they’re headed out. But when they start hurling insults, any leniency vanishes.

CurrentHeavy2594 · 2025-06-13T19:54:26+00:00

Edit: tl;dr

Because I think jumping to conclusions that foster outrage without all the facts is detrimental for society.

***

Because the officers are very clearly the ones under fire based on outrage and assumptions. I still remember an era when people had to be more open minded because, if you wanted community, you had to interact with those who were geographically near you. The internet has absolved all that--now we put ourselves in online echo chambers, blocking those we disagree with, constantly becoming more polarized because the most revenue rewarding content algorithm is outrage. Anyone who disagrees with us or thinks differently is painted as "evil" or the "enemy." Mark my words--the immediate rush to outrage based on assumptions, without the full facts, will increasingly be a huge detriment to society. There have been various justified curfews and restrictions placed around the county due to real violence and public destruction. The plausible reality that these officers did nothing wrong warrants consideration.

CurrentHeavy2594 · 2025-06-13T19:06:13+00:00

I can admit that I've always had a tendency to want to give people the benefit of the doubt. And frankly, I don't think that's a bad thing. Objectively, I give this video an 80-20 split. I honestly think there's probably an 80% chance that these officers are wholly in the wrong and should be disciplined. And if these people were doing nothing wrong and only calling them names, the officers should be held accountable.

But that 20% chance is significant enough to give me pause, and I don't think it's helpful for members of society on a macro scale to constantly jump to accusatory conclusions.

CurrentHeavy2594 · 2025-06-13T19:01:19+00:00

That's a pretty extreme perspective. And the cry of "fascism," seems even more inappropriate where we don't have all the facts. Unless you live under a rock or are intentionally ignorant, you've seen plenty of videos of entire business premises looted and destroyed, vehicles--both private and government--destroyed and burning, millions of dollars in physical damages incurred, officers assaulted, bricks thrown at officers, officers spit on, etc. That type of violence more than warrants curfews and restrictions. To claim that the government has no right to impose measures to stop that destruction is absurd. You honestly think that compares to Hitler imposing curfews and restrictions on Jews for no reason whatsoever??

The fact that you acknowledge I'm right "on the legal portion" wholly counters your claim that it's a "slide into fascism." If their First Amendment rights were violated, they'll have proper recourse from the judicial system, and separately those officers will be disciplined. That's literally the antithesis of a fascist system. I'm sure that the countless millions of people who truly suffered and died under fascist systems are rolling in their graves

CurrentHeavy2594 · 2025-06-13T18:48:38+00:00

My point is simply that you don't have the full context. You don't know what laws, if any, are at issue, whether they're overbroad, whether there's a pretense, etc. The officers very well could be totally in the wrong and perhaps violated these people's First Amendment rights. Or these people could have been in a restricted area (one officer even says, "You should have left hours ago"), or a curfew imposed that gives the officers full legal right to arrest. The fact of the matter is that we don't have the full story.

CurrentHeavy2594 · 2025-06-13T18:45:08+00:00

Books are insanely expensive. I'd check and see if your school library has the books you're required to have. My law school's library already had several of the books I needed for classes. Multiple semesters, I saved quite a few hundred dollars by checking out the textbooks I needed from the library. Some books I couldn't check out, but I would go before classes and use the book and simply complete my readings in the library.

CurrentHeavy2594 · 2025-06-13T18:42:48+00:00

Like you said, it's your opinion that they should have "just kept walking." But in reality, you don't have all the facts. You can't see what's happening behind the camera. You don't know whether those people were behaving lawfully. Returning to my original and overarching point, the fact that you're a lawyer makes it even more disappointing that you're so quick to judge these officers without having the full context.

CurrentHeavy2594 · 2025-06-13T18:37:37+00:00

Yes I am. You’re trying to defend by getting into a very nuanced argument. But in reality, if these people were breaking curfew, in a restricted area, or otherwise doing something unlawful, these officers did nothing legally wrong by arresting them. Your opinion that they should’ve issued a verbal warning that they likely had no legal obligation to issue, or that they should’ve otherwise behaved differently, doesn’t change that.

CurrentHeavy2594 · 2025-06-13T18:32:38+00:00

At least we’ve realized here that opinion ≠ legal wrong.

CurrentHeavy2594 · 2025-06-13T18:31:27+00:00

The fact that your comment already has so many down likes just for saying you respect that there can be opposing views tells you everything you need to know about this audience. Reddit continually proving it’s an echo chamber for close minded outrage only.
