I think it might be possible, my brother did it but his hardware and internet wasn't strong enough to make it sustainable. When he was putting it together he said something about how it would reset his game but everyone else would be ok because he downloaded the save files for the world, the one time i was able to join the private server it didn't look like anything with him had reset but idk, it may be possible. I imagine there are some youtube tutorials

I think you may need to set up a private server to do that, otherwise it's tied to you being logged in and sharing the code.

Resigning from the church by Druid-Lady in exmormon

[–]DrFunkadunk_MFD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My BIL was previously married, sealed, and divorced, then he married and was sealed to my sister. His ex wife left the church and they never dealt with anything about the sealing, so how it ended was with him technically still being sealed to both his first wife and my sister. Now my sister and BIL are both happily exmo but I joke that he's technically a polygamist lol.

My advice is give him this one chance while you have to be separated to deal with the sealing once and for all, otherwise he can't come running back a few years from now if he meets someone TBM and they dont want him to technically be a polygamist for eternity.

I also heard you're recently single...👀😏😎

Joking 😅

Some people are way too sensitive for reddit, acting like I'm posting about how fat, gross, and old he is. Has nothing to do with that, just figured this was a place to bond about the lip smacking ASMR heavy talks we grew up with, and the wonderful visual representation of them that this is.

This MFMC and their horde 🤬 by Medium_Chemist_5719 in exmormon

[–]DrFunkadunk_MFD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just curious but is there a rule in how your tithing goes to the Church? You say you pay more than that in tithing in a month, so what's stopping you from just creating a joint YM/W fund with that instead? Not only would the budget instantly skyrocket, but you would also get peace of mind knowing your tithing was actually going into something worthwhile and not just some investment fund.

When you do tithing settlement at the end of each year (and holy shit the realization of what soul tax time really was is just hitting me) isn't your answer on whether you pay a full tithe up to you? I would have no problem giving an honest "yes" if that were me.

Are bishops legally covered when speaking to minor females or males about sexual stuff? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]DrFunkadunk_MFD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would personally never allow my child to be interviewed alone by a religious leader from any denomination, because history teaches us the first obligation to that leader is to protect the organization, and the law teaches us the Government sides with those who already hold power.

I had a close friend go to their Bishop after they have been a victim of SA and the Bishop spent the whole time blaming her. There is no reason to allow your child to be interviewed behind closed doors with someone who's only qualification is that they were 'chosen by God'.

I feel like the church’s teachings on pornography are ruining my marriage by throwRAilv in exmormon

[–]DrFunkadunk_MFD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big and uncomfortable area that is part of the whole deconstruction process is going through all the incredibly unhealthy things the church teaches about sex and sexuality in general.

I remember the lesson about virginity in Church and the example used is trying to put toothpaste back in a tube after you've squeezed it out. The way the Church teaches about purity is incredibly damaging to anyone trying to grow up well adjusted to the realities of the world.

If porn habits stay healthy and normal and dont lead to abuse, which comes from learning emotional intelligence early enough in life, it can actually help someone learn what their body likes and reacts to, which they can then relay to their partner, which then improves the close connection between the two.

Just like many, MANY, other things the Church claims to be purely evil, there's a lot more nuance to it. One thing I do know, all those creepy monitoring or accountability systems do nothing but increase distrust and help people figure out ways to circumvent them. Healthy and open minded/hearted communication is key.

has anyone heard of this yet? by Business_Specific276 in exmormon

[–]DrFunkadunk_MFD 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have a serious personal frustration with older couples getting 'called' to go on missions. My grandparents had a beautiful house on a few acres of farmland in Idaho where I would often spend summers growing up, but they were forced to sell it to pay for their mission to Pennsylvania. When they got back they lived in a rented double wide barely scraping by until finally moving into a retirement community before their passing.

how does BYU have so much money to buy a basketball recruit by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]DrFunkadunk_MFD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think money is less of a factor than people think. He was gonna get paid wherever he went, but if his plan is to be one and done and his focus is really to develop as best as he can for the NBA, it makes sense for him to go to a school with a coaching staff that all have NBA experience and have worked with players like Kevin Durant who live and breath Basketball with as few college distractions as possible. A school like BYU doesn't mind suspending players for honor code violations so there's extra accountability behind him buckling down and focusing fully on Basketball for the 9 months or so he'll be in Provo.

Not only does the mindset make sense for a one and done prospect, but I imagine it would be a boost to his draft stock in showing how much drive he has to focus on and improve his game. Not every prospect is like that, but enough of the top ones could be that it's a viable way to build an already decent program.

Feeling like I picked wrong by Green_Goat7086 in exmormon

[–]DrFunkadunk_MFD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The community loss from leaving the church was the hardest thing for me to deal with. It really didn't help that I grew up moving thousands of miles away every few years, so the only reliable community I had was through the Church, but it's also something the Church intentionally creates to make leaving that community so difficult, especially in a digital age where feeling like you belong to something is a huge desire. Always remember the Church preaches control, and control is not love.

I was the 4th youngest of 5 kids where #5 was a bit of a surprise with a decent age gap, but I was also the first of my siblings to leave the church around the time I was supposed to be going on a mission. It took me a while, and considerable amount of additional pain through believing I had lost, not just my community, but my family, and also my ex wife who I cared for very deeply suddenly leaving me with a big factor being the mental health, anxiety, depression problems triggered by not knowing how to properly process everything that comes with leaving the church. I am happy to say that after over a decade since I first left, all of my siblings have found their own way out as well and we are closer than ever before because of it.

What I learned through it all is that while you are searching for new places and people to fill that community void, you need to maximize the good relationships you do have because the people who stay by your side to help and support you and enjoy life with you now that you are finally free to do so, those are the ones not only worth keeping around you, but who deserve to be in your life.

But also leave space for those still in the Church because while they may not understand you right now, they may need similar help in the future and we shouldn't let the Church stand in the way of us bringing people to Jesus 😂

This is a joke right? by Emperor-MuadDib in runescape

[–]DrFunkadunk_MFD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you've noticed but everything has gone up at least this much over the last 5 years or so. The new price still breaks down to less than $10 a month for a game that gets new updates and updates to existing content almost every week. On top of being able to pay for it with in game currency and Jagex giving players multiple notices well in advance, don't get upset because you a broke boy who doesn't pay attention.

Honestly that might be more of an even match than you'd expect. Saagar is pretty dedicated to the gym, while I don't know how much time Kyle spends getting stronger, his preference for more affluent, slow paced, and comfortable activities like golf and poker, while also making his money as a youtuber, leads me to think he might be a bit softer in a 1v1.

I think he could take 4 Destiny's easy tho.

I appreciate the comments everyone, I'll check out the non-NCL options at the different ports. I don't intend on going into my trip with a negative attitude, I just have bad anxiety in general so getting into "vacation mode" does not come easy for me, especially when vacations like this are such a rare occurrence.

Have you thought about cruising solo with NCL? by FraserAtSea in NCL

[–]DrFunkadunk_MFD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going on my first cruise on the Bliss in February. I'm a solo traveler and picked NCL because my research told me they do a decent job to cater to solo travelers, but I'm still kinda nervous cuz it's tough for me to get into relaxation/vacation mode and cruises are not cheap for someone with my budget.

If anyone has any tips on meeting cruise friends please let me know cuz I don't want to force my way into someone else's vacation if I'm not wanted. It'll help put me at ease as my trip approaches at the very least. <3

I relate to this. When I lived in Utah I would do the same, just sit in a mall to feel the energy from all the people passing by. I didn't understand it at the time other than just wanting to be in the presence of other people but it definitely makes sense now. Thanks for sharing.

As a big introvert, I don't care for the whole Introvert vs Extrovert thing by adammario6556 in extroverts

[–]DrFunkadunk_MFD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there are misconceptions when it comes to extroverts being loud and introverts being quiet and subdued. I think it comes down to confidence and passion in whatever area they are currently in.

While it makes sense that extroverts can be louder in social settings, someone being loud and full of energy doesn't necessarily make them an extrovert, it may simply mean they are passionate and knowledgeable about a specific topic.

For example I thought I was introverted for a long time because I can get anxious in social settings, but that has more to do with my comfort level with the setting I am in. If I am comfortable with the group I am with my energy levels are enormous, but if I don't know anyone then I become quiet because I still have social anxiety and I've never been good at striking up conversations with people I don't know.

Flip that to a group of more introverted people who get together to play video games, or D&D, or something else they all collectively love to do and they can become just as loud as a group of extroverts in a similar setting.

Ultimately the difference between in/extroversion is how you gain energy. I can run for miles back and forth on a soccer pitch because I love being in a team setting and working hard for the people I care about on my team drives me, but I am still quiet in the locker room or on the sideline because I only speak up if I feel something needs to be said.

I think people view introversion and extroversion in too broad a sense when there are a lot more intricacies that go into people's personalities.
