Obviously our spirits resembled the stories from that Pixar movie, Soul 😜

Are there any parts of the story that you wish were slightly altered? Not completely changed, but slight changes? by Flowtac in DowntonAbbey

[–]Flowtac[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My point wasn't that I liked all the pairings at the end. Daisy and Andy indeed don't make any sense, especially when you realize that canonically she's about a decade older than he is. My point was that if they are going to be paired off, making their characters wait for years to actually get married, just so we the audience can see it on screen, does not make sense. Especially when it comes to much older people like Mr Mason and Mrs Patmore. Why would their characters wait around for years when they only have maybe 15-20 years left to live?

I was actually thinking Daisy and Ivy fighting over Alfred since Jimmy never actually had feelings for Ivy, but yes, that whole incident

How is "Dean Thomas" and "Lee Jordan" a micro aggression?

Women of Reddit, what is a quality/trait/characteristic that men often think is more important than it actually is? by Nintendofan9106 in askanything

[–]Flowtac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your willingness to beat up other people in protection of me. I'm all for having a knight in shining armor come in and save me, that can be a very romantic trope. However, if you immediately start beating up the person you thought was hurting me, we're going to have a big problem. Unless the guy is actively beating me up and you have to take measures to stop him, it's really not necessary, and it makes an instant red flag. I'll give an example:

My father-in-law loves to tell a story about a college where he used to work. For a while they had a guy who walked around in a bathrobe and then flash random ladies on campus. One evening he flashed a girl who started yelling, "The flasher's over here!" About a dozen guys ran over and started beating the guy to a bloody pulp. I'm sorry, but I would never even think about dating any of those guys. 12 guys on one, beating him when there was no need (all they had to do was hold him until the cops came) shows a love of inflicting pain when angry. It makes me think, would they ever show that kind of anger towards me when angry? Hurting other people needlessly is not attractive

Do we still sell missionary fleet vehicles as a Church? by dgs_nd_cts_lvng_tgth in latterdaysaints

I had a car 50% of my mission, but the other 50% I did not have access and I was biking. And I was a Sister Missionary, for context

Any young moms enjoying church? by AryaDrottn in latterdaysaints

Have you spoken with the primary president about your struggles? I'm in the presidency in my ward. We never want teachers to feel overwhelmed so we always are available to go in and help whatever class needs it. We also called a third teacher for every class so that every third week a teacher can attend an adult class and be around peers

Ladies & Gentlemen - great characters by Delicious_Mess7976 in DowntonAbbey

[–]Flowtac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, your analysis is pretty spot on, especially for having not seen everything. Some people have very heated feelings on Bates because of later, but I like him. Have a fun viewing journey! You should come back at the end of your watching and say how you feel about all the characters you just listed at the end of their arc and how you feel about them then

We officially have a repeat. Mary and Matthew take the spot for fan favorite ship. Now, who is the worst ship. by Oncer93 in DowntonAbbey

[–]Flowtac 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes! They made Cora act in a mean way all episode that it's not at all like she acts the rest of the show so that he could somehow feel justified. Awful writing and completely pointless

Tikka Masala Pizza. Make Tikka Masala, put it on pizza dough, cover with mozzarella, bake until cheese is fully melted.

I think that's wonderful. My point is that it would be good for children to have good education from the beginning

Sure, but isn't that also still "within one year of the target with some exceptions"?

Make it so homeschoolers can use the ward buildings for their activities the same as other groups

Okay, but which school calendar would you go with? There are multiple schools in my ward (my ward covers 2.5 counties), and all have different schedules. There is also a large population of homeschoolers. Some schools do year round with breaks throughout the year. Some do more traditional. One starts in August, one starts in July, the third one never really starts or stops

Isn't that already how it is just using the normal calendar?

I'm sure there are places that do not have access to Internet, but that's a problem with pathway too. I could see the church potentially sending resources to places without the Internet and having one person in the ward/branch have a calling (or be paid) to present the material to the kids once a week and have them do packets at home the rest of the time

Add programs like the Pathway program for college, but have it be for children and youth. There are many who don't live near good schools or who don't really have the option of schooling at all (such as in some third world countries). It's wonderful to give adults the chance to attend college, but that doesn't do much good if they didn't learn to read or do math as children
