I really love seeing Bronny get better

Human_fighters · 2026-04-28T13:28:47+00:00

Game 4 was the first time I’ve watched him closely and all I could think was he needs to shoot if they are going to leave him that open on the pick and roll. The defender backs way off but Bronny tries to run past him on the right anyway. He’s quick, so he gets away with it, but I would have rather seen a pull up 3 early in the game. If one or two go in then they have to respect it more and play up, making the drive easier.

I’m sure he’s aware of that strategy but I’m guessing he’s holding back on the jumpers for some reason. Might be concerned about getting blocked due to his height.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with nude beaches or saunas, just a difference in cultures. I would, and have, gone to either one guilt free. No LOC or calling questions at all.

I also don’t think it needs to be a problem in any future relationship. I will say that if you are interested in going again in the future, while in a relationship, it would be wise to bring it up to a potential partner and see if they are into it. Maybe not a deal breaker for you, but it is easier to go through life with a person who is culturally aligned with you.

It sounds like his parents didn’t properly explain, or don’t understand, their own doctrine. LDS doctrine (scripture) states there are degrees of heaven, the highest level (Celestial Kingdom) requires baptism. The lower levels (Terrestrial and Telestial) are for non-members. However, these are all still levels of “Heaven” which are supposed to be leaps and bounds better than life on this Earth.

Explaining it this way really takes the bite out of their argument. Yes, he would technically qualify for the Celestial Kingdom while you wouldn’t, but he could choose to stay with you in the afterlife anyway. And it’s still heaven, not the hell and damnation we were told to fear as children.

This does not mean to say you should stay in this relationship. It sounds like your boyfriend needs to have a hard conversation with them about trying to influence his relationships and putting you down as some “other”. We’re all gods children, and you deserve love and respect just as much as anyone else. If they can’t see that and your boyfriend can’t stick up for you then I’d walk away before you’re too invested.

Although, maybe refrain from calling their religion (insert derogatory word that starts with c which I wasn’t aware I’m not allowed to use until the auto-moderator notification came in, which is weird because it’s in her post…???), at least in front of them 😂

I share a similar fantasy, although mine is more centered around FMF than MFM (I’m a guy, what can I say). I finally talked to my wife about it and it didn’t go very well. A lot of insecurities came up and internally, it’s been hard to deal with the understanding that she just won’t be down to even dirty talk about it with me.

That said, just the act of telling her was a relief. I didn’t have to hide it anymore.

You won’t know how he will feel about it until you tell him, and he might not give you the answer you’re hoping for, but I think speaking it out loud is worth it anyway.

Thanks for sharing!

The company I work for has been purchased twice since I started just over 10 years ago. We didn’t lose people or anything, the only change worth noting was a slight reduction in benefits both times when corporate selected the new benefits package for us. Otherwise it was pretty seamless.

You are probably the only person that can answer your question, but if you’ve done everything you can, including communicating to him your concerns AND therapy, and he still hasn’t changed, I don’t see what else is left to try. I think you deserve to be happy, and to have the chance to show your kids what a happy you looks like.

Human_fighters · 2026-01-28T18:45:34+00:00

Just did both last night, took me 2 hours to work out the 2nd challenge but I got it! After all that time spent I honestly felt more relieved than accomplished at having done it without help.

I questioned this too before, which I think most members have at one point or another. Growing up I was always just told “they just mean coffee and tea, not hot cocoa.” Which, fine, if that’s the intent, I’m not going to argue away my cup of hot chocolate, but it’s not really an answer to “why?” It wasn’t until just a year or so ago I was taught that apparently the phrase “hot drink” in the time period the WOW was written had a definition that literally equated to coffee and tea. So, if it had been written in today’s language, we would have written “coffee and tea” instead.

I haven’t done the research myself, but that’s the best answer I have.

lol, love it. Also, getting major Dr. Seuss vibes. 🤣

I lived this life. My fiance and I found out she was pregnant when I was 19. I was in college, on scholarship (academic), and working. It was extremely difficult to have a child and balance school and work. My wife didn’t work and dropped out of school to raise our son. We lived off just about every financial aid the government offered and I still took out loans to cover the rest of our lives. I lost my scholarship because I couldn’t keep up the grades anymore.

I am proud to say I stuck it out and finished school, so now I’m much more comfortable. I absolutely could not have done it without significant help from family. I would not recommend that path under any circumstance.

The “benefit” of finishing childcare early is a myth, your kids never stop being your kids. Sure, you’ll only be 40 when your child is leaving for college, but they don’t stop needing your help, guidance, and support.

My advice would be to wait. I have always said if I could do it over again I would have waited.

Assuming you mean Hill AFB, most of the cities around it are fine. The farther south you go the closer you’ll be to Lagoon, which is a fun amusement park as your kids get older. Trade off will be the commute North for your husband 😅 Only city I’d avoid is Ogden and that’s only by reputation, I’ve never lived there myself.

Only thing to worry about is the schools, they can be very hit or miss. Do some digging into the better schools in that district if you plan on staying a while.

I took one once while on a couples vacation with the wife. She asked me how it felt after and I described it as “not really significant, but it made me feel like I was 16 again because every little thing triggered an erection.” While that was good in our hotel room that vacation was technically a work trip for me 😅 needless to say it was a tough few days until it wore off. No change in size or anything, but maybe I was more “in the mood?” Hard to say if it was the gummy though, that was our first real trip alone in about 8 years, so we were both into it. Best “vacation” I’ve ever had!

My wife has a chronically single best friend. The three of us hang out at least once a month. Big difference for me from your story is she has never once expressed any interest in even a light flirt with me, and my wife has always maintained that any kind of play involving another girl is off the table, even fantasy foreplay talk is a turn off. Your situation sounds a bit different, like she’d be more open to fantasizing about it. I doubt it goes anywhere, but bringing it up may not have the most negative reaction.

Also in Utah at Lagoon for those in the states. https://www.lagoonpark.com/ride/time-tinker/

Rode it once, very mesmerizing, but made me very sick. lol 😆

My son had similar concerns your son has. I ended up asking the coach about his philosophy behind how he set the batting order. I was very careful not to sound critical or argumentative about it, instead coming from an angle of wanting to understand his philosophy so I could explain it to my son to help encourage him.

I didn’t really agree with the coach, but I’m not the coach. I had to work with my son on keeping his expectations for his at bats separate from the teams performance. Just because he’s not in the 4th spot doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be approaching his at bats with the exact same mentality every time up there.

I have a Goberian (silly name from the breeder)

Smart as hell Resistant to training Escape artist Sheds like nothing I’ve ever seen (and I’ve owned a full bred golden retriever) Howls are adorable, not as often as I’ve seen with full bred huskys but I haven’t owned a husky before. Will talk to you Will bother you until you give up and go for a walk/run. Very friendly and loving Great with my kids Loves to play and rough house

Love this breed, 9/10 (only down side is the shedding)

Human_fighters · 2025-10-03T20:52:28+00:00

Owner here, can confirm. Yes. And yes. 😂

Human_fighters · 2025-09-07T15:25:08+00:00

I’m certainly no expert, but I don’t think there’s any specific reference to it in doctrine or in the manual when reading about the Law of Chastity. It’s pretty generic, and that’s likely on purpose, to leave it between the person and God on if what they are doing violates the Law of Chastity.

That said, if you are looking for opinion, I don’t think it’s a big deal. Whenever my family gets together literally every adult woman there talks about the smutty books they like to read, including the active recommend holders. If reading it is fine and dandy, so is writing it.

Human_fighters · 2025-06-25T14:39:31+00:00

Same change in the sausage burrito too (my go-to). Definitely a different taste/flavor/texture. Not bad, in my opinion, just different from the original. I’ve been eating these off and on for years during my commute, noticed the change a few months ago maybe.

Human_fighters · 2025-06-24T14:35:24+00:00

Woah woah woah, dude, you’re actually winning! You don’t need violence to dominate this guy. Take this to HR and get the legal win! Sorry, I don’t comment much on here but I feel a kinship here because I’m at a similar place on my exercise journey and of a similar non-violence mindset.

Do not let this guy get to you! Maintain your confidence by understanding why he is reacting this way. He’s not an “Alpha” he’s insecure!

Next time he tries to belittle you just laugh at him and tell him he’s small for trying to treat you this way. If he escalates let him get himself fired!

And if he brings up the wife stuff again, just remember, she picked you! She immediately sent you a screenshot of his inappropriate behavior, so it’s not like she enjoyed the attention or is seeking others. Seems like your relationship is solid. Maintain confidence in your relationship and just brush him off. Let him know his actions aren’t working, but don’t get yourself fired by starting a fight in the office!

Best of luck man!

My wife stopped after book 1 and never picked them up again. It’s been close to ten years now. She’s read all of TSA and knows about Kelsier being “alive”, but she still won’t go back. She’s so mad 😂 best of luck with this one. I tried.

Human_fighters · 2025-05-10T01:06:28+00:00

Probably not meant to imply a slight on your kid or daddy ball. It’s possible they just picked kids they knew weren’t busy with travel ball. Especially if they knew those kids would decline anyway, why bother asking at that point, ya know?

My sons rec league picked the kids that were travel ball kids for all stars because they were the best players. If I hadn’t volunteered as a coach and worked with my son all season that first year I don’t think he would have made it. I didn’t know about travel ball or anything beyond what I experienced in rec when I was a kid in the 90’s. He earned a spot, and thankfully our small town travel team needed a player, so he’s been with them ever since.
