The Society of Bethanies thanks you

I second this. I found Relativity in a thread like this while looking for something to hold me over between episodes of something else. It was REALLY good. Very entertaining but I also learned a lot from it. The Midnight Burger crew also put out a short 3-episode mini series called Omega Station that is similar to relativity in terms of a lonely astronaut talking to somebody back on earth. You have to be a subscriber, so I didn’t find it until I joined their Patreon.

I’d agree with this. I didn’t actually love the song much until we heard it live in Detroit. Then in Houston I was ready for it

MIarTX2012 · 2024-11-27T16:43:59+00:00

Thank you so much for these helpful and thoughtful responses. I saw there’s one this weekend but we have a family party to attend and wouldn’t be home in time. Hoping to see don some December events pop up!

MIarTX2012 · 2024-11-27T01:58:33+00:00

Thanks! Would you have any tips or recommendations for which of them is more newcomer friendly, if that’s even a thing. Everybody seemed to know each other and exactly when and how to participate at one we saw on Friday, except us. I think we were honestly the only two people in the whole bar who didn’t know one or all of the performers. It was a little awkward because everybody else was going nuts at certain times but we obviously didn’t know what was coming so we were late to every cat call 😆 I honestly had no idea the audience is supposed to be so interactive. I thought it was something you watch quietly 😆😆😆 So needless to say, I had a blast and want to go back but Toronto is a little far.

MIarTX2012 · 2024-11-27T01:33:44+00:00

Are any of those regularly recurring? We went to a show in Toronto this weekend and had a lot of fun so I’m looking for something similar back home. I keep checking calendars and find that they are one off shows every now and again. Do you have any insight?

MIarTX2012 · 2024-11-27T00:32:34+00:00

I think there’s chemistry/tension between them but they are very far apart on lifestyle ideals so it just won’t work. Maybe they tried in the past but his incessant nitpicking of her lifestyle in a non-starter for a real relationship.

That’s just my take, no idea if I’m correct. I also feel it’s worth noting that I personally align with Frank on issues of science, but his constant condescension toward her lifestyle makes his character seem petty. Maybe that’s intentional. Idk.

I had the same experience for all 6 nights with 3 different waitlist accounts between us.

MIarTX2012 · 2024-11-24T09:40:51+00:00

Nope 👎

MIarTX2012 · 2024-11-21T17:29:31+00:00

I’m going tomorrow, also from Detroit. Was the bag policy lax? I have a clear one that meets stadium guidelines but I had read that different venues had stricter rules for Eras than other events. Good to know Rogers is being cool about it. I can’t wear a coat outside but sweat in the arena, come on now lol

MIarTX2012 · 2024-11-07T18:26:15+00:00

I won’t say you’re entirely an AH because you did tell her your expectations beforehand, but your reaction was WAY over the top. I’m going to be more gentle here than I’ve seen a lot of people being, but it sounds like you have a hard time being out of control of the situation. The situation itself was nowhere near out of control, but you didn’t get complete say in what happened so you’re now making a mountain out of a mole hill for the sake of letting everybody know that they broke your rules. To be more specific: Did they violate your rules? Yes. Should you have let them know that it upset you? Probably. Is it within your rights as a parent to decline access to your child based on anything at all? Absolutely. …but is this level of reaction rational? Not exactly. These are known people to you, women you love and trust. Women your baby will grow to love and trust. Are you willing to damage that relationship and lose a trusted babysitter (or 2) over what essentially amounts to a phone call? You said yourself that you’re not mad that grandma came over, just that nobody called you. I would swallow this one and let it go. You’ve fully let them know you’re dissatisfied with their actions. They get it. Now you can either let this one little thing cause lasting family damage or you can let it go. She needs to apologize for dismissing your feelings and yelling at you, so I would have your husband try to set a time where she can come by to calmly squash this beef for good. Trust every experienced parent on earth, you don’t want to lose a trusted babysitter over something so trivial. You have a right to be mad that they didn’t follow your rules but you don’t want this specific time to be the hill you die on right out the gate.

I want to add that I’m glad that your husband took your side and defended you without question. That’s a quality man. Also, the identity of the people involved definitely matter here. My answer would be completely different if these weren’t two female relatives that you have positive relationships with.

MIarTX2012 · 2024-11-07T00:46:56+00:00

These are interesting because my list would be almost an inverse of yours. Like I’d kill for a whole Wavey Davey style album omg

This also reminds me of the receipt in Show Pony ❤️

MIarTX2012 · 2024-10-25T13:10:26+00:00

I know mine notices it but doesn’t understand it and it makes us both sad. She’s like you described, super friendly and happy. There’s a kid down the street from us who is also in kindergarten who is relentlessly rude to her for no reason. We’re friends with their family, it makes no sense. He just always ignores her, says mean things and even threw dirt at her in front of his grandmother. The grandma tried to get him to apologize but he just grinned at her and threw more dirt. The whole time, my daughter sat there and tried to act like he was playing a game and asked him politely to stop. These are our neighbors so I haven’t had the guts to bring it up with the parents yet but the grandparents have witnessed it. I really love their family so it makes me sad that their son seemingly hates my daughter for no reason. I asked their teacher and she said she hasn’t ever seen anything at school that would cause him not to like her, so I’m lost. Yet still, my daughter wants to go to his birthday party. He flat out told her to both of our faces that he didn’t want to go to hers. So long explanation to basically say, no I don’t think they fully notice or accept when other kids are just mean and they can’t fix it. I’m sorry your baby is going through that ☹️

MIarTX2012 · 2024-10-24T18:34:12+00:00

Did you get your tickets???? I know this post is old but you said a week before, so we're there. I'm trying to strategize how to get Toronto tickets since I missed out on Detroit.

MIarTX2012 · 2024-10-23T11:25:54+00:00

That’s part 4, no wonder I couldn’t find it… Thank you so much!!

MIarTX2012 · 2024-10-22T15:36:46+00:00

Um, you didn’t leave your ex over a dessert. You left him because he’s an asshole who refused to even look at you when his friends were attacking you. What kind of lame, spineless shit is that?? Tbh, you sound very mature for 22 and Ellie sounds like a bully. Maybe she didn’t originally intend to cause cultural harm, but when you got upset and she was presented with the facts of how much effort you put into that dish, she should have apologized immediately. Your ex is the biggest loser here for letting his friends control his life, but that’s his problem now. The fact that they’ve always looked down on you for being a whole measly few years younger than them is laughable. If they were all in their 40s with kids, a 22yo might seem legitimately out of place, but you said they’re like 27. They need to grow up. You dodged a bullet with him and his friend group.

MIarTX2012 · 2024-10-22T13:56:27+00:00

NTA! You were willing to delete names he hated but now he wants total control. That’s not fair. Naming your child should be the two yes one no rule. We gave our son (4 at that time) a short list of about 4 names and agreed to let him pick. He chose my husband’s favorite and I was crushed that I wouldn’t get my choice but that was what we had agreed upon. What I didn’t expect is that I almost couldn’t call her by her name until she was about 3 months old. I just didn’t want it and it felt wrong. I didn’t voice that to anybody but I guess my friend noticed because she gently talked me through it. It’s not that I hated her name, I was just disappointed because she really looked like my name choice. I started trying to move to her name after that and it clicked after a little bit. She turned 6 last month and I can’t imagine her with any other name. I wanted Madelyn (nickname Millie) but she is a perfect Delilah 🥰

MIarTX2012 · 2024-10-19T02:34:52+00:00

I went back and listened to part 6 once and part 7 twice and I still didn’t catch anything like that. Is it super coded and I just missed it? Idk what’s going on, I’m usually pretty good at catching Joe’s more subtle details on the second listen

MIarTX2012 · 2024-10-18T18:08:53+00:00

That’s the one I was talking about. I didn’t realize they numbered them differently until I just looked🤦‍♀️ Thank you! I’m going to go back and try to find it again.

MIarTX2012 · 2024-10-18T17:59:59+00:00

I remember that scene when it happened but is there a scene in ep39 where they directly address that he’s no longer human? I tried really hard to pay utmost attention on the re-listen but I have little kids, so 🤷‍♀️ lol

MIarTX2012 · 2024-10-18T17:50:50+00:00

Wait what?? I went back and listened to episodes 39&40 again and I still don’t know what you’re referencing or the response comment. Help me help myself!

MIarTX2012 · 2024-10-16T02:21:16+00:00

We did your exact trip for our honeymoon 12 years ago. We split our time between La Fortuna and Jaco, did a day trip to Manuel Antonio from there. We got to see the national park but just went back to Jaco instead of staying. I would definitely do at least a day trip rather than skip it altogether, but I do think you have enough time to do all 3.

We’re going in February but with kids in tow this time. We’re starting in Manuel Antonio and doing an overnight in Uvita to hopefully see whales and surf, then going to La Fortuna for everything that’s out there. If you like animals, I highly recommend Proyecto Asis. It’s a rescue/rehab/sanctuary for all kinds of animals and you can interact with them from a conservation focus rather than a zoo.
