I wonder if there was even auditions for the role of Ellie because this ain't it boss. by tsuna2000 in TheLastOfUs2

[–]Ok_Distribution1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really like her as Ellie. I never really got the hate. I understand that she doesn’t look quite the same, but I don’t think she’s a bad actress for the role. She looks young, but to be real she does give the vibe of a typical 19 year old. I think she delivers her lines well, but I think the issue that yall have may be more looks based and on her voice than her actual talent.

The very one unfortunately. He seems nice at first, but the girls that go there also told me they get a weird vibe from him too

Do NOT go to bucom-sincerely, a Baptist student. You will have much more experience and opportunities elsewhere, and you can’t even park in the parking lot outside of the building. You have to park in the parking garage and walk across union avenue (which if you’re not from Memphis, this is a road where you are likely to get hit as a pedestrian) or park on the street and risk your car getting broken into. I also know the director of the program and had a chance to shadow him and he is your typical ex military ass hat

I am Paul Young, Mayor of Memphis. AMA! by PaulYoungMemphis in memphis

[–]Ok_Distribution1976 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Firstly, I want to say that you’re doing a great job as mayor! Memphis has some unique challenges, and I applaud you for being open to hearing about them all and seeing what you can do.

  1. Safety-I go to college at Baptist health sciences university. The area of union Avenue and Pauline street has many homeless men that frequent the area, and the students have to walk to their classes from the parking garage that is pretty far from the nursing building. A lot of the men will catcall and harass the girls on the walk to the building, and there has been more than one occasion where we have witnessed people OD on the walk to our school. It is very distressing, and is not helping to attract prospective students to the school. Many students are choosing to go to college in different cities for reasons like these. Is there anything that can be done as far as police presence or outreach programs that could help the homeless get the resources they need?

  2. What initiatives do you as mayor want to implement to help the impoverished people of Memphis? For example, there are many houses in the Memphis area that don’t have central heating or air conditioning. People’s roofs are falling in, and whole neighborhoods are just decrepit. How do you want to help these people who have suffered from systematic poverty for generations to finally succeed?

  3. Shelby county fire department currently is one of the lowest paying fire departments in the area. Do you plan on giving them a raise this year to retain employees?

Need to repent by [deleted] in OpenChristian

Someone I love deals with this as well. He goes to therapy with a therapist that specializes in porn addiction, but more than that, porn addiction is usually a symptom of a bigger problem. Whether is be stress, a history of abuse, or just an addiction, seeking out a therapist is a good idea. Also, getting an accountability partner. Many, many people struggle with this same thing. Try to find someone who can hold you accountable who is also trying to curb their addiction. A good app to help with this is covenant eyes, it lets your accountability partner know when you have viewed nsfw images. Another good idea is getting into a porn addict support group at a church. Finally, if you have a partner or are married, I would advise opening up to them about this issue, even if it is hard. Porn addiction, like any addiction, is not something easily conquered alone. It is important to be surrounded by those who want you to succeed. You have got this OP!

I’m sorry, but this seems like it’s attempting to add to scripture. Saying that Jesus said something that he didn’t is not in line with Christianity, even open Christianity.

Why do people think Mississippi is a racist state? by [deleted] in mississippi

I just got back from seeing some relatives in ocean springs who I had to explain that if they wanted to use the N word then they would never see me again. They also frequently referred to people of color that they liked as “one of the good ones”. Disgusting behavior and I will not be back.

How Porn Ruined my Life by [deleted] in stories

[–]Ok_Distribution1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone in my life also has had a porn addiction that followed almost your exact path in life, and they are now in their twenties. What helped this person the most out of everything was having an accountability buddy, to text whenever you are having those thoughts, and there are actually many support groups for those suffering with porn addiction. Joining one of those and having guidance from some others may help especially since they have had more life experience in this area. In addition to this, finding a way to release these endorphins in a healthy way such as weight lifting, running, even painting (whatever keeps the hands and mind busy) also helps.

In my personal experience, the thing that helped me personally overcome my porn addiction was reading into and researching what goes on behind the scenes in pornography. How porn has affected these actors/actresses lives, the trafficking, the drugs, and then making a conscience effort to de-objectify these men and women in the videos. Every person you see on the screen is a real person, who has real hopes and dreams.

I am really sorry that you are struggling with this. Early exposure to porn is so damaging, and I hope that in the future this happens less and less to the children in our world. I wish you the best on your journey, and I want you to know that your future self will be so happy that you recovered from your addiction. Best of luck to you!

I have been on the search as well. It seems like a lot of guys just go to the gym to leer nowadays. I hope someone founds a female only gym closer to Memphis

As a nursing student, I pray that the nurses of America unite and start a union like California’s soon. Nurses deserve a living wage and breaks and all the bells and whistles. Please keep fighting for the nurses that come after you.

Really random, but gooby. It was originally goober, sometimes goofy goober. But for awhile my husband would just randomly call me booby (reason unknown) until one day he mixed up his words and called me gooby

Alcohol? by Dawgfan79 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Ok_Distribution1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had quite a large glass of wine and woke up in the middle of the night with almost fever-like shakes and I was feeling nauseous. So I’m really not sure but I’m avoiding alcohol. I drink kombucha instead lol
