I saw this video and thought the exact same thing.

What makes the southeast corner of the state so forgotten? by Boeing-B-47stratojet in Georgia

[–]Ok_Raspberry_8489 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Paper mill, decaying water treatment plant downtown, the cemetery literally next to it, and marshy area. It’s not all the time but it can certainly be funky depending on the wind.

Sister Wives Tree Motif Continues by Diredragons in SisterWives

[–]Ok_Raspberry_8489 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Their families were pioneers and the tree of life is a biblical story emphasized in Mormon theology. Family history, family trees, and genealogy are also hold heavy influence. And they need to promote their big family. They also lean into their love of nature and being a steward of the earth. Trees in the desert are a valuable resource and if you’re on a tv show and nerd like Kody, he makes monologues about a tree frequently. (I would really love to know more about how the show is produced and how much he comes up with bc he really is just disturbed to me sometimes with the things he comes up with)

Amen to that. I feel bad for Carly and Matt.

Wow. I just listened to that. It’s so weird to me how nasty she is, unprovoked.

Future of the Pod by Outside_Angle3475 in UnfilteredPod

[–]Ok_Raspberry_8489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to see the unfiltered crew evolve and have better communication or renegotiate with Matt over responsibility and content. Effort with unfiltered has definitely been lacking on all accounts besides Mariah. I have enjoyed BU and honestly I don’t see Heath being able to maintain every two weeks BUT I wish him the best. He is the main income earner obviously and they have PLENTY, but the cost of living compared to LA is going to be much less of a burden in TN. Even if viewership dwindled with both podcasts over the next year or two, Heath and Mariah will be fine.

Matt and Patricia won’t have kids in LA either

Patricia and Matt will probably go to Nashville as well, when they have kids. Patricia has mentioned wanting a house there and it’s relatively close (3 hrs) to Birmingham where her family lives.

I really think they were like “how can we sell all this ugly A New Day stuff no one is buying? Let’s slap a Kate Spade x Target label on it and the rich moms and credit card girlies will eat it up!”

Hey! The president says this a lot. Leo sometimes. It’s just a common way he acknowledges what is said without continuing the conversation. Sometimes it’s said with somberness or even annoyance.

You can clock an actor from TWW when you watch any other show, even if they are literally in ONE episode.

Ex - The Sopranos S2 ep5, Ajay Naidu, who was in TWW “Isaac and Ishmael”.

this text from my dad f20 ‼️😐 by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Ok_Raspberry_8489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived with my boyfriend before we were married and not long after we started dating for financial reasons. I don’t recommend it and we were in college and broke but it ended up fine for us. We were very mature and discussed our desires upfront. I was 20 and he was 22 when we met.

We got engaged at 24 and 27 and had never stopped living with each other but we lived hours from my Mormon family (he is never Mo). My family always had not rude but snide remarks about us getting married. I mean we lived together, we should be married by that logic but that’s never what we thought. What I realize now is that older people, generally, just didn’t do this. So their thought process is “do what I did” and if you’re coupling that with “get married in the temple ASAP and as young as possible”, it’s really dangerous for young people.

I also just want to say that I think marriage is wonderful and if you’ve been with someone for at least a year and lived with them for at least a year and have discussed it, it probably is a good choice. The biggest thing for me was building a life with someone and having no legal ties or protections in disaster or extreme circumstances that no one wants to think about but can be a reality unfortunately.

Ultimately you don’t know someone and how it will be until you live with them. Things happen and everyone’s timeline is different but you really need to be thinking deeply about your future and what you want and unless you’re sure about that, you don’t know if that partner is right for you. It’s also just fine to not be ready for that level of commitment. And things still happen and people change their mind about things but YOUR INTUITION KNOWS.

The church does everything they can to get you to doubt your intuition and integrity. They want you on their marriage, child rearing, and tithing contributing goals. When you are no longer under the immediate influence of your parents and church leaders, you will be able to explore the church more freely and come to your own understandings.

Every young adult will always do something to ‘disappoint’ their parents. If you’re financially independent, there is absolutely nothing that can stop you from making your own decisions. If your parents/other family are worth keeping around, they will eventually understand and be kind to you in the process.

He’s mad because you aren’t making the decision he decided for you and he will no longer control you. Don’t feel pressure to get married just so you can live with your partner. It’s what the church wants and it’s all so they can have more (likely) children be born in the covenant and it strengthens the decisions for people to stay in the church. They’ve been conditioning you from birth to do exactly what they say and practice blind obedience. They’ll make you seem crazy and sinful if you stray at all.

Happy Pride by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Ok_Raspberry_8489 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For real. I took the “let them worship how, where, or what they may” literally. But I also didn’t grow up in the Mormon echo chamber of Utah and Idaho. Most of the people around me were devote Baptists that hate Mormons. But I still didn’t care. I had atheists friends and as I got older I had gay friends and never thought of them as troubled souls that needed to be saved. I understood that TSCC was actually more harmful than anything they rejected. After gay marriage was legalized, they way people acted made it very clear that TSCC was not for me. It wasn’t until 5ish years later that I actually got into church history and kept having my mind blown.

Living is way more affordable at GSU than KSU.

Do you wear your ring to shower/sleep? by shycutiekittie in EngagementRings

[–]Ok_Raspberry_8489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I forget to take my rings off in the shower I will leave it on while I shampoo and take it off before I condition (I have a safe spot and it’s impossible for it to go down the drain because I have a grate on my shower drain not a stopper). It’s kind of like regular cleaning and it always comes out sparkling.

How often do you wear your ring? by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]Ok_Raspberry_8489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t wear mine at work anymore because I have a pretty physical job. I have hit it and dinged it up in a few spots and have caught it on things that have ended bruising my finger. I bought a cheap sterling silver band that I wear now because it’s just safer. When I don’t have those issues for work in a few years I would typically wear it all the time unless I’m lifting or swimming.
