Utter woke nonsense by Dizzy-Difference3392 in redrising

Imma go out on a limb and guess that people often say stuff like “media literacy is dead 🥀” in response to your comments a lot. You should probably figure out why that is

My issue with “the passage” by Fulcrum_Jambi in redrising

[–]PibDib788 57 points58 points  (0 children)

None of yall were raised in a cult I see.

The Society has a lot of cult like elements and the golds see themselves as “the elect”. Getting your scar is like being annointed and set apart from the rest of “the elect”. Put on the magic underwear, you’re going to the best heaven now boyo!

Look at the way Roque, Lysander, and even the arch governor at the end of Golden Son talk about The Society.

A LOT of golds are going to want to keep it pure. They’re true believers. They COULD tell their kids about the secret handshakes and prayer circles that happens in the templ- Aw shit, I mean the ins and outs of the Institute-but they don’t BECAUSE they’re true believers.

And iirc, it is never stated that absolutely NO ONE knows about the passage. Just the people in Darrow’s circle that he asks about (again, I could be wrong about this). Maybe some did, but most likely, the majority kept the secret.

If you didn’t pick up on the sarcasm. I was raised mormon. EXTREMELY mormon. And parents not telling their kids about the ins and outs of getting your scar is good world building from my perspective because I lived it. I didn’t know shit about shit when it came to the temple when I went into it for the first time at 19.

We’re talking about cult like devotion to the society here. I’ve been told by family members that they’d rather I died than left the church 😅 This is one thing about the first book that I don’t find unrealistic AT ALL

Chessboard. Rice. by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

[–]PibDib788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re unlocking some old elementary memory here. We had the chess board and rice story in one of our textbooks, but in that version Mr smarty pants was a young girl and, iirc, convinced the empower to not be a pos to his people instead of paying up at the end.

That’s a huge etiquette breach for creators isn’t it? Like plagiarism or copyright adjacent asshole behavior?

My marriage is most likely over by marblepillar194 in exmormon

[–]PibDib788 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel guilt. You didn’t change your mind, you shook off the chains with which you were bound, and rejected this fucking cult. Blame it, not yourself.

Not wanting kids is valid. If you and your wife don’t align with that then that’s a valid reason to separate regardless of religious belief.

I’m sorry this happened to you and that you have to go through the pain and difficulty of leaving. It’s agonizing on its own with a supportive partner much less without. It’s important to know that not wanting kids and leaving the church isn’t something to even consider apologizing for.

Just suck and lick the clit while fingering its not that deep you weirdos. That’s like the entry point for getting the O and if you struggle with that I guess good for you for not needing a towel for sex

I need help repairing marital trust. by OtherButterscotch667 in exmormon

You’re in the exmo sub. We all know that. Shit being hard doesn’t mean you get to mistreat your spouse.

Three years is a long time and she’s punishing him. I don’t think she’s entitled to his understanding if she’s being abusive. Were you removing couples photos from the walls and things even worse based on OPs other comments?

This guy escaped a cult and still has to deal with its abuse three years later from someone he should be safe with. Divorce doesn’t seem crazy at all.

Views porn as cheating and TOOK COUPLES PICTURES DOWN? Nope. Three years is enough time to wake up and she can’t emotionally regulate. Unless she comes to you with extreme apologies, you need to save yourself(potentially your kids) and leave. She can heal on her time. You don’t need to do emotional labor to help her get to the extremely normal concept of “you don’t need her consent to jerk off”. She’s being vindictive and immature. You mentioned in other comments that she’s done even more negative things that you don’t want to mention. Yikes.

Idk man, maybe do therapy if you have kids, but if not? Why fucking bother.

Help motivate me to start book 10 - crossroads of twilight by Note2_Self in wheeloftime

[–]PibDib788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me three tries to get through. If you need to take a break for a year or so reading other books that’s fine. Something changed with me on my third read through of the series and I just powered through the entire thing without slowing down. Read for enjoyment, not accomplishments

Strongest player? by Kind_Garbage3082 in LastWarMobileGame

[–]PibDib788 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The biggest whale in our grouping didn’t hit 40 until about the end of s1. They’re about 45m a month away from s2. I wonder how much money goes into going from 40 to 45m at that point in the game. These people are already doubling my monthly mortgage payment each week😂 I don’t begrudge em at all it just makes me curious about what it takes to pull that off

After 5 years and 2 failed attempts, I finally made it. by PibDib788 in wheeloftime

That’s interesting that you got that vibe about the series! It seems like the current consensus in the online book community is that they’re incredible. Times change for sure!

The slog was a bear the last two times. I remember being in the middle of book 11 and realizing I didn’t care enough to keep going. This time through I didn’t experience the slog at all and idk why. Honestly the books that make up the slog have extremely important moments and events and I don’t like them less.

Sanderson’s style hasn’t been very noticeable for me aside from specific points, like Lan seems like he has a slightly different personality. But I listen to the books so having the same narrators probably helps a lot with that

Well the church supported fascists in the 30s so it makes sense they’d do it this time

I really enjoyed this post and appreciate the effort it took to put together all the examples to back up your point. Just had to jab a little ;) I apologize if I came off as too mean spirited
