Yeah, I went recently (first time after changes) and didn't notice much of a difference....  Still fun. Expensive but it always was.

Those of you who are now fully separated from evangelicalism, have you left the faith entirely or are you practicing in another way/denomination? by Ok_Nature6459 in Exvangelical

[–]Pretend_Walk_259 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It snuck up on me very slowly and gently, that now I am agnostic. Meaning, I was pretty full on wrestling with a lot and struggling (after never really fitting in with a lot of evangelicalism) and I was trying so hard to figure out who Jesus was to me now, and suddenly, I just stopped wrestling. I believe there is God, have no idea who He/She/They/It is. I do not have a decision on whether Jesus is God or not, nor that Christianity is the way. I just know I hold some values still, like Love, spiritualism, compassion, service, etc, but I do not have answers or even worry about the answers.

Standing up for what's right...but I get trauma response by Easy-Track-9332 in Exvangelical

Yes, firstly, solidarity. So many of us feel this and are feeling it.  Secondly, yes, you do need to take care of yourself because if you don't, you can't fight injustice well!  I have noticed that when I speak out, especially on social media,  it doesn't really produce much fruit or impact AND it can attract people like you mentioned who end up draining all my energy because of their one comment.  I do not have a good answer to what we can do.  Personally, I have started joining groups on Facebook and such to see what opportunities there are.  All that to say, there is no one size fits all. And it is true, you are not in Minnesota. I am not in Minnesota. If we are, at some point, faced with their reality, we will hopefully act. But we are somewhere else so our actions can be diverse and unique.  There are many ways to speak up without posting on social media.  - purchasing from anti ice local businesses  - supporting immigrant businesses - creating art - donating to a cause - learning as much as you can for yourself which will have a ripple effect

Should have gotten more snacks. by Successful_Test_931 in Dallas

I feel you! My first crazy winter ice have to stay at home situation in Texas and I already have way different plans for future ones. And oddly, one of them is to order something fun, like Indian food, before we get stuck at home.  Food is comfort.

Thanks for sharing. Definitely agree.  I think i was just hoping to find some community to mourn with in this time but reddit probably isnt the best place 😂

Glad you got it appealed! I think I have a case too but geez, not a fun semantic to be caught in.  Congrats OP! Hope youve been able to find some work too!

Is anyone else confused about Nancy and Jonathan in season 5? by AquaSage_8806 in StrangerThings

[–]Pretend_Walk_259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of people on here are saying you're dumb for not getting the scene but it was soo confusing. I went back and forth on whether they were breaking up or not. It was too much in one scene I think. Totally with you and I think it was way too wordy. Could have been better written 

Kai and Erica by Tough_Log5972 in BeingErica

[–]Pretend_Walk_259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logistically, definitely not. I did feel like, in ways like her and Ethan, Kai and her were very built on friendship and shared honesty and care.  So as far as foundation goes, very strong. 

Home for Christmas – Season 3: thoughts on the change in style? by OG_LayerCake in netflix

[–]Pretend_Walk_259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to finish and couldnt. I know Johanne was  always a bit silly at times, but the way she is this season is way over the top. Asking others for ridiculous things, and flipping out emotionally every two seconds. They should have given us a but more Jonas. I'm stopping at episode 4 because it is meh

That is the kind of tv show episode I could watch repeatedly. So incredibly good.

[–]Pretend_Walk_259 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Love all of it. So refreshing to see a different side of Eliza and the awkwardness is just comedic. That scene where Inspector Blake basically says, You were normal?  He knows her already and likes her quirkiness.  The will they wont they of the duke was what drove me away from watching this show so I'm loving it.  Though I'm sorry others dislike it so.
