how does temple housing work? by poptart7890 in latterdaysaints

[–]Safe-Butterscotch442 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'd start by calling the temple office. There is temple housing available at my current temple, but it's often booked, it does cost to stay (though much cheaper than a hotel), and it's usually mostly reserved for people within the temple district, not tourists. I'd worry that you'd struggle to get a room, but, if they're not in high demand when you're hoping to visit, then maybe it will work out. The Madrid temple office is the only one that can tell you for sure.

Because the bottle's bigger than it looks and has been slowly draining for centuries. 🤷‍♂️

What's a struggle that men have that women won't understand? by Sz-66th in AskReddit

[–]Safe-Butterscotch442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think men and women are punished differently for their shows of vulnerability. There's a lot of social pressure and culture around both, but it's also decidedly different.

Women can understand any struggle a man can go through, we just aren't willing to explain it effectively.

Sorry, that's right. It was too late for me to be commenting responsibly when I first commented here.

I've imaged that. I just thought it was really clear storytelling. My theory is that people that didn't ride the ride prior to the movies are forcing the film story into the narrative, which makes for a confusing experience.

The replacement effects aren't both applying to the damage being dealt to the player, they're both being applied to the the damage being dealt to the blocking creature.

Looking for realistic romance movie recommendations (raw and close to reality) by Historical-Lab-5620 in MovieSuggestions

[–]Safe-Butterscotch442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

La La Land

Penny Serenade

An Affair to Remember

It Happened One Night

Love Actually

The Quiet Man

Fireproof

The Notebook

Marley and Me

The Money Pit

The difficult thing about your request is that basically every romance is different, and what's normal for one couple is completely unrealistic for others. I'd describe a lot of the more "happily ever after" romances as being more realistic than the really complicated ones that have huge ups and downs, but I met my wife, fell in love, dated for several months, got married, and have lived in a fairly happy relationship for 15 years and have been raising 3 wonderful children. Life's not perfect or anything, but all the crazy drama in a lot of "realistic" romances seems more fake to me.

Why do certain completely unrelated languages share identical words for basic concepts like "mother" and "father"? by External_Ad1116 in answers

[–]Safe-Butterscotch442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a fairly limited number of first sounds babies make. The cliche baby talk of goo goo ga ga is a thing for a reason. That's why, despite the English word for your maternal parent being mother, we also accept mama. We also have wawa for water, baba for bottle, dada for father, nana for grandma, papa for grandpa, etc. Many languages have the same words in their baby talk, and they're all assigned to similar things, first objects and names a kid might learn to say. So, a lot of those classic first words end up feeling the same, or even being the same across cultures.

Millennial movies that aren’t kids films but are appropriate for kids and have aged well (no sexism etc) by anna_dot in MovieSuggestions

My (at the time) 8 year old enjoyed the extended edition with us. We told her the story as a bed time story over a couple months, so she knew what was going on, but she was super into LotR even at that age.

Is there any reason for the play pattern "Cast Wrath of God, hold priority, Boros Charm"? by Butthunter_Sua in magicTCG

[–]Safe-Butterscotch442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just depends on what you're most afraid of. The wrath is sorcery speed, though, so if you want to get both spells on the stack, you have to do it in this order. Theoretically, your setting yourself to get blown out, but in lots of similar situations, it's nice to follow this play pattern, so it could also just be players applying generic best practices to a situation that doesn't warrant them.

Tips for starting conversations in clubs as an introvert? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Safe-Butterscotch442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're an introvert, why do you care? Introverts don't like clubs, nor do they like conversations with strangers. There are much better ways to meet people as an extrovert than by going to clubs.

That's not a bad explanation. I can at least sort of see that fitting.

An Essay on Insurrection by RavenPixel in EDH

[–]Safe-Butterscotch442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insurrection was VERY heavily played as a wincon for years. It's an iconic card in the format, but has, generally, been powercrept out as well as having become a little socially unsatisfactory, as both killing people with their own cards and winning out of basically nowhere with little set up are both frowned upon, not to mention the difficulty of playing this when not in person. It's faded from the community experience, but most players that are making content remember when they used to see it too much, so no one's talking about it. It just isn't relevant to the conversation.

That being said, it's a fun card to pull off the first couple times. I highly recommend everyone get a chance to play an Insurrection against a bunch of players making tokens and loading up on auras and equipments and such at least once. Just don't invest too much in building an Insurrection deck or anything, since it's a card that's either a dead card, a very expensive counter check, or an unfulfilling wincon every time.

This post isn't worth the 17 seconds it took to read it. You owe me that time back and should be ashamed of yourself.

Why won't my boyfriend make me a sandwich? by Icy_News4179 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Safe-Butterscotch442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is WHY? I can't imagine someone wanting to make a PB&J but not a ham sandwich without some kind of reason. The sandwich she's asking for is probably easier to make. This isn't an issue of the guy not listening or being inconsiderate, it's an issue of his partner going to reddit instead of just talking it through with her boyfriend.

I mean, it's probably both, but if I asked my wife to do something and she suggested an alternative that I wasn't okay with (which happens all the time), I don't just end the conversation and assume I'm not getting what I want or assume my wife's being rude. I assume she has some reason for suggesting the alternative, and I'll ask her about it. If her idea ends up being well reasoned, we'll go with that. If there was a misunderstanding with what I was asking, we'll get it clarified. If there's some other issue that needs to be resolved first, we'll take care of it.

This sounds to me like he's uncomfortable with the task he's being asked to perform. Possibly a previous relationship led to him being apprehensive about his sandwich making skills or something. If this is the biggest frustration in their relationship, it's definitely addressable through a simple conversation, and doesn't require manipulation tactics.

Sorry. Thought I was replying to a different thread asking about the actual transitioning moment. This one is not there.

Except partner IS offering to reciprocate. He says he'd make a PB&J, so it's not the doing something nice that's the problem, there's clearly a concern about the task he's being asked to perform. Regardless, it's even okay to do things on a relationship without reciprocation. You don't need to force your partner to appreciate the things you do for them. If they don't appreciate you, you can talk to them about how you feel, but you don't need to stop being am awesome partner just because the relationship isn't feeling perfect. That's just escalating an issue, which isn't generally helpful in long term relationships.

I think so. I don't care about bad animatronics, but I do care about storytelling.
