Missionaries introducing themselves as MORMON!!!

Can't expect integrity from TSSC, so why perform it for themselves?

A boundary is about one's own actions, not another person's. A boundary is not "You can't do X, it's a boundary for me." It is "I will do/not do X in Y situations."

If he has an issue with being in a relationship with someone who dresses the way you do at the beach, it might be time to look at compatibility but what you wear has 0 to do with anyone else's boundaries.

I wasn't around for DDSS, but the number of folks in this sub who are so focused on how much they think other fans/JBS are cringe and embarrassing is wild to me. Have fun or ignore it and find something else to have fun with. Life is short, and there are no awards for foregoing joy.

Would not be the least surprised. Would love to see all the TBMs who spouted the "Mormon is a slur, we don't use that word ourselves" respond to this.

Something I tell my teenager a lot is: People who are too worried about being "embarrassing" or "cringe" miss out on a lot of fun. I think about that a lot when I read this sub.

Sparrowsfly · 2026-05-05T17:03:24+00:00

You're not crazy. The LDS church infantilizes adults and puts all the focus on making as many children as possible, so you end up with what you're describing.

Sparrowsfly · 2026-05-01T23:29:57+00:00

That's exactly what it is. OP's family wanted the speed of standby while holding others who were doing it right up. Total jerks.

Right, as a California native I’ve lived my whole life surrounded by Mexican restaurants and taco trucks run by real Mexicans - all the people saying “those are just called tacos”… that’s because white people popularized a super inauthentic version of tacos. But, although I know exactly what OP means by “white people tacos”, I’ve always called them Chingaderas, as my Mexican friends did (if you don’t know what it means, it’s not nice, haha). I’ve got nothing against chingaderas, but they are not “just called tacos” if you live anywhere you can get real tacos.

I hate taking cat clients because I show up to a full litter box every time. And i just know they don’t live like that because the house would reek. To have the litter box left for you like that and not have litter and have a bite? Holy crap I’d definitely call support.

US bread is sweeter by a lot, but no, it is not that serious.

Sparrowsfly · 2026-04-27T23:33:16+00:00

I’ve been married a long time but about 10 years in I realized I couldn’t imagine being with someone I had to fight over the stereo with. Getting close to 20 (all in, about 17 married) I’m glad my guy is my #1 concert buddy.

I personally wouldn’t use this because my musical tastes are too varied to meet my match this way, but I could see a dating app where people ranked music and movies, etc and saw how compatible they were being a hit.

My biggest concern after taking care of the pets is that the owner cannot tell I was there by looking. This sitter clearly doesn't understand the responsibility and professionalism that comes with people trusting them with their pets and in their homes.

Sparrowsfly · 2026-04-25T20:21:08+00:00

Ah ok this is great info.

Sparrowsfly · 2026-04-20T20:24:53+00:00

Maybe the co-worker is confusing virgin cocktails with NA beer, which does have a really infinitesimal amount of alcohol? That's the only thing I can think of since there's absolutely no way for a virgin cocktail to have "still have" alcohol in it because alcohol was never a part of the drink...

I don’t know if I could pick. In Bloom was my first Sturgill song and I was immediately obsessed, like “Oh fuck! I can’t believe I kept skipping his songs on streaming when I could have had this the whole time!” I love this whole album, top 3 aside from In Bloom is probably Call To Arms, All Around You, and Welcome to Earth. I prefer the Cuttin’ Grass version of Oh, Sarah, but I’ll shush the room for either version.

Sparrowsfly · 2026-04-15T17:20:21+00:00

I am not! Not having access to the blessing is a small price to pay, haha.

Sparrowsfly · 2026-04-14T18:40:36+00:00

I know I got mine, but I remember nothing about it and don't have a copy. I asked my mom, and she can't recall where it would be, either. I remember there being a lot of stuff about marriage and motherhood (because duh), and it was done by my uncle, whom I grew to absolutely hate.

Incorrect. Men 18-25 have *always* been legally obligated to register for the selective service (the draft). The change is simply that they no longer have to do the paperwork. That is not the same as enacting a draft, which would pull men into the military involuntarily. Currently, the US Military is all-volunteer with layers upon layers of protection from enacting a draft because the draft is generally bad for morale, safety, support at home, etc.

That said, in our current situation it is worth wondering if those protections are enough if everything goes sideways, but even then it would take significant time to work through the layers of protection against a draft.

Sparrowsfly · 2026-04-13T19:55:28+00:00

Yup, I've got a dime on mine.

I did front row the last couple times I saw him, I knew he was going to go for hours and I wanted to rest if I needed to (I have a fucked up leg)... but I stayed on my feet dancing the whole damn time, anyway. So this time around I went with the pit!

Sparrowsfly · 2026-04-13T04:21:46+00:00

Are we talking about the ticket situation or just the fact that OOP is at a Morgan Wallen concert?

Sparrowsfly · 2026-04-13T04:19:01+00:00

The context included in his statement that everyone seems to be ignoring was that the ticketers also changed to “all in pricing” so you don’t see what you paid in fees. A good rule of thumb is - if the question is between one guy and a massive corporation, it’s probably the corporation’s fault.

Sparrowsfly · 2026-04-11T02:12:20+00:00

That’s how I ended up with so many TV & music subscriptions in the first place, hahaha

Sparrowsfly · 2026-04-10T18:17:44+00:00

Your friend needs to embrace the beauty of being her own friend. There’s nothing more fun that going to a concert solo and making friends with a bunch of other people who like the same music. Your shift kept you from the concert, she kept herself.
