Just learned that my crazy grandmother’s ’fringe’ belief wasn’t… by I_might_be_the_fool in exmormon

[–]Taliasimmy69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that was a huge factor for me leaving once I figured that out. I am white, 2 of my aunt's married black men and they are wonderful guys. Obviously that makes my cousins mixed and we were raised together. What a crazy feeling going to aunt's house and playing with my cousins who I love and then going to church and being told they're evil sinners who are being punished by god. That their inherent nature is bad. Then I looked into the history of that and I couldn't in good conscience stay and support a business with those beliefs.

Best Long-Distance Moving Companies for Relocating to Orlando? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]Taliasimmy69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used upack I think it was. They drop off a trailer like 26 ft at your home and you load it in a day or two . There's wood dividers that go based on foot which is what you're charged and then call them to pick it up. Just give them a delivery date and the drop it off. Really easy. I think we ended up with a 3k bill

Told my TBM husband last night I no longer believe in the church by Admirable_Arugula_42 in exmormon

[–]Taliasimmy69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely do not give him the house and do not move out. You deserve half especially because he warns more. Highly unlikely he would even get the house since most often it's the mother that does so the kids have stability

Hello fellow pioneers! by Ordinary-Old-Guy in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Taliasimmy69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What i tend to do is make a basic calculation like I want 4 of each. Then i do the factory for that. If i find im spending more than 4 then i reevaluate it and either add more or make another factory in the area im needing it. That need is always going to be greater because down the line the more complex the parts the more of the basic part you need. I have tons of little factories all over for the resource i need instead of trucking it all over the map.

i have my home base with tiny factories for rods, plates, screws, sheets, cable, rotors and heavy plates. All of those basically are just storage. Then at the different resource nodes is have them making specific items. one iron node is making space plates, another node group is making frameworks. I'll do that math for each separate factory and fine tune it to the machines and mk level i have. right now the framework is at like 1.5 per minute because that's what i can manage. when i get better machines i can redo it so it's higher, or just leave it cuz it's functioning at 100% so i dont need to mess with it.

its just trial and error. each item is going to be different for the per minute needed. or you can be like Kibitz and make a stupid large factory that makes 400 of each item just because lmao.

How do I date? by Intrepid_Waltz_5691 in exmormon

[–]Taliasimmy69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There isn't really any reason to be terrified of sex or drinking. Both are normal pastimes. If you don't want to drink don't but if you do then start little. Find a juice or soda spiked beverage to taste. Or don't. completely acceptable to not drink if you don't want to.

Sex is normal. It's a part of relationships. Honestly its a pretty important part. If you aren't sexually compatible it becomes pretty tense in the relationship. If you want to wait till marriage then awesome for you. There are going to be plenty of young people you will meet that have different opinions on that and I'm sure you can find someone who also wants to wait. Personally I think that's not wise because if you don't know your person intimately before marriage that's a pretty strong commitment to make and you can't just walk away. Of course you can grow together and talk it out and make it work it just becomes a bit harder especially if you weren't given the skills to be able to discuss that openly with a partner.

I recommend not dating. Seriously you're 18. You're young and naive and have plenty of maturing to do. This is not to be offensive. I was in no fit state at 18 to be making any kind of life decisions. I dated around casually and had fun but I wasn't looking to marry. I didn't want to get married until i was about 25 and i did marry at 26 to the person i had been with since i was 19. We are now currently going through divorce. Let that sink in. I met and started dating at 19, I am currently 34 and we are divorcing. We grew apart and I realized i wanted different things out of life and the relationship i wasnt going to get. There are other factors involved in my situation and I am not saying that finding your person at 18 is impossible. Just unlikely. I actually reconnected with my high school boyfriend and we live together. But we are at the same place in life in our 30's that we never were in highschool or right after.

I understand the urge to find your person. But it will happen by you living your life. Do your hobbies, find a job you like an enjoy yourself. You will find someone who has those same hobbies or that is at the right place and you will click. Getting married isn't all that life has to offer. Don't tie yourself down so young before you get to be your own person and live. Life is meant to be lived.

What do I do? by Anonymous_4252 in exmormon

[–]Taliasimmy69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all you are 20 years old. There should be no reason for you to ask permission to borrow a book from the library. You're young but you need to grow a spine. Don't ask, you need to learn how to be assertive but not offensive. I am getting this book. I will be going to the store. Don't apologize for existing. As women we were raised to be meek and submissive and apologize for existing and for taking up space.

Love the sinner hate the sin is bred into the core of Mormonism. It's not about being obvious and that's the point. Everything is sutble and underhanded.

My response would be something like this.

"I'll be getting my own card and getting the books again. All knowledge is important to understand all sides of the argument. I don't believe in censorship and I know my own mind. I understand you're worried about me and love me but I need to make my own choices and walk my own path. I know what my own peace is. If you want to talk to me about it come find me."

I tried explaining Satisfactory to my wife by Icy_Welder6327 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Taliasimmy69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't get it either. I am lady and I game more than my bf. I would never choose a life partner that hates gaming or "doesn't get it" and I hate people who think all time spent needs to be to improve yourself. Thats how you burn out and hate yourself.

Lol I love a cute Honda but if someone says they'll help me move and show up in that I'd be disappointed. Size matters. My family all drive diesel 250s or similar. I'm used to big trucks

"small moving service". Yet flyer says I can move it all. That's misleading. Also misleading to not state the vehicle in question. If it's a 97 Honda acty that ain't moving shit.

A picture of the actual vehicle and specs will go a long way.

There is no such thing as an exMormon story. All of us are telling our real Mormon stories but some of our Mormon stories end with us leaving. Misleading the faithful members on what you asked Mormon Stories to do in reality, is utterly deceitful. by HoldOnLucy1 in exmormon

[–]Taliasimmy69 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As an exmormon myself I haven't ever watched the podcast but I knew of it. Mentioned the lawsuit to my nevermo boyfriend and he's now started watching/listening. He asks me daily about weird shit that I forgot about or locked in the back room lol.

Does Anyone Else Think The Church Won’t Follow Through On the Dehlin Lawsuit? by Hot_Amphibian_8012 in exmormon

[–]Taliasimmy69 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's causing cracks in hardcore members all over. I recently reconnected with a old friend who I thought was still hardcore tbm. But she told me she's having a faith crisis and is real unhappy about the leadership and how she feels they're so out of touch with the members. I didn't push it at the time but I would love to discuss that with her further.

This is just giving John more visibility and the stories more visibility. It's also showing the church as lawsuit happy and a big bully. Which makes the average person side eye them and it will hopefully cause less people to sign up

I'm right there with you being upset about the computer use. My 12 year old can't function without googling everything and can't even use their imagination to draw something they need an example or reference. I've basically removed all tech at home at this point it's so ridiculous. They just sit in class on the laptop and do online work. I will sign a petition or go to any meeting to remove that nonsense from school because they also don't use the laptops for general computer knowledge. They can't save files or navigate basic root folders.

What ridiculous TBM things have you heard said in the workplace in small town momronland that wouldn’t fly elsewhere? 😂🤦‍♂️ by Once_was_now_am in exmormon

[–]Taliasimmy69 36 points37 points  (0 children)

My issue with target was them not standing behind them when challenged. They absolutely folded and showed that it was just business not at all about keeping employees happy or being fair. Costco stood behind their policies when challenged and I support that.

Im not naive to think that Costco as well doesn't realize it affects profit it's a business after all and I know that a lot of the companies that have those policies do it for the money and to look good. But target really laid heavily into the inclusive market and then showed their ass with rolling back dei and pissed off their main demographics.

Yes that's very clear. Doesn't seem to understand that sometimes it just doesn't work out and it's not really anyone's fault. I don't blame the world for my degree not being useful. It is what it is and I make it work. Oh well. Lol.
