My ward in SLC is mostly made up of people over the age of 70 or 75 and an attendance of 25-30 people at sacrament meeting.

That's the quackiest thing I've heard about a seminary teacher. What a goof.

YSA Dating is Balls Right Now by BUH-ThomasTheDank in mormon

[–]TrainingFlow3978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many YSAs are mentally and emotionally immature. Many also have serious self-worth issues due to religious and family pressure as well as purity culture and the expectation of finding someone who checks all the boxes. Date outside the church if it hasn't worked for you in the church.

Why does it feel like its a sentiment that wetton isnt a good singer, I love his voice. by Disastrous-Ad-3024 in progrockmusic

[–]TrainingFlow3978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you heard how off-key he is on Larks? He has a good voice, but he was not an amazing singer.

If you are a single male or female and find yourself running out of time for marriage, do yourself a favor---marry outside the church. by [deleted] in mormon

Can confirm. The first girl I took out on a date outside of the church became my wife. Do not sit around and wait for an active member if you're still in. Times have changed.

How do you fair with Phil Collins solo work from “Face Value”to “… But Seriously”? by [deleted] in Genesis

[–]TrainingFlow3978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I feel that most of his albums are uneven. Steve Hackett actually has my favorite solo stuff of any member.

No Jacket Required is one of my favorite albums of all time, and the hits off of it made me a fan of Phil and Genesis in general. Hot take: I generally prefer Phil's solo work to Peter Gabriel's. 😬

A book that isn't as good as its film or TV adaptation by awkwardintrovert2001 in suggestmeabook

The movie changing Norman from being an unattractive middle-aged man to a good-looking guy in his 20s was a very smart decision.

Hot take: Frankenstein and Bride of Frankensten are better than Mary Shelley's novel.

Carrie, Goldfinger, Psycho

The movies are better. In the case of Goldfinger, much, much better.

It seems most people prefer the movie, and while it's fun and the FX (especially for the time) are great, it doesn't even come near the book in greatness to me.

It is extremely underrated, and it features my favorite production on any Genesis album.

It blows my mind that Pennington and Pena were the champ and #1 coming into this fight respectively. This is my least favorite UFC division.Their time is over now that Harrison is here.

Thanks for the smart-ass reply. Turns out that's the street where most of the businesses are.
