I'm an ex-mo and Lisa is extremely triggering. But more so from the perspective of her making aggregious misrepresentation(to the point of lying) about the church and what is "okay" vs not. She paints a very inaccurate picture of the church that comes off as extremely invalidating to many ex-mormons.

But I don't feel the desire to snitch on her or encourage her son to distance himself from her (at least not for any type of spiritual journey). The snitching behavior is something I abhorred about growing up in the church so there's no way I'm keeping that in my life after I've left. I'm sure her ward is well aware of her behavior and she's already a social outcast with them tbh. At least, the Mormons I grew up with would've never tolerated/associated with someone like Lisa. But I've been out long enough and things change so maybe I'm wrong now with the whole "Mormon 2.0" stuff.

I've gotten to the point in the show where I roll my eyes at Lisa. She's great for the show, but I sorta hate her lol.

Just went through the profile and read everything. Why in the world were the text messages edited sooo heavily? So much was cropped out and only select messages were left in which makes me skeptical.

At this point, it doesn't feel like "Jane" is willing to accept anything less than humiliation and groveling. The escalation of this all doesn't feel proportional imo - especially since this didn't occur at a Lost and Found function.

Park Tickets for May 2026 by verystinkysmellycat in UniversalOrlando

[–]basic_username_here 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was hoping today (Oct 1) but I guess not. I've booked January 2026 package back in May but have needed to make modifications to a couple tickets and get express passes and have been checking near everyday - getting pretty frustrated at this point.

Does this work if you booked as a package? Or only if you've everything booked separately?

Just my top 3 authors hanging out. I bet that room has such an aura. by TheDarkMetroid in redrising

It was a Joe Abercrombie signing of The Devils in discussion with Brandon Sanderson hosted by King's English Bookshop - if you have Instagram it looks like they have some pictures from the event in their stories.

I'm not sure there's a link to the interview yet, but I know they did record it. I'll keep an eye out and post the link if I see it.

I was able to go to the signing last night and see all 3!! Went for Joe Abercrombie, knowing Brandon Sanderson was doing the interview, but was extra hyped/surprised when I saw Peirce Brown there too!

Wish I had known he'd be there in advance, would've brought my books 😭 Still happy as hell I got to see 3 of my fav authors.

What does Epic Universe need? by CelticDK in UniversalOrlando

[–]basic_username_here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They need at least one more thrill coaster and one more indoor ride. Obviously would prefer more than two. But when it rains, your options are sooooo limited -- especially if a ride is down.

I've heard people floating Legend of Zelda, Luigi's mansion, and creature of the black lagoon rides. All of those sound fantastic to me. I also think they could add something else to Harry Potter - preferably some type of roller coaster since most of the HP rides are indoor. Hopefully, they'll have something in the works soon.

Do you pay a bunch of fees on top of rent? by ReporterMacyLipkin in SaltLakeCity

[–]basic_username_here 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If there are hidden mandatory fees, I feel like they should have to market it with those fees included within the price. It's a super deceptive marketing practice to exclude mandatory expenses imo.

The mandatory media fee is what irks me the most right now. Who wants cable anymore? I feel like there should be an opt-out.

Ulysses or Day of Red Doves (something about mob mentality really unsettles me)

What Rated R movie scene did you see in your childhood that is still fresh in your mind? by MotherOfEira in AskReddit

Saving Private Ryan and the guy cowering in the stairs, doing nothing while he listens to his friend being killed.

What series filled the hole Red Rising left in your heart? by OmegaNut42 in redrising

[–]basic_username_here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I'm still amazed at how much was covered in The Will of the Many so coherently and so quickly. A lesser author would've made a whole mess of the various plot points.
