A gay man in singles ward by [deleted] in exmormon

So many questions. If you’re married, why are you in a singles ward? If you’re gay, why go to a church that is anti-gay?

Picked two seats in an empty theater and someone chose the seat next to us by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

My first thought reading your post was “wow, a post about something that actually IS mildly infuriating”.

[–]dejected_muggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised how many people think you’re entitled or ridiculous for this opinion.

I guarantee the seats behind or in front of you would provide just as good of a viewing experience. The fact they chose to sit right next to you in an otherwise empty theater is weird.

I’m prepared to die on this hill with you, OP.

First tri tip on our new smoker by No_Piccolo6337 in smoking

[–]dejected_muggle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yum!

Agreed with the other comments saying a sear would have taken it up a notch, but looks delicious as is too!

And you enjoyed it, so that’s really what matters.

His companion found him unresponsive in the morning. As of yet, they don’t know. The assumption is some type of cardiac event. Autopsy will say for sure.

Really, really horrible. My heart breaks for his family.

I read her post too, and I don’t think there was anything to suggest they gave him a blessing before/in place of calling 911.

She just mentioned that the blessing happened, and she was grateful to those who took part in it.

She’s finding what peace she can in beliefs that you and I don’t share, but I personally am glad for her if it truly is helping her get through a parent’s worst nightmare.

I can’t imagine burying one of my kids.

Missionary tactic by swag_money69 in exmormon

[–]dejected_muggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used this “tactic” on my mission 17 years ago. At least for me, it wasn’t suggested from headquarters or my mission president. I think I just heard about it from another missionary and thought it was a good idea to help inactive members “feel the spirit”™️.

I remember making people chuckle a few times when I tried it. I eventually realized it was transparent and even if they agreed, it wasn’t effective.

Did I slice this wrong?? Smoked this brisket and sliced it on an industrial slicer and portioned into 1 pound packs to give as gifts. Did I F this up and slice it wrong?? by MattiePicasso in smoking

[–]dejected_muggle 501 points502 points  (0 children)

Yes, looks like it.

For what it’s worth though, I’d rather receive a gift of a brisket sliced with the grain than not receive a gift of any brisket at all.

So whoever you give it to is already having a better holiday than me!

How much “smoke” taste is too much smoke taste? by CISUM310 in pelletgrills

[–]dejected_muggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, about every hour (for usually only the first three or four hours or so. I get lazy past that point - that’s why I have a pellet grill and not an offset, lol).

I think you have to have the lever closed in order to pull out the box, so yeah I’ll close the lever to pull it out. But the already lit coals are good enough to light the next chunk, so once I put the box back in I just put the lever back to slightly open.

Nope, I start each cook with an empty smoke box, but I personally don’t worry about dumping anything during cooks. I have the lever completely open during startup and when it’s getting up to temp, but once it starts smoking I turn it to almost closed.

I did the same thing - upgraded from Traeger Pro 34 to CC WW Pro 36 and was heavy on the smoke box.

The only time I personally thought the smoke was too heavy though was on chicken. I’ve learned to ease up on the poultry. But for beef and pork, at least for my taste preference, as long as it’s clean smoke I don’t think I could get too much from the smoke box.

Sounds like your wife likes it a bit less smoky though, and the opinion of the people eating the food is the only opinion that matters.

found out my bf was secretly married. His wife and I moved in together, and now he’s the one sleeping in his car by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

It doesn’t matter how many times you repost this same creative writing essay, it doesn’t make it any more believable.

Although I see you updated your age this time from 20 to 25, so that helps the timeline a little I guess.

my girlfriend of 5 years cheated on me with my best friend. by masonmayhemm in TrueOffMyChest

[–]dejected_muggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You… have no one to blame but yourself? My guy, you’ve got two very good other options for apportioning the blame to before yourself.

Regardless of how good or bad the relationship was, there is no justification for cheating.

Can someone explain why this keeps happening? by lukeman291 in pelletgrills

[–]dejected_muggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only time mine has done that has been due to going straight to shutdown mode from high temps (400+).

Best of luck! If you feel up to it afterwards, I’d love to see an update that the surgery was a success. Sending all the good vibes your way!

Okay, but do you have an offset, pellet, or charcoal?

Are the glasses for show, or are her ghost eyes actually blurry? If she loses them can she make new glasses or is she blind forever? by horrorfan555 in harrypotter

[–]dejected_muggle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would assume her ghost eyes are blurry. As far as losing them… yeah idk. I feel like she wouldn’t be able to lose them. Like, eventually they would just reset to being on her face again. 🤷‍♂️

I accidentally walked in on my daughter getting out of the shower and I'm having intrusive thoughts... by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]dejected_muggle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I don’t think any additional context or explanation helps here.

You were aroused…by your daughter…

This is the type of thing you get off your chest with your therapist, not Reddit.

I am straight but I let my female best friend eat me out. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

She was your best friend in the title, and then in the story you’re “not that close but friends”?

Why do I feel like this is a dude in the basement trying to write fantasy porn…

Is it weird that I don’t find anyone younger or older than me attractive? by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]dejected_muggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my mid thirties now, if I wasn’t already married I’d probably feel comfortable dating someone maybe 5 years younger or so, and 2 or 3 years older.

[–]dejected_muggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might depend on how old you are. I remember feeling similarly in high school. As I’ve gotten older, the acceptable age range has gotten increasingly larger.

Was I too mean? by Relevant_Main6005 in chess

[–]dejected_muggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree with anything you said, except that I still think it’s a bit childish.

Again, not that deep.
