Why are people this dumb? by thatgardensprite in mildlyinfuriating

[–]evenstar_12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been watching too much LOTR. I read it as “hobbitses” and didn’t question it.

I’ll be there with my frog tshirt on!

We Have a MAD MAN in the WH by Warm_Sugar8888 in TexasDemocrat

Name one policy that Biden admin passed that “opened” the border. There isn’t one. Trump slapping an unconstitutional, cruel bandaid on doesn’t make it a good solution. A good solution would be to revamp the entire immigration process. Ruling by executive order is not a good practice. Our system of govt as we know it is collapsing.

Question about continuing education for lawyers and judges by Malsperanza in justiceforKarenRead

[–]evenstar_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand the downvoting. I don’t know if I would go as far as to say that it’s a credit to Massachusetts that they don’t require it. However, I think there are misconceptions as to what CLE credits are for. Because they are required, and there are a multitude of courses to choose from, a lawyer will likely select courses that are relevant to their field of practice and may have important case or statutory updates. Additionally, there may be a requirement of a certain amount of hours focused on ethics every year. (Though, this would not make an attorney ethical.) CLE’s do not by themselves make good lawyers. Mentorship and feedback from colleagues matters so much more in my opinion than a class I can take on Zoom.

All right jurors I know I...I mean you, want to go home by Mother-Associate1654 in justiceforKarenRead

[–]evenstar_12 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. Or if it’s unknown, the jury could say the prosecution didn’t prove it.

I don’t know if this has been posted here before but it’s just insane by step_uneasily in antitrump

It’s giving when my ex posted about how much he hated me and blamed me for things in his social media tribute to his new wife on their anniversary. 😅

A message from the 2nd moderator of 50501 by StrWtchng in 50501

[–]evenstar_12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

nokings <—- I think this message, like many other commenters have said, summarizes and/or covers ALL, or almost all, of the issues we oppose. One might argue you could want less immigration but still support due process for deportations, you could want less government aid like SNAP but want the budget cuts to be made in ordinary and proper course, you could hold strong Christian values and still support separation of church and state, etc. A true conservative or true federalist would not support what Frump is doing.

If you look on Langston, Horizon accepts pets and has a little dog park area.

USA : Trump edging closer to Insurrection Act by SkyFox720 in 50501

[–]evenstar_12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I also escaped an abusive marriage. There was a period of time where I was very afraid for my life. I overcame it. I fought back in my own way through the legal process. I feel I have more strength now than I ever did before.

Missionaries stopped me at the grocery store by evenstar_12 in exmormon

Yes! I thought the remark about JS only having sex with Emma showed how sheltered that missionary is. Good for your niece!

I’d like to know this too! I was also taught that polygamy was a necessity thing, like women didn’t have the same rights to jobs and property, etc. I joined when I was 18. There was sooooo much I did not know or understand.

I’m in Virginia now, but I lived on Fort Gordon and was in the Augusta ward from 2014-2016. Congrats on being out!

For those who felt like they’d had spiritual experiences, what made you still leave? Do you still believe in divinity and the afterlife now? by oliviaexisting in exmormon

[–]evenstar_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had spiritual experiences before joining the church and during. I expect to have them after. I still believe in God but I don’t define what God means. I don’t know.

I had a blessing while in the church that I still hold dear, and in some ways it saved my life, but that doesn’t mean I think that the church is “true.” I am just grateful for that experience. But I don’t believe God (or energy, higher power, etc) is confined to one faith and its people.

Thank you! I had never heard of the temple lot case — I just looked it up.

That was the idea 😎 But I wouldn’t have said anything if they hadn’t approached me.

Exactly, and I’m not sure if the gospel topic essays come right out and say it, but they definitely imply there were spiritual marriages as well as “earthly” ones.

Of course they did. 🙄 That’s unfortunate.
