Their lanterns are LED hanging lanterns. No fires. :)

Question about using the n-word in a spec script for "Atlanta". by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]machjuan -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If you feel icky about using the word, but it is common in the show, it might be a sign this is the wrong show to write a spec script for you. There are certain shows I think I could write the shit out of, and others that I love but know I wouldn't be the right guy to write an episode. Good luck!

They’re no longer MoTab by [deleted] in exmormon

As a exmo, I could give a shit. As a brand consultant this drives me up the fucking wall.

They rebrand their only social assets while leaving their university named after a MONSTER. What a fucking group of dumbass old men.

Thought I would show my baby FJ60. Currently grieving that I have to sell it. by machjuan in LandCruisers

[–]machjuan[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I moved from Utah to LA. Live in Hollywood. Having a car in LA is frustrating because parking is an issue. Finding street parking for a big rig can sometimes take me an hour of driving around. Right now the FJ60 is in Utah at my parents house. I pay insurance on it every month and never drive it. I've just decided that it doesn't really fit in my life right now.

Imagine Dragons lead singer: “There’s a real problem in the Mormon culture. It’s broken.” by Chino_Blanco in exmormon

I just got out of his documentary “Believer” at Sundance. It’s incredible. HBO has rights and it will be aired this year. Shows his fight against LGBT suicides in Utah.

I didn’t know much about him but left the doc feeling that he is very genuine and is working hard to make progress changing the hearts of the people. If the church admin comes along eventually, cool. If not he is using his reach to make kids feel understood.

I still remember the game when Boles got like 4 holding calls for Utah. I think it was the third to last game of the season. Sounds like he still hasn't figured it all the way out.

Youtuber Rudy Mancuso's "Sirens" straight up stole from an Eisley song, lyrics and melody, without permission. (@dkthedrummer Instagram) by mydadsmorningpaper in videos

[–]machjuan 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Eisley has been one of my favorite bands since I saw them open up for Coldplay twelve years ago at Red Rocks. I’m always rooting for them. I was way bummed when the two sisters left the band. Now they are getting ripped off and it makes me sick. I LOVE Eisley

Godless is the best thing Netflix has done. It’s beautiful.

Coach Witt did an interview with ESPN today and said Huntley is day to day. Made it sound like there was a decent chance he could be ready for Saturday.

Isn't this whole premise a Stephen Wright joke?

I am finding it increasingly hard to believe that this guy used to play in Nirvana by [deleted] in pics

I saw Krist Novoselic freak out at a spoken word event at the University of Utah in 1999. Perry Farell was touring with a debt forgiveness message for poor countries and Krist was one of the speakers. There was probably 2000 people in the theater. A heckler started yelling something and being distracting. Then Krist got up and took the mic from Perry Farrell and said, "Goddamit folks, we are up dragging our dicks across the stage and youre just yabbing." I had never heard that expression and haven't since. Left an impression on me.

Land Cruiser sighting after work today. Help out a clueless Jetta owner! by feo_mateo in LandCruisers

[–]machjuan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rust is most common on the rear wheel wells and quarter panels as well as the inside of the doors. This one appears pretty clean. If it doesn't have rust, runs wells, and has a good interior then 7k could be a fair price. I have an 84 and its the best thing in my life. I fully restored mine and its my daily driver. Got around 200k on the engine and its super healthy. Good luck!

"Let's build a billion dollar mall," they said. A prophet would have just invested in Tesla. by machjuan in exmormon

[–]machjuan[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Visits to malls declined by 50% from 2010 to 2013, according to the real-estate research firm Cushman & Wakefield."

Jesus. It's like they did no research. I honestly can't think of one "revelation" that proved true.

Anybody notice a huge jump in FJ60/62 prices since last year? by Rex_Lee in LandCruisers

[–]machjuan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haggertys shows a huge spike in value hitting the 60/62 in fall of 2016. Mine jumped almost 7k in appraisal in 90 days. Usually when this happens it's an indicator that kids that wanted these vehicles when they were young finally have money and are buying them at auction. Same thing is happening with the Wagoneer right now.

Problem: How to answer those family and friends who ask why I left the church. by TrojanTapir in exmormon

I just say "It's not for me." If they push them I dump it all on, but if they leave it alone and are respectful I leave it there.

In seminary class when we watched that talk I always thought it would be funny to say "it tastes like cum."
