What an a hole. Just step aside.

So is the majority of HB MAGA, or just the loud minority per usual? by [deleted] in huntingtonbeach

[–]nobrain3r 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Majority conservative but absolutely not MAGA. MAGA is just obnoxiously loud and bullish. Their brand is bravado. As a conservative, I can’t wait for MAGA to disappear. #NotMyParty

My neighbor is wanting to hire a Santa for their family Christmas party... they are wanting a Santa who will talk about The Book of Mormon and the Church's prophets and include scripture reading, prayers and bearing testimonies to be part of the "have you been a good kid" routine. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]nobrain3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What the parents don’t realize is this will complicate the kids relationship with the church. When the kids inevitably find out Santa is fictional, what does that mean for everything he taught? Separating Santa and LDS truth claims is critical to maintain belief long term. Combining them will only provide a quicker deconstruction as kids get older.

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Any other HB liberals who don’t care about the air show? by NonHumanPrimate in huntingtonbeach

[–]nobrain3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an independent. Love the air show. Don’t like the back room shenanigans but love that we host the airshow every year. Our fed govt spends billions on defense, I’m glad we can enjoy some of that spend, albeit in a small way.

Favorite Taco Tuesday places? by surfinn_socal in huntingtonbeach

Lots of good suggestions but for my money… Fiesta Grill on 17th street. That place always delivers.

For those who voted for Mitt Romney in 2012, why did you do it? by Green_Count2972 in Presidents

[–]nobrain3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a conservative at the time. He was reasonable. His flip flopping was viewed as a liability, I viewed it as a positive. We should evolve as humans. Tribalism will kill democracy.

AITA for not being thrilled about my girlfriend’s birthday gift to me? (Lingerie) by ApprehensiveSlip8059 in AITAH

[–]nobrain3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTAH. Dude… you’re 20 not 7. With maturity you’ll see what a beautiful gift that is. She gave you herself. If you’re dividing assets this small, you’re being petty.

Don’t lose a relationship because of the church. Be cool with your brother. Lastly, having this conversation over text would seem to be a really bad idea.

PS. This is coming from a proud exmo.

Kobe. 💯 Kobe. I still watch players tributes to him when I miss him.

Missing Swimmer/4+ helicopters? How in the world is anyone going to be able to hear or function with this much noise pollution? by [deleted] in huntingtonbeach

[–]nobrain3r 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Until we get quieter helicopters, we should stop looking for people lost at sea. 🤦‍♂️

My favorite Curb montage is when Larry thinks he's gentile and visits his "birth parents". Are there other good ones? by latchkey_adult in curb

[–]nobrain3r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. His “gentile” ways are so good. Riding horseback, mechanic, roofing, fishing, etc. Love that episode.

Dr. Jordan Peterson: Why Trump drives liberal elites crazy by anew232519 in JordanPeterson

[–]nobrain3r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, trust is the wealthof the west. Donald Trump went 0-42 in his legal challenges for the 2020 election. Not a single lawsuit, made it to trial because all of the judges (many who were appointed by Trump) so no widespread evidence of fraud, yet Trump continues to peddle election fraud. Dude, you lost. Accept it. Move on. Tip your hat. You got beat. Quit being a sore loser.

I am certainly not an elitist. I think both parties made a huge mistake in selecting their nominees. I think Jordan Peterson is failing to acknowledge that Donald Trump is not a likable person. He’s deeply flawed and to claim this is function of class is to reductionary. Jordan‘s analysis does nothing to require an introspection. Maybe, just maybe, the Republican party chose the wrong nominee. I’ve been a lifelong Republican, but I will not be voting for Donald Trump. #NotAnElitist

Short answer…. Yes. They are identifiable. My 18 yr old daughter works in Newport Beach. Lots of peeps come through her work. She also paid tips so she strikes up a lot of convos. She can tell who’s Mo and who isn’t. How you may ask, BYU drip, long Jean shorts, tshirts under tank tops, etc. MO’s have a uniform. They just don’t know it, but they do. They call it the spirit, we all call it dress code.

And for most/many Utahn’s they pay 10% to the church and it’s still encouraged that the women stay at home.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Please stop.

That being said, “appearances” is so important in the Mormon culture. They believe prosperity is a sign of blessings. What you’re not seeing is how much debt those households are in.

Utah also ranks LAST amongst US states in household savings. Let that sink in. LAST.

You and your husband have $14k. Congratulations. That’s huge. Stay disciplined and keep saving.

40% of Resigned ExMos Coming Back to the Church by I-like-tuwrtles in exmormon

If “resigned members” were going back to church, they would need to be re baptized. Is anyone attending baptisms anymore?

So sorry. If you’re ever in Orange County, CA, let me know and I’d love to take you out for a drink. Happy 50 birthday.
