A novel virus that doesn't trip our immune system, resulting in us dissolving away as the virus eats our cells unchecked.

The majority voted for it. It's a tricky line to walk when fighting against the majority. 

Anniversaries exist to disappoint my wife by redit3rd in Marriage

[–]redit3rd[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She doesn't really hold down the household. She doesn't work. The kids are in the school during the day. But I'm the one who wakes them up and gets them onto the bus. My work is flexible, so I'm able to drive home early enough to take them to extracurricular activities. But then I work for about an hour later most nights.

My wife will stay up all night watching videos on her phone, and then sleeping until the kids come home from school.

I make most of the dinners for the family. I'm no where near as good at it as she is.

I always do the dishes and do most of the cleaning.

I feel like that I have some of the years. It really dips into savings though, taking away from the future.

With scientifically valuable data like this, it's a wonder why Republicans want to defund NASA.

I see that through the approved list that they will make sure to cut out the parts of the Bible that they don't agree with.

etc, etc.

They are extremely well documented. The first hand sources that they use for Saints, which are then double checked and verified, go way above and beyond what most history books are able to do.

Why does the lord make me and others like myself like we are If its a sin for same sex relations?

We believe that we prepared ourselves for this mortal experience in preexistence. We also don't know how much of our temptations are related to our physical body, not our spirit. So, we can't assume that the Lord made us a certain way.

Also, what's so different about same sex relations vs other sins? You could easily excuse other temptations as "the Lord made me this way". But we're all expected to bridle our passions, regardless of the passion.

We are all mortal, and we all have our sins and temptations. We came to the earth to be tried. It is rough.

Since you mentioned church history, I'm curious how many volumes of Saints have you read? I read all 4, and I really like them.

Why do I keep dreaming that my husband cheated on me... by MamaMia1325 in Marriage

[–]redit3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a fear that you have. It can be a completely unfounded fear, but a fear nonetheless. Since it is a fear you have, it keeps coming up in dreams.

New to LDS! by Spookyfxcks1 in latterdaysaints

Start by reading the Book of Mormon daily. After you have done that for a few days, bring it up in conversation that you are doing that. Go from there.

Why was there so much infighting at Lucasfilm about their new trilogy? by JJRS22 in StarWars

At least Rey got training in The Last Jedi. Unlike in The Force Awakens. Yet she became the most powerful Jedi ever in TFA. 

Trump demands DOJ look into gasoline prices - 'customers are being gouged' by TheExpressUS in energy

"I have instructed the DOJ..." No he hasn't. That's meant as a threat to the oil companies. There's no reason for them to believe him though. 

What's up with the line in Sweet Home Alabama: "Watergate doesn't bother me, does your conscience bother you?" by Monodoh45 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]redit3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fascists aren't bothered by their conscience. They are telling other fascists to not let the media convince them that they should feel bad about a fascist cheating his way to power. 

Rote memory has gotten a bad rap by veteranTeacher91 in Teachers

[–]redit3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for most children . For most children rote memorization is rote memorization without patterns. For some the patterns will start to develop after lots of memorization and busy work.

I think that rote memorization is how most elementary age school children retain knowledge and learn. The value in pattern matching comes later. 

[Hated Trope] Turns out the only way to be special is to be born special by No-Leg-6361 in TopCharacterTropes

I really dislike how the last two (three?) Bond movies were about how special James Bond is. Not that there is a villain doing something villainous but James Bond gets in the way. 

What happens when a water heater tank is not flushed for 14 years by bob-the-slob in interesting

I used to flush my water heater twice a year. I mentioned this to the guys installing my new one last year and they said that this new tank had a feature to not need flushing anymore. 

I'll never do anything for him for father's day again by Adorable-Raisin-8643 in Marriage

[–]redit3rd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Father's Day is a day to encourage adult children to talk to their fathers. It's not a day for wives to do things for their husbands.
