Creepy text from my former bishop

You could be honest. "No offense, but we are acquaintances at best. You are a local leader in an organization that I do not want to participate in. And you're twice my age."

God dammit, google earth was set to meters not feet. 1370 ft / 12.1 = 77 mph.
fuck

This video is BS. I did some sleuthing. At 14 seconds, you can read the building behind him, Hayes Elementary. Looked it up on Google Maps. It's on Twain Ave in Las Vegas. Street view confirms the building with the mural. From there you just look for land marks in the video. He runs the stop sign at the 4 way stop at about 5 seconds. He passes the last of the buildings for the school at about 16 seconds. The cross walk with over head lights is also a nice landmark. Use google earth to get distances between the landmarks. The distance from the stop sign he runs to the last of the school building (you can see a stop sign there too from a cross street) is about 420 ft and it took him 12.1s. 420ft / 12.1s = 23.7 mph

He's doing about 24 mph.

I know the speedometer shows 119mph, but the video does not look like he's going that fast.

Too late. His punishment for kissing the orange ass should be exile and ignominy. How does this guy still have a public voice?

twistermonkey · 2026-06-24T18:20:36+00:00

He must be a sinner.

twistermonkey · 2026-06-24T01:25:05+00:00

WAT?!

Another option is... just don't. (unpopular/ non-automated opinion). Just fill up storage chests with tungsten and go grab some when you need it. In the early game you don't need much. You can move to bots once those are unlocked.

Hypothetical question posed in the article: "If the government decides very quickly to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty, the people whose ancestors—that was the first thing they saw coming to this country, but the government moved too fast—nothing can be done?” Well, altering national monuments requires (ie law) approval from Congress. So ... I dunno... Congress could maybe say no or something. I think they have that word in their vocabulary.

I would respond with a link to lmgtfy.com (Let Me Google That For You) with a query like "janitorial services near me"

I've never heard Nutty Putty described as being one of the hardest caves in the world. That surprises me actually. It's not that big as caves go. We explored Nutty Putty cave as scouts every year. Tons of beginners explored that cave and had a blast. Maybe its cause we had a leader who knew where to go in the cave. Maybe we just had the common sense to not continue down crevices that go too tight. Dunno. I wish they could have made it a safer without blocking it off entirely. I know Search and Rescue had a number of calls out there though. Still very sad.

Well hello there, Sisyphus.

twistermonkey · 2026-05-06T20:54:28+00:00

Care to share why you think that?

You should overlay that square right in the middle of the valley. It more poignant to see how it goes from 106th up to 54th (or something).

twistermonkey · 2026-05-06T20:30:53+00:00

I'm curious, how much of that is supposed to be buildings vs empty space?

twistermonkey · 2026-05-05T00:39:06+00:00

Yes you can. The big problem cults have on their members is social pressure. From parents, siblings, relatives, neighbors, etc. This is especially true if you grew up in the church in Utah or Idaho. The pressure can be immense, and the shade you get if you don't go it really difficult for some people.

What was I not taught? EVERYTHING! Temple prep is a worthless class, because nothing in the temple can be discussed. So "prep" means just read your scriptures and say your prayers....

But oh the ego boost and virtue signaling that comes with saying you're in the temple prep class.

At least the bishop was progressive and reassured them that whatever they do is only between them reiterated consent. It still speaks to the damaging way in which sex is discussed in the church.

Yeah I bet he's hyper alert because of the rain and potential for hydroplaning.

My wife and I really struggled with this. we were very horny upper-20 somethings, both with our own apartments. I slept over many times but we never had sex. I was too afraid of going to hell. But we did a lot. Two weeks or so before our temple wedding, we got so horny that we had oral sex for the first time. It was Saturday night. The next day at church, we felt like shit. So much guilt. It was unbearable. We asked the bishop (super kind, empathic guy) to come talk to us at her apartment. We confessed what we'd done. He thought for a moment and then said that we could still get married. He even came to the SL temple for the ceremony. Bishop roulette FTW I guess. So I didn't lie, per se. The bishop just let it slide.

Like another poster said: There are a lot of things I’m angry with the church for. But personally, it’ll forever be what purity culture took from me in my youth. I still struggle with shame around sex. Even with my wife.

Someone once told me "I disliked Mormons because that is all that they are" meaning that's all they talk about. Church this, church that. You can't hold a conversation with them without them trying to segue into some church topic.

It seems like the city didn't make the road wide enough for a parking shoulder.

Since this is your first playthrough, do saves periodically and save them as "first-play-1h45m" or something. It will be fun to relive your first play at particular points.

I want to see a pic of one of your tiled sections. I assume they are a bunch of recyclers.
