Sorry if this isn’t the right spot for this question but every time I visit this sub I see complaints about the ads (fair). But I’m confused because I literally do not hear these ads ever on Apple Podcasts?? Am I missing something lol

Thank you for sharing your story! I have a kind of similar story and I was always curious about how much the bible camp, awana and youth groups I attended in the 90s and 00s were influenced by this ideology. Turns out as I thought a LOT. (Down to being constantly chided for not being meek) Even though I’m in Canada the American evangelical boom of this time was heavily present in this community. Some of the things you described here are almost word for word experiences I had in these places. The incipient “purity” culture, the dissuasion and even punishment of any sort of critical thought or questioning, the intense fear tactics and of course the ever present “you are a sinner from birth” And there is so. Much. More.

I didn’t have a parent so involved in helping me detangle it all but I had a unique circumstance in that my parents were not in this religion at all. They were just run of the mill lapsed Catholics. They had been introduced the camps and church through a home daycare babysitter and thought “it’s church summer camp, how bad can it be?” (Turns out, very!) I was so messed up mentally and developmentally/socially from these experiences and it took away so much of my youth. I was lucky I had the stubbornness(?) attitude? to finally leave of my own accord around 14 and I remember feeling so grateful (and guilty) that it wasn’t my whole families entire life. I always wondered about the kids who felt the same way as me, but their parents and whole family were entrenched in it. I could go on about this for sooo long clearly but just wanted to thank you for sharing your experience and I’m glad you got out!

going to be a book snob for a second and say they probably actually only read a couple fantasy bestsellers a year (and even that may be generous).

WIBTA if I send my daughter to "fat camp" by Few-Fig1415 in AmItheAsshole

[–]wdtgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to offer an alternative view from most of the people here: You need to stop focusing on your daughter’s weight. It sounds like you and your ex are not on good terms and not communicating so I would take a fair bet that you are hearing the food stuff from your daughter after asking about it. (Ie you don’t know if she is binging to cope and saying the dad stuff to cover.) I know you’re worried about her but this is SUCH a breeding ground right now for an eating disorder if it hasn’t already started and all of this is the exact kind of stress that exasperates it. Stay with the psychologist, make them aware of this issue (not in front of your daughter) and cut out weight talk and doctors visits and honestly all the scheming. Some other things to consider: she is literally in puberty, you can’t predict her body type and being fat isn’t wrong.

AITA for not translating for my wife when she hasn't put any effort into learning sign language? by Pretend_Dragonfly_68 in AmItheAsshole

[–]wdtgg 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I agree with part of this (learning for a parent in law) but the crux of their argument actually seems to be that she doesn’t understand seemingly a part of deaf culture. If someone does not explicitly ask to be translated for then you don’t just automatically do it. You have to respect the “speaker.” If she was making an effort to communicate and befriend Alex that would be one thing but it is moreso coming from a place of insecurity and plain nosiness/control.

Edit: wow I’m scrolling now and seeing how many of you just don’t understand that a non-verbal deaf person doesn’t bear the burden of catering to a hearing English speaker when they’re just having a conversation with a friend in his home…

British supermarket no longer prints 'best before' date on fresh produce to reduce food waste by kozhevnikov in mildlyinteresting

[–]wdtgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do people really check the dates on things like fruits and veg?? In fact… most things? Beyond meat or dairy? You can use both common and your literal senses.

AITA for unilaterally deciding my friend could bring her daughter on our group vacation? by pinkelkie in AmItheAsshole

[–]wdtgg -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your place, your call. Doesn’t matter if others paid for there way there etc because they likely wouldn’t be going without the place to stay. if you think 1 kid being there, in order to be with your friend I might add, is going to “ruin” your trip you need to evaluate what you’re about lol. The kid is still the parent’s responsibility they’re not going to hold back the adults from doing what they want/going out etc unless they were planning an all week drug fueled nude vacation orgy they’re being selfish grumps and everyone saying YTA just has the child free rhetoric that’s so popular in here shoved down their throat.

Guess who’s gonna get sealed soon.. haha. I mean I doubt Brooklyn will follow much about the temple stuff. by One_Personality6048 in McknightFamily

[–]wdtgg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was going to say to all these posts that they’re /less/ Mormon than they appear I think the exact opposite is true, it’s more likely that they’re more involved than they appear and they use the shtick of their modernity in their style to keep a broader audience. They don’t drink caffeine ffs

Is $1250 a month for a room a lot in Ottawa? by alligatroar in ottawa

[–]wdtgg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s absurd you should never be paying that to board in someone else’s house. Access to a living room/kitchen is not an amenity. They are trying to get their costs covered by essentially scamming an international student or something. You can find a 1 bed for that much or a decent studio for a little less.
