  1. Only it isn't. There are 2.
  2. I have. People can pretend words mean whatever they'd like. People can change the meanings of words. That doesn't change what we know to be true.
  3. I had almost a week off before Sunday and I rarely shave when I'm off work. I was conducting and after Sacrament someone from the stake commented on my "beard". I'm wearing this to the next stake event. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1436037046/funny-lds-shirt-beard-goals-beards-of?gpla=1&gao=1&
  4. Please don't do that. It's how I was elected to something I wasn't even running for.🤮
  5. Yeah. I guess I just typically don't jump into anyone's camp. Politician worship always seemed odd to me. I haven't respected most politicians for years, so I just vote for the best available option.
  6. Why are you at a loss? I assume you mean the final two candidates will be Trump and Biden. They've each had 4 years in the Oval Office. I'm curious what you would struggle with in a general election? I'm intentionally leaving out the primary. I'm currently torn between two candidates.
  7. I'm not a fan of either party, as entities, but there is typically only one party party that I can vote for.
  8. This is so true. I'm always amazed at the reasons people leave the Church.
  9. I know more people that have left because of the vaccine than I do who left because a leader supported Trump.
  10. All the time at my house. Fox can sound crazy, too.
  11. I circumcised my sons. It was an easy decision and my pediatrician concurred.
  12. Whether or not I agree with them, they aren't arbitrary. They are all ideas floated or used in the past to decrease fraud and/or require the voter to be a stakeholder.
  13. This is an issue I've witnessed in our school system. First, the system normalizes this behavior. Second, the system puts this behavior on a pedestal. You don't need to be the HS jock to be popular anymore.
  14. I just use the bottom of my beer can. Same thing.
  15. We have people in apartments send things to the Bishopric at times.
  16. I suppose, but I think this stands more to @mirkwood's point.
  17. I can't create circles at my level. I can add people to circles that aren't automatically in them, though.
  18. I'm sorry you have to live with that. Good thing you can order them online.
  19. Wearing the Temple Garment The temple garment is a reminder of covenants made in the temple and, when worn properly throughout life, will serve as a protection against temptation and evil. The garment should be worn beneath the outer clothing. It should not be removed for activities that can reasonably be done while wearing the garment, and it should not be modified to accommodate different styles of clothing. Endowed members should seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit to answer personal questions about wearing the garment. It is a sacred privilege to wear the garment and doing so is an outward expression of an inner commitment to follow the Savior Jesus Christ.
  20. NH banned affirmative action in public schools in 2012, so......
  21. This. Some of my favorite experiences in the Church is watching people who's journey took them away from God for a bit returning and having their blessings restored.
  22. Not being familiar with CA law, what are the guidelines for mandatory reporting? If someone yells at their child? Spanks their child? Takes away electronics? Molests? When are you required to report? When you witness this personally? If you suspect it's taking place? If you see evidence? It depends on how strict and definitive the requirements are. There are many times I see a parent-child interaction and think "I wouldn't do that", but it doesn't rise to what I consider abuse. If it is a very subjective requirement, then I'm not sure why anyone would worry about it. We should be reporting abuse whether we're required to or not. That doesn't mean someone parenting differently than you is abuse, though.
  23. I would have tied them. I wouldn't have thought anything of you not tying them.
  24. People have been warning about population collapse for awhile now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcA3rI19jYM
