@Next50Years I’m seeing this old cultural habit creep back in here in Utah for sure. It’s not as full scale as it was in the 90s/early 2000s but it’s coming back.
@Je5ton Grew up in Texas as a member of the Church. I was invited to a party where there would be alcohol & I decided to go. When I got there, the host gave me a hug, handed me a case of non-alcoholic beer & said, “I got this for you!” It was nasty…but I was flattered.
@washingtonpost@FatherChrisVor1 AND, from what I understand, if the church does not work to protect its trademark, then future cases of trademark infringement will not be taken seriously by judges if the church does not do what it can now.
@ProfRobAnderson First, I pull through whenever possible. Secondly, I pull in unless I am parking at an event where I know everyone will be leaving at around the same time.
@Latterdaytruth You see those 3 doors? They are the entrances to each of the 3 Nephite’s fortress of solitude. When President Oaks lights up the sky with “the signal” they roll out and do good throughout the world!
@ModestTeacher Also, Monday=assembly, Tuesday=9th grader field trip to amusement park, Wed=high school graduation (many will be gone), Thursday 7&8 field day. Friday students dismissed at 9:30am…so no one comes. Garbage week but not by our design.
@ModestTeacher 5 days left. Just finished final performances & will tie up loose ends Mon. For context, school took Chromebooks on the 11th to levy fines, parents constantly taking kids, some already gone, grades need to be done so remediation can happen, etc. It can be hard to stay productive.
@hiyori_reishi_ Reminds me of a time I hitchhiked in Mexico and wound up in the back of a dump truck. I was standing in the bed, looking over the cab when I felt drops of water. I looked to the sky but no clouds. Then I looked ahead at the livestock trailer in front of me filled with pigs!
@RealChipDouglas@FixingEducation While I too don’t have the answers, seeing some “core” teachers show movie after movie or have their students chilling on their phones for the last 15 minutes of class while I’m busting my butt from bell to bell makes me supportive of performance pay. + w/AI, aren’t STEM jobs ⬇️
@ShuvamK7787140@Cine_vichaar@grok Are you talking about “The Arrival” with Charlie Sheen or “Arrival” staring Amy Adams? I guess, either way, you are technically right. Neither takes place in space…but come on! If we are going to go by your rules I’ll switch Gravity out for Spaceballs!
@ATrueMillennial @ThoughtfulSaint In the 90’s, in Texas, I had a girlfriend whose church would host a “Mormon Night”. The Elders decided to show up one night. They were not allowed to go in. They said, “But we’re Mormon” while pointing to the marquis. The church leaders were not amused and did not let them in.
