When somebody says, 'I cannot emphasize this enough,' my first thought is: 'Don't feel bad. With a little practice, you too can be a great emphasizer.'

Whenever I see a trade for "a player to be named," I always assume it's just some guy whose parents are very dedicated procrastinators.

NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依@japan_nobunaga

I needed to move a sofa. I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?" I did not know anybody with a truck. He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name. "You gotta know somebody with a truck." I asked how one acquires such a person. He said, "You just do." This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having. He said, "Ask Kevin." I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle. I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius. Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES. Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man. I had not asked for a second man. The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves. They moved the sofa in eleven minutes. I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not. I asked what I owed them. Kevin said, "Buy the pizza." That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size. Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE. We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it. Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive." I still think about that. Three weeks later, Kevin texted me. "You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge." He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge. Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF. I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms. Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck. I said, "Yeah, I got a guy." I have a guy. I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me. He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size." I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.

@jaredadairbell I think this is likely the case, but it's not a deal-breaker to me if he wasn't

I might be in the minority, but I think it stands to reason that Jesus was married.

@brucedeez If it's undesirable I guess I just don't see why you'd want to manifest that 🤷‍♂️

@scrollpastthis Why would I want to halt the flow of Muslims into Utah? Or why would I want to lead them to Christ if they do come? I want both.

@aelfred_D Exactly. I think about my ancestors and the sacrifices they had to make at least a few times a week. I owe them an immeasurable debt I will never be able to repay, so yeah I'm always very happy to talk about them.

@dustinharding In the Arizona Tucson Mission, Elder F. Burton Howard commanded us not to fast from water. He was the Southwest Area president at the time.

@Hotchkiz Unless it was actually a certified service animal, the correct response is "You are always welcome here, but your dangerous emotional support dog is not." Even if it was a service animal, I would be extremely hesitant to allow it in the building.

There was a lady in my old ward that insisted on bringing her “service pitbull” to every meeting. Every time someone talked to her about it (or simply moved away when she brought her dog near their kids) she’d cry at the bishop about how she’s leaving the church because of them.

@cremieuxrecueil or maybe (still throwing spaghetti at the wall) the mentally ill are more likely to be poor managers of personal finances and therefore need more financial help.

@cremieuxrecueil What if it's financial? i.e., mentally ill people have to see mental health care providers. This is another cost to bear. Thus they're more likely to support a system of greater govt support for those financially struggling.

The relationship between politics and mental illness is interesting. We don't know why it is how it is, where left-wing people tend to have higher rates of mental illness. But we know a lot of things that don't explain it!

@MarkRiese1982 @NoblestCalling I guess I am a demon. I never once brought up the subject with my wife when we were dating. Never even occurred to me to do so. Certified monster over here.

@NoblestCalling Women like you are why chivalry is dead. “Men should not bring up modesty when dating” is a DEMON’s thought.

Very funny stuff happening in that modesty in dating tweet, not the least of which being that guy revealing why he is still single. His advice is basically to pursue an immodest woman, then test her by telling her to dress modestly for him, see if she submits to a man who is neither her husband nor even her boyfriend, then get mad when this doesn't make her want to date him. It's a mystery why this has not worked for him! Surely it will work for you!
