I kinda doubt he is anymore. I might be projecting but doesn't seem like this is a doc you would make if you are still all in on the church. He is the director that most represents me. He's my age. He did a Spanish speaking mission. Grew up Mormon mostly in a normal place (KC) then towards the end of HS he moved to a small Mormon town and experienced crazy culture shock. That's what Napoleon Dynamite was about. Kip and Napoleon were based on brothers he knew in KC and then the rest was Preston, ID. He left all the Mormonism out of it and made it completely secular but culturally, it was still on point.

Oak ridge? I never heard of Mormons until I moved out here

No, I'm saying this place here is Mormon heaven and Ex-Mo heaven. Most of my friends here are either ex-Mormon or know all about it and they kinda get it. It's not a weird thing or a big deal to them. In Utah, some people look at you sideways for being ex-Mo and in TN some look at you sideways for having been Mormon. Religion is a lot more chill here, all around.

What does your disapproval do to help schizophrenics? Schizophrenics can't function in society if they don't get a grip on their delusions. We have treatments and therapy for people with this affliction.

What would you recommend to people who are unhappy with their gender because of their natural wiring? Telling them some hard truths gonna help? If you think they have a mental disorder and if you understand mental health at all, you would know that's a ridiculous solution.

Do you help schizophrenics by suppressing their symptoms or amplifying?

While we are the subject of Mormons, anybody watched murder among the Mormons on Netflix? I was raised LDS and remember reading about this fiasco when I was a kid thinking it was something straight out of Hollywood. Now NF has a spicy show about it. Hooray! Gonna watch it this weekend. EDIT: Huff already posted ha!

Anyone else watched "Toast of London?" It stars Matt Berry, one of the vampires from What We Do in the Shadows, the TV show. He is hilarious and it is very british but more absurd. I like it.

"YES!"




I've watched some of it here and there. It's hit and miss but it works for me. It's really silly but in the right ways, IMO.

Over the last two years, it's been a struggle to stop my now 16 year old daughter from self-inducing vomit after every meal. I'm divorced and she lives with her mom, who works until 7 and hasn't been able to closely monitor the problem. You are absolutely right. If I've learned anything from this experience, it's that trying to reassure her that she isn't fat does not help. You can't apply the same logic of the average healthy person to someone who has a disorder.

Rough man. Good luck to you with that. I can't imagine how helpless it may feel at times.

Thanks. We have even had to take the doorknobs off the bathroom doors, so she can't lock herself in. That is a hard thing to explain whenever other people are over. I know she still does it though.
