Counting On Mama

This is the quiz and I did not come up with it, credit goes to @iswearbyalltheflowers on this post.

Yea his message down to the choice of words is so evangelical, I can't be shocked lol but it is disappointing given that he and Joy openly condemned Josh's actions many times.

I do think the fact that Joy had an actual relationship with Joe unlike Josh probably is at play here too. I will say on a human level, I think as a sibling this would just feel impossible to process because not only is it reckoning with the fact that ANOTHER one of your siblings has hurt children, but it's also having to confront the fact that this probably means they were also hurt like this at some point in their lives, and that just sucks to learn. And if I think of what Joy's said about Joe in the past, and try to put myself/my sibling in their shoes, (while I do know I absolutely would never give them any kind of monetary support or justify their actions) I think it would just be such a tsunami of complex feelings. It's not like you can just flip a switch and turn off 30 years of loving someone and idk.

Is it bad to say I would also want to tell my sibling I loved them? I don't think I'd word it as nicely though, and that's the main issue with Austin's message here is just kind of too....... nice. "I love you but I hate what you did, and I will have to support the victim's right to justice over any kind of leniency for you" would be more my flavor.

I'm sure that everyone in the Duggar sphere sees Kendra as solely a victim in this, as opposed to being both victim and perpetrator, so the commitment to caring for her doesn't surprise me. It could even read as "We're taking care of her since you went and fucked everything up for her."

I really thought their pain would impact him on some level.

"Is caring for your aging parents unpaid labor?" ALSO YES

Are you doing labor? Yes.

Are you getting paid? No.

It's not that they think it's crazy, they're just taught that God is the only good force in the world capable of doing things we'd call ✨️magical✨️. And if anyone else is claiming to have powers like God, fictitious characters included, then they are by default evil and probably got those powers from the devil, because God doesn't share his powers with anyone.

Also, if you’re suddenly going to decide you’re into hockey, pick any team I don’t care but, absolutely do not pick the Vegas golden knights as your team…fuck those guys

Maybe it's because I'm Canadian or maybe it's because I actually know an NHL player irl and went to school with some others, but I know more about hockey than I've ever wanted to.

I'm every bit as obsessed with HR as everyone else on this hellsite but I s2g, if I see one more girlie on here say that she needs to find herself a hockey man, I'm gonna start blasting.

The guys I know legit left home as young teenagers to live with host families while playing for "farm teams" which is kinda like the NHL equivalent of going to a high-school that has nfl scouts at games. They zombie their way through their obligations (school, family, etc) giving literally all of their investable energy and attention to The Game. The "work hard, play hard" mentality is real, and the minute they have any freedom, they are hedonistic, self-gratitication machines.

They do not have a normal teenagerhood and as such miss out on a whole bunch of normal socialization that everyone else goes through. People joke about Shane being like a hockey robot and attribute it to ~~the 'tism~~ but I think its actually true of a lot of hockey men, until it gets replaced by Ilya-style pleasure-seeking off the ice.

I'm not saying their inherently bad people or anything, and maybe this is true of other elite athletes, too, but its almost like being incredibly myopic is a personality requirement. If you want a partner that is available, physically and emotionally, I'd look elsewhere, for sure.
