I sincerely hope this happens, but Israel owns our current administration, and apparently the US has veto power on the UN, which seems like a dumb idea.

NGL, I don't think this is right. In THIS CASE I think it makes sense, because taking a stance with trump is reprehensible. But changing your opinion ONLY because it might be unpopular is a bad path IMHO.
We should all check our biases and rethink and research our opinions frequently, but the popularity of a position shouldn't really make a difference.

To be totally fair, these people only seem to want the rights that work for them and oppress others. Other's rights and influence are no longer fair unless they align with their bigotry.

This isn't exactly corollary.
FB isn't just selling ad space, they're literally selling user data, often to adversarial countries.
Radio could never do that, and tv only could if you had a paid service like cable or satellite.

I HOPE that's true, but considering how little musk seems to care about his children that feels unlikely.
But I don't know him personally, I don't know his life, I just know for sure musk is a jackass. I can't rightfully assume anything about how he treats is cisgender children.

Worth noting, that the person who feels like they won the debate won't want more because it can only hurt them. He probably thinks he won.

Yes, but I feel as though people are more active this election, so I think there's a larger chance of at least getting rid of the super majority in the house.

Almost the whole house is up for reelection this November as well, so maybe at least that part can be handled.

I don't think they're angry at you. I imagine they couldn't care less if they tried, but I'm sure they're confused how you seem to think that the target of an infatuation is somehow responsible for the actions of the infatuated person. This strikes me as a very small step away from "It's her fault she got r***ed, look how she's dressed".

Heh nice call, did grow up in Idaho, but didn't start doing temple stuff until I was in California.
Anywho, sorry never heard anything about changing any historical facts about anyone. (Not even sure where that came up in the thread, but forgive me, it's almost 4 am 🤣). The past is the past. Just offering them the "atonement" or whatever. They could still decide whether or not to accept.
Anywho, it's a sucky religion, and I've used up my quota of energy on it for the quarter.
I hope you have an excellent rest of your life, free from the special Mormon flavor of religion!

Not really sure what you mean. Me and everyone I knew absolutely believed we were offering salvation for each person we were doing this for. If you didn't, then you weren't a good mormon (honestly, good for you, I wish I wasn't so in the coolaid)
They have kids, 12+ do this all the time, and they use other submitted names, with literally no relationship to any of the names the kid is baptized for. There's no "supposed to be related" they just encourage it to make you feel more personally attached to the work.
Also if you were in it more recently than I, perhaps they changed it. It's been about a decade, and despite what they say, they change their story all the time.

And Mormonism does it more than others. There's not only 4 places you can go after you die, but the "heaven" (best) one has 3 separate levels in it as well. You can only go to super secret top tier heaven if you're Mormon, get sealed (eternity married) in the temple, and remember all the secret handshakes and your special name learned in the temple.
(The name isn't even that special, they just make it seem like it is. Every person of the same gender as you (remember there's only 2 🙄🙄) gets the same name for that date. They're all biblical names, and since there's only like 8 women mentioned in the Bible (because why would they right?), they're recycled even more making your super special secret temple name super common.)
Additionally, of you get a special placement in the afterlife based on what church you associate with, and not even based on your deeds and intentions, then that's F'd up. You could be literally the best person ever, but if your Catholic or atheist, you don't get into super secret top tier heaven. That's reserved for the sycophants.

There's a huge pull for Mormons to see their family again, it's one of the ways they manipulate you the hardest. If you're a good mormon, but this other person wasn't, then you'll basically never see them again. (Or meet them, in the case of ancestors). Plus it's a bragging point, I knew people who kept a count of everyone they did this for.

As an ex-mormon, I feel I should point out that they don't believe they're claiming the dead whom they're baptizing. They're providing an opportunity for the dead person to choose and accept the baptism.
That said, f#*# organized religion. The Mormon church especially.

Sorry about that dude! This doesn't help with the pain right now, but they've just started human trials on a new therapy that re-enables your tooth buds, allowing you to grow a new set of adult teeth. Maybe it'll be available soonish 🤞

It's in the proton pass app. You only get so many in the free tier, but I did the premium, so it's unlimited.

I have a brother in Oregon, they auto register there.
So religion is a pretty common theme in his books. Stormlight and Elantris (more for the latter) have heavy religious influence. I'm reading Elantris now, and I can't imagine a man who understands religion as well as he does (based on his writing) believes anything about the TSCC. This thought just came to mind as he's describing how the one dude knows how to manipulate the masses, using their pride and shame to his own ends. Anywho, just throwing that out there. 🤷 Have a great weekend, and a lovely second Saturday everyone!
I've been keeping my pebble 2 alive for a very long time. New battery a few months ago, rewiring the vibrator motor due to the wire breaking at the solder point, new 3d printed buttons. It's been working great for a very long time. Today, the motor itself is dead, resoldering it yielded no joy. I think I need to retire this watch. I've asked my brother if I could buy one of his (he backed all the kickstarters) that isn't working any more. I'll replace the battery in it, and get it working again. It's so sad that these aren't made any more. No significant changes or updates in what, like 7 years, and it still functions nearly perfectly. I wish so badly that someone would pick up where they left off and manufacture some more.
Super weird, noticed it today on his right foreleg just above the elbow joint. Feels like there's something underneath, and had this chunky white protrusion. Can't find an exact match via Google. Expecting some sort of cyst or maybe a blocked gland?
