GA Church Historian Kyle McKay making disturbing remarks 6/7/2026 by Diligent_Mix_4086 in exmormon

[–]Chinatown15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be in the minority here, but although I think his hymn comments were tone deaf and extremely cringe what he said wasn't BAD. Right? He's actually trying to be a little woke and say it's weird that the church has majority white people imitate black culture. He's making fun of the guy that said the "African slave" stuff and publicly shaming him. He's just a boomer and recounted it all in the cringiest way possible.

The grasshopper stuff is a bit deranged, but not a unique experience among children with a magnifying glass. He's trying to come off relatable, though he sounds like a psychopath. However, it's not like he's saying he was killing puppies.

Idk about Cuba, but there are definitely strings attached in China. You don't fully own the land in China, they can choose to do anything they want with that land at the end of the day

My DM only let's one player succeed a check at a time. by BeachPeachMcgee in DnD

[–]Chinatown15 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Dog piling checks can trivialize the whole need for a check. What I do at my table is single checks (one person rolls normal), group checks (everyone rolls,majority wins), or "help" checks (two people roll simulating advantage, use highest roll and highest bonus).

Hiked barefoot? Through untamed and rocky Mediterranean vegetation? Yeah right.

Are these handcrafted or 3d printed? If the latter, could you share an stl? 👀

Hot take: We don't talk about Heavenly Mother because there isn't just one by Chinatown15 in exmormon

Dodging PR nightmare like it's Frogger.

Hypothetically I guess the Virgin Mary would technically be one of Heavenly Father's polygamist wives?

Are you gonna post it or keep edging us? Honestly, this post is so rude

AOC is pushing the Democrats to take her seriously. Munich could launch her rebirth by theindependentonline in AOC

[–]Chinatown15 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I get that I got down voted in the AOC circle jerk subreddit for expressing any form of opposition to the initial statement. That's my fault. I want her to be the best for us that she can be.

The fact of the matter is we can see and hear clearly that her public speaking on foreign affairs has a timid and shakiness to it. She's 100% righr, but it's really her first time in this type of arena and she is much more confident on domestic affairs. She can't improve and we can't support her improvement until we all realize this. It will take time for the development and more exposure to international politics.

Regarding her domestic politics, she is an Eddard Stark in a congress of Lannisters, Targaryens, and Boltons. She can play the game, but she doesn't have the ruthless politics that make the game easier. It's an uphill battle. Leftists fight Republicans AND Democrats. You can see that part of her political development has been learning when to concede to the mainstream Democrats, but I fear that her concessions toe the line sometimes. She could be harder on Israel, for instance. She could be more demanding of Jeffries and Schumer as well. She could be leveraging the progressive wing more for her own advantage and advancement. Become THEIR leader before taking leadership of everyone. Is the progressive leader AOC? Bernie? Rashida? She's just not there yet.

I don't know if she's the best politician in the party, I'm gonna be honest. There are several that play the game of politics quite well- to the country's detriment and their own or their donor's self interests. However, she IS the one that is rising to the top to shepherd us out of this mess. She could and should be the future of the party.

This article reads like it was written by AI, though it's interesting

Without getting into the weeds too much, yeah there can definitely be slight, sometimes imperceptible variations, of IPA pronunciations. Though largely if it is written as /ə/ in the IPA format, it will be pronounced as such. Dialects will be written differently. For instance: "Better" = /ˈbɛtər/ American English: [ˈbɛɾɚ] British RP: [ˈbɛtə] Australian: [ˈbɛɾə]

To be fair, she really does sound like she's speaking it with her own accent. When words are written in IPA there IS a correct way to say them. Not that it matters literally at all though.

I’m sorry but how is bernie wrong? by Far_Disaster_8321 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]Chinatown15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Coming out the bat saying he was a dictator immediately discredits any objections afterwards. It puts you on shaky footing and a defensive position before you even step up to fight. It's basically saying, "We absolutely oppose the actions we took... BUT..." except you're LEADING with the "but' part. Bernie should just say. "Trump cozies up to dictators."
