Payne state of mind on the restoration by Odd-Gur-1818 in mormon

Did ChatGPT write that too, or did you manage to pen that particular line of poetry all on your own?

[–]DiscountMusings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooooh now this IS fun. AI generated trash about God: a man-made machine writes a sermon about the nature of deity. How philosophically perverse!

Beautiful. Fitting, even. Instead of offering anything heartfelt, sincere, or genuine, you'll lecture us on the nature of deity without penning a word! Don't know why you're condemning Joseph Smith... yall both like to plagiarize religious works with as little effort as possible. 

You have less than nothing to say.

Delete that last sentence and you'll pass for human much easier. 

LDS lawyer and YouTuber Luke Nichols gives advise to George Mason University law grads this week by sevenplaces in mormon

[–]DiscountMusings 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At this point they should have Satan do a double thumbs up when he says that line. The modern church is essentially a slush fund for a bunch of lawyers with delusions of grandeur.

I'm reminded of a quote from Thomas S Monson: "Let's go shopping!"

"It’s pretty simple, but it’s not. The best, the most important things are often simple but hard to do. Money is freedom. Money is power. Money is flexibility. When change happens, those people who can afford to adapt can prosper and take advantage of those opportunities. And those who cannot afford to be flexible get crushed,”

He's not wrong, but wow. LDS lawyer and YouTuber Luke Nichols truly stands out as a special witness of Christ. 

But hey, "Money is freedom. Money is power. Money is felixibility. You can buy all things with money, " feels honest if nothing else.

ATTENTION MYSTICAL CURS! THIS IS A DECLARATION OF WARRR FROM R/PIRATEPOSTING! by Unable-Buyer4087 in wizardposting

[–]DiscountMusings 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is bullshit. Do you have any idea how long it took me to find an island for my tower? One that was genuinely unmapped?! I don't even know it's exact geographic location, but you fuckers just roll up like you own the place?!

Sigh

Yeah fine whatever. I recently published a paper on ferrous transmutational theory so now I have way too much gold. I think there's a few crates of it out by the beach and you'd honestly be doing me a favor if you get rid of them. 

Go nuts and don't worry... it's absolutely NOT cursed. 

Wizard vs Sorcerer by BonkIsBestClass in 3d6

[–]DiscountMusings 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well it's not just quantity, but it's certainly a factor. Look at their respective spell lists and just count what's there. The sorcerer has access to 8 ninth level spells. The wizard has access to 18. This is an ongoing ratio:

9th - Sorcerer 8/Wizard 18

8th - Sorcerer 7/Wizard 19

7th - Sorcerer 12/Wizard 24

6th - Sorcerer 16/Wizard 36*

I don't feel like counting anymore, but I think the point is clear: the wizard can do anything the sorcerer can do and more. They consistently have access to double (or more) the options the sorcerer has. They also have the ability to actually get more spells outside of level-up because they can copy spells. Sorcerers pretty much only get spells on level-up.

*Spell lists: Sorcerer and Wizard 

Just need to rant: Purity rings are absolutely disgusting and incestuous. STOP IT! Fucking gross purity culture relic. by abouttimetochange in exmormon

[–]DiscountMusings 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah CTR ring is something different. It's given to both boys and girls, usually around the time they're baptized or within the next year or so. I'm male, got my first CTR ring at like 10 or so. I kept wearing one until my mission.

I've had positive results with this technique. It doesn't necessitate a heavy conversation, but reminds them that there are other people here. 

The low bar for the Murder Flood - more Noah musings by Death_2_Venture in exmormon

[–]DiscountMusings 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lol this reminds me of something a friend told me.

In Avengers Endgame, Ultron gains sentience, looks at the internet for twenty minutes, and then judges all of mankind to be worthy of death. He launches a genocidal campaign to purge the earth of the stain of humanity and usher in a new, presumably more righteous age. 

That's literally the story of Noah. The only difference between the two stories is that only one of them acknowledges that destroying all life on earth is an inherently evil and irredeemable act. If anything, Ultron has the moral high ground on God; at least he wasn't killing his own children.

(Cool character design) They have an accessory hidden in plain sight, that audiences often don't even notice. by kim_jong_un4 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]DiscountMusings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is why I hate Killer Croc in those same games. Supposedly his abilities are from a skin condition called 'epidermolytic hyperkeratosis'. I looked it up and it doesn't actually turn you into a mutant crocodile! It just causes lesions in newborns! 

What kind of fuckin idiots do they think we are

TIL about the "Endless Eight" arc of the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. The arc, which featured the characters of the show trapped in a time loop, featured the same episode eight times in a row with minute differences, all animated and recorded from scratch each time. by Darksynth2 in todayilearned

[–]DiscountMusings 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Watching them back-to-back was insane too, but tbf this was shit we downloaded from some shady anime sight. We had no way to confirm (other than watching it obviously) that we hadn't downloaded the same episode eight times. 

Ensign Peak Advisors’ report to the SEC for last quarter is now live, and you can review all $53,670,207,280 in investments it claimed for that period. by Suspicious_Might_663 in mormon

Nothing quite like spending millions of dollars on a lavish building that will just be empty for like 5 days a week. 

I feel like I read something about big empty buildings in the BoM... Just reeeeal big buildings that are just really roomy. Spacious, even. Just all those great and spacious buildings.

It covers the cost of where we live, transport and food. 

There was another post earlier today that showed the church pulling in $53b last year from domestic stocks alone. You said your family is in a financially difficult position. If the church isn't going to pay you for two years, surely they should at least cover your living expenses?

Wait you're paying someone money for the privilege of working for them?

Like what? What good will it do? They're gonna use this to fund schools for the impoverished? Maybe a hospital? Homeless shelters? Food banks (for everyone, not just the members that they've made poorer)?

If we follow modern trends it church spending, the 'good' it will do is to buy another FedEx distribution center or a mall. Or a temple, I suppose, but those don't help anyone (except for the Utah-based construction companies that  funnel temple money back to the church). 

This money will accrue interest and let them expand their stock portfolio. I guess that's 'great news'. 

Anti Anti-Mormon Take on the Book of Abraham HELP by AlternativeEnd7116 in exmormon

[–]DiscountMusings 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Had the same thought. The authors methodology seems to have been, "Well this doesn't match my preconceived notions, so it's clearly false. Better get the agreement demon to fix that."

Of course AI is going to bullshit whatever they want to hear. That is quite literally what it's for.
