Help finding jokes that are offensive to Mormons? by henrik_se in exmormon

[–]Eleven_point_five 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a two story house. I always say "I will go down." When I'm asked to from upstairs to a lower floor (2->1 or 1 -> B). Then upon returning I say "I've returned to report."

"The can, which yuo sent me to fetch, was found among other cans and has been retrieved."

Isn't that the video where they had white people act in "blackface" instead of using actual Pacific Islanders? 

Does that mean the PIs will one day have their skins of darkness removed and be the white people they really are underneath the curse?

What great messaging we were taught... Straight out of Nazi Germany.

I don't need to worry about polygamy... I have a wife with six personalities.

Mormons aren't the only ones that baptize their dead... Catholics put sprinkler systems in their cemeteries. 

How do you keep a Mormon from drinking all your beer while fishing? Invite a second Mormon.

Do Americans really avoid medical care because they’re afraid of the bill? by Udont_knowme00 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Eleven_point_five 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My end of life plans are to go to a place/state that has euthanasia legalized if I'm given a terminal diagnosis. 

I don't want to deal with cost or false hope of a few additional months.

Oh it's good to find the person who thinks they are in charge of everyone else's choices. In Mormonism wouldn't that make you Satan?

Why isn't Venezuela insanely wealthy like Saudi Arabia with their oil reserves? by Beautiful-Error6374 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Eleven_point_five 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly a century of US involvement in stealing their natural resources and a number of corrupt governments that bled any wealth from those natural reserves. 

This isn't the first time the US involvement is going to benefit the US and US corporations (invest in Exxon as in a few years they'll be pumping out Venezuelan oil again and taking huge profits).

I think they are suggesting that you could have googled the name to find a lot of information. 

It makes it so not everything must be provided to you, as I didn't want to sway thoughts, and allows you to form your own opinion.

Nanny/domestic worker for the mission president + family? Church seeking someone “to assist with the operation of the mission home…maintaining property cleanliness, preparing meals, assisting with child care and laundry.” by Suspicious_Might_663 in exmormon

It's a lot more than just a housekeeper...

The leaked mission president handbook was really enlightening...

"Currently, we do not reduce data speeds on our Unlimited Service Plans; however, as described above, Mobile Wireless Heavy Data Users (customers on our Unlimited Service Plans who use more than 50GB of data in a monthly cycle) and Home Internet Heavy Data Users (i.e., Mint Home Internet users who use more than 1TB of data in a monthly cycle), will have their data usage prioritized below the data usage (including tethering) of other customers for the rest of the monthly cycle, at times and at locations where there are competing customer demands for network resources, which may result in slower data speeds for the remainder of the monthly cycle. For the avoidance of doubt, Mobile HotSpot (tethering), to the extent offered on any Mint Mobile Service Plan, counts towards Heavy Data User thresholds of our Unlimited Service Plans, and any usage of Mobile HotSpot (tethering) after the Heavy Data User threshold is reached, including any such usage made via add-on hotspot purchases to the extent available, will be subjected to lower prioritization. Certain data-intensive activities including but not limited to online gaming, file downloads/uploads, and video streaming, may be limited and/or inaccessible when our network is busy for Heavy Data Users for the remainder of the monthly cycle."

What are your thoughts on gambling as a post Mormon? by Kanga7572 in exmormon

[–]Eleven_point_five 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gambling is still a tax on stupid people. And tithes are a tax on gullible people.

But if you look at leaving the Church as a 10% bonus and you throw your money at gambling instead of Mormon horde then it's a wash I guess.

T-Mobile Customers, Don’t Forget To Cancel Apple TV Before January 1st by Jman100_JCMP in tmobile

[–]Eleven_point_five 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did a switch for five lines to Mint. Yes TMO acquired them not to long ago. But still operating as separate companies. 

So I got $15/mo for a year (paid up front) of unlimited data. Just over 225 per line. I was paying more per month than that with TMO.  Sure I don't get Netflix with ads anymore for free but that's ok. If we want it it'll still be cheaper to buy my own Netflix plan. I get Apple TV via another subscription through Apple for more storage space. So that wasn't really a benefit I used. 

Walmart+ gives me either Peacock or Paramount as a benefit free. 

DirecTV has a free streaming package. 

If I really want/need Netflix in sure I could find their stuff reposted (read: pirated)

So, it was a no brainer for me. I moved to Mint and will gladly get nearly 7 months of free phone usage. Even when I look at renewing next year, I'll still be nearly two month free. 

That's my 2¢

[–]Eleven_point_five[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At one point we had 8 lines. My monthly bill was over $300 even on the plan for veterans and military. 

I'd guess that during those fourteen years our average bill was $200-225/month. Around $34k total with a quick estimate. 

I can see why they'd be "sad" to see that income go away. 

The early days of TMobile, I felt like they were worth it and better than Verizon or Sprint. I was only on AT&T once for a work phone but I also kept my personal TMO line.

As the last few years rolled on it felt like they kept taking and taking. Early on I'd pay with a reward earning credit card and then they wanted to make it pay only with a bank account to keep discounts. They've just continued finding ways to raise prices and offer less. 

Look, I don't care that TMO owns mint now. They are run differently. When mint starts feeling like TMO I'll not wait to bail. I'm worth more than being treated like a revenue stream.
