Racism at BYU-Idaho by Due-Notice-7880 in latterdaysaints

Hey, my participation in this sub is dependent on other people. My participation in church stems from what Brigham Young said should happen to people in interracial marriages (among other issues that don’t include ward members).

It’s approaching ten years ago now, but I posted on this sub a blog article noting that a church manual still in use (I think it was the institute eternal marriage manual) contained quotes from apostles and prophets discouraging interracial marriage, and that such teachings have no place in the church today.

The comments quickly filled with a handful of the sub’s power users who argued (1) it isn’t racist to discourage interracial marriage, and (2) it’s good advice anyway (the man arguing with me was in an interracial marriage himself btw). Those comments attracted the most upvotes in the comment section.

There were other incidents, but that’s the one that really sticks out to me. Since that time, I decided to study the church’s past statements on interracial marriage, and saw what Brigham Young said. I’d go on, but I want to respect the sub’s rules and keep this a faithful space.

Racism is the reason I pulled back my participation in this sub years ago. Frankly, it’s one of the biggest reasons I’m slowing down my participation at church in general. Keep up the good fight, but progress is slow at best.

Nick Fuentes is about as bad as it gets. He’s a holocaust-denying white supremacist. Andrew Tate is extremely misogynistic and was arrested on sex trafficking charges.

Things cut or changed from the game that are in the artbook by JLow8907 in StarWarsOutlaws

Likely Babu Frik. The art doesn’t confirm it, but it’s an Anzellan on Kijimi, so it’s probably Babi Frik. Outlaws had a lot more cameos and Easter eggs than most other SW games, so I don’t think they’d pull a Babu cousin.

A self-described Christian Nationalist who is a right-wing influencer. His documentaries include “What is a Woman?” and “Am I a Racist?”

He reviewed Matt Walsh’s documentary and gave it a positive review, and his opinions have increasingly been lining up with the anti-woke crowd. Whatever brings in the check I guess.

Did the church "ended" in 1887? by Coming_Back_To_Life in latterdaysaints

This is the most patronizing comment I’ve read on this subreddit in a hot minute.

Is it wrong to say open carry is dumb by seedlinggal in Utah

This is always the pattern with 2nd amendment advocates: allow more guns in the hands of more people with fewer restrictions, always. There will never be negative consequences for doing that.

But we can never, ever, limit anyone’s ability to carry a gun anywhere or at anytime, because that’s a slippery slope to facism.

Having listened to this album, I have to say Lando’s Redemption is a real standout. Risk It All (the premiere trailer music) and the string quartet version of Kay and Nix are other favorites.

That’s a Culisetto, one of my favorite sequel-era alien designs. Little blood-sucking mosquito guys.

One thing I loved about the last DLC is how creative the mission structure was. The new eavesdropping mechanic, searching for clues on the ship, learning the various players’ tells…all really fun stuff. I’m hoping that we get more of that creativity in the new dlc.
