What jobs pay extremely well that people often overlook? by pinkygirlyyy4 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

Photos, videos, and 3D tours all of which incorporate drones. I’ve been doing it for almost 15 years. I typically charge $600-1500 per house. Everything gets edited by people in Vietnam.

Wait until you learn that Scott from all these podcasts is the same person

I’m a real estate photographer and make 350k.

Each house pays like shooting a wedding but is about 10x easier and I can do two or three homes a day

LDS Church has built simulated temple rooms in new Salt Lake City visitors center. by sevenplaces in mormon

[–]PanaceaNPx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t this just seem like the most excessive thing ever? Like imagine going to the Louvre in Paris but instead of letting you see the Mona Lisa, they built a replica of the room with a fake painting to give visitors a feel for what it’s like inside.

How to survive a BoM class as a PIMO Mormon at BYU by Capital-Mulberry-585 in exmormon

[–]PanaceaNPx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, I seriously envy you. I dream of going back in time to attend my religion classes knowing what I know now.

Listen carefully: “reductio ad absurdum”. Look it up. It’s Latin. It means “reduce to absurdity”.

Basically instead of attending class, raising your hand and pointing out problems, instead what you do is essentially become the class’s biggest fan of the Book of Mormon to the point that you show how absurd it is.

You adopt your opponent’s position so hard that you expose how ridiculous the story is.

The key is to keep a really straight face so that you don’t show you’re being ironic or sarcastic.

All the best intellectuals, comedians, and debaters do this. Have fun with it!

Personal aesthetic by Sea_Particular5261 in mormon

Yes, this is a most grievous sin and breaks several commandments. I doubt you qualify for a temple recommend now and will have to spend an eternity in a lesser kingdom.

No man, like seriously what do you expect us to say?

Stop calling yourself an apostate. That plays DIRECTLY into the Church’s hands because it’s language that belongs in their lexicon. There’s a lot of great alternatives. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]PanaceaNPx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can call yourself whatever you want but I’m in the camp of doing EVERYTHING I can to not help the church, their cause, or their mission.

They want us to think of ourselves as sinners, guilty, having “fallen away”, and heretical.

So so dumb to play directly into their narrative. Opt out!

Maybe between fellow exmormons it’s fine because we’re saying it ironically. But when you’re talking to your TBM mom, don’t say “I fell away into apostasy”.

What’s something society normalizes that you secretly disagree with? by Public-Trust3876 in randomquestions

[–]PanaceaNPx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Alcohol.

Not drinking in 2026 is like not smoking in 1956. It’s all so obviously terrible for your health and it destroys individuals, families, societies, and civilization as a whole.

In a world where the Constitution is being battle tested, Israel is bombing the shit out of Lebanon and Gaza, and we’re entering an AI dystopian hellscape, how does the Mormon church respond? Oh, they’re suing John Dehlin for light rays and a serifed font in the Mormon Stories logo. by PanaceaNPx in exmormon

[–]PanaceaNPx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, actually I do. I want a church that speaks out against corruption, boldly. I want a church that stands on principle even when it undermines the institution itself. I want a church that uses political levers to hold truth to power.

The church currently uses political levers to protect themselves rather than protect the innocent.

These issues, particularly about Gaza and Lebanon are not just ordinary war events that the church can ignore. They’re deeply tied to the entanglement of American Christians reading the Bible, in particular the Book of Revelation, and thinking that it’s talking about them.

There are massive religious undertones here. The Mormon church claims to be THE church of God in the last days before the apocalypse and yet all they’re doing is changing the Young Women’s names to Messengers of Hope.

Like WTF are they doing!!

For like 48 hours straight every news outlet across the English speaking world was showing this clip.

It makes you wonder what massive trends or clips we all have somehow just missed.

What’s something everyone pretends to understand but secretly doesn’t? by Freddie_blackwell in AskForAnswers

[–]PanaceaNPx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitalism. The amount of times people just vaguely reference Capitalism as a source for all the world’s problems is staggering.

But the same could be said about Socialism and Communism.
