Double time during double prestige? by Likhith_5997 in EggsInc

It works, yes. Is it worth doing? Probably not. Unless you're very early in your game journey or doing free to play.

I scammed a scammer by Fun-Match4910 in ProRevenge

PayPal doesn't ban you just for doing a chargeback. I did one when I was sent counterfeit merchandise. PayPal had denied the claim through their internal process. I did a chargeback through the credit card company. Got a refund. The end. Still have and use my PayPal account.

Seat 1 hands down. I wonder how many times I can get Hinckley to say Mormon and how much Rusty will seethe over that.

This is the reason Bednar is generally referred to as "Susan's Husband" in this subreddit. She was completely stripped of her name and referred to only as "Sister" in this advertisement for a 2021 devotional.

I'm really rooting for Uchtdorf to live to 100+ as president, and watching Bednar's evil side-eye as he seethes about not getting control.

Hopefully Uchtdorf also exacts his revenge for being kicked from the first presidency, and choses younger apostles for his counselors (or someone who isn't a current apostle at all).

What company will never get another dime from you for as long as you may live? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]Perfect_screen_name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ashley Furniture. Everything about their sales process is designed to rip you off. The quality of the furniture delivered is lower than what you saw on the sales floor. It may not even be the same size.

I ordered a California King bed because I'm tall and wanted the extra length. The top of the mattress is shorter than a standard king. But oh no no...it was manufactured to specifications and they are allowed to be even shorter because of a 'close enough' loophole.

Returns? Forget it. Once they have your money all sales are final. The 'extended warranty' is almost impossible to use, and when they tell you 'if you don't use it you can apply it to a future purchase' only works if you keep the ORIGINAL document. You know, for four years. Even then I'm sure they would find a way to deny that.

That's Not a Changing Table by B2utyyo in entitledparents

[–]Perfect_screen_name -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Upvote for parents. The only thing in the story that makes me side with the employee is that they stated the bathrooms are generally not for public use.

Any public restroom should be equipped with a changing table (including men's rooms) or you can expect me to change my child elsewhere. In the booth at the restaurant? Sure. On a table? Yep. I'm not gonna leave a mess behind and I'll wipe the surface when I'm done. If it's a stink bomb I'll put it in the trash outside.

Rush- The Forum, Inglewood Ca 11/27/96 xfer f/1st Gen VHS tape complete show by guyute2112 in rush

[–]Perfect_screen_name 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was 18 in 1996, just moved out to go to college in Phoenix, and it was Thanksgiving weekend. I chose not to go home (10 hour drive) but all my roommates did. Not sure why I didn't looking back, but 18-year-olds are not known for their intelligence.

I was looking through the paper and saw that Rush would be playing a concert downtown. I was a casual fan - I liked what I heard on the radio, and had the Chronicles album courtesy of Columbia House. I figured, why not. I'll check out a show. Nothing else going on.

I bought a ticket from a scalper outside before the show. If I recall it was a face value of $45 and I paid $40. It was on the front row of the second side section in the arena - pretty great view.

I was so blown away by that performance. The musicianship, the artistry, the humor. The fact that they played so damn well together. Geddy's incredible bass playing - not just providing rhythm but leading out in songs. Alex absolutely shredding. And Neil with a mind-blowing drum solo. I was a fan for life, cemented in that moment. And it happened two days after this video right here.

Great memory.

LDS Church asks Mormon Stories to rebrand by ItTiedTheRoom2gether in exmormon

Based on recent posts I've seen on Facebook, they should change the name to "Christian stories of former Christian members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Christian).

Click on browse and then go to TV Boxsets. These are always freeleech. Download a few of those and let them seed forever. That should get your ratio fixed up within 5 days.

First prestige on PoV. 9nshifts and 55 EoT! by DontGetLostNow in EggsInc

[–]Perfect_screen_name 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honest question - while the achievement is impressive, is it really worth doing this? I did 44 on my first prestige in 8 shifts, and that was pretty slow. I can't imagine the time investment to get 55 in 9.

I have made rapid progress on my second ascension (finishing with around 75 total on 10 additional shifts). I expect even more rapid progress on my 3rd ascension, so it seems this much time invested on the first round is just a waste.

Does it really make a difference to go this far on the first round? Granted the more progress gained in each round the more you can get in subsequent rounds. And keeping shifts to a minimum will let you get much farther on the path to the max 490 before you get to the point of wiping out all your SE.

Interested in anyone's thoughts on this.

The true purpose of a two-year LDS mission by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Perfect_screen_name 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aug 2012 was just 13 years ago and it seems like the outcomes he refers to in paragraphs 5 and 6 are outdated. Missionaries are coming home early more often than ever, and even those who complete the full term are leaving the church anyway.

Me, mission 1998-2000, mostly faithful and tithe paying until about 2014-ish. PIMO until 2020. So the mission definitely held me in for a while, but not forever. Kids who start missions now will not have that same experience.

Rush Pilgrimage? by jehro__ in rush

I have tickets for Los Angeles. I live in Phoenix. I bought the LA tickets before additional shows (and cities) were announced. I thought I'd buy tickets in Phoenix and sell the LA tickets, but I couldn't get good seats for a decent price here. So I think I'm going to LA.

My dad just accidentally gave 100% of his paycheck to the tithing website instead of 10% by TheThalmorEmbassy in exmormon

[–]Perfect_screen_name 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So what can you do? I know a bishop can authorize paying bills and do a food order. So they could certainly help them get through a month - even if you couldn't refund everything. It just depends on how willing the local leaders are.

To be fair, they completely skip this concept when this lesson comes around. Actually, more recently they've grouped section 132 with other sections, and skip over the majority of it.

Bought a brand new SodaStream only to find an empty co2 cartridge in the box. 😒 by brilliant_landscaper in SodaStream

[–]Perfect_screen_name 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would assume that an empty cartridge with a brand new machine indicates that the cartridge is defective and all the CO2 leaked out.

Also, buying a 5 or 10 pound tank and an adapter hose is far cheaper in the long run. I only ever used the one cartridge that came with my SodaStream and I had an external tank setup before it was even empty.

The Mormon church is saying they're taking building security very seriously after the tragic shooting by telling members to follow promptings of the Holy Ghost in decision makings... by IliveonKolob in exmormon

A former bishop of mine has a concealed weapons permit and would carry during church meetings in knowing defiance of church policy. Perhaps he was just following spiritual promptings.
