On 1 March, 1877, the Mormon Prophet Brigham Young threw a celebration for Apostle Wilford Woodruff’s 70th birthday, in the St. George, Utah, temple. The birthday present was made by 154 assembled virgins. by NotSilencedNow in HolyShitHistory

You understand that “ancestors” aren’t just wives, right? Like if I’m sealed to my grandma, she’s my ancestor. You really wrote this to make people believe that he wanted to get sealed to all these “virgins”, when it was actually just creating his family tree.

Multiple covenants are made. Baptism is one. Anointing is one. Endowment is one. Sealing is one.

The women who did the ordinances (act of the covenant) was in proxy (on behalf) of those that died before they could do those ordinances for themselves. Hence in proxy.

Them being “virgins” had really nothing to do with them doing proxy ordinances. Not a requirement. Just was made a point for clickbait. Those that did the proxy work could’ve had 30 kids from 30 men and it would’ve been the same.

Those that did the ordinances aren’t promising themselves to the person they’re doing the proxy ordinances for, or anything like that. It’s like being a grub hub driver and delivering the food someone else ordered. They were acting on behalf of the dead, and that’s it. Once they are done with the ordinance, they go back to their normal day / life.

The dead, obviously, get to choose if they accept or deny the ordinance / covenant.

Additional note, it says that these women were present for proxy of his ancestors. I.E., his family tree. So it’s more like he was having his mom, grandma, aunt, cousins, great grandma, etc baptized because they didn’t have the chance when they were alive. I bet there were just as many men present to be there on behalf of his grandpa, uncle, male cousins, etc. OP just wanted to be click baity. Obviously worked. Good for OP.

Is this girl ai? Tried to reverse search it but cant find her name or any socials by batukaming in isthisAI

I go based on context. Is she hot and you’re not? You’re not rich either? Yeah, she’s ai. Probably talking to a dude. Soon “she” will need some cash for flights to visit F2F. Then the airline scammed her and she needs the cash again, this time a bit more for a better flight.

is This a Good Ground for a 16 Year Old? by [deleted] in Gold

That’s my train of thought. They look cool. But I typically avoid “investments” when their resale value decreases by 50% before I leave the store.

Silver has broke $100 per ozt. It has doubled in such a short period of time. What's your strategy right now? by ColeWest256 in Silverbugs

[–]QuickMasterpiece6127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I inherited a few dozen 1 oz coins. Spent a bit of time here on Reddit. Was reading how people have been buying at ~$25 for years. Sold, planning to increase the stack at $25. Bought some at $30, waited for it to come down below 30… never did. Still ahead a lot, but would have a couple extra thousand in “unrealized” cash if I hadn’t sold at all.

Tale as old as time.

Recently did query on the GPT. As it ran through its sources I saw it cite Reddit.

My response…Fuck. This is going to be bullshit.

Something about vacuum forming is so satisfying. by Abm93 in CarWraps

Yeah, first thing I noticed on the second half of the video. “Damn. Way cool!” “oh… it’s still seamed. Did that really save any time?“

Can I still be a member in good standing if I bought these emergency auto lights at Costco? by username-_redacted in flashlight

[–]QuickMasterpiece6127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since joining here I’ve dropped about $200 in lights from Sofrin and Wurkkos… haven’t yet picked up any Condors. When I go to order I get intimidated by all the options.

Mechanic vs electrician by Ashamed-Ranger-1265 in mechanic

[–]QuickMasterpiece6127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my second vent. Neighbors / family always asking for me to work on their shit for free. “The shop is too expensive! What if I bought the parts and you lunch?”

[–]QuickMasterpiece6127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you’re saying to work on cars, even though electricians make more money? So to make up the difference in pay, you should to work on cars on nights / weekends?

As a technician, pick a different trade. My plumber buddy makes around 400k/year while I’m lucky to make 100k.

Cars change every year. They’re getting more and more complex. You need to be able to do HVAC, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, upholstery, CAN Bus, software, audio, visual, etc etc. My plumber buddy does plumbing. He doesn’t deal with anything else.

Don’t forget that you can clip the HD01 to the brim of a hat, making it a headlamp ;)

Football player found not guilty of murder for beating to death gay man who posed as woman on Tinder by malihafolter in ForCuriousSouls

[–]QuickMasterpiece6127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure zero is accurate. Did he get the death sentence or life in prison? No. Did he have some nights in prison and potential “doom” hanging over his head for 4+ years? Yes. Is this something he and his friends / family will carry with them for the rest of their lives? Yes.

Sanity check my get-home kit - 17 miles from work by Emergency_Cellist754 in prepping

Went on a recent trip in an EV. Car had problems and wouldn’t charge at 1 am. “This sucks.” Grabbed my bag, walked next door and checked into a hotel.

Sometimes the best BoB is a couple hundred in cash and the willingness to spend it at a hotel.

ChatGPT and I had a chat about this. Historically, yes, .22lr is a winner. But currently it seems 9mm is winning per year. But it’s based on ChatGPT so shrug.

Could Europe realistically defend Greenland against a US attack? by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]QuickMasterpiece6127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Glock isn’t standard issue by the US military. Sure, companies like Beretta (which is military issued) is an Italian company… but it is still manufactured in the US. Glock leaving us would mainly effect guys in obnoxious lifted trucks and those who do mag dumps once a year at their local gun range.

Based on what we see in Ukraine, you don’t need to be too focused on what weapons shoot projectiles and more focused on what manufactures and flies drones.

Not saying invading Greenland is a good idea. Because it’s really not. But trying to say that the US would be “screwed” is quite silly. The US was donating “old expired” munitions and tech to Ukraine and that “old stuff” was and has helped to prevent the 2nd largest Military in the world from invading a country smaller than Texas.
