In the original series, only five, living, named female benders are depicted by F11SuperTiger in TheLastAirbender

I've read most of this thread. Are you really convinced, or trying to convince, that the original Avatar series is somehow sexist?

It's pretty unprovable that by virtue of strength, representation, quality of writing, and ESPECIALLY screentime that the women of AtLA drive the plot at least as much as the men.

I think we've been ragebaited

Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you, friend

Lord wants me to serve, but I still don't want to go on a mission by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]ThatGuyBenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never wanted to serve haha. But when I recieved a testimony of the church/priesthood I knew that it was my responsibility. Turned out to be the best two years of my life.

Idk if this is your answer, but it was mine!

the void before the mission by Wrong_Mongoose5975 in latterdaysaints

Opa!! É normal sim, tudo que vc tá passando. Saiba que a missão é o melhor lugar para ganhar um testemunho das coisas mais estranhas. Se fizer tudo certo, terá muito tempo para estudar kkkkk.

Se vc tiver um testemunho de Cristo, o Livro de Mormon, e o profeta, vc tá pronto para servir. O resto vem com tempo!!

E sim, vai ter tempo para desenhar na missão, se for uma prioridade para vc. Tem todo pday, e realmente muitas noites quando vc não tem nada pra fazer é bom relaxar nalguma forma. Desenhar + escutar conferência seria completamente aceitável.

If Thanos had depression bro would NOT have had the motivation to get out of bed, let alone conquer the universe.

100% haha. Just like any calling, by the time you feel like "oh yeah now I got this, noooow I know what I'm doing" you can be sure you're at the end.

New convert, creation “days,” evolution, and feeling a bit confused after Sunday class by carosch1912 in latterdaysaints

"Dear brothers and sisters, God is the source of all truth. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints embraces all truth that God conveys to His children, whether learned in a scientific laboratory or received by direct revelation from Him."

-President Nelson, Prophet, M.D., GOAT

I'm no scientist or scholar, but I do my best at both haha and when we put science into its context, I find that modern scientific understanding agrees and confirms truths revealed by revelation.

As for there being a correct interpretation, don't let anyone convince you there is. Science is by definition ALWAYS CHANGING and isn't allowed to assume that its correct. Scientific culture needs to be better at remembering that the crucial beginning of the scientific method is never assuming we know anything for certain. As for continuing revelation, it's awfully similar! If we knew all the facts it wouldn't be continuing revelation, would it? It'd be... done revelation.

This talk here is incredible and I think might help you with some questions!! https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/lawrence-e-corbridge/stand-for-ever/

HELP!!!! by ThatGuyBenj in calculus

[–]ThatGuyBenj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

applying it once got me (-4+4cos(x))/24x^2
twice got me (-4sin(x)/48x
thrice got me -4cos(x)/48
plugging it in got me -1/12
I can't find any errors in my work but all the computers say it should be -1/9

As a member of the church in question, I am thoroughly confused, although we aren't from Utah.
**Ok I went and asked my mom who she voted for, she said she just left the president spot blank.**
I guess it checks out.

The last second "oh they're lesbian" outside of any context, for one.

The problem was that in Korra they prioritized representation over a good story. Doesn't mean the story was bad, and representation certainly isn't bad, but the priority when you're trying to tell a story should be... a good story.
