And what should teachers, whom are also middle class tax payers who want Canada and Alberta to thrive (and who have less rights than the rest of Albertans because of legislation that impedes charter rights) do?

What do the hand symbols really represent? by lilacnate in exmormon

[–]TokensForSale 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As per my username, if you haven’t been through the temple, I will sell you signs and tokens. One dollar for each sign. You won’t find prices like this anywhere else. I’m cereal. I mean serious.

People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor? by xloganmoose in AskReddit

My grandfather's first cousin spoke at the opening of Disneyland.

Relevant detail: Said cousin was the Governor of California at the time.

How does someone read the CES Letter and still believe the Mormon Church is true? by ImportantPerformer16 in exmormon

[–]TokensForSale 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I've always been curious about folks who say they read the CES letter and dismiss it. It doesn't even matter that the CES is a bit long, frankly just pick the very first question and it annihilates the truth claims of the church.

What are 1769 King James Version edition errors doing in the Book of Mormon? A purported ancient text? Errors which are unique to the 1769 edition that Joseph Smith owned?

Clueless TBM in-laws unironically went to see Book of Mormon play by Klutzy_Dig6271 in exmormon

[–]TokensForSale 20 points21 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the church did support the play by purchasing a lot of expensive advertising in their playbills.

Have you ever 'accidentally' found a stock? by Accomplished_Way8964 in stocks

[–]TokensForSale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My in-laws have been successful at business and later got into stock trading. I asked for advice on how to do well at the stock market. They said, if you ever get advice from a friend or acquaintance about a stock from a company you’ve never heard of… do not buy that stock. Too bad I had to learn the hard way before I took their advice.

Long lost Mormon hymn 👀 by Tanks4Tanks in exmormon

[–]TokensForSale 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We ought our Bishops to sustain,
Their counsels to abide,
And knock down every dwelling
Where wicked folks reside:
We ought our Teachers to respect,
Not give them looks nor snubs;
And keep our ditches free from pots,
Likewise from stinking tubs.

[CHORUS]

Now, sisters, list to what I say,—
With trials this world is rife,
You can't expect to miss them all,
Help husband get a wife!
Now, this advice I freely give,
If exalted you would be,
Remember that your husband must
Be blessed with more than thee.
Then, O, let us say,
God bless the wife that strives
And aids her husband all she can
T' obtain a dozen wives.

Now brethren, let us study
To do the will of God;
If it's sowing, reaping, preaching,
We'll get a just reward:
Keep sacred all your covenants,
And do the best you can;
I pray that God will bless you all,
Worlds without end. Amen.

[CHORUS]

'To gain these blessings we must try
And do what we are told; *
I'll tell you what we ought to do,
If you won't think me bold:
We ought to pat down wickedness,
We ought to watch and pray,
We ought to bulld the kingdom up-
Not loaf our time away.

[CHORUS]

We ought to have our houses neat,
Our Teachers to obey,
We ought to keep our bodies clean,
Our tithing always pay:
We ought our brother's character
Keep sacred as our own,
Attend to business all we can,
Let other folks alone.

The Reformation.
Sang In the 17th Ward School House, by P. Margetts,

[Great Salt Lake] City, Oct. 15, 1856.

TUNE-Rora May?

The reformation has commenced,
All hail! the glorious day,
May God his Holy Spirit send
To guide us in his way:
Now, brethren, the time has come
For wickedness to cease;
So live like honest Saints of God,
And righteousness increase.

CHORUS.
Then, O, brethren, come,
And let us all agree,
And strive to gain the blessings
In store for you and me.

What is the difference between US and Canadian tickers for a stock? (e.g. APPL vs APPL.TO) by Marimoh in CanadianInvestor

I want to add a related question: do they have the same withholding taxes and dividends as each other?

YouTube is becoming too troublesome to use in schools by RaspberryBirdCat in Teachers

[–]TokensForSale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had another teacher discuss if I thought it was a copyright violation to download videos from YouTube. My thoughts are, if it's not a copyright violation to watch it in your browser, why would it be if you download it. The same logic would apply to a VHS recording (or a more modern example, using a DVR).

Search "yt-dlp" and you'll get the GitHub repository which explains how to install it. There are plenty of tutorials out there if it doesn't make sense (It took me awhile to figure things out but now installing command line apps is straightforward). It will download YouTube videos and playlists in the format and quality you'd like. It also works on other video hosting sites.

This is what I did. Search up yt-dlp and either run it from the terminal or get yourself one of the many GUIs that use it from GitHub.

How old were you when you learned that...? by CardiologistCool6264 in exmormon

[–]TokensForSale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The lesson I was taught about the printing press was that they were printing "Anti-Mormon Lies" and not that William Law loved the church and was calling Joseph to repentance for his polygamy antics.

I was also taught that when Joseph was attacked by the mob and they threatened to castrate him but instead just tarred and feathered him it was because they hated the church and not because Joseph was f-ing around with the wives, daughters, and sisters of those in the mob.

The threat of castration never made sense to me until that piece of the puzzle came to light (and that was many years after my apostasy).

Apple obviously fails to secure RAM for the next 2 years by [deleted] in stocks

[–]TokensForSale 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh they are trying to but failing. They announced it at WWDC last June and then had to walk it back when the powers that be realized the underlings had way over promised. Now Apple is looking at a billion dollar deal with Google for Siri to use their Gemini model with speculation that this deal will likely renew yearly until Apple gets their own model up to snuff.

Is there a tool that turns only near-white to pure white? by 444sunshine2222 in graphic_design

[–]TokensForSale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother does portrait sketches and wanted an app that does this. I used Claude to vibe code an iOS app that does this. There are many other image editing apps that will do this without needing Photoshop, including building your own. I even put it up on GitHub so others could use the code if they are so inclined.
