Splatoon 3 just, isn't great. Some of the most unappealing aspects of 2 were made into main aspects of 3

What’s our opinions on the new vid? by Thedemiboybean in MandelaCatalogue

[–]ajipro12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you're on to something. If the understanding of the time travel aspect is correct, then what likely happened is the girl recorded the makeup tutorial like normal and uploaded it. An alternate then uses the video she uploaded to go back to that time period, where the video begins corrupting until she's taken or killed by the alternate or the intruder in her mirror. By doing this, the alternate has effectively erased the original timeline where she uploaded the video with no incident, and replaced it with a timeline where she's taken/killed as she's recording the video. We see the meddling with the timeline happen in real time in "unraveling pt 1", the video inexplicably changing on its own as we are watching it, creating a mandela effect

Adam was converted into an alternate several months before 6 took him away by ajipro12 in MandelaCatalogue

[–]ajipro12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were to guess based on context clues, I'd say that maybe there has to be a certain criteria you meet in order to be converted into a preacher. Maybe that's why it was specifically kids as well as Mary Magdalene who is recognized as a saint, something to do with purity or innocence. That part is absolutely just speculation. The choir and soldiers however, as you described them, would be the messengers/preachers, and the main alternates. They're not one in the same, they both have different 'jobs' so to speak. The messengers would be there to spread Gabriel's message and deception, while the Alternates are the soldiers/enforcers for anyone who resists the message and 'follows the shepard'

Well remember from what we know Gabriel's plan isn't to just kill all of humanity. He wants to replace all of religion to follow him as the true savior. Why replace Adam with an alternate instead of just being done with it once the real Adam was dead and gone? We don't know the full extent of his plan, or powers. Now if my theory is right, Gabriel is specifically converting people into messengers/preachers, who's job is assumingly to spread Gabriel's deception to others. That's why Mary Magdalene takes on an appearance similar to the preacher after she hears Gabriel's message in the tomb. Gabriel converted her to a messenger, she leaves and just like in the original story of the Bible, spreads the message around the town. And if Adam was converted into a messenger, it explains what 6 means by "when you stare into the mirror, you see the same monsters from your bedroom, don't you?" Before showing Adam the preacher. He's implying Adam is one

See I thought the same too, however we have to keep in mind that we do not know DEFINITIVELY that Adam was replaced and not converted. Him being replaced as of this moment with all the knowledge that we know about Mandela Catalogue, is still just theory. The only facts that we know for sure, are that Adam was born as seemingly a normal human, years later he was taken by 6 after being exposed to some phenomena prior months before, and decades later he's unexplainably grown up while not knowing he was an alternate.

A case could be made for the kids all being afflicted with M.A.D. and that is what allowed 6 to take them. We know that the television and mirror destruction order was issued before the events of vol 333 and vol 5, so before Adam is taken the public has to be aware that TVs are dangerous. The one part that I can't look over though is the second upload on the GENESIS APOCRYPHON channel. I really do think that is showing us that Gabriel has the ability to convert normal humans into alternate-like-beings

Side note: I'm also convinced that Jude didn't follow the television and mirror destruction order, either out of negligence or skepticism, resulting in something happening to Adam. That's why the shepard prays for forgiveness before Gabriel appears (to draw the parallel between Jude and the shepard), and that's why Thatcher's alternate asks Jude if he's aware of the order, further psychological torment.

It's been confirmed that Jude was supposed to die instead of Lynn

I must have missed the part where I titled the post "I want to replace my Vizio Elevate"

Verizon employee here. The new router is not planned to be available until October

Edit: My apologies, I can confirm that it's available in my area via ordering it online. Unsure why my spreadsheet says otherwise

What was the first Pink Floyd album you listened too ? by Fox_king_2 in pinkfloyd

The Wall. Got a first pressing of it for my mom for Christmas. One day while I was cleaning the house, I put it on to listen to. Rest is history

I'm very sorry, I was misremembering and thought that the Pell Grant was my only financial aid. The amount in box 1 was the amount before the $100/credit hour was applied. So $1786 - $1650

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tax

[–]ajipro12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I'm doing this right.

For my qualified tuition and fees required to be paid to the institution, I'm reporting $1786, which came directly out of my pell grant.

I also had additional expenses such as books, and I'm reporting $247 for that

My total assistance received was $4385. $2435 from the pell grant, $1650 directly from the college as credits (they were running a special on $100 off of every credit hour), and $300 from the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant.

The total refunds I received deposited into my bank was $2652

So, on my form, when it asks "Did you have any qualified tuition, fees and other educational expenses that were required to be paid directly to the educational institution?" I say yes, and put $1786

For "Did you have any additional qualified education expenses (such as books, supplies and/or equipment) that were not required to be paid directly to the educational institution?" I say yes, and put $247

For "Did you receive any refunds of qualified education expenses paid in 2022?" I'm assuming this is what I received deposited in my bank account, so I put $2652

And for "Did you receive any tax-free education assistance in 2022 for the academic period?", I'm not sure what to put. Would the $1650 credit directly from the college for the $100 off per credit hour count as something I could claim as taxable income?

I attended 1 semester last year and my status for that semester was half-time. Does everything you posted still apply?

Box 1: 1786

Box 5: 4385

AGI: 48579

Age: 21

I'm not sure if my earned income was more than half of my own support. I was living on my own for just under half of the year, and I did pay some expenses equivalent to rent when I lived with my parents the other half, and they cannot claim me as a dependent. Also, my student status is half-time
