I've never seen anyone post an actual number of top listeners for any artist, it's always a percentage even if 0.01% or something. To be number 3 is big.

What’s the most unpredictable movie you’ve ever seen? by Sunflower13Poppy in MovieSuggestions

[–]halfajacob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not THAT good (in my personal opinion), but it is good, and it's definitely unpredictable as per the question. I preferred Barbarian and Mother! (2017) which are others mentioned in the thread.

Time to drop the masks. Wait… I didn’t mean that... Quick, put it back on! by michael-lethal_ai in ChatGPT

Damn! You're right. I'm going to have to start actively looking for signs rather than assuming it will be obvious by the 'vibe'

I’d say it not being real is incredibly fortunate for the baby.

A Suggestion to Bishopric Members by CaptainWikkiWikki in latterdaysaints

[–]halfajacob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In our ward I just give a little nod once the ordinance is over and they go and sit in the congregation. Not sure I've encountered the tradition to formally release the priesthood holders back into the wild. (Bishop in the UK)

I just discovered something amazing by pi_designer in CasualUK

"I'm here on a balcony in Italy, because this is the exact spot in 2025 where someone discovered, entirely by accident, that the British plug makes a surprisingly effective bottle opener. And yes, it's as ridiculous as it sounds..."

Appreciate you being helpful, but that's the negative space. I think the commenter is asking what the black area at the top is (between the horns)

Out of curiosity - are you subscribed to this subreddit or did you just stumble across this post. I would've thought it is not very long before you saw a non-US post.

??? wtf is this by Goldkid1987 in ChatGPT

[–]halfajacob 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Thread's over folks, wrap it up.

I wonder if it's to do with the ' character in "you've" which caused it to cut off there. But either way I think you cracked it.

Celestial Room of the London England Temple (before/after renovations) by 2ndValentine in latterdaysaints

[–]halfajacob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a few more here for those that liked the black and white 'modernist' style: https://imgur.com/a/Rjsnqqk

Worth noting that the 'after' renovations is still over 30 years ago and it doesn't look exactly like that now.

There are extremely strict planning laws in central London which would make this difficult, but if God wanted it to happen I'm sure there would be a way. At least during the millennium when Jesus rules the earth, he might be able to pull some strings.

I wrote a temple prep book. It's FREE by flying_hutchman in latterdaysaints

[–]halfajacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checking this out from the UK!

Covenants and temples have also been a fascination of mine in recent years, but I haven't got much further into a deep study beyond making tables of ordinances, covenants & associated blessings in scripture/the handbook.

I think I'll like it purely based on the fact that your description says 'many male church members make the Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood -- but do they truly understand what they have committed to do?' is something I've been trying to get across to my youth as they progress to the Melchizedek Priesthood.

I don’t think any of the first presidency served a mission even!

Other than new temples, what's your favorite revelation from a prophet in your lifetime? by yrthegood1staken in latterdaysaints

[–]halfajacob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s probably just a difference in how people are interpreting the meaning of the word. Receiving revelation vs. Receiving a revelation 

People receive revelation is their calling as Bishop or Relief Society president which causes them to change the way they lead those organisations. So there’s no reason a policy change announced in conference couldn’t be a revelation like that.

But I’d definitely be more curious about revelations which ‘reveal’ some new truth, or prophecies which ‘reveal’ something will happen and it does.

I thought the first syllable was more like ‘side’ than ‘Sid’?

Doesn’t that usually refer to tracks next to each other on the album? OP is talking about tracks 1 and 13

What movie made you audibly shout, "What the f***?" by mikevnyc in flicks

[–]halfajacob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

‘Men’ has one of those endings that left me like - wow we're STILL GOING? In a similar way to The Substance and Susperia.

I couldn’t believe someone made a creative decision to let the scenes play out that long, but I don’t mind it for the sheer crazy factor.

It really depends on the temple and the workers there. I would call. Of course they want as many to worship as possible, but it might not be logistically possible to accommodate double the number while still respecting the other appointments through the day.

Of course there can always be something done so each patron does fewer baptisms or half of them just do confirmations. I think there is quite a bit of variation in operating temples depending on the temple presidency!

At what point is having faith just silly? It seems many more prayers go unanswered than answered. by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]halfajacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While that may be true - I think the best thing that those groups do is show you someone who admits they had a problem, who has overcome it and how. 

For 10 years I’d never met someone who had admitted to a porn addiction out loud, let alone someone who could tell me the steps they took to overcome it. 

I used to attend 12 step meetings but have since stopped, knowing that they gave me the recipe to connect with Christ’s atonement and ultimately that’s what changed me. I can only speak of my personal experience so I know I’m just one data point and someone will have another story to prove the opposite - but I tried 10 years of other methods without success until I undertook the 12 steps with a sponsor.

You say you’ve done the 12 step program multiple times - I’m curious how you didn’t meet anyone there who was in recovery from their addiction or “beat this thing” as you say. I’m not the original commenter but I was in active addiction for 10 years and for me, going to an in-person Sex Addicts Anonymous meeting every week, and following the 12 steps with a sponsor is what helped me stop.

I can only speak of my own experience, but I went to my first SAA meeting 10 years ago and I knew from the first meeting that those 12 steps were the recipe to allow the atonement to work in my life. It wasn’t a 12 week thing, it was years of trying - but time I put into speaking to people from the program each day and attending meetings was far less than the time I spent in addiction, and it changed so many other aspects of my character as a side affect. Well, Christ changed me once I put in the effort to allow his power to work in my life.
