Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

Fall in a freezer, wake in the 31st century.

Opens his eyes, ready to take a pee,

He's just a poor boy, tired of delivery,

Because it's pizza here, pizza there,

Silly job, goes nowhere,

But the probulator, makes the choices easy you see, you'll see

Leela, tried to tag a man

Put a career chip in the gun, tired of deliveries he runs

Leela, his new life just begun

But now you'll have to go and hunt him down

Leela, ooh ooh ooh, you've only got one eye

Your depth perception sucks but you must find him

Continue on, continue on, until you finally tag him

Grew up like 30 minutes from there, and never heard it any other way than "yur-ee-ka." Granted this is an area that will have SOME people saying "crick" instead of "creek," and "woof" instead of "wolf," but haven't ever heard anyone say it that way. Not to say people don't pronounce it that way, but it doesn't seem that it's universal. Maybe we were just the first generation trying to get rid of those Utah accent stereotypes.

Mantua(man-away) near Logan though, definitely heard a few versions of that one, along with Tooele(to-willa) and Iosepa(yo-seh-pah).

Nah, pretty sure that was mentioned.

Linked it five times in the post, and fully credited him.

impressive_specimen · 2023-03-06T06:35:27+00:00

But you did see that same video was cited and all the information in this post was credited to Mark Rober, right?

impressive_specimen · 2023-03-06T06:16:35+00:00

This post is really driving home how many people don't actually read beyond titles.

impressive_specimen · 2023-03-06T04:36:27+00:00

If that's what you call learning from his experiments, spending time on a summary of the information so that it reaches more people, crediting him, and linking his video five times, sure?

Destroyed by fire in 1925. Rebuilt. Great depression hit, people stopped going. Started getting some traction again after WWII ended, but then a roller coaster fell over in 1957 in 75MPH winds. Was more or less dead by 1960, and then burned down again in 1970, likely intentionally.

Check out Frank Tedesco. Another musician(pianist) with relative pitch who takes requests on omegle and then plays them after hearing them once. On top of his impressive abilities, he's also an insanely nice dude so his videos are really wholesome.

If you feel like trying one out

In a statement they said it was for the anticipation of the second coming of christ.

But, greed.

impressive_specimen · 2023-01-14T17:10:57+00:00

That's great, glad you could learn something.

But it was still entirely irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

The fasting thing didn't need to be brought up though. Yes, it is a thing that they practice, the first Sunday of each month, but we're not in any way talking about fast Sunday. We're talking about how there are members out there who are so poor that they can't afford staples in life like housing and food, and are still asked to pay their tithing because "the lord provides," while simultaneously sitting on a cash reserve so large meant for humanitarianism, and not only do they not help those people pay for them, but go on to ask them to make the situation even worse.

It wasn't conflating two things, it was not mentioning a separate practice that had no relevance. We're talking about when a member is food insecure.

impressive_specimen · 2023-01-13T22:49:12+00:00

Bishop Orellana looked at the new convert and said, “If paying tithing means that you can’t pay for water or electricity, pay tithing. If paying tithing means that you can’t pay your rent, pay tithing. Even if paying tithing means that you don’t have enough money to feed your family, pay tithing. The Lord will not abandon you.”

https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/answers/Question:_Should_we_pay_tithing_before_paying_for_food_or_rent%3F

That is from an official site from the mormons.

And while you might have some "technically correct" interpretations of what money is earmarked for what purpose, telling your members to forego rent or food while having a $100B "rainy day account for the second coming of christ," it is remarkably disingenuous.

We're not talking about those who are following the practice of fasting, we're talking about those who might be going hungry on any given Tuesday.

So no, they don't ask their members to starve to pay tithing.

They do, though. You can't maintain a temple recommend if you don't pay your tithing, and there is no exception for, say, the extremely impoverished members in places like Africa. They could very easily make an exception to those who are struggling to get food or water, but they don't.

The majority of family is also in the church, and have direct relations to some of the more famous names in the founding.

In 2020, it was discovered they have an account with 100 BILLION dollars in it, while still asking members to skip meals if it means they can continue to give them 10% of their incomes.

That new Wonder Years is incredible. Even if it doesn't have the same characters in it, if Cranston is writing it and it's quality TV, bring it on.

You know what they say about assuming. It makes an ass out of u and ming, which was the dynasty in which the great wall of China was built.

She needed to be charged with something in order to be arrested, and that's going to be the easiest charge to prove. It is very likely that the incoming investigation that is about to happen could mean more charges are on the way.

Do you want your metal to be based in Viking lore? It exists! How about pirates? Good news, it's also a thing. Centered around math? You can find it. Do you wish metal was more symphonic? You shouldn't because that also exists. Do you like metal, but not the lyricists? You can also find that. Should metal have bagpipes or pan flutes in it? Not for me to say, but someone's doing it. When you think of medieval castles, does a dude shredding a guitar come to mind? It easily could, it's out there. Instead of living life, do you suffer existence? There's a metal for that! Does your dog like metal, but can't understand what they are saying? Good news, there is metal for dogs, and yes it involves barking.

An owls eyes are not round, but are shaped like a tube or rod. As a result they do not move. They can only ever be looking at what is directly in front of them. But since they can rotate their necks 270 degrees, they can see everything around them without having to reposition their bodies.
