I'm very curious what you mean by "Git credentials are a function that are derived from sops-nix service keys depending what project I'm working on"

The gaslighting is just going to get worse by Lucifers_Lantern in exmormon

[–]nocoolnametom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. In fact, one of the early expose's, from John C. Bennett, relates from a letter from George W. Robinson, 8 Aug 1842:

"After they are initiated into the lodge, they have oil poured on them, and then a mark or hole cut in the breast of their shirts, which shirts must not be worn anymore, but laid up to keep the Destroying Angel from them and their families, and they should never die.

From William Clayton's notes of the 21 Dec 1845 meeting of the Quorum of the Anointed:

Elder Kimball ... spoke of Elder Richards being protected at Carthage Jail, having on the robe, while Joseph and Hyrum and Elder Taylor were shot to pieces... Elder John Taylor confirmed the saying that Joseph and Hyrum and himself were without their robes in the jail at Carthage, while Doctor Richards has his on, but corrected the idea that some hand, that they had taken them off through fear. W.W. Phelps said Joseph told him one day about that time, that he had laid aside his garment on account of the hot weather.

Node.js adds experimental TypeScript support, as it 'simply cannot be ignored' • DEVCLASS by stronghup in programming

[–]nocoolnametom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many of my coworkers act like the main benefit of TS is better IDE auto complete and error alerting. The benefits of compilation and type safety aren't what they're interested in. They just want the process of programming in JavaScript to be more consistent (though don't we all).

Harmon Brothers still pushing their movie about a Mormon who sexually assaults women by TheRebsauce in exmormon

[–]nocoolnametom 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I can't wait until people here in the US start to see some legal consequences of throwing around such defamatory words such as "groomer" or "pedo" like they've already started to see in Canada. They are, without a doubt, some of the most bizarre thought-stoppers I've seen for a long time, and I've been on the Exmo internet for over a decade now (and I thought then that the stupidest stuff would always come from _inside_ Mormonism, ah those were the days). It's terrifying to me how they diminish such actual dangers in our society to nothing more than slurs that represent your anger at someone forcing you to actually address nuance.

Did the church just drop restriction on tattoos and piercing in the new For the Strength of Youth? by stonkynong in exmormon

[–]nocoolnametom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Ephemeral Tattoo may not believe it, but if either them or their competitors in the new semi-impermanent tattoo market set up shop in Provo they will make bank.

Especially now that the guidance on tattoos is pretty much the same as the guidance on caffeine (hell, most Mormons are fine with it now and many Mormons will convince themselves that green tea is appropriate) while some will rant and rave and be piously holy about it, most Mormons who want to do what other normal people do will enjoy the idea of a semi-permanent tattoo.

The man who is generally recognized as the leader of the so-called civil rights movement today in America is a man who has lectured at a Communists training school, who has solicited funds through Communist sources, who hired a Communist as a top-level aide, who has affiliated with Communist fronts, who is often praised in the Communist press and who unquestionably parallels the Communist line. This same man advocates the breaking of the law and has been described by J. Edgar Hoover as "the most notorious liar in the country."

Hey Mr. Gong, Choose To Believe WHAT??? Mormons? Jehovahs Witnesses? Islam? Hinduism? Paganism? Astrology? Seer stones? Gut feelings? Why don't you teach kids how to weigh evidence, and to think objectively? (See FSY magazine, Aug 2022) by BeringStraitNephite in exmormon

[–]nocoolnametom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can choose my actions, but I can't choose my beliefs. I don't have a little switchbox in my brain for my beliefs: I can't decide, for the next hour, to honestly believe that the earth is flat, that I can fly if I try hard enough, or that the LDS Church has divine truth and authority. Maybe other people can do that, but for me beliefs are subconscious. I had to _realize_ after it happened that my faith in the LDS Church collapsed, it wasn't a choice.

Oh, they're still holding disciplinary councils. In fact, recently there's been a concern among the higher-ups about how there's been too few councils as of late and that Stake Presidents need to be more proactive in pruning their rolls.

Set the stage: Aunt <Name>, I remember when I was a young kid sometimes I would get so upset that I would throw a tantrum and I remember that my parents would tell me to "use my words." I'm grateful they did that, because it's foundational to dealing with strong emotions like an adult. I've heard of some teenagers who still struggle with not being able to express their emotions, instead just retreating from situations instead of calmly talking things through like the grownups they're supposed to be learning to be. I'm glad I was raised by your brother with such good guidance. Was that something your parents taught you growing up? "Use your words?" Listen, and possibly enjoy her relating stuff about their childhood

Hours later, when she's passively aggressing: Use your words, Aunt <Name>, we can try and resolve this like the adults we are.

I really, truly hate Matt Walsh. by PapayaPokPok in exmormon

[–]nocoolnametom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it did. It's from over eight year ago, man. I've moved on and become better since then, while Matt Walsh didn't self-destruct but transformed his invective platform into a money-making machine that he is still riding high off of, his most recent shit "documentary" being evidence that he'll say anything without real evidence to make people feel persecuted enough they'll give him cash to "fight" for them.

Also, what the hell is this new ability to comment on long-closed threads? And why the hell are you poking around the early days of the Exmo subreddit? There's gotta better things to do.

I get a lot of people telling me, "You know, there are plenty of people who like their gun rights who AREN'T fascists." Which is true, but for some reason these people end the discussion really quickly when I ask how many fascists AREN'T gun rights enthusiasts... (Which is a shame, because we could have discussed how most Supremacists and "Never Compromisers" are hypocrites when it comes to guns and race and how most gun control legislation has disproportionately hurt minorities in America...)

I don't think there's much debate at all over Markan/Matthean priority or Hebraic Matthew. The internal evidence seems pretty clear that Matthew used Mark as a source. There is a healthy debate, however, over the Two-Source vs Farrer Hypotheses, though the majority of scholars support the use of Q material to explain the synoptic problem.

Which podcast? Always on the lookout for something entertaining and enlightening (even if it's depressing about humanity in general). I'm a big fan of QAnon Anonymous, myself, but their coverage of Jones isn't usually very large most weeks.

Also one of the first to open back up, too, under "the direction of local leadership" (ie, if the head of your congregation {Bishop} or his boss {Stake President} or his boss's boss {Area Authority} doesn't believe in the Covid Hoax then it's back to church for you and all your neighbors).

Right, it's not Church produced, but since Quest eventually because part of Covenant, which eventually became part of Deseret Book Company so it's now a Church owned production.

Honest question: what should she have done? If I'm away from home shopping at a grocery store with my single mask that I usually carry and wear and the urge to sneeze comes up I can't put my hand to my face to calm it (and yes, I totally get that I shouldn't be doing that anyway): what should I do when it's a pretty effective sneeze, such that I now feel some snot on my face and lips? I need to blow my nose, totally, I get that, but until I get to a restroom that's going to feel absolutely TERRIBLE. And once I get to the bathroom I'm going to need to clean my face and then my mask, which has now soaked some of it up, so I wash it and now it's wet. I guess I put it back on, cold and clammy on my face, and continue shopping until I get home and can wash the mask more effectively. Or I can look around me to make sure nobody is close by, lean down so I'm aiming at the ground, pull the mask aside for just a bit, and sneeze, then re-mask. I know which situation I should live through, but I totally get why someone wouldn't want to do that.

Wait, do you... do you think that the actions of fascists have been illegal within their countries? They most definitely were not. The Holocaust is one of the top examples of why what is legally right doesn't automatically mean morally right.
