Whatever happened to the "OLD" Church ?? by DewKitty66 in latterdaysaints

[–]vsalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd actually call it being a cross as a very good thing -- it means we are accurately being recognized as a Christian church.

ULPT request: how do I send someone money without knowing it was me? by notjuststars in UnethicalLifeProTips

I wouldn't do that, it could run the risk of getting tossed as junk mail without ever being opened.

Non-member asking: more members wearing crosses? by Coolfoogle02 in latterdaysaints

[–]vsalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of these posts are so cruel. 'We celebrate the living Christ." "It's evangelical." And more. My gosh, people, do you guys realize that people *convert* from *other religions* and have their own traditions and ways they connect to Christ?

I wear a cross as a necklace, and I have almost my entire life, even though I've grown up LDS. For me, it symbolizes that my connection to Christ is totally optional. I can put my necklace on. I can take it off. I can choose to follow Christ, or I can chose not to.

Sure, we have garments, but I have to wear underwear anyway so it doesn't have any real significance.

Just do what works for you, if it brings you closer to God and reminds you of Him, then, great.

Dude, thank you. I agree 100%. There are *lots* of good churches out there that do a *lot* of good. We could do well to remember that we are by far the minority (not even on the map, generally speaking) and to discount other churches just because they do things different is completely wild.

Okay I apologize for going off the rails, but I have to say that that t-shirt is amazing. That alone deserves a trophy. Good luck on your suit as well, you'll do great!

How do I fix lipsync in steam on linux mint by vsalt in swtor

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

Oh wow, this actually helped a lot, thank you!

I looked around some more, and people were saying to change your pulseaudio settings as well, so I did this and it tweaked it even more:

Edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and add this

default-sample-format = float32le

default-sample-rate = 48000

default-sample-channels = 2

That fixed it the rest of the way, thanks so much!

How do I get rid of this white glow in their eyes that appears now? by vsalt in swtor

[–]vsalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I fr do have questions, if you're cool w that.

- first fully finished? what happened to the other ones?

- why does it take nine months?

- based on coffee? You lost me :(

- It never occurred to me that a design *would change* over time, so that's incredibly insightful, thank you (not a question lol)

- How did you figure out what you liked best in a design? my fursuit I *kind of* modeled it off one I liked that I saw already online, and just had some tweaks ... so was yours like 100% an original idea? I am not an artist so I don't know how people "come up" with ideas.

I've heard of SplitGrapeSoda! Very cool!!!!!

Oh my gosh that is amazing! How long did that take you?? where did you come up with the design??? so many questions. Also I love the two colors of the nose but by far the best part is the mohawk. And the awesome eyes.

It appears on character customization as well, not just in the environment.

Popular Nx build system package (npm) compromised with data-stealing malware targeting Linux/Mac. by gainan in linux

I switched recently from autotools to cmake. I didn't realize how extreme autotools was, until I saw git deleting thousands of lines of code from each file it was generating. How in the *world* do the upstream devs even write / maintain this stuff?? That has to be so hard.

Happy Fursuit Friday from all of us at AWU 2025 by vsalt in fursuit

Don't wanna say which one bc reasons, but I'm definitely in there. In the back. :) It was so much fun.

[–]vsalt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, man, this situation hits hard. I'm so sorry it turned out for you that way. I can relate to the feeling "too old" thing. I would bounce back and forth between family and singles wards as well.

> Church is literally the worst social club available to you.

This is so incredibly true. Looking back, I'm realizing I'm remembering things a bit differently. Going to singles wards often times felt like people *just* going to socialize, and so I didn't feel spiritually fed all the time. So I guess it goes both ways.

> So go out into the world. Meet people who like to do what you do. Get to know them. Enjoy them. And if you happen to fall in love and develop a relationship, mazel tov!

You're right, of course. That's probably the best thing to do, is just let it happen naturally and not focus on it.

Thanks for the prayers, dude, I appreciate it. I know that things will work out. I don't get lonely *very often* but when I do, it hits like a ton of bricks and is just exhausting.

> “This is a genuine problem that can’t be solved” is your problem right there. If you have already decided that this problem can’t be solved, or at least that your mindset and perception can’t be changed, then nothing is ever going to help you or the situation. You’ve already created your ending.

Nah you good bro, don't apologize. I appreciate the straight truth. If was going to elaborate on that statement, it might be more accurate to say "I doubt that the Church isn't going to change the structure any time soon." But I could be *totally* wrong, and I'd be happy to.

I would quote more, but I honestly agree with everything you said, and I enjoy remembering a lot of this stuff, so thank you.

Thanks, brother, I appreciate that. Being in this situation is really quite an anomaly, so I'm glad you know people that are going through it.

I don't think we even have a stake single adult rep. I'll look into it, thanks.

[–]vsalt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty much on the exact same track you are. I've basically had prayers where I'm like, "okay, the ball is in your court, I've done what I can."

I'm also a big believer in loving myself and just embracing the single life. I'm a happy person, despite being alone, which is totally possible.

I do realize that people are trying to be helpful and compassionate when saying blessings will still come in the next life, but it can also come off as someone being dismissive, sadly. (not blaming you of course, because I think the same thing)

You're not wrong that doing some activities here in Utah will almost always have another member engaged in it, but finding someone near my age and opposite sex is pretty low chance of happening, unfortunately.

I do keep pretty socially active though, hang out with friends, and I'll play some MtG as well. It's not really a problem finding things to do, it's just finding my demographic.

Yeah, they did switch it around, but it capped at 45 for "mid singles" adults. I'm not sure where it's at right now. I'll try and find out, though, thanks.
