Re: Gemli explains...

Gemli’s word “justification” is carrying a whole lot of water. I’ve heard people of faith claim something to the effect that sincerely held religious beliefs are per se reasonable. In that sense, I suppose, sincerity of belief could be offered as a justification for the reasonableness of belief. Bu...

Re: The Trump Criminal Case MEGATHREAD.

Rich privilege certainly is a thing, at least in our carceral system. Did you see the sweet deal Paxton got? I wasn’t sure who you were talking about, so I had to google “paxton + sentenced”. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/26/texas-ag-ken-paxton-security-fraud-00149013 😾 For Dr. Shades: Paxt...

Re: The Trump Criminal Case MEGATHREAD.

I’m starting to think white privilege might be a thing. /s He literally said he had the money. Too bad, so sad if you don’t. You said you did. It’s wild how the system has been gamed to ensure these people avoid justice. - Doc Rich privilege certainly is a thing, at least in our carceral system. Di...

Re: Gemli explains...

It is explicitly written in Moroni's promise. so I was mistaken. I thought I was to pray to get closer to realizing the truth. I did not realize I was supposed to be exercising my sincere desire to believe. That is tricky as my desire to believe wavered sometimes due to a variety of reasons. Perhap...

Re: The Trump Criminal Case MEGATHREAD.

$175 is just the bond, but he still has to pay the full $454 million right? And why does he need 10 whole days to pay when he's already been claiming he has more than triple that already in cash? Yes, if the judgment is upheld on appeal, he has to pay the entire judgment amount, plus post-judgment ...

Re: True Crime: Holy cats this youtuber is LDS related

There was a document dump a couple days ago, representing the response to FOIA requests that had been on hold until after sentencing. Ruby Frankie kept a set of journals that she called the Pen Papers, in which she recorded her visions and Hildebrandt’s visions. They believed that God would direct t...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

I really like the milestone system for XP. Or skip the XP and use milestones as leveling points. I think it makes for better storytelling. Maybe it's just age or the crowd I play with, but the RPers I play with are story driven rather than character-leveling driven. Several years ago, I played with...

Re: I Can't Eye-Roll Hard Enough Over DCP's Latest

Götterdämmerung, a snifter of orange soda, and a hearty pastrami sandwich Am I right that the soda and sandwich are to be consumed while listening to Wagner, or is Götterdämmerung a Mormon delicacy like funeral potatoes and lime jello? (I may just be confused by the fact that the possibly ironical ...
