Deplorable gamer. Waifu escaped from her pokéball. But she’s back now.

Yeah that sucks when something you like is invaded and taken over like that

@epicgeezr What about former RLDS?

Smith made it all up. The doctrine and covenants is garbage. Smith edited the Bible to suit the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon does not agree with the Bible that the gift of prophecy has ended.

@SpiderManAme Trick question. Jesus wasn’t created.

Well played.

@credealjunkie @lkr I think you could install WhatsApp on desktop so you’d only see messages under the user logged in.

They keep separate messages, admin can see everything, desktop keeps the messaging tethered to home so it’s supervisable.

@_parasocial @JonnyClampa @UHD4000k @TheWapplehouse I, for one, am glad that 12 year old you did not have such a felonious dog in her.

Seems like you turned out ok :)
God bless.

"Per Capita"
(with apologies to Dr. Seuss)

There once were two towns on a plain
One called Bigville, one called Small Lane.

Bigville had people by thousands and more
With crowds in the streets and lines at the store.

Small Lane was tiny, with just a few folk
A diner, a church, and a man with a goat.

One day they compared how much pie they had baked.
"Ten thousand pies!" Bigville cried.
"Only one hundred!" Small Lane replied.

"Clearly we're better!" said Bigville with pride.
"We've got more pie than you have inside!"

But an owl in a hat said, "Wait just a bit.
Before you start bragging, let's look into it."

He counted the people. He counted the pies.
Then he looked at both mayors right in their eyes.

"You can't just compare the big number you see.
You must ask how much there is per capita, you see."

"Per capita" means, in a simple old way:
"For each person."
Not for the town.
Not for the king.
Not for the crowd.
Not the whole thing.

If ten thousand pies feed ten thousand folk,
That's one pie each. That isn't a joke.

Now, if one hundred pies feed fifty folk there
That's two pies each. They have more to spare!

Bigville looked puzzled. Small Lane looked smug.
The owl said, "No fighting! No need to tug!

When raw populations are different in size
The bare numbers can fool even very smart eyes."

A city with crime may have thousands each year
While a village has twenty, and everyone cheers.

But if the big city has millions of souls
And the village has hundreds, the picture may roll
The other direction when measured just right
By crime per person instead of by sight.

The same thing is true for money and wealth
For doctors and schools, and even for health.

Whenever one group is much larger than another
Per capita helps you compare one to the other.

So remember this lesson when numbers get grand:
Don't just count the pies all across this great land.

Ask how much each person gets in the game.
Because when populations aren't quite the same?
The biggest number is often the trap
And per capita helps you read the full map.

@MadelaineLucyH @cortex1988 This is how almost all of my interactions went before I met my wife.

Once I had a girl, in my apartment, sitting on my couch, say “nothing” in response to “what do you do for fun.”

I continue to make breakfast but I had the most urgent appointment afterward so she would leave.

@tuuu28283 I am honored bound to say it is my own state
Missouri

But each state has many parks and food and people which make it a lovely place.

@Michaeldudufudu What? Jay is why I started going to liturgy. Him and Rachel too. She encouraged me to find a local church

It sounds like they were trying to, but you can't make Stargate today. The heroes are the US military, and the villains are an ethnically diverse group of aliens in human bodies who posed as the various gods of human cultures in antiquity. The one group of aliens that also posed as gods but were benevolent rather than intrinsically evil - and the Goa'uld are intrinsically evil, as is made explicit - posed as the Norse ones.
That's why Stargate has remained untouched while every other franchise is defiled. Too much of the basic premise is fundamentally incompatible with modern Hollywood. There are too many uncomfortable implications.
Seems to me that higher ups got a whiff of what kind of show they were trying to make, and that show being Stargate, put the kibosh on it.
The "fresh new direction" they want to go with instead will have to be utterly unrecognisable. Stargate Universe is the direction Im sure they'd like to go in, but they already made that before the era of "modern Hollywood", and it was universally panned.
There's no getting around the good guys being the military and the bad guys being evil on a genetic level, so the whole premise is anathema. Stargate future-proofed itself, and with 15 proper seasons and 3 films, there really is no need to revisit it. I can continue, as I have for the past 30 years, just regularly rewatch what we already have. Because it's awesome.

@DWHarrison57 @rabbriansamuel This is Vatican II heresy. Allah is a false god.

Jews refuse to acknowledge the messiah.

This is heresy.

@Ron_Anderson65 Go to your local Orthodox Church (or look for it online) and email the priest.

Also pray. If you need help praying, ask the priest. If you need help finding your priest ask your friends on X.

God bless, Ron. I’ll pray for you too

@tuuu28283 Heard of? Brother, Japanese noodles sustained me for four years in school

[Jacob Kektrell @BeefCakeJake42]

@tuuu28283 Kinda. There are tiers to the law:
1) Federal (everywhere)
2) State (whichever one you live it)
3) Local (your town or city)

There are not many federal laws but there are many state laws and local ordinances.

@TormentedSapien @poliwoproj You have my blessing to continue to give this good advice.
