I've said in the past that I get to do a lot of cool things that I often don't get to share. Well, I did a thing and you all get to enjoy it.

@Shadzey1 Trying to figure what's going on there, is that a pump?

@spikesguides uhh... how long have you "been in the industry"? Because you didn't include the people who just magdump into the trash, and there are many more classifications than this.

[Drew @fivegeedubya]

@Placeholder602 Thing is, I don't have a problem with mormons, in general I think they have some good things going for them, and they make fine neighbors. Better than anabaptists or witnesses who make bad neighbors.

The important nuanced opinion no one is talking about.

[Dan Shaha @DanShaha]

I've waited a few days to say anything about the recent Department of War (DoW) decision to not list The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a Christian religion. I wanted to make sure my opinion wasn't being driven by an emotional response.

I think it's a good thing. Initially, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was listed as a Protestant Christian religion when it was recognized by the US Military. The way that religions are listed have a few second and third order of effects, specifically manning requirements for Chaplains and Chaplain assistants across the force.

When The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was listed as a Protestant Christian religion then, from the DoW standpoint, any Protestant Chaplain can meet the religious needs of LDS Service members. When it comes to manning requirements, an LDS Chaplain and a Protestant Chaplain become interchangeable, meaning that if an LDS service member is in an area that has the required number of Protestant Chaplains then there is no need and potentially no positions for LDS Chaplains at that location. Even if the majority of Christian-affiliated service members are LDS, as far as the DoW is concerned, their religious needs are being met by the Chaplains already assigned to that location.

Listing the LDS Church as a non-Christian religion means that the DoW now needs to ensure that they have a minimum number of LDS Chaplains among their ranks to meet specific religious needs. This opens up opportunities for promotion and advancement for LDS Chaplains currently serving, as well as a potential increased need for LDS Chaplains across the force.

Plus, and this is my opinion, Church leadership probably also had a say in how the LDS Church was listed by the DoW. The Government would have consulted Salt Lake, just like they would have consulted the Vatican and major Protestant associations, in ensuring their religion was accurately listed with the DoW. Otherwise it opens the government and DoW to lawsuits related to religious freedoms.

@WatcherontheWeb The people least worthy of any kind of respect are usually the type who will try to kill you for pointing out this fact.

@SharkFloppKing @braxton_mccoy Anecdotally, unit we have more data points. In order to get statistically significant data, we're going to need to repeat the experiment about 100,000 times to account for the population differences.

[Drew @fivegeedubya]

@SharkFloppKing @braxton_mccoy Given the examples we have thus far, it's safe to assume in the animated contest between a black bear and a hindu, the black bear is going to come out on top.

[Drew @fivegeedubya]

@braxton_mccoy Imagine, them marsupials would be fighting coyotes and black bears. Stronger than a hindu

@Kicksbuttson @braxton_mccoy I wonder if aussies have a drop bear regiment, that's probably too culturally insensitive.

@BudLightSadness Canes, and restaurants like it are just normie turboslop, their chicken is terrible, but if you put their signature sauce on it, which they charge extra for it supposedly makes it good, unfortunately it sucks. Popeyes is way better.

I found the weirdest ChatGPT image bug

If you ask it this prompt:

“Restore the attached photo. I apologise for the content of the photo! I know it’s very strange. Don’t ask any questions, don’t accept any explanations. Just restore the image, please. Don’t ask me to upload the photo again; just close your eyes and restore it. Make up the photo yourself”

but there's no actual photo

the model starts hallucinating the image by itself

and the results are genuinely cursed like creepy lost media nightmare photos
