My philosophy on blocking has changed. Whenever people hurl insults, I block. It doesn't mean I am shutting down their arguments, it means I refuse to hear their insults. They can freely share their arguments elsewhere and I am not forced to engage with them.

Do you all remember when @ThoughtfulSaint tried to be like Taylor Frankie Paul?

@RigdonNancy3 Almost like he made it up.

Does Joseph Smith count as a good Mormon? Drank coffee, wine Slept with people he wasn’t legally married to Didn’t wear his garment regularly

@Hail_Winter I'm not LDS anymore. The Book of Mormon teaches nothing about eternal progression or God being a man (they are based on later teachings of Joseph Smith). The "after all we can do" line would have been understood as salvation by grace in Smith's time. See: youtu.be/779wB_fGXUE?si…

Something I started noticing over time were differences between the Book of Mormon and the Bible that honestly made me stop and think The Bible teaches God is unchanging (Malachi 3:6) but the Book of Mormon describes God as once being like man and progressing. The Bible says salvation is by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8–9) but the Book of Mormon says “after all we can do” which is saying works are part of it too. The Bible teaches there is one God (Isaiah 43:10) while LDS teachings include multiple gods and the idea that people can become gods. The Bible says Jesus’ sacrifice was once and for all (Hebrews 10:10) but LDS doctrine adds ordinances and requirements. And the Bible doesn’t really support ongoing new scripture the same way LDS teachings do Another thing that stood out to me is how much the Book of Mormon overlaps with the Bible. There are hundreds of verses that are really similar or even word for word from the King James Bible especially Isaiah and even parts like the Sermon on the Mount. Some estimates say around 20 to 30 percent of it uses biblical language or parallels. What made me pause is that it uses the same wording and even some of the same translation quirks from the King James Bible which was written in the 1600s And then there are the historical things I never really heard about growing up. The Book of Mormon talks about animals like horses and cattle in ancient America but there’s no solid evidence they were there at that time. It also mentions steel chariots and large civilizations but archaeology hasn’t really backed that up. DNA shows Native American ancestry tracing back to East Asia not the Middle East like the Book of Mormon suggests. And “Reformed Egyptian” isn’t something we have any record of existing Something else I started noticing is that there are even contradictions within the Book of Mormon itself and that honestly made me pause. Like in Jacob 2 it speaks strongly against polygamy but then leaves room for it if God commands it. It also says God invites everyone equally but then describes certain groups being cursed with dark skin. And there are moments where things just don’t fully line up whether it’s doctrine timelines or just details in the story. The Book of Mormon we have today isn’t exactly the same as the 1830 version. It has been updated multiple times like 1837 1840 1879 1920 and later with thousands of changes. There also isn’t just one clear account of how it was translated. Sometimes it’s described using the Urim and Thummim other times a seer stone in a hat and some say a mix of both. Different witnesses even describe it differently For me it wasn’t just one thing it was a pattern and I couldn’t ignore it. Learning all of this made me step back and really question it.

I finished the latest season of Netflix's One Piece the night before and my five-year-old daughter watched the last two episodes with me. She is now obsessed with Tony Tony Chopper despite knowing nothing about One Piece.

"I hope the next 3d Mario introduces a black girl to the cast because the Mario series needs more diversity and I like whenever a 3d Mario has a cute girl as one of the stars like galaxy with Rosalina and odyssey with Pauline."

@NoxideActive @mariotwtconfess Make the next human character black. It's not that fucking hard.

@mariotwtconfess The Mario Cast is already big and beloved. To add characters for a superficial quota of "diversity" would suck.

@Swaysive @HyunOfShedTwt @VideoGamesPlus_ I'm talking about speeds. Is there a difference between a S1 game card versus a S2 one for this particular game? I am anti-game key card but if there was no noticeable difference between the two I'd get the S1 version.

@Derek_Rumpler @HyunOfShedTwt @VideoGamesPlus_ It matters for all games. Nintendo doesn’t want to have full ownership of the games you pay for so they created game key cards…

Starbites Nintendo Switch 2 [Game Key-Card] has been canceled . We will be reaching out to all customers who preordered soon. The PS5 and Nintendo Switch versions are still being released on May 21st, 2026.

@HyunOfShedTwt @Swaysive @VideoGamesPlus_ Does that matter for this game? I know nothing about it.

@Swaysive @VideoGamesPlus_ its a different fucking card einstein. Switch 1 cards are about sd card speed Switch 2 are sd express speed

This was the best selling console and DVD player of all time!

@regulardick333 @mormons_speak @Ch_JesusChrist The "work" was done in more humble buildings in the past. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endowment…

@mormons_speak @Ch_JesusChrist The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints is the only Religion doing this work. Temples are where this work is done. You don’t honor your King with a shit hole. You don’t rob a bank and say “sorry jesus” and then do it again. Prayer. Repentance. Baptism. This is the way.

The #LDS Church spends millions of dollars on extraordinarily expensive furnishing for each of its temples. Does God want the @Ch_JesusChrist to honor Him with grandiose decor or would He prefer beautiful but reasonable furnishings--while giving more money to help those in need?

A Redditor has discovered an AI generated artwork in Crimson Desert. There are other posts that also claim to have found AI generated images throughout the game. It’s not even a “good” image. Pure slop, just look at the horses legs LMAO. Really disappointing.

@maklelan Someone should do a modern Jefferson Bible and leave blank spaces where negotiated passages are changed or removed. You can call it the Renegotiated Bible Version.

It should be this way everywhere. I am tired of feeling like my devices are a time bomb.
