Plus if any of your members disagree with what the Prophet says, they can just ex-communicate them like they did with that lady who kept questioning why women can’t be ordained.

Nah, he wants people to suffer and shit.

As an ex-mormon, there is absolutely nothing new here. This was the same shit I heard about gay members 10+ years ago.

Girl must have a short fucking memory because she named her latest album literally after herself.

Our officers are less likely to shoot (and just as likely not to be indicted), but our First Nations and other people of colour are killed by the police in more, uh, creative ways.

Thats what I thought, too!

Beychon frise.

He may have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic only. My mom was pre-diabetic, but she lost a bunch of weight and eats better, and now she isn’t.

It wasn’t contingent on the lucky fact that she has a twin brother to play the character pre-transition. I’m under the impression that this casting choice was an exception rather than a rule, as…

I tried to read her essay for Lenny Letter and I came away thinking that she’s not as smart and she thinks she is.

And gives Jared Fucking Leto an Oscar for playing a trans woman.

A reasonably intelligent person can extrapolate the meaning of this quote based on context clues, i.e. just because something is legal doesn’t mean it is ethical.

I’d say this lady is dumb, but bigotry in general is based on a super shallow understanding of basic shit, so.

In South Africa, under apartheid, a person of Chinese descent was legally “yellow” while a person of Japanese descent was legally “white”. Guess which country South Africa had stronger economic ties to.

My face after I finished the video:

I had to learn about phishing and hacking for work. One of the videos we watched was about how easily hackers can get your password from you, and a woman interviewed people on the street about their passwords generally:
