I fully trust Big Balls

(Exmormon here!)

It's not they deny it happened, they claim that it was commanded of God and was necessary. For the past 10 years they have been started teaching that it was a "test of God". And in all cases they deny that they currently practice it and insist anyone who practices it isn't Mormon.

BUT they still practice it.

And i don't mean the FLDS church, i mean Mormons aka "church of Jesus christ of latter day saints" still practice polygamy. They only got rid of polygamy on earth, but when Mormons marry in the temple they are married for eternity thanks to what they call a "sealing". What happens if you get divorced? The church doesn't recognize a civil divorce. The still believe you and your ex are sealed for eternity.

Where this gets interesting, and where the polygamy comes in, is that women can't remarry (sealed) unless they get permission from church leadership AND their exhusband. Men on the other hand don't need permission from church leadership or their exwife, meaning they can continue to have as many eternal sealings as they want as long as they have a civil divorce between each.

Yeah, sounds crazy, because it is. They don't talk about this either, and it isn't well understood by most Mormons until it happens to them. But it's a pretty glaring example of inequality in the church.

No employee actually cares if you say yes or no. And i think i see this more frequently on the card reader now so you don't even talk to a human.

Insane skill 👏

Yes, i agree. I meant other countries haven't given ukraine as much aid as they could, or pressured Russia directly enough to end the war. Other countries are benefiting from the technology advancements being made in Ukraine so they have an interest in giving the minimal help needed to keep the war going.

Drone usage has played a big role in the war. Early on they were just dropping explosives on live troops and later started doing kamikaze runs where the drone would detonate on impact. Now drones can even drop anti tank explosives.

As drone usage has increased, this opened the opportunity for units to start deploying signal jamming setups-- such as an infantry unit with a huge array of antennas set up to jam any wireless device within a certain radius. Since drones were operated wirelessly this meant the drones just crashed.

To combat this, both sides have started using fiber optic connections to control the drones. The drones have a spool underneath them with the fiber optic cable and i have seen some advertise a range as far as 40km so far. This means the drones no longer can be jammed like before.

Recently Ukraine announced they have a laser that they can use to shoot down drones as another advancement in the technology.

And all of this IMO is why the war in Ukraine has been allowed to continue. It's live weapon/ technology testing for modern warfare

It's straight from project 2025 and that is indeed their goal that they described

The man has 12 children. Why have i never seen any photos of him with his kids until now? Sus. Very sus.

Ive been meaning to re-watch the minority report.

Suspended for being the target of violence. I didn't even fight back but the zero tolerance policy also meant i got suspended too. It was a random event from someone who i had never interacted with so it wasn't like i provoked them into stabbing me.
