[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

That's easy: you don't go to high-school anymore.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 1 points 8 months ago

They can just sleep through the day at their woke school. /S

[-] gabbath@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Can't be woke if you're asleep

Richest country in the history of the planet, and we have "lunch debt" for kids in school.

They held my high school diploma for 6 months because I had $20 dollar deficit.

They never got the money because my dad threatened a lawsuit.

My school held someone's diploma to the max legal limit (like 6 months) because they did a twirl when walking on stage to get the fake diploma case thing.

Many US schools are more oppressive than some other country's prisons

Just a reminder that the LDS Church has $206 Billion in the bank.

A church. $206 Billion.

They also own 2.7% of private land in Florida and 1 in every 550 acres of private land in the U.S.:

Also a reminder that "Mormon porn" is an incredibly popular genre on Pornhub.

The show American Primeval was the beginning, they showed how they ripped people/towns/indians apart for that land under government control by Brigham young. True or not, I'd believe it given their stake today.

Joseph Smith, the Jesus Christ of Mormonism, was killed by an angry mob who stormed a prison he was being held in to execute him for scamming them.

Good thing it ends up in the hands of the Belters (at least in the TV show)

[-] 9bananas@feddit.org 1 points 8 months ago

also in the books!

the expanse is probably the most faithful reproduction of a book series ever.

especially considering it's like, what?, 5 books they made into the series?

it's almost a 1:1 translation into a different medium, which is hella impressive!

they cut some stuff here and there (more and more as the series goes on, for obvious reasons) but seriously, damn near everything about the main story is there!

there's really good reasons for the fans demanding more of it after Netflix stopped production

Neither is terraforming planets for every male member

[-] Shootingstarrz17@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Had us in the first half, not gonna lie.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Mormons definitely deserve a lot of the bad rap they get, what with the overbearing patriarchal whatever they've got going. But they can usually be counted on to feed people.

[-] Shootingstarrz17@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Ah, didn't know that. Cool.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 1 points 8 months ago

My brain auto completed it to say making them starve instead.

[-] irish_link@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Felt the same way too. In fact I think there was a subreddit dedicated to something like "first line/sentence" and thus there should/must be a Community for it by now.

[-] Shootingstarrz17@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I think so too. Can't remember the name either, it's been a while.

"They had us in the first half I'm not gonna lie"

[-] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

It makes me sad I wasn’t expecting this headline from Utah whatsoever when starting to read it but I’m glad it’s positive in the end

[-] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 0 points 8 months ago

Utah is a little weird in that they aren't so Mich maga as much as they are Mormon, they have progressive politics when it just so happens to suit the church's needs

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl -1 points 8 months ago

Churches are frequently wayy more progressive than the State.

[-] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 1 points 8 months ago
[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 0 points 8 months ago

Ever heard of the Civil Rights Movement? Perhaps a pastor named Martin Luther King Jr? Or Cornel West?

[-] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 1 points 8 months ago

Have you heard of the westboro Baptist church? Or the evangelical Protestants?

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 8 months ago

I didn't say always. I said frequently.
