@matrix something tells me he is a bigger fan of BFI

@hellhammer666 holy fuck that is horrible

@Moto_Chagatai @pepsi_man there is (or was?) a subreddit dedicated to teachers "cracking eggs" of their students
It's incredibly fucked up
Even in the phrase, they're cracking eggs. They're not letting them hatch. If they hatched, they would be normal and not all fucked up.

@lain @vaartis there are 20 million pleroma users, so with that 20 million dollars they could give 1 million dollars to every pleroma user. crazy.

@Kyonko802 what mod are you using for controller support?

for anyone curious, here's the app i'm using to download my entire deezer library. it has a lot of other really cool functions too, wish i would have found it sooner.

@xianc78 the LGBT one, but also MAPs. I've never seen someone who uses that term to describe themselves that I like.

@xianc78 yeah I'm feeling more and more inclined to go back to doing that. The appeal of streaming services is the convenience factor, but when it starts to become less convenient.... Ehhh....

So I just found out that when a record company or music distribution service no longer has rights to music, it gets removed from streaming services. When it goes back up under another entity, it doesn't get linked to the original. So a good chunk of my library is just gone and that explains why my shuffle has been feeling really stale for the past year or so. Why the fuck is that a thing?

@MK2boogaloo i guess that would be subjective and i'd have to think about it but here's a few weird ones:

1. a man and a woman can get a "temple marriage" which means that when they die, they (and their offspring) will be together in heaven (as long as they have completed all of the necessary rites). a regular marriage isn't enough, even if officiated by a bishop. that's not the weirdest part though... that's when we get to temple divorces. a man can get a temple divorce from a woman without her consent, but not the other way around. a man has to consent to a temple divorce if a woman wants to get one. this gets particularly strange when you find out that a man can have as many temple marriages as he wants, but a woman can only have one. this applies to dead spouses as well. the only people who are capable of getting rid of a temple marriage without the man's consent are the top 3 highest authorities of the church. when people say polygamy doesn't exist in the church anymore, it still kind of does, just not on the material plane.

2. in the temple you receive a "true name." it's like the name that your spirit has, basically. you are not supposed to tell anyone this name except for your spouse, which you have a temple marriage with. the part they don't tell you is that the names are actually just assigned to a given day. for instance if you're a man and you go into the temple to get your true name on the 1st of January, it would be Paul or whatever. the 2nd would be Abraham. but, in february, the 1st and the 2nd are still Paul and Abraham. so everyone that gets a true name on the 1st of any month will have the same name. these names are gendered, though, and since only a man and woman can get married then they can tell each other their true names without realizing the mechanics behind it.

3. regarding the OP, there is a TON of temple work done daily, like a metric shit ton. not enough for names to have work done for them and then be thrown out. so instead, it gets rotated around. it's extremely unlikely that one person will run into the same name twice but it is relatively common knowledge that this happens. the reason given is that the people who have work done for them need to accept it up in heaven (which is completely different in mormonism compared to any other Christian sect). so, if multiple people say "oh i just got baptized for hitler" it's because hitler hasn't accepted the gospel up in heaven yet (which means he is in what is colloquially known as "spirit prison").

that's just talking about theology based stuff, but the worse parts about the church are those material ones imo. things like covering up abuse especially. things like how the temple rites have changed over the years to be less pervy. or how the director (producer?) of one of the movies they show in the temple was a child molester. afaik, they still show his movies there even now.

things like that just make me think that, even if all of their doctrine is real somehow, claiming that prophets make decisions on who to put into positions based on their communions with God is absolutely ridiculous, and i've actually talked with mormons who think that too. they don't leave though, tons of mormons don't believe in it but don't leave, because it's a cult and there is an absurd amount of pressure to stay and pretend and play along. leaving can often be disastrous and i've seen it firsthand. not good. i know some that believe in some parts of it but don't like the way it's run too, and i wish they would just start to break that illusion that they aren't one in the same.

there's a whole ass wikileaks styled foundation dedicated to uncovering shit about mormonism, actually. pretty wild. they had to stop a couple years ago though because they pissed off the jehova's witnesses and got sued or something.

i'm glad i am no longer apart of it and i'm glad to have helped a lot of people feel comfortable enough to leave knowing they would have someone to talk to.

i'm sure there are far weirder things too. maybe there are ones that are much stranger but since i grew up with it i don't think of it as being something that stands out as much.

@MK2boogaloo that's the tip of the iceberg

alright, i got that quest remade. let's hope it doesn't delete itself again lol.

@Kyonko802 with a last name like that i'm wondering how anybody was ever able to take him seriously

@PurpCat @SuperSnekFriend oh yeah xD

i know the artist made nice versions of them too where it was all actually just a set but i can't seem to find them.

@Cyrillic @Ronnie21093 microsoft may be gay but linux is trans
the only option now is to go with mac, which is just liberal and maybe slightly fruity

@Ronnie21093 stuff like this has happened before and it will surely happen again. I don't know how people get these updates so fast, I'm usually like a year behind

@Cyrillic @Ronnie21093 I didn't change anything about updates on my latest install and I've never had an automatic one. I'll get a little toast popup saying it's time to update like once every couple days but that's it.

You can also use winutils and change updates that way extremely easily. For instance, just getting security updates or disabling updates entirely (not the greatest idea but sure).

@YeetLibs nobody can stop shondo

found a bug that lets you skip an entire boss battle, thus preventing the game from being finished :)

thankfully it's not something that a regular player would be able to encounter because of another bug, which i also fixed. but you can very easily do that in debug mode and then you can't actually beat the game after that unless you modify your save file or open the engine and make an alternative way to get the key item.

@MoeBritannica they are still stuck in a weird version of gender norms so they think that a woman has to be a man to be strong
