@mischievoustomato yeah there are people that do that, to me I'm just like playing a character I don't really self insert. It's like writing a character in a story, I'm thinking of them as a separate entity entirely
@SuperSnekFriend i think the workaround for this is sealings for the dead, because if you die and you haven't had that done you will basically be in something akin to purgatory where people from "heaven" prepare you to receive the ordinances that the people on earth do for you.
in addition to this, you may have heard that there are 3 kingdoms of heaven that acts as "tiers." telestial, terrestrial, and celestial. telestial is basically hell but it's not eternal punishment and all that shit, it's more or less just a worse version of the world we live in right now. terrestrial is kind of just the world we live in right now. celestial is more akin to the traditional idea of heaven, however what is less known is that there are also three tiers of the celestial kingdom. to be in the first one, you must be baptized in the mormon church. second, you must have gone through the temple and received your endowments. third, you must be married and sealed in the temple.
the only people going to hell (called "outer darkness") are the ones who had undeniable proof of God and still chose to go against Him. a notable example of this is Cain. the people who were good but never received any of the ordinances will end up in the terrestrial kingdom, and the ones who were bad and never received the ordinances will end up in the telestial kingdom. that's how it is in a nutshell.
as always, a lot of this stuff is solely to wield power over people and strike fear into them. there is a song called "families can be together forever" that children learn from a very young age that insinuates that the only way they'll be with their family in the afterlife is if they follow the Lord, which in the context of mormonism is of course their own teachings. this has resulted in my family, especially extended family, breaking down on numerous occasions because they don't think i will be with them in the afterlife. it's pretty sad to see, and this is how they get you. soul snatchers.
nevermind all of the "ordinances" performed in the temple are either inspired by or ripped directly from freemasonry.
@prettygood@aperture my dad was in Germany after the wall fell and he said it was so hard to actually get clean water there that most of the locals just drank alcohol instead. He didn't drink so it was like just juice all the time.
so i called walmart again and the switch 2 IS COMING but my account doesn't appear to be suspended on their side so they're not sure what's going on, they escalated the issue.
so the only way to check my switch 2 shipment is to call the number and ask the automated voice when it's coming lmao what shit show.
@LukeAlmighty giving someone the "right to suicide" is just a cop out for not giving a shit about your people. Why fix the problems plaguing them when you can just eliminate the people having problems? It gives the medical industry more money too which is obviously only a good thing /s
@matana the misunderstanding is over *what* will get your console bricked. i agree that they shouldn't do it at all, but people are acting like something as simple as a voltage spike is going to brick your console forever. it's probably only going towards the pirates and people who are cheating in online games or using hacks to enter people's game chats and stuff. staying offline when you're doing homebrew stuff or piracy especially has always been recommended.
@bebe@matana it very well might be illegal depending on where you live, but if they're only doing that to pirates then the pirates are doing something illegal too so they don't really have any ground to stand on.
