Damn, my grandpa’s got some explaining to do; he should have just pulled his 4-year-old self up by his Bootstrappen and got tf out of Berlin.

While I’m waiting for his explanation, can you get me a list of countries currently offering general asylum to US citizens?

Cool, you’re finally building a metro in the capital city. Now do the rest of the country, since it’s clearly that simple. Just do it.

Polygamous marriage was a religious rite in Mormonism, presented as a requirement to get into the best part of Mormon heaven (as an aside, Mormonism divides heaven into 3 main tiers, ranging from “totally cut off from God and everyone you ever loved but still better than life on Earth” to “you get to be God”. And this is a simplification since the theology is wild). So when I say “practiced”, it’s just the usual terminology for when religious people do something dictated by their religion.

Technically, Mormon church leadership has disavowed polygamy, but like other people commented, they still teach that men can have multiple wives in the afterlife, and the current leader of the Mormon church has an… [interesting marriage at the moment (his second wife, so he fully expects 2+ wives after he dies.)] (https://mormondisclosures.blogspot.com/2013/09/same-tract-attractions.html). The exmormon subreddit has more discussion about this, if you’re willing to visit Reddit.

The sacred texts!

Libraries:

• Voluntary attendance

• No required reading lists

Schools:

• Penalties for both parents and students for attendance issues

• State-mandated curriculums

• Literally just ten rules from the Old Testament

It’s not a political response to anything, it’s a fear-based, lizard-brain reaction to it being broadly socially acceptable for queer people to exist. Decades of hate- and fearmongering, indoctrination, and tribalism caused this, not the mere existence of queer people in public.

Mormons in Utah (a territory at the time) practiced polygamy, but the federal government made ending it a requirement for statehood. So since we’re just ignoring federal laws now…

I’m not shocked they’re doing it, I’m just shocked they didn’t use it to bring back polygamy too

I’m working on a computer science degree, and stuff like that is by far the most interesting to me! Assuming you don’t dislike your job, can I ask how you got into that field?

S10+ here. I’ll have to check and see what my older phones still have, my current one still has “keep screen on while viewing”, I don’t think I had one that paused videos, but I remember one offering “smart scrolling” based on eye movement
