If a transaction occurs for no consideration e.g. a gift, then there is always a chance for a progenitor to sue and claim rights as the transaction “never happened”. This happens when a company acquires another and tries to strip benefits, so the company fires and rehires all employees so that is the consideration. I have personally reviewed hundreds of land sales for 10$ in Texas so there is legally binding consideration exchanged. Functionally it is a legally bulletproof gift.
I have studied various Christian religions and have liked the teachings of the Mormons (They currently prefer to be called “members of the restored church of Jesus christ”).
I generally try to abide by 3 Ne 11:29-30. I think my favorite scripture is 1 Ne 11:17 as it answers substantially all questions with faith and humility until you have time to properly study it out.
I am prone to talk about what I believe in a manner that I think gives respect all around like the epicurian paradox, the nicene creed, polygamy and judaism, etc.
I feel like I have a few strengths that I would love to share with those curious: my method to pray in a two-way conversation, my affinity for administration, and the “hiding in plain sight” cheats to be in control during persecution, dreams, and restrictive behavioral loops.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Despite having heard the phrase 'passive aggressive' several times, I still don't know what it means.
71·20 days agoAs a native speaker, I will try to answer without being pedantic with a dictionary: to be passive aggressive is to answer with an unusual assumption and to act like the other party should have known all along.
E.g. if you want someone to leave and it is snowing, say “I just cleaned off the snow from your car so you can make it home safe. When do you plan on leaving?” This places an expectation and social pressure to accept the gift of cleaning the snow by leaving soon.
E.g. if you want to leave work at 5pm daily and your boss knows this and adds a frivolous mandatory meeting to the office calendar. You can take notes in the meeting then at the end send the email with notes to the recipients and say “this meeting could have been an email with no knowledge lost”. This implies that your boss did a disservice by wasting everyone’s time when they could have just used a secretary and an email and let you keep to your informal time to leave boundaries.
Good luck figuring out and understanding the actual definition!!!

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•With how shitty some Christians are, you really have to wonder if Lucifer or Satan is truly "evil"
410·28 days agoNo, I think his crime was that he wanted to take away the whole purpose of life aka living with choice between good and evil. Then the icing was that he wanted God’s glory to be given to him.
My understanding of the purpose of life is that we have no memory of before, we are faced with plausible good and evil choices, and finally we get some hardware that lasts (physical body). There is some irony that the option for evil comes first from lucifer.

World News@lemmy.world•Russia faces a shrinking and aging population and tries restrictive laws to combat itEnglish

I beg to differ, and i dont consider altering sex ed to be full evil. When people have a lot of money and power and political influence they can do some bad unethical things. Things like requiring “the correct race” to breed and “the incorrect race” to have forced military drafts and mobilizations. It’s right now easier for other immediate goals to … not go that route yet. Let the robots and automation catch up to the depopulation is my guess.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone else live somewhere that has had people joining in a WiFi naming joke?
2·2 months agoI learned something today about something removed 35 years ago.
Planning my additional research, for someone alive to have gone to the temple and have done these, they would have to be at least 55ish. I’ll try to find someone to talk about it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone else live somewhere that has had people joining in a WiFi naming joke?
31·2 months agoI’m curious. The temple has 4 rituals
- baptism on behalf of your ancestral dead
- ritual washing
- promising 5 commandments that are above a regular baptisms promises to gain access to pass through to God’s dwelling with power.
- marriage for all eternity.
Mormons dance around temple and associated rituals being sacred, not secret, so the command to not cast pearls before swine applies; but certain promises are not to share signals that show you made the extra promises, so just to be sure, mormons treat it all temple info as secret unless they actually thought about the words of the rituals.
I have been able to talk to Mormons outside of temples in pretty deep detail because I was respectful (not mocking).
Please be specific, what part seems to pantomime suicide? I’m thinking baptism on behalf of ancestors?

Maybe a vitamin b or magnesium deficiency?
I really want a space station in the barycenter of Pluto or something. It would be as close to true neutral of gravity instead of the gravity negated by acceleration of mass that may or may not screw up gravity experiments

Today I Learned (TIL)@lemmy.ca•TIL Chimborazo is the highest point on Earth
9·3 months agoI think of the earth as a giant gob of clay on a pottery wheel. It spins, it bulges, but ultimately it looks mostly round from a distance. 2 km lower than sea level and/or atmospheric level but higher than the dead center of this gob of clay. Silly and fun.
I met two people who hate seatbelts to this day: a old coworker and a pregnant woman. Both were able to wear without complaint with a large binder clip releaving the tension (on the belt at the shoulder)
Holy clothing must not be damaged unless you plan to do the ritual of discarding (shred abd burn). As a windbreaker has at least 4 holes when worn correctly, it is indeed holy.

I want a tale of deliverance from pharaoh across the red Sea that feels like playing skyrim (crazy magic going on! And civil war progression)



Building off of this, some Japanese households will bathe then towel off and let the next person bathe in the same water and shower off after. Therefore there is a 2 stage cleaning cycle.
I don’t have direct experience so call me out if I heard wrong.
