It's weird. I watched this movie, then 30 years of silence, and then I've seen this clip now twice in as many days. TikTok random #FYP vid, and now this thread. The aliens are tinkering with our algorithms!

Yes indeedily-doodily! Me too. I really caught the temple bug recently, so much that I've now got a spreadsheet that I'll update every General Conference and whenever there's a new announcement. The spreadsheet gives me this chart, which thrills the heck out of me: That there's what you call exponential growth. I last saw a chart like that, when we were looking at COVID infection rates. One person had it, then a dozen, then the whole world. And now the same sort of thing is happening with temples. The next 5 years are going to be a hoot. The open question is how long the exponential growth will continue. Someone did a plot - if it continues like it is now, we'll have ~2500 temples in 40 years.

Totally agree. My point is, NPR is on one "side", while the chart has it looking nice and centerist. It needs to be a big handful of pixles to the left, in order to have this chart accurately display NPR's bias. You don't get to be thought of as "Middle" when you: - Suppress stories that could impact an election and bias voters against the Democratic incumbent - Suppress stories from reliable science and news sources that jeopardize a nonconservative COVID narrative - Push shaky and groundless stories about the Republican candidate being a Russian schill - Refuse to admit any wrongdoing or apologize after the general public eventually catches up and catches on to the truth. Doncha think?

Yay - they keep that thing updated! Yep, everyone and every source has a bias. Every media source has a political bent. Every individual reporter, every news desk anchor, every editorial staff. Although I'd suppose NPR could be re-evaluated. They suppressed Hunter's Laptop and the COVID lab leak theory, and pushed Trump's Russian Collusion controversy hard. And, when all 3 turned out to be what they are, NPR couldn't be bothered to admit any wrongdoing or apologize. https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust

I get much of my geopolitics news from creators like this guy: https://www.youtube.com/@PrestonStewart

I must point out again that you've never met me.

If you're gonna use anything from that film as an example, you must use this scene where Gandalf scares Sam just because he can:

Obviously, you've never seen me. And the entire mess has been relentlessly parodied and meme'd ever since. One of the better ones:

C'mon Gator admit it, this is the only reason you never burned yourself on a stove, or bullied people, or huffed the marijuanas.

The Berenstein Bears was a staple of my childhood, and my kids' as well. Honest look at family life, dealt with real issues. Before congress got involved and made GI Joe devote a portion of each episode to some stupid messaging directed at how kids shouldn't bully but should brush teeth or whatever.

Movie/show thread! What are you watching?

I'm only 2 years away from starting the first one as a way of coping with the second. -

NeuroTypical replied to NeuroTypical's topic in General Discussion
I watched Raya and the Last Dragon for the 2nd time. Still excellent. All I really remembered from the first time, was best animation I'd seen in a decade, and I won a facebook argument about it's worth. I still find wholesome and correct principles throughout the thing. I had forgotten what a huge emotion dump it is, although some of that is unique to me because I've lost both parents and the movie is filled with broken orphans. -
The Book of Mormon – what’s new to you?
NeuroTypical replied to Traveler's topic in LDS Gospel Discussion
It's fascinating watching GenZ/Alpha starting to expound on stuff they're learning about the BoM. So much political and social commentary goes with it:
