It’s also why the garments were first introduced in other parts of the world where it was a more practical necessity, including hotter climates and where women typically wear dresses. Sleeveless tops, skirt bottoms and one-piece shifts were already available in Africa and the Philippines, according to the church’s online store.

He said a friend who served a mission in Africa got the sleeveless garments there last year and encouraged Walker to buy them as soon as they hit the shelves stateside.

So different parts of the world have options to wear different mormon underwear that other parts of the world can't?

“I feel like sometimes people act like it’s like a secret or something that we need to hide,” Walker said. “But to me, it’s just something that reminds me of promises I made with God, and so I don’t think it’s anything that I should keep secret.”

This is very confusing. If there are other styles that are mormon approved that he doesn't have because of his geography, does that mean those other people are not reminded of god because they aren't wearing the same undergarmets he is? If no, then there doesn't actually seem to be a correlation between what undergarments are worn and what promise was made to god, right? If church leaders can introduce new styles of undergarments, then where is god in the garments at all? If yesterday an undergarment wasn't church approved (and wouldn't remind a person of promises to god) the why, today, with the new undergarment approved would it suddenly take on the property of reminding of god?

You should have a burrito.

This is sound advice. I will follow through with it tomorrow!

My only problem is that I’m obsessed with health & fitness.

That might be a problem if it rises to the level where causes you trouble interacting with society peacefully.

I choose not to adapt to a sick obese society.

If you're talking about your own personal choices and consumption, no one is asking you to be obese. More importantly, the picture or the post the OP made also also doesn't advocate for an obese society, so your assumption that it is would be projection on your part, no?

If instead you're saying you won't tolerate other people in society being obese, that a very large problem because you don't get to make those choices for others.

And if that makes me an outlier and you think I need to be medicated in order to conform to all the fat slobs in the world,

That's a nice strawman, but it belongs to you, not me.

I suggested you need might want help because you saw a fairly innocuous wholesome picture of a cartoon character that enjoyed a meal and you wrote an entire narrative about how it would lead to the subject becoming obese and unhappy in life. That's not a reaction most folks have. Does that seem okay with you that you saw something that would otherwise be considered cute or happy and you only saw darkness in it?

I’m frolicking at a nude beach right now and you probably wouldn’t feel comfortable here.

Continue to do that if it brings you joy and fulfillment and doesn't hurt anyone.

If this is where your mind goes when presented with with the otherwise wholesome image in the OP, I'd really recommend you talk to someone. If you have clinical depression, it isn't your fault. Its a chemical imbalance and there is help available. We're all broken in some way. Some people wear their challenges on the outside, other are invisible on the inside. There is zero shame in seeking help.

the country is basically saying that on retirement day it’ll be all ”thanks for your service, now ~~go fuck yourself~~ pick up that can".

Now you go to chipotle and pay $20 for a burrito and a soda. Still fast, still decent enough (at least the one near me), but $20 is highway robbery.

Chipotle Burrito and a small fountain soda is $14 in my area. Its certainly risen in price over the last 6 years.

Sadly that isn't what he's saying. What he's saying is worse. He's claiming that the GOP is justified in ending the filibuster because when Democrats retake congress in the future "the Democrats will exercise their rights, and it will be done in the first day they take office".

He's accusing future Democrats of the crime he wants to commit as a justification for him committing the crime today.

The board doesn’t vote on his compensation package, the shareholders do.

Are you being willfully ignorant or are you not aware that during a proxy vote, shareholders that don't cast an individual vote let the board vote for them? The VAST MAJORITY of shareholders don't vote. This hands an enormous amount of votes to the board that vote how they want. A proxy vote that goes against the boards recommendation, is very rare in the corporate world.

Then why are they wanting to pay him 1 trillion dollars? Rich people are weird.

Because Musk is asking for it, and the Tesla board who are all his hand picked friends, are the ones that vote on it.

It all started with a sarcastic comment right here on Hackaday.com: ” How many phones do you know that sport a 5 and 1/4 inch diskette drive?” — and [Paul Sanjay] took that personally, or at least thought “Challenge accepted” because he immediately hooked an old Commodore floppy drive to his somewhat-less-old smartphone.

The argument started over UNIX file directories, in a post about Redox OS on smartphones— which was a [Paul Sanja] hack as well. [Paul] had everything he needed to pick up the gauntlet, and evidently did so promptly. The drive is a classic Commodore 1541, which means you’ll want to watch the demo video at 2x speed or better. (If you thought loading times felt slow in the old days, they’re positively glacial by modern standards.) The old floppy drive is plugged into a Google Pixel 3 running Postmarket OS. Sure, you could do this on Android, but a fully open Linux system is obviously the hacker’s choice. As a bonus, it makes the whole endeavor almost trivial.

Between the seven-year-old phone and the forty-year-old disk drive is an Arduino Pro Micro, configured with the XUM1541 firmware by [OpenBCM] to act as a translator. On the phone, the VICE emulator pretends to be a C64, and successfully loads Impossible Mission from an original disk. Arguably, the phone doesn’t “sport” the disk drive–if anything, it’s the other way around, given the size difference–but we think [Paul Sanja] has proven the point regardless. Bravo, [Paul].

Thanks to [Joseph Eoff], who accidentally issued the challenge and submitted the tip. If you’ve vexed someone into hacking (or been so vexed yourself), don’t hesitate to drop us a line!

We wish more people would try hacking their way through disagreements. It really, really beats a flame war.
