  It's what society deserves for its continued use of stupid abbreviations.

  
  

  I mean, who uses "cop" when it's CLEARLY short for Chief Of Police.

  
  

  0/10 society, try again when you realize that a plane is a surface and an airplane is a vehicle.

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  Every classroom I've been in recently has had at least a couple left-handed desks thrown into the mix. Maybe my school is just more forward-thinking than yours, I dunno.

  
  

  Also, yesterday I was in a classroom where someone had put a left-handed desk against the left-hand wall. How is anyone supposed to sit there? Idiots.

  I've seen left-handed desks (and sat in them before), and even seen classrooms with mixed right-handed and left-handed desks, too.
  
  That said, civilization, where are my flying cars?  And my sky walkways?

  Yeah, it's the 21st century if you assume that the world started with Jesus' birth. Disgusting Christians.

  In my religion, we are taught that the exact date of His birth was April 6, but we don't know the year.

  Same for us.
  
  I should know the exact date. Part of the various interpretations of the SDA involves Daniel predicting the birth of Jesus, and that sounds like it requires exact dates.

  The most famous figure in our church's history is a woman. A female church leader, for that matter. I just realized that.
  
  Bet the Seventh Day Baptists can't brag about that, huh?

  all i know about seventh-day adventists is:
  
  1. they go to church on saturdays
  
  2. something about proselytizing?

  what i know about mormons:
  
  1. they have an additional book to the bible, said to have to do with what jesus did after coming to america
  
  2. they basically dominate the state of utah, culturally and politically (and they are mainly conservative)
  
  3. moroni, joseph smith, brigham young, harry reid, mitt romney, and ken jennings
  
  4. they have really awesome religious buildings, including one that houses one of the world's largest organs, and they frequently deck the steeples with a golden statue

  oh, SDAs also don't drink alcohol?
  
  cool.
  
  i forgot to add, mormons don't drink alcohol, coffee, or various beverages.  so say what you will about their politics, at least they have some idea of how to live healthy lifestyles.
  
• glennmagusharvey

  2014-09-27 19:51:20

  also, some of the more conservative mainline protestant denominations seem to regard mormons as insane crazy hellspawn fuckers or something

  Elder Packer hates jetpacks and won't let us research them.

  
  

  (Explanation of joke:  ELder Boyd K. Packer is the grumpy old man of the church.)

  
  

  (Explanation of culture around joke:  ONly I can make jokes like this, because i'm Mormon.)

  Our dietary restrictions are similar to the Mormon ones.
  
  We also follow the Leviticus 11 rules, and White's writings promote vegetarianism, along with a number of health stuff.
  
  A good deal of her stuff got confirmed with 20th century health science, iirc.

  It's actually short for "copper," in reference to the material that constabulary helmets used to be made out of, particularly in London. I thought that you were aware of this fact.
