this has either got to be a con or satire

i mean, mormonism kinda has a streak of "we need to secure the existence of our people by having poo poo loads of kids so we can eventually overwhelm our political enemies through our numerically dominant population" so i lean more towards being genuine.

like back when you didn't get a facebook/twitter/snapchat notification that someone called you a dickfaced cornhuffer it was a lot easier to ignore the social aspect, but when everyone at your school is communicating through the internet, forums, and memery you better believe that poo poo matters cause now it's where the socialization happens.

I literally got pop notifications for YouTube comments from a mental retardation the other day. And that's why I've turned off YouTube alerts

it's more "secure the existence of mormons" b/c they have to maintain a facade of multiculturalism since the majority of their growth happens in the 3rd world, but yeah they promote marrying w/in ur own race as a general rule and there are some old-school hella racist peeps in the church still

it wasn't until the, what, 70's that they finally allowed black people to enter the temples as mormons in good standing? i mean when the religion says "lol, all the angels that rebelled against god became black people" it kinda sets the tone for the whole racist thing.

After 9/11 when the planes were grounded for a few days, temperatures over the U.S. fluctuated more due to a lack of such pollution.

It was warmer in the day and cooler at night, a change of +/- 1C.
