Re: This Sunday: IRS whistleblower to break his silence on LDS Church finances, will speak on ‘60 Minutes’

I tend to view these stories in the view of "How likely is this to change anything about the LDS church". The 60 Minutes piece registered a "not at all" for me. People outside the church would not view their spokesman in a positive light. People inside the church see him as just like all the other m...

I think it is fun to speculate what Will will say if Putin fails. Let's say Putin dies and sanity returns to the Russian military and they withdraw... how does Will save face?

Treason seems to be the easiest excuse right? It can't be that he miscalculated or chose to listen to propaganda.

Re: What Is Wrong With William Schryver? Can Someone Please Help Him?

He's clearly intelligent and an excellent example of how intelligence does not save anyone from confirmation bias and wishful thinking. He hates the liberal, secular political order that dominates the West and sees Putin as the strongest arm to bring it down. He's gained quite a following with this ...

Re: We Might Be Alone in the Universe

There is a Christian apologetic that makes the same argument. You can see it presented in the documentary called The Privileged Planet.

That hand is unsettlingly oversized. Nice render overall, though.
The A.I. drew his fingers that long because it presumably thinks he needs them to reach into your soul. :lol:

Stable Diffusion Portrait

In my view, as compared to the death mask, this rendering of Joseph Smith by Stable Diffusion is far more historically accurate than anything Del Parsons has produced. https://ldstalk.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/joseph-smith-stable-diffusion.png Here's a link https://ldstalk.files.wordpress.com/2022...
