The Honor Spren she/her Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Kk. It did remind me of this (sadly) hilarious dissection of stock photos tagged "Jew". (Also that site is a Jewish blog with multiple authors if you're looking for Jewish opinions on whatever. ) What the storming colors is that? That looks like it might be even worse then These stock photos of lds. 1

Delightful Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Oy vey. Ok. Is this a religion issue, or if we look at stock photos for any random group will they be equally ridiculous? Someone wanna try that? (Btw what does LDS stand for, and is it exactly the same thing as Mormon?) Edited December 12, 2015 by Delightful

Is this a religion issue, or if we look at stock photos for any random group will they be equally ridiculous? Someone wanna try that? (Btw what does LDS stand for, and is it exactly the same thing as Mormon?) It stands for Latter Day Saints, which is short for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. And yes, mormons is just another nickname for us. Edited December 12, 2015 by The Honor Spren
Delightful Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 And who are the Latter Day Saints and why are they latter day? (And should I be using capitals?)

I think I'm staying away from stock photos now.

The Honor Spren she/her Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 And who are the Latter Day Saints and why are they latter day? (And should I be using capitals?) The term "Latter Day Saints" applies to the members of our church. However, we do not take the term saint to mean a righteous angel. We believe that "A saint is a sinner who keeps on trying," or in other words a person who tries to be righteous. "Latter Day" is because we believe we are nearing the time when prophesies on the second coming of Christ are coming true and therefore nearing the last or latter days. And capitals are not necessary.

Young Bard he/him Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Yep... I can trump all of that. Australian people. Atheists. EDIT: Actually, they weren't as bad as I was expecting. I've seen a lot worse for both of those. (Some American tourists were amazed that we didn't all act like Crocodile Dundee. Either that or something out of Neighbours, the universally hated show in Australia. And atheists... well, everyone knows they secretly worship the devil.) Edited December 12, 2015 by The Young Bard 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Atheists. The first picture brings up a lot of questions. Why is that random cross there? Where is there, anyway? Was there a random cross convention and this man just chose to walk away from one of them, or was this a random cross put up for the sole purpose of this man having something to walk away from? Though I have to say the one of the man shouting at the city is my favorite. There is no shortage of "what" and "why," though probably the most pertinent "what" is "what does this have to do with atheism, atheists believe in cities."

As an Australian Atheist I am also quite pleasantly surprised. I was expecting cork-hats, kangaroos and devil horns. The Australian ones in particular are actually really quite a good example. 1
The Honor Spren she/her Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Exactly so. And because everyone is obviously wondering, I do have this on a T-shirt. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Is there some sort of website you can go to where you ask "Will I jump the shark with this next scene I'm writing?" and the answer will always be no? Because I'd like one.

Or a crescent, or Star of David or.......? Or wouldn't it make more sense for him to be walking away from a religious institution? Edited December 13, 2015 by Rubix Please don't double post
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Jump the shark? A moment when a work begins a noticeable decline in quality, often because the writer(s) are clearly out of ideas. Also, why a cross? Why not an ashram? Or a crescent, or Star of David or.......? Or wouldn't it make more sense for him to be walking away from a religious institution? Huh. That's actually a good point. Why does it have to be a Christian symbol, anyhow?
Kaymyth she/her Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Is there some sort of website you can go to where you ask "Will I jump the shark with this next scene I'm writing?" and the answer will always be no? Because I'd like one. I'm carefully planning my shark-jump moment with the Eva stories. After the first book, I've got two more and a short story plotted out. The short story happens between 2 and 3, and I fully expect cries of both glee and indignation when people read it.
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 That akward moment when a nephew objects to being picked up because I am missing tits. He is now giving me the evils as he slowly goes to sleep. 3

Kestrel she/her Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Oh man, my entire town has been in the dumps all day. We've been on a huge winning streak and were one game from making to state. We lost, and to a team with no respect and cheated the entire time. But the refs hate us, so they didn't care. 4
