Howdy! Welcome to Day 25 of the r/indieheads Album of the Year 2021 Write-Up Series, our annual event where we showcase pieces from some of our favorite writers on the subreddit talking about their favorite records of the year! Today, we have u/danitykane on Lingua Ignota's SINNER GET READY.
August 6th, 2021 - Sargent House
Listen:
Background by /u/danitykane:
Lingua Ignota is the American singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist Kristin Hayter. Her music draws from varied sources, including extreme metal and classical, striking a noisy balance between the harsh and the serene, mostly the former. Her first two albums were self-released in 2017: LET THE EVIL OF HIS OWN LIPS COVER HIM and ALL BITCHES DIE. The waves they made were enough to earn the latter a rerelease on an indie label, making the way for 2019’s CALIGULA. That album truly broke ground, Hayter’s vocals only giving you enough beauty to take a breath before dragging you into the fires of hell. Guttural, grating, and, in Hayter’s own words - “ugly”, the album depicts the cycle of abuse in a way that many might consider gratuitous. They’re wrong, though: in its extreme, it is refreshing and honest. The best thing about her music is that it doesn’t “shine a light” on issues surrounding abuse and violence; it grabs you by the face and forces you to see the stories as they are and how they affect people. It’s not easy music to listen to, and I’ll admit to some of it testing my personal taste level. Even so, it is impossible to not respect the craftsmanship and power on display here.
In 2021, Hayter announced the followup to CALIGULA, the confrontationally-named SINNER GET READY with the release of the self-produced video for “PENNSYLVANIA FURNACE”. Much of the metal influences from her previous work were turned down in favor of an Appalachian folk sound, but the trademark intensity remained. It arrived on August 6 to rave reviews, including a rare perfect 10 from Anthony Fantano, setting off a wave of discourse and introducing Lingua Ignota to n

Previously: Silicone. Catfighting. Pole-dancing. A possible foursome. And the elimination of Brandi C. and one of the greatest reality-show contestants of all time, Rodeo. She will be missed.
So, it pains me to admit this, but there is one photo in the opening credits where Bret looks totally hot. His face is partly obscured by a cowboy hat, which might be part of it. My New Year's resolution is to make that stop happening, or gouge out my own eyes.
We enter on the night of last week's elimination. Bret, hung over and possibly (probably) having a crab flare-up, excuses himself to get some rest. The girls do their thing, which is drinking. Brandi M. is feeling relieved after elimination, so she starts sucking down the booze to the point where she slobbers champagne down her chin. And I mean, it's bubbly! Sometimes it just squirts right out of there. It starts in your toes and flows out of your nose till your nostrils glow just like Ross Perot's. Drunken Brandi M. is apparently getting on everyone's last nerve. She asks Erin how she feels, since she wanted to go home. What is this news? How had we not heard about this before? Intriguing. Brandi admits that she was a big drunk sloppy mess. However, she doesn't seem threatened by a good time. The next morning, Brandi is hung over and pukey-feeling. However, she's not as pukey-looking as Lacey, who says that she hasn't been able to win any challenges and get alone time with Bret, which makes her nervous. She's going to have to try another strategy. I'm sure it involves being a total asshole, which will be a nice change of pace.
The girls go downstairs and find some athletic gear on the pool table along with Bret Mail. "You know a good cheerleader can turn me on / But I really like a girl who knows how to go long / So suit up ladies because it's almost game time / and as usual a date with your man is on the line / There's only one more thing / Although it brings me great sorrow / I'll be saying goodbye to one more of you tomorrow." Heather is psyched, because she loves football. Jes, meanwhile, is ready to win a challenge and finally get a date with Bret.
The girls are divided into two teams. The Sweethearts are Brandi, Jes, Magdalena and Mia. The Fallen Angels are Heather, Lacey, Erin and Sam. You know it took every ounce of strength that Bret has in him not to name the teams The Roses and The Thorns. Brandi thinks her team, with the exception of Magdalena, will rock. What'

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Last week, the bulk of Jeremy’s commentary was on Martin Harris. Today, it’ll be about David Whitmer, with a little bit about Oliver Cowdery. After that, it segues into the same criticism about “spiritual eyes” that many of you have heard repeatedly over the years, and then on to James Strang and other issues. I don’t know how much we’ll get through today, but we’ll at least finish up the questions on the three witnesses.
Strangely enough, Jeremy doesn’t go into any detail or questions about the other eight witnesses or the unofficial witnesses at all. I don’t know why, except that they may be harder to explain away than the three witnesses who saw an angel and heard the voice of the Lord. For the eight witnesses in particular, their experience was a tangible one without any spiritual or supernatural significance. Before we’re done with the Witnesses section of the CES Letter, I think I’d like to talk about some of those other witnesses, since they tend to get glossed over not just by Jeremy, but by a lot of other people as well. As a people, we’re less familiar with them than we are with the three witnesses.
In picking up the portion on David Whitmer, Jeremy begins with a few quotes. The first is from his favorite anti-LDS book, Grant Palmer’s An Insider’s View of Mormon Origins, which he has quoted numerous times already:
> “David claimed in early June 1829 before their group declaration that he, Cowdery, and Joseph Smith observed ‘one of the Nephites’ carrying the records in a knapsack on his way to Cumorah. Several days later this trio perceived ‘that the Same Person was under the shed’ at the Whitmer farm.” — An Insider’s View of Mormon Origins, p. 179
I’m not sure why Jeremy or Grant Palmer thinks this recollection is a problem. It’s actually a pretty cool little story. This figure was identified by Whitmer as Moroni, though his nephew later claimed it was Nephi, and [he is the same figure who showed Mary Whitmer, David’s mother, the plates](https://knowhy.bookofmor

When I sat down to gather my sources and figure out how I wanted to open this section of questions/concerns, the topic I kept circling back to was that of unanswered Gospel questions. We all have them. I have plenty of them myself. In that regard, none of us are very different from Jeremy or anyone else who has ever asked these and other questions. Having Gospel questions and the search for answers to those questions is how the restoration of the Gospel came about in the first place. It’s how each of us was able to gain and maintain a testimony. And it’s why Oliver Cowdery was given the revelation I’m going to address later in this post.
But, depending on how we go about it, that search for answers to those questions can lead us down several different paths. We’ve talked at length throughout this series about how to get answers to your questions: pray, study, experiment upon the word, and lean on God to direct your efforts. And if you ask in faith, nothing wavering, the Holy Ghost will manifest to you the truth of all things.
And that’s true; the Holy Ghost will testify of Gospel truths wherever they are found. But what if our question is about Church history events? Or why the Priesthood ban was actually instituted? The Spirit can lead you to sources discussing the information you’re seeking, but He can’t really sit down and explain exactly what happened and why.
The truth is, there are some questions we just won’t get answers to in this lifetime. And we have to learn how to be okay with that. It’s a struggle. It’s probably one of the hardest lessons we’ll ever have to learn. For some people, like perhaps Jeremy Runnells, those unanswered questions lead them out of the Church. Some, like me, reach a point where we just don’t need the answers immediately and are content to wait in faith. Others are somewhere in the middle, unable to find answers but equally unable to let them go.
It can be frustrating and scary, not having all of the answers right when you need them the most. But I promise you that Heavenly Father has not left you alone in your search. And if you do reach out to Him durin
... keep reading on reddit ➡Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Today and next week, we’ll be talking about the Three Witnesses to the Book of Mormon. Martin Harris bears the brunt of it, which will likely take this entire post, with less about David Whitmer and hardly anything about Oliver Cowdery. Apparently, Jeremy couldn’t find much else to attack Oliver for, beyond the divining rod we discussed last week. He goes on at length about Martin Harris, though, so I’m just going to jump right in without a longer introduction.
> We are told that the witnesses never disavowed their testimonies, but we have not come to know these men or investigated what else they said about their experiences.
For once, he’s partially right. They never disavowed their testimonies. As a history geek, though, I have to disagree with the second statement. Jeremy may not know much about these men or investigated what else they said, but some of us certainly have. We have a wealth of information about them at our fingertips.
Among other resources, the Interpreter Foundation recently made a movie, Witnesses, that covers some of their experiences taken from their own words. They also created an entire website just about them. FAIR has a large section of their website devoted to them. So does Book of Mormon Central. Historian Richard L. Anderson wrote what is easily the best book about them. They’re discussed in the Church History Topics portion of the Church’s website. There’s a lesson solely about them in the Book of Mormon Teacher’s Manual. And Michael Ash wrote a 4-part brochure on them, which you can read here: Part 1 | Part 2 | [

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

I like the idea of these blockchain founders getting involved in Universities, it will inspire the next generation of blockchain developers to build new and exciting things for Web 3.0
Stephen Tse, founder and CEO of Harmony One, a fast and open blockchain for decentralized applications, is the latest global industry leader to be appointed to serve on the University of Wyoming Center for Blockchain and Digital Innovation (CBDI) Advisory Board.
Tse will join other advisory board members at the board’s first meeting in January, says Steven Lupien, UW CBDI director.
“Industry partners and leaders like Stephen Tse will help guide activities, curriculum, experiential learning and research opportunities for the center,” Lupien says. “Stephen will have the chance to actively engage with students, faculty, staff and other Wyoming leaders working in the blockchain technology space.”
Tse says he looks forward to being involved with UW and the CBDI Advisory Board.
“Wyoming has quietly become an epicenter for blockchain innovation, and I am proud to join the ranks of other esteemed individuals committed to making blockchain more accessible and scalable to unite more communities and build a brighter world,” Tse says. “I am looking forward to collaborating with the other board members and students at the University of Wyoming to work together in accelerating the future of the blockchain economy while we are still so early in the evolution of the space.”
Earlier this year, Harmony One made a gift commitment to UW totaling $120,000 over three years to support the WyoHackathon and blockchain-related educational, research and outreach programs.
Tse has been obsessed with protocols and compilers since high school. He reverse-engineered ICQ and X11 protocols; coded in OCaml for more than 15 years; and graduated with a doctoral degree in security protocols and compiler verification from the University of Pennsylvania.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
