Right, but that won't update your wordcount as a fraction of 50K, with the percentage next to it automatically... which is why I think the function could be used as bait to scrape data. The NaNoWriMo forums being what they are, exploitation of their userbase would be consistent with the level of pozz present.
tl;dr: It's deep meta-board bullshit. Don't worry about it.
More specifically, it's a reference to the exchange in this thread, mashed up with Dom's usual citation of 'Eternal Jewish Race War' in his rule 16 moderation. The usage of 'intertemporal' here was specific to Dom's arguments against blood libel; no modern Jews called for the death of Christ, after all, you're accusing modern Jews of ancient Jew's behavior. That's mixing up time, hence, intertemporal.

... if Mormons considered the covenent fulfilled and Europeans the real Jews...
They consider the old covenant fulfilled, but there is no racial aspect to who the New Covenant's people are/can be. The doctrine is that you're adopted into the House of Israel, with a tribe assigned by a patriarch. There's no barrier to entry except that many will be called and few chosen.
To my mind, that's why the LDS leadership is sleep-walking the process of choosing the world. They're trying to convert everyone, save everyone. It's very evangelical. Yet by trying to go mainstream, the master of the world, the Adversary, gains a say in corrupting them. Osmosis vs Reverse Osmosis of evil, basically. Bog standard spiritual warfare.
They fund tons of immigrant sponsorship groups and try to convert non-whites all over the world to their faith.
Right. As I addressed above, large swaths of the LDS are totally naïve as regards race (both Black and JQ)-- the mainstream LDS lacks the theological basis to be otherwise after the decision to open the Priesthood in the seventies. Most of the 1800s sensibilities were assumed by the founders of the church, and not written into the doctrines. What little doctrine there was (like the priesthood restrictions) have been written out since.
Then you have your Romneys, Sandersons, and Becks-- ticket-takers, basically.
Both issues exploit the biggest weakness of the LDS: wolves are in the fold, so to speak, and there's no mechanism to deal with it internally.
Not wrong on either point.
The whole mission of the church is "The gathering of Israel." Where the Abrahamic covenant is restored and extended to the whole human family, via Ordinances at their Temples.
There is a parallel to the curse of Cain Ham in the Book of Mormon, too. Where sin causes the skin of the Lamanites to turn dark, which explains the dark skin of Native Americans.
The LDS Church has since backed off the latter point, allowing non-whites to receive the priesthood, and marking that teaching as in error. (They are trying to be a world church, pursuant to the former goal.)
However, in Glenn Beck's case, the simpler answer is that he's a ticket-taker who happens to have been Mormon. His response to the JQ aligns with that analysis more than Mormon theology. EDIT: You see the same thing with Sanderson and the LGBTQ+ stance he's taken.
I will vote for Trump. I will also refrain from punching right. Trump does deserve criticism from the right, because he rules from the middle; I don't think Trump's record is anything other than 'business as usual' 80s-era Democrat-- which, as Nick points out, isn't that great for young white men. When, other than through dissent now, would he even be heard? Then, you have to ask would the rot ever be addressed hereafter? No. The country would be saved, those who Made America Great Again (Again) would return to their slumber and the time we have now before Whites become a minority goes to waste.
Ironically, I think a scenario parallel to what's presently happening in the UK, with the US under a Harris administration could be better for the Right in the long run than sleepwalking through Trump's second term. I don't see the frogs jumping out of the pot unless we have things come to a boil.

I don't give a shit about the tweet, lol.
So bloody tiresome. Roll Az's Starfield rant again, but with Re-Logic rather than Bethesda, and fade to black.
Grummz isn't the best mouthpiece for criticism here. IIRC, his playtime was barely enough to have cleared the MSQ through Endwalker, let alone reach Dawntrail.
"Most insufferable character' also ignores Lyse, a similar waifu/mary-sue from Stormblood, which makes me think Grummz hasn't actually played through the MSQ. (Story skips are a thing, but that's also a black mark against anyone seriously critiquing the game's story.)
Even if the critique is based in fact, Grummz is enough of a clout-chaser to question his motives.
The other talking point is that you're not allowed to compare this latest expansion to Stormblood-- an earlier ff14 expansion where another strong female character (Lyse) got shoved into the spotlight to the detriment of the story.
Wuk Lamat's character arc is better than Lyse's, mirroring a journey from idealism to leadership, but she's also pushed so hard that it backfires. The heel among the rival leadership candidates (Bakool Ja Ja) and a bee-themed raid boss (Honey B. Lovely) are more popular. (Mostly because rule 34.)
Even the people screaming transphobia would be hard pressed to argue it was better than EW, ShB, or HW. That leaves the dreaded Stormblood comparison, which I think Dawntrail is better than-- but not by much. It's mostly the polish in production and the consistent mechanics that let Dawntrail win out over Stormblood.
100% true. The issue of ASoIaF being a subversion of heroic fantasy only complicates the writing of the ending for 'Hard R' Martin. See-- the 'traditional' ending would be a marriage. (Snow/Daenerys with her as the crown is what's usually proposed.) Martin has been so thoroughly subversive of the genre that now he's stuck having to either write a traditional/standard ending or not finish at all. Anything else, like the way the show ended, won't satisfy. So he's stuck.
