Maybe you can tell Elon that X makes it sound like a porn site on the way out...

 Maybe it's unlucky for me Our family went on a trip to Qinghai, a province whose raligun is Tibetan Buddhism, my family visited a temple there.
 I should say that I am not religious. But this time when our family's car tire got broke down on a highway where is somewhat very busy. It's so lucky for my family didn't got harm there. Maybe that's because the deity there help us safe from this disaster. I am still kicking. Otherwise I will RIP.

Glad you got out of that okay! Just don't tempt fate too much. You don't want to run out of guardian angels

Railgun good?

[Egan_BW]

Railgun good, Gaussgun better.

Nah, the railgun is more practical in many circumstances. It's more of a tradeoff than a strict superiority situation.

[Egan_BW]

It's quite clear which one is cooler, which is all that matters because chemical propellant is superior to magnets in terms of performance.

[Loud Whispers]

Lasguns (from dune) are pretty cool. They're like lightsabres if lightsabres didn't end at a fixed point and just swoosh swooshed over a large area

Giant worms suck. They make the planets they infest really ugly.

Idk what if they're just giant earthworms and they make giant soil quality for giant trees

[TD1]

Yea but imagine the horrifying giant early birds that would engender.

Nah, not really. It is just a weird sect of Christianity (up to the point when it is questionable that they are Christian. But I follow the rules of evolution. What evolved from Christianity is Christianity, like birds are dinosaurs. And yep, Christianity and Islam are subtypes of Judaism).

Yes, this sect has questionable ethics, sex and child abuse scandals, very unpleasant leaders who get rich by using gullible, etc... But it is no different from any other religion. There are better religions but there are also worse. Also, Mormons have many subdivisions themselves.

Their aggressive proselytizing overseas is another particularly horrible aspect, at least in my view.

The usual criticisms of any religion apply as Strongpoint says (and they're on the worse end of religions as a whole). However, in the US most criticism of Mormonism one will encounter in personal life will be from other Christians criticizing it on theological/cultural grounds, and if this is the source of their dislike it can be ignored (and is likely on some level hypocritical).
