  • Former Mormon here too. For me it was the news about the SEC fines. The church breaking the law to hide from the government and it’s members just how much money they actually have. For decades too. The reason they didn’t want people to know? Because they’d have ideas on how it should be spent. Yes, I think the hundreds of billions of dollars should be spent feeding and clothing the poor and homeless. Ya know, like that Jesus guy said, like a lot. But no, they say they need it for the 2nd coming. Cuz, Jesus is gonna need a large diversivied stock portfolio.

    Since then everything else fell apart. I saw the insane number of lawsuits suing the church for covering up sexual abuse, and the church defending the abusers, not the victims. Now all I can see is a bunch of terrified, greedy old men clutching to power and lying to try to stop their members leaving in droves.









  • Mostly because it’s starting with dob, what happens when they require a phone number, address, credit card, or social security number? Faker can fake all those in that library. But you’re absolutely right, for one dob it is massive overkill.

    Also, I’m do test automation for my career. Litterally use faker daily for generating test data. Defaulting to it is natural and familiar. Most use what they’re familiar with, rarely the best solution for a task.
