Kitton mittons scientifically necessary. Don't let your car stomp around making so much noise.

Note for the internet: I am just clarifying the Catholic stance. I am not Catholic and not defending them.

Priests cannot reveal what someone tells them in confession. It's a lot like attorney-client privilege, as your priest is supposed to be your advocate before God. Breaking the seal of confession is a big deal (to them) because, just like criminals deserve representation, sinners need to be able to confess.

No, bad journalism. This is an important, overlooked, under covered story. I don't particularly care about Thuneberg or her location, but Israel bombing humanitarian aid ships should be much more widely reported.

Private companies love the heartland and will work out of patriotism even if rural routes are less profitable! 🤡

IT crowd is about nerds for nerds. Big Bang theory is about nerds for non nerds. "Nerd blackface" is more succinct though.

Who cares?

The media is pushing this narrative about "Trump voters" so that liberals will go "FAFO" and jerk off about leopards. The fact remains that most of the people hurt by these policies didn't vote for them.

This is your brain on American exceptionalism. It's kinda funny when people think an organization that practices war crimes across the world wouldn't do so at home. I'd love an explanation about how Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay happen when soldiers would never follow an illegal or immoral order.

Police kill Americans every day. The National Guard has killed Americans before. Maybe the military won't be called in to kill Americans, but I think people saying "The military would never kill Americans" really mean "I would never kill Americans". American citizens were killed by drone strike without anyone batting an eye.

How many right wing militiamen are ex military? Does anyone really believe there are no White Supremacists in the military? Probably most of the military wouldn't fire on Americans, but anyone who thinks there are zero service members just itching to murder people needs to read more history.

The party of Identity politics.

People seem to think the Dems are so pro-trans when they don't really do anything. Republicans just come up with random ways to make trans people's lives more difficult for no reason.

Woohoo, that's my boss! Explains a lot about the company.

Fun fact: we had to "return to office" last year. I had to move away from all my friends to a red state. Come to find out, there's practically nobody in the office either. All of our work is done over zoom. It was just a "quiet layoff", but I couldn't find another job in time to quit.

Conservatism is correlated with a complete lack of empathy. They have trouble understanding other people are sentient beings, let alone equally deserving of freedom. Any problem that doesn't affect them is just a lie made up by evil Others to take away what they rightly deserve, which is everything.

I've decided to believe that there was a grueling audition process and he ultimately had to go forward with his second choice.
