  Catholicism IS Christianity.

  They might’ve had one (or several) bad experiences and this is a trauma response, but even in that case, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say “yeah sure they’ll pay their own way, I just feel safer if we have a second pair of eyes I trust in the restaurant/cafe/etc with us”. Like, you don’t gotta be at the table, but I kinda get it for the first date or two being “hey I trust this person, mind if they tag along and grab a drink at the bar to be my watchman or whatever”.

  Who knew kiting worked in real life?

  Just play City of Heroes. It’s still running in private servers, and Homecoming is even doing active development on new powers and questlines.

  Massaging your stats to make them say what you want is basic statistics 101.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who the fuck needs an x axis anyway⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, more kids are just getting diagnosed. Back when I was in school in the 90s, I was very lucky to be in a rich school district that actually taught teachers how to spot signs so they could recommend a screening, which the district would foot the bill for because they had a psychologist on staff. Now, more and more districts have people like that, and more and more teachers are taught how to spot early signs of autism (and more parents are aware of it) that kids who previously might have just been “weird kids” are actually getting diagnosed with autism.

  I won’t deny a potential environmental link, but if there is one, it’s likely more linked to fossil fuels than anything. BUT that’s hard to get traction against, and it doesn’t have a magic bullet that’ll immediately “solve” the issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hyperbaric oxygen chamber⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it was because of shoddy wiring causing a fire inside the capsule in an area that couldn’t be accessed easily or extinguished from the outside. The egress sequence was also very time consuming (somewhere like 90 seconds). Apollo I also was just a training module, it never got launched.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has this happened to you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That doesn’t sound very shareholder-minded of you. /s

  This would be Hel, which is sort of like “you weren’t terrible but you weren’t awesome”, although you also have Náströnd, which is a place within Hel reserved for murderers, adulterers, and those who break oaths.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feelin the Bern?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course, we all know that he also has invented time travel solely to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand to ignite WWI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THIS JUST IN: FBI suspects Kirk was likely targeted, more info to come⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, Russia’s certainly looking like they want to try at Finland again with those troop buildups, and they’re propping up a lot of armed agitators in Moldova, as well as a lot of sabotage across Central Europe (and now a drone incursion accidentally-maybe-not into Poland). Sure looks to me like if Russia isn’t an aggressor nation towards Europe, they’re doing a damn fine job imitating one.

  Do they have the troops, morale, equipment, money, or veterancy to effectively prosecute a war against a nation that hasn’t undergone serious regime change recently? My money is personally on no success, but I’m definitely willing to say that Putin will give it a try. He has leashed his entire wagon to the horse named “expansionism”, and he NEEDS some sort of victory to keep any semblance of public support, no matter how jaded his populace might be - otherwise his dictator friends might get ideas on seizing Russian lands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good luck!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d immediately miss one of those incredibly tall, narrow steps and break my fucking neck. No thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump rebrands Department of Defense as 'Department of War'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, all the Republicans in my sphere keep talking about how he’s the No More Wars guy. Sure seems like we’re trying to find a war against Venezuela, at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Laura Loomer wants ICE to livestream arrests for entertainment: "Make it exciting an show ICE agents tackling Juan and Jesus"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They already had a film crew embedded with some raids early on thanks to none other than Dr Motherfucking Phil.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US judge orders dismantling of Trump's 'Alligator Alcatraz'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they’re more saying “will this have any actual teeth to enforce it”. Trump has made a routine habit through his life of ignoring the courts entirely when it suits him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, we funded both Iran and the Taliban. We even elected a guy who illegally funneled weapon sales to Iran in order to take that money and give it to Nicaraguan death squads. Arguably, without US support, neither gets the critical mass it needs to effect regime change or become anything more than an upstart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but we’re doing a fantastic job exporting a lot of the doctrine and repackaging it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Family in fear after Tommy Robinson shares video of black man with white granddaughters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this sounds a lot like “here’s my video of the family I’m going to hate-crime.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump Secures Peace Deal Where Putin Gets Ukraine During The Week While Zelenskyy Gets Weekends And Two Weeks In The Summer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They were a lot better before Trump 1. Then they purged literally every member of their staff that was even slightly liberal, and their humor went with them. Every so often the bat finds the pinata.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New executive order puts all grants under political control⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve already got RFK doing that. The State Dept has also adopted pseudohistorical stances, and the Education Dept being cut is so they can teach those stances as fact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeasty⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, some companies still put inedible chemicals like bleach or ammonia on their food trash to make it completely useless “as a legal measure” because otherwise homeless people who eat expired food might sue (according to the bean counters).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is, or was (thanks RFK for handing the industry a blank check), how pharma development works. You don’t even get to do human trials until you’re pretty damn sure it’s not going to kill anyone. “Experimental medicine” stuff you read about is still medicine that’s been in development for YEARS, and gone through animal, cellular, and various other trials.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming you can find a buyer who will process that crypto, without touching either of those payment processors. All the crypto evangelists seem to forget the major crypto payment platforms are in use because you can actually rapidly exchange your crypto for that thing you can actually pay your rent with - but those function largely on the backbone of big payment platforms to trade that crypto into cash for the merchant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could one legally get a hold of those bank bill dye security dye packs, dye your own legally obtained cash with it, and spend it places? Just to make people suspect you're secretly a bank robber.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had to make these when I sold cellphones. So much sock money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The worm that keeps getting put into payment processor’s brains is that they might somehow be held criminally liable for games people purchase. It’s like telling a bus driver that they might be liable because they gave a ride to someone who robbed a store.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doge reportedly using AI tool to create ‘delete list’ of federal regulations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because DOGE is still running on Elon Musk’s strategy of “move fast, break things, and don’t fix anything until shit’s on fire”. People won’t be dying in concentration camps because of DOGE, they’ll just be homeless and probably half-dead of starvation (because of the repeal of the PFDA).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Itch.io deindexes NSFW games after becoming the latest target of skittish credit card companies and anti-porn group Collective Shout, catching an award-winning indie and more in the crossfire⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Except Collective Shout is Australian (which is unsurprising, considering that AUS is also a hotbed of hate groups).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're completely serious⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. It’s not that soft tissue DOESN’T fossilize, it’s just that the conditions to do so are much rather, and soft tissue is obviously much more susceptible to degradation before fossilization.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, salesperson. Please fondle my underwear before I buy it. And judge me for what I choose.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember kids, if you see someone shoplifting food/clothes/necessities, no you fucking didn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, media companies have been doing this for years now, and now the gaming industry has figured out the “cancel something and claim the potential profits as a tax writeoff”.
