- Comment on What do far-left Christian liberationists feel about Catholics? 3 days ago:
My kid (we’re not religious) also went to a Catholic school, it was amazing. The headteacher was literally Christ-like. She fed and clothed the poor kids and sat with them when they or their family were sick or dying. Incredible.
The Catholic school I went to was terrible, mind, they punished kids for not being Catholic and were antisemitic as hell.
- Comment on How do left-leaning—or not even left-leaning, but pro-choice, pro-life people who don’t care about fornication—who are also Catholics and Christians justify their religion? 4 days ago:
I’m an atheist who has thoroughly studied the bible with the help of a concordance. Hope that helps.
- Comment on Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope 4 days ago:
Yeah, no. Anecdotal evidence isn’t evidence.

You can by accidentally touching it, not washing your hands, and then ingesting it. It only takes 2 milligrams.

They’re looking down on people while using terrible English.

Swearing is fine. “Taking the Lord’s name in vain” is about doing evil things in the name of God.
The “law” that is repeated most often in the New Testament is that love is important. It even says that love is the fulfillment of the law.
Leviticus is Old Testament and only applies to priests (who are not Christians, Christians have no business following anything in the OT).
- Comment on What's the weirdest argument you've gotten into with someone? 6 days ago:
DNA tests can’t prove nationality. Your DNA test can’t have proven you’re Polish. Your grandparents can, of course.
Anyway, a girl was complaining she had a bit of a tummy. I told her that’s perfectly natural and another girl told me that she has a flat stomach and that I made her feel insecure.
- Comment on Is there a way I can "hide" money with a program like paypal or something legit? I was planning on getting my family all jerseys on their birthdays. But didn't want to show a huge cash withdraw to do 1 week ago:
Wise now has a “jar” system where you can put money aside.

No, bro. Learn to handle money.

If you have a room in a shelter every day, you’re not homeless. It’s not nice, but it’s not homeless.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
So you’re saying homeless people have, um, homes?
- Comment on What's the best way to read and study Marxist theory/literature in a way that you'd easily remember? (crosspost from !actualsocialism@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !actualsocialism101@lemmy.dbzer0.com) 1 week ago:
Why is actual socialism talking about communism, which isn’t actual socialism?
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 1 week ago:
I.C.Es are trains in Germany. ICE are assholes in the US. Hope that helps.
- Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not? 1 week ago:
I had rich grandparents and great grandparents and they didn’t do any of that. The only “rich” thing I remember them doing is going hunting.
- Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not? 1 week ago:
Where I live in Germany, skiing is a middle class activity.
- Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not? 1 week ago:
My grandma was very wealthy. She wore tweeds to death. If she’d still been alive she’d have looked down on people showing off their wealth with clothing and accessories.
- Comment on Is giving only formula long term "healthy" for a baby? 1 week ago:
I produced enough milk for the entire country but the midwife winced when she saw the cracks. Yes, nipples can crack, people.
- Comment on Ancient skeleton unearthed in France is latest to be found sitting upright 1 week ago:
And yet you learn about American men fighting in France during WW2 🤔.
- Comment on The 10 Commandments apparently mentions absolutely nothing about protecting children from abuse. 1 week ago:
It wasn’t the norm. Child birth is dangerous, having children that young was even more dangerous. Children of rich families were married off for political reasons, but even they waited until they were older.

What reruns? I’ve never seen reruns.
- Comment on Where's antisemitism is illegal 1 week ago:
You can thank the Nazis for that one.

Didn’t work in Germany.
- Comment on Are all rich peoples clothes designer? 1 week ago:
Rich people have clothes made for them. People wanting to look rich wear designer clothing.
- Comment on YSK that Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, scientists, government officials. Everyone was terrified. 1 week ago:
When he had a (suspected) stroke, they sent out for a doctor. They couldn’t find a single doctor who would treat him, so they put him to bed and he died a horrible death.
- Comment on Am I right to be afraid of germs / is my family disgusting or am I overreacting and this is germaphobia? (read post) 1 week ago:
Viruses are evil. You don’t want any virus. Some bacteria are fine, but viruses never are. My boss is a virologist. The response to Covid infuriated her. She saw the whole long covid thing coming from miles away.

OP isn’t a germophobe. Has anyone who says this actually looked at the pictures?
- Comment on Am I right to be afraid of germs / is my family disgusting or am I overreacting and this is germaphobia? (read post) 1 week ago:
I disagree. OP is not going to far. There’s no way they’re going to be completely shielded against bacteria in that house, so it’snot going to affect their immune system. They’re absolutely doing the right thing cleaning their phone and refusing to eat leftovers. Their parents have a serious problem and that place isn’t safe to live in.
- Comment on Why do we eat dessert? 1 week ago:
If you don’t like dessert, don’t eat dessert. I don’t. I also eat at 6.30 and go to bed at 11.
