  • I live in an area so red that if you saw it you'd say it was bleeding. The people here always, and I mean always, talk about how wrong it is for someone to act as a vigilante, and murder is wrong, and the insurance companies might be not-the-best, but it's no excuse... bla bla bla. They think the woman here is in the wrong, and don't even care.

    See the recent slew of posts about the new york times for the conservative take on the issue.

  • Again, as somebody that was grown catholic, where are you getting that from?

    Then, like most catholics in the wild, you don't have much grasp of the tenets of the religion. It's weird that I'm the only one in my family who actually remembers anything from the catechism classes, but it seems standard in my see (that I'm not a part of anymore, but when I was forced to attend mass and such) that no one has any idea of the various positions of the faith espoused by the church. Catholicism is one of the interesting christian sects because it actually has a long history of 'reasoning' its way to the conclusions that shape the beliefs, and its sort of sad that the average person claiming catholicism as their religion knows so little of it.

    Anyway, back to the original point: No meat on Fridays has been a thing for a very long time, in the actual annals of the religion's leaders. Go look at the council of Trent and their declarations. For the philosophy of it, read Thomas Aquinas and his (now) laughable idea: The idea that fish don't inherit original sin because they don't have sex. For the practical reasons, go read the NPR article that details some of the history behind it.

  • And let's not even get into whether the water molecule is the same two Hs and O that it was when it was in Hitler's mouth. Or, holy hell, what if his water became your muscles! Which, you know, is another possibility.

  • If the rules are the same everywhere, they would do what every other competent place that has procedures that need to be followed does, and post them at the front. The fact that a TSA bitch has to stand there and tell you what to do means they've already failed.

  • I mean, the biggest issue with me for the great googlio isn't the ads and the ai, both of which I hate, but the actual shit-infested results. It's not removing the ads full of SEO that are posing as websites, it's just giving you an old UI for the new 2025™ search.

  • Repair steps are one of the few tasks that I feel videos are better than words (and sometimes pictures). It definitely helps to see the motions they're taking and a single capture of the location from walking up to the car (or other repairable object) all the way to looking at the part that needs fixing.

    Can you imagine knowing that people refuse to help you because they think ghosts are real? Dying of preventable causes because some idiot was told something invisible existed? Medicine Aid right at your fingertips from qualified professionals but quasi-religion ensured it didn't happen?

  • I prefer the dratini->gyrados / magikarp->dragonite pipeline theory, myself, but I can gestate with this caterpie branch. The venonat->butterfree coloring and eyes do seem too coincidental. Maybe the artists that worked on each one had their favorite colors, so pokemon they did all ended up schemed similarly?

  • I've got this thing called a phone that accesses this other thing called the internet which has this other thing called a campaign website with links to these other things that the person running for office has stated in an official manner about their policies. Why the hell would I want someone to come talk to me in person, where they are going to lack information, bumble about trying to set the right tone, and take far longer to get the point across than these five words: Harris is better than Trump.

    I can see it for a small, local candidate... but for the example given of the Harris campaign, the fucking presidential race? Come on, let's be serious.

  • Though the article made sure to mention she pulled into his way

    I mean, like it or not, that's the way the law reads and is applied. We run into it with motorcycles all the time. Barring extreme cases, the car that pulls in front of the speeding vehicle is 'at fault.'

  • I once had a beagle that was a voracious insect killer. She would play with spiders, cockroaches, ants, etc. the same way people talk about cats playing with mice. Eventually, she would always make a mistake of pressing too hard when trapping the insect and pulling it back, and we'd have another little squish spot by the back door that needed to be cleaned.

  • That, AND the software is a piece of shit that you need to wait 15 minutes every time you jump to a different time, even if that time is 5 seconds away... Ask me how I come to be so quick with this response. I'm not bitter about working with a cheap employer's video system, not at all.
