The exact same as any other pedophile, with the added penalty of immediate expulsion from their faith community.

BORK

Watched an online screening of 20 Days in Mariupol a few days ago with a Ukrainian charity I donate to. Cried like a baby, just like the first time I saw it.

There are something like 8,500 people just in the Secret Service alone. They do a lot more than just guard the president.

As much as I’m wishing for it, you can see him talking to the person next to him well after the shots go off. It looks like he just trips and falls on his face as he gets out of the chair.

And 90% of logistics is moving heavy things long distances.

I’ve never met a single service person, in both my 10 years in and since, who didn’t have to carry heavy shit. The whole military mindset is “Don’t use a machine to do what human bodies can do with a little effort.”

Confidently incorrect is the best kind of incorrect.

Tell me you a) haven’t paid attention to any modern conflict taking place on earth right now, and b) you’ve never actually done any of it yourself, without telling me.

If they’re looking to mod it to accept pirated games, when it was produced during that console’s run would tell them if it has certain firmware versions that are easy to exploit. Otherwise, I have no idea.

Knockoff ludes are popular south of the equator. Africa, Southeast Asia. No one makes a legitimate Quaalude anymore, so it’s all illicit production, mostly in India, iirc.

I have zero interest in the Bible beyond the initial curiosity that led me to read it 30 years ago. Once was enough.

If the only books available to me are the texts of world religions, give me the myths and sagas of the Nordic peoples. At least they invented the modern novel and have stuff that’s entertaining to read.

I hoped it was Zlad!

Never thought I’d see the day when blindly pro-Christ America threatens the Holy See with the murder of the pope and the creation of a heretical antipope. Was definitely not on my “Crazies of 2026” bingo card.

The only thing any of the gun buybacks I’ve been to in the Northeast ever accomplished was letting collector’s know where they could buy guns for cheap. The state never offers full value, it’s always like, $100 and a gift card, so collectors would just go up and down the line offering more than the government. I picked up my shotgun and Remington 700 cheap as hell out of a gun buyback line.

List of Roman Deities

This includes such high profile gods and goddesses as Devera, who blessed the brooms used to sweep temples, Laverna, goddess of charlatans and theives, Lua, who specifically existed to have weapons captured in war sacrificed to her, Picus, an Italian god of woodpeckers, or Salus, goddess of specifically the welfare of people living in the city of Rome.

How much more specific and unknown do you want to get? There are plenty of surviving deities from the Roman era who have no surviving function that we know of.

Trump living up to his TACO nickname.

You expect a guy who lied to get out of military service to have balls? The only distinguishing feature of our rapist in chief’s guts is the eye-wateringly bright color of yellow they are.

I love watching the carpenter bees at my house. The ones that are on patrol follow the most exact flight patterns, it’s crazy. They always fly the same narrow lane, same height, stop and hover at the same spot for the same length of time. It’s amazing to watch.

Thomas Midgley, Jr

Invented CFCs like Freon, which caused the hole in the ozone layer, and then later went on to pioneer the use of lead in gasoline, which is estimated to have resulted in the cumulative loss of millions of IQ points from humanity during its use, not to mention lead-derived cancers and other illnesses.

Possibly the single greatest negative contribution to the environment and humanity.

I said laws in general, not TV censorship.

We’ve got plenty of issues in the US, but let’s not pretend the UK is a bastion of freedom in the world.

I can still wear a “From the River to the Sea” shirt in the US.

Because “goddamnit” is a blasphemy, and the vast majority of laws in the world were written by religious zealots of one stripe or another.

Not really logical, but that’s humanity for you.

“Well, fuck me runnin’.” would certainly be…logistically challenging.
