looks like Francis is wrong, and not a Catholic nor a pope

I’m not particularly “vindictive” but these are the kinds of cases where capital punishment / death penalty seem justified

Marriage is the sacred bond between a husband and wife which may allow for the biological production of children, as God created people male or female “in the image of God”

It’s therefore impossible for two people of the same gender to marry as it is outside of the divinely constituted institution of marriage, and the encyclical discusses at length the beauty of the matrimonial union

Higher-ups in the Church would therefore of course not sanction unnatural unions and would insist upon relationships that satisfy the mutual longing of man and woman

anyone who does any actual housework

I think you understand, maybe others have not had the same experience, and I should have perhaps asked people if they have done or do housework and have “felt the burn” from it or not

artificial exercise equipment at home

This was also what I was reasoning lately, that I would try to “exercise” and do “chores” and it was kind of overwhelming, so maybe I could just skip the “exercise” and get more chores done, which is a win win on saving time not “exercising” and getting exercise from the physical chores or work. I’ve sometimes felt like gyms are a “scam”, in that there’s probably some kind of practical manual labor “work” that could be done as “exercise” instead that produces something.

housework burns a lot of calories

I guess I should have added more clarity. There may be a few reasons why people don’t recognize housework as “exercise”.

Firstly, the word “housework” is a bit unclear. Maybe I consider more broadly things to be “housework” while some people are envisioning something simpler like baking which may seem to be pretty inactive if you’re just moving some light ingredients around.

Another issue is everyone’s living space may be different; for example, people with stairs might burn more calories going up and down them versus people on a flat level or with elevators.

Maybe some people move slowly, where they might be able to move faster, or lift less weight when they might be able to load themselves with more for a greater workout at once, or maybe they don’t do as much when they could add more chores to their routine.

Some of the tasks include:

cleaning, which might involve walking around to mop or scrubbing (which feels like an intense workout of muscles).

moving things around, like groceries, trash, machines like vacuum cleaners, laundry, furniture, children, etc.

moving up and down stairs, which burn about double the calories versus walking (this may depend on people’s environment)

walking around in general which can involve a lot of steps

making things, or like weeding, working with manual tools, and so on

element / matrix instead

interesting rollercoaster of a story, thanks for sharing

well psychology can be pretty non-scientific for one

Psychology is not a scientific field because it does not meet the five basic requirements for a field to be considered scientifically rigorous: clearly defined terminology, quantifiability, highly controlled experimental conditions, reproducibility, and predictability and testability.

lust might be another problem like gluttony for another

haha, sounds impossible, right?! It becomes possible because you put your fingers between two vertical keys, so you can do it with the 4 fingers on each hand on the home row keys (asdf jkl;) - try for example putting a middle finger between “E” and “D” on a keyboard and pressing them both at the same time

edit: you could hit more keys by putting your finger in the middle of four of them

bank attack on encryption?

I guess 4/32 would be most accurate, but I think a lot of these pushes for four day weeks are not for 10 hour days but 32 hours with fulltime pay

some are calling for 6 hour days whether on 4 or 5 day weeks which is another topic for discussion in perhaps anotger post or here as well

say I’m a flat earther, I say you look at the oceans and they’re flat, and you look at water and would expect it to just spill over (how can it be flat on a round earth? it makes no sense how the waters look on a round earth…)

or say you acknowledge that the composite images of the “Blue Marble” view of the earth have been faked: https://qz.com/192700/the-guy-who-created-iphones-earth-image-explains-why-he-needed-to-fake-it

how do we know the earth is the shape it is then if people are not honestly giving photographic evidence of its shape?

Or say with GPS, I say that could be done on the land, there is no need to rely on satellites. Then how do we need to believe in satellites orbiting the earth, when land operations are sufficient for explaining them?

Or say someone says they don’t know why people are lying about the earth being flat, when we know it is. What are they trying to hide by lying about its obvious flat shape?

and so on, to give you an idea of how a conversation might go

LOL
