An elderly man accidentally rear-ended a brand-new sports car.
The young driver jumped out, furious.
“LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MY CAR! You owe me $10,000 right now, or I’m going to beat you half to death!”
The old man looked shaken.
“Oh my goodness,” he said. “I don’t have that kind of money. Let me call my son — he trains dolphins. He’ll know what to do.”
“DOLPHINS?” the guy scoffed, rolling his eyes.
The old man dialed his phone.
Before he could say a word, the angry driver grabbed it.
“So you’re a dolphin trainer, huh?” he barked into the phone.
“Well your old man just wrecked my car. I need ten grand RIGHT NOW — or I’m going to beat BOTH of you to a pulp!”
A calm voice replied, “I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
Exactly ten minutes later…
...a Jeep screeched to a stop.
A man stepped out, walked straight up to the bully, and absolutely flattened him, leaving him groaning on the pavement.
Then the man turned to his father and said, “Dad… for the LAST time. I train seals. Navy seals. Not dolphins.”
In a tip submitted by an AF Post viewer, Pope Leo XIV urges Cameroonian students not to leave their country. Instead, the Pope suggests they improve their own country.
The clip contradicts claims that the Pope is pro “open borders.”

That’s how many people in Japan took their own lives last year.
One person every 26 minutes.
Men in their 50s die at the highest rate.
They’re the ones carrying mortgages,
raising kids,
managing people above them and below them.
At work, someone asks if the numbers are ready.
At home, someone asks what’s for dinner.
Nobody asks if they’re okay.
The generation that holds everything together
is the one most quietly falling apart.
🇻🇦‼️ | El Cardenal Robert Sarah ha lanzado un mensaje de alerta, instando a las sociedades occidentales a reaccionar ante el islam, lo que considera una amenaza existencial para la cultura y valores del cristianismo. El purpurado ha instado a los cristianos a retomar el cuidado de su fe si quieren evitar el declive de su civilización.
🔥Pope Leo XIV praises the Christian soldier as a VOCATION:
"This is the context in which the mission of the Christian soldier is situated. Defending the weak, protecting peaceful coexistence, intervening in disasters, operating in international missions to preserve peace and restore order. All this cannot be reduced to a mere profession: it is a vocation, a response to a call that challenges the conscience. The soldier’s identity is forged by generosity, a spirit of service, high aspirations and deep feelings. But these values require a foundation, a gift of Grace capable of fostering charity to the point of total self-sacrifice. It is therefore necessary to inspire the codes, norms and missions of military life with the lifeblood of the Gospel so that, in the service of security and peace, the common good of peoples is always the first priority."

@ddeanetheology That is actually the most clear explanation I have seen. That helps connect what Pope Leo said with Just War doctrine. Thank you. I admit when I first read his post, I was troubled, because his words *do* seem to contradict what scripture and the catechism actually say.
@MattPur2 AMAZING! Do you have a dev chart somewhere? I love spiders. I'm partial to the brachypelma smithi, but my daughter loves the wolf spiders because "they give their babies piggy back rides". Any non-jumpers in the game?
@Catholic_bro A couple of years ago, my father-in-law, sister-in-law, and I went to confession together and were almost in a head on collision minutes later. I made a comment to the effect of, "*If* there is such a good time to be in a head on collision, that was it".
@Knights_Path@sienkiewiczolog Thank you. Seriously, that particular option is SO rare in modern games. FWIW (since, unlike many devs, you seem to actually care what people think) this is the comment that put it on my wishlist. I appreciate the character design as well, but THIS is unique.
@LisaBritton I like the idea, but when was the last time a 'federal office' did something productive?
I see the 'attack on the family' as the biggest problem facing men. Divorce courts are incredibly one-sided, for instance, allowing many wives to exploit their husbands with impunity.
