All cultures hold a spark of divine truth, but only Catholicism possesses the fullness of truth. While no culture can fully contain this truth, Catholicism, by its universal nature, can embrace and integrate elements of any culture, enriching both in the process.
The reason people hate flock cameras is that they know the government will not use them to lock up the insane depraved criminals who will stab you while you walk through Times Square but will instead mail you a ticket for speeding on an empty highway at 2AM.
American college kids are out here getting blasted listening to live garage band Skynyrd while ripping cigs without a phone in sight and you’re blackpilling???
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME.
My friend pays $487 a month for health insurance.
That’s $5,844 a year.
He needed an MRI after hurting his shoulder.
Insurance-approved facility.
Insurance-approved doctor.
Everything “in network.”
The bill was $2,940.
Insurance negotiated it down to $1,860.
His deductible?
$2,500.
So he paid the $1,860.
Meaning he’ll spend at least $7,704 this year between premiums and that one scan before insurance meaningfully does anything.
He asked the billing office what the uninsured cash price was.
$1,100.
So somehow having insurance made the MRI $760 more expensive for him.
Very cool.
What exactly are we insuring against again?
I hate this. You can just feel the perverse incentives people will face to CHOOSE to be trans-human, not in the weird they-them register of the early 2020’s, but the new robot-cop augmentation of the late 2020’s.
Gross and unsettling.
Really pisses me off how every single thing or account that modern historians can’t immediately square with currently available knowledge is just written off as “oh they must’ve just been lying or crazy”
@Rothmus Except someone did coordinate that pencil. Someone made a pencil factory blueprint and then coordinated with suppliers at the various mines to get the parts needed. It's not ex nihilo but the pencil factory certainly didn't organically create itself
@808snorlax Why does twitter not have a dislike button? It's 2026 and we're still defending the medical establishment's knowledge about a disability that came from nowhere 30 years ago
What a nightmare. By implementing the tariffs illegally, and now having to unwind them, the Trump administration created over $100 billion of profit for corporations selling foreign products, at the expense of American consumers.
Your refund: $0.00
Apple’s profit: $2.2 billion
@nicksortor@BillMelugin_ This is not northern Spain, it's northern Morocco. A single autonomous city controlled by Spain on the Moroccan side of the mediterranean. I'm not in favor but this is not mainland Europe
@lthlnkso and while the government is gridlocked, the banks, the tech corporations, the financial institutions and the media are in lockstep using power to their own purposes without any checks whatsoever
