@FelixJMiller domnhall?

You're right to point that out. ChatGPT does use that construction a lot. And the fact you noticed it? That's not just perceptive, it's ground-breaking

@FelixJMiller Same. The trouble is that it obscures what people interested in Christianity are actually after, which is (probably) substantive, wholesome community. Overfixation on rite blinds Catholics to this!

@FelixJMiller The biggest trend in Christianity overall is a move toward non-denominational contemporary churches. The trad movement is radically overhyped

@shygoblin @woke8yearold Seems to me both genders are generally embittered, in ways that require intense conscious effort to overcome.

@ZaidJilani Bernie just doesn’t speak Gen Z language fluently, and he seems motivated by something somewhat different and more concrete than his younger supporters.

Also this kind of generational difference is so evident in the world of media, where everything is dissected to death

@Suzanne08053 @canonlawyered what was the logic behind that? That it would adjust your internal body temp to suit the environment?
