It's always deeply amusing when people try morally equating the Aztecs to the Catholics.
The worst thing I can say about Catholics is that they are- quite literally- spiritual bureaucrats. More people have probably died waiting for Mass to end so they can finally use the bathroom than the Inquisition ever actually killed.
The roughly 3000 people killed by the Spanish Inquisition were primarily the targets of pogroms following the Reconquista. People tend to not like their former occupiers and tax collectors trying to sneakily practice their old faiths after being told to convert or get the fuck out.
Still less bloody than the average Socialist regime.
Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.
One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??
The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.
Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!
After we discovered it was an invalid Mass, we tuned into Fr. Mike Schmitz Sunday Mass Livestream on YouTube, and his homily today was about... invalid Masses 😭
That is one thing I've noticed. Hardly anyone that has joined the army in the past several years has any tattoos at all. Yet it seems like every civilian is covered in them.
office is now at absurd situation where none of the Ex Army/Chairforce/Navy/USMC guys have tattoos but almost all of the college only white-collar crowd does
I heard from a VERY reliable anonymous source that H-1B visa holders are self-deporting in RECORD numbers!
Here are the main groups leaving the country voluntarily:
1. Individuals who have no pathway to a green card after a failed Labor Market Test (LMT). Full credit is due to Jobs Now and the thousands of Americans applying for PERM jobs.
2. Individuals working for suspicious consultancies, because they are aware that they are being investigated.
3. Individuals who own rental properties are self-deporting, because they are becoming aware that the US government is actually processing my tips. As a friendly reminder, the first visa revocation letters were sent to H-1B landlords 3 months ago.
4. Individuals in the DFW area are starting to see that Americans' frustrations with the H-1B visa are real, and that Americans are starting to organize. They know that it is a matter of time before more fraud investigations are launched or that legislative changes are implemented.
The common point between these 4 groups is that they are scared of being grabbed by ICE, and would much rather self-deport before they need to admit to their families that they got deported.
Despite this progress, this is not the time to slow down and sit on our laurels. This is the time to double down and work harder than ever before.
This is why I will personally respond to every single inquiry from individuals wanting to monitor their local area for listings. If I have to train 100+ of you one-on-one and answer questions, I will.
@codym1917@GhuneCru A friend is someone who holds the ones they consider friends accountable. If you don't do that, that's when you get total fuck sticks.
The only time someone in my family who wasn’t my mom or grandma hit me was when I was 16 and my uncle was working on his 1970s Mustang in the driveway and I asked how someone could fix a car every day for 20 years and it still didn’t work
@BSpackman The LDS Church was founded on the idea that every Church itemized here is the issue of a ~2nd century Great Apostasy, and thus only Mormons are the "real" Church.
Why would you want to be added to a list of all these churches Joseph Smith claimed were heretics?
@MeltingSnowBro Sometimes. I personally prefer evening Mass over morning Mass, but I also have a fucked sleep schedule and when given free will, my body wants to sleep from 1am until 9am.
Went in for some blood work a few weeks ago, and was talking to the guy drawing my blood. He was an MOS transfer from HIMARs. He hadn't heard about them sinking a sub when I asked him his thoughts. He was so pissed and proud. Pissed that it could've been him, proud that someone he knows got to be part of that history.
Again, you are not Christian. You reject the Nicene Creed. You reject the Triune God. You reject the Bible. The most charitable description of your cult is that it is a Christian fanfiction. In reality, Mormons is Islam for White people.
The Pentagon’s decision to list The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apart from other Christian faiths is wrong and needs to be corrected.
No one needs to wonder where members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stand. We stand with Christ. We are Christians.
On that ground, and on the much larger ground of shared faith, values, and purpose, Latter-day Saints stand alongside many Christians of every tradition in following the teachings of Christ.
We only ask to be accurately portrayed.
I strongly urge the Department to correct the record.
