@varrock This manifests in many weird ways.

One of them is that the polite thing to do in other cultures is to let people persist in error.

Correcting someone outside the west is seen as disrespectful, whereas in the west it is seen as helpful.

@varrock Its true: In the west, the societal expectation is to proactively make things easier for other people (don't stand in people's way for example).

Everywhere else, including East Asia, the societal expectation is to put up with everyone else (go around someone who is in your way)

@ReinceNiebuhr I have a friend from Jordan and he told me that you would never ask a person a question in which they benefit by lying (because they will lie every time).

He was a translator for the UN and said the fake refugees couldnt believe how naive the judges were and lied in every case.

@GodPlaysCards A little under half of Charles Martel's soldiers were professionals. He took out a loan from the Pope to create a standing army (it was too expensive back then to have standing armies). His elite heavy infantry had been training and fighting with him for 10 years.

@father_rmv His body is incorrupt and buried at the Nidaros Cathedral.

Also, he interceded for his son, Magnus the Good, at the Battle of Lyrskov Heath, ringing his church bell through the sky as a signal for the Norsemen to attack.

@Sachinettiyil We need more traditional seminaries. My diocese has 6 seminarians, while there are 9 from my parish at the seminary for our order (IVE).

We can't celebrate the TLM. All we do is follow the liturgical rules laid out in V2 (that most churches ignore), and our vocations flourish.

@sixringsofsteeI Good question. I wasn't saying I would make the trade. I don't see many good options for Miami

@HbdNrx Its well documented that children without fathers (of any race) mature faster. It's especially prominent in women.

@doctahotdog @statmuse I agree that I'd rather have PJ, but Grant Williams was a foul liability because we ran him at center in lineups without a big.
