That’s how the Episcopalians teach it.
I’m giving up on Lemmy. Too many toxic users. Too many bad mods who fail to remove the toxicity. And toxicity seems to be part of the culture here, judging from how everyone acts like it’s normal. Also, why is everyone a programmer?
That’s how the Episcopalians teach it.
I knew a vegan who was a nice guy. He wasn’t obnoxious about his veganism. He was, however, obnoxious about his Christianity.
And to be honest, he looked a bit malnourished.
I understand the controversy, because if there’s one thing the internet loves more than free speech, it’s cats.
If free speech has a limit, it’s at the point where it starts to hurt cats.
I hoped I might be eligible for Irish citizenship through my grandfather, and recently found out that I’m not.
My visa runs out soon and I have to return to the imperial core.
I dunno. I heard they only brought one set of clothes, and they have to wear those clothes until February without being able to wash them.
Doesn’t sound pleasant.
I knew a woman who took a job in a porn shop while she worked on her book (a children’s book), and depression set in when she realized she hadn’t touched her manuscript in 2 years and her career was being a porn clerk.
She ended up becoming the manager of three stores.
Edit: This was back in the ‘90s, when people bought porn in stores.
I haven’t watched Wakanda Forever, but […] Looking at some of the complaints, it appears to have a similar problem to other modern Disney films, in which women are put on an elevated pedestal and men are left to be bumbling idiots completely incapable of basic human functions.
No, not at all. There are three male characters in the film (Winston Duke’s M’Baku, Martin Freeman’s Everett Ross, and Tenoch Huerta’s Namor), and they are all very competent. One is a CIA agent, and the other two are leaders of their people.
I did watch Black Panther […] I do recall noticing that Disney chose only white actors to play all the villain roles in Black Panther
The villain in Black Panther was Erik Killmonger, played by the very black Michael B. Jordan.
I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.
The Crusaders didn’t do a fraction of what Muslims did during their actual initial conquest.
The Crusaders killed every man, woman, and child in Jerusalem until the streets were flowing with blood.
because they murdered and destroyed the very civilization that created said knowledge
What are you talking about?
Are you blaming the collapse of the Roman Empire and the ensuing Dark Ages on Muslims? (A religion that didn’t even exist yet at the start of the Dark Ages.)

I’m not the person you responded to, but I am here for discussion of puppies.
There was a writer’s strike in the middle of the final season which seems to have sent the show off the rails.
No, they’re the same name. Guylaine is a respelling of Ghislaine that makes the pronunciation more obvious, like how Jeffrey is a respelling of Geoffrey.
They seem different to you because you’re using the non-traditional pronunciation of Ghislaine.
There are two pronunciations.
The original pronunciation is gee-LENN. (Hard G like gum, not gin. Note that the S is silent.)
The more common pronunciation these days is zhee-SLENN.
The gee-LENN pronunciation is still common in Belgium (where the name originates) while zhee-SLENN is more common In France and Quebec.
Trams and trains have drivers.
That’s Heather Locklear, right?
Why would China engage in military conflict with the USA when they can just sit back and watch the USA collapse on its own?
So what you’re saying is: Lynne Cheney has been wrong for 23 years so far.
Many countries with FPTP have multi-party systems, including Canada and the UK.
