Breaking away is sometimes the right thing to do, and from what you’re saying, OP, maybe you should break away before Turkey Day, not after.
I broke away for 13 years, enjoyed things better without them than with them. By the time I came back, some of the family had mellowed, others had died, and we actually have decent holidays now. It gets better.
And all of this has been public knowledge for a long, long time, long enough that anyone paying tithes to the Catholic Church is scum.
Well, nobody certainly didn’t see that coming.
It was probably never true, but for many years I foolishly thought that ‘bankruptcy’ meant ‘going out of business.’ That’s what it means if a mom-and-pop restaurant or shop declares bankruptcy. When companies get ginormous, though, they never go away. Rite Aid will ‘reorganize’ itself with fresh investors, and it’ll still be a shitty drug store long after everyone reading this is dead.
Hockey has been dead to me since the NHL made this announcement.
There are things going on that are less important than which monstrous Republican is Speaker of the House and which office Nancy Pelosi’s desk is in, but Republicans are fucking the world over in many, many far more important ways.
Jamie Dimon is a wealthy old fart who never worked a day in his plush lazy life. What he says interests me less than analyzing my neighbor’s dog’s poop as its eaten by bugs.
And maybe some time before he dies, let Zayn Al-Abidin Muhammad Husayn out of this American dungeon.
Seconded. I’ve thought the Pope’s knowledge and support for Nazi Germany and the Holocaust was common knowledge. Feels like something I’ve known for thirty years, at least.
Maybe I just have a knack for the extremely obvious.
Seems clever and feasible to me. I suppose you’d need background checks on the passenger-couriers, but after that small hurdle, unless it’s an urgent package like a pizza, transit riders could get anything across any city in an hour or so.
Where do I sign up?
There’s a lot of smarts in what you’re saying, thanks.
I don’t have any science to cite, but I’ve certainly known LOTS of people who attend church more for the socializing than any spiritual reason.
Hell, I’m basically anti-social, but give me a ‘club’ to attend once weekly and listen to a mini TED-talk and then chat with like-minded people afterwards, and I might be there.
What utter bullshit. The Catholic Church is one of the richest entities on this planet, but we’ll let them pretend their San Francisco branch is a separate entity, so the church can get away with centuries of kiddie-diddling and continue kiddie-diddling until the Rapture.
“It’s a racism crisis,” my pimply ass. Don’t white and Asian Muslims read the same Koran?
Kinda pointless pretending logic is involved, when dealing with the indoctrinated.
A novel approach. It would slow me down, certainly, if I was driving there, or walking.
Wow, you are the correct person to be a moderater, and I hope your patience holds out. OP has provided an incomprehensible picture with a nonsensical headline, and your response is so very polite. Me, I’d just roll my eyes and scroll away.
I’m from Reddit, so I have to add: I’m serious, not joking.
We are adults here…
Hey, watch it with the insults.
To improve your Lemmy home page, let’s fight climate change and end corporations’ ownership of Congress and America.
Climate change is largely America’s fault, so Kerry’s statement seems asinine to me, and quickly erases the already low levels of respect I’ve had for him.
It’s kinda funny, and I laughed.
It’s also shit journalism — the article doesn’t say what McDonald’s posted this sign or enacted this policy. Maybe some McDonald’s did, but when there’s no attempt at sniffing out a who - what - where - why - when, it’s piffle.
Any schmoe anywhere could’ve made the sign using Microsoft Paint.
The article is a laugh, but it isn’t news until someone says where it happened…
You’re now banned.
