  • I’m guessing it’s straight into the military

  • I had a gf who considered herself Christian. Not someone who talked about it a lot, but I guess she has some belief. I have a fairly negative view of organized religion in general. She really wanted to start going to church and I was um, wow, sounds horrible. She looked around found a church with surprisingly cool people - not at all bible thumpers, or full of pretentious nonsense, hell and brimstone, none of that. They support LGBTQ, operated a homeless shelter, gave sermons about pro-abortion rights and astronomy. I was pleasantly surprised. Still I ended up determining that I didn't want to wake up at 7:30 each Sunday to go there. I figured out that she viewed church more as a social club and some sort of tradition from her family.

    If it was someone drastically different, like talking constantly about reading the bible and telling me I had to convert and basing half their life around it, absolutely not. I not only am not interested myself but I think it would illustrate some negative aspects of their personality that I don't want to be around. I had a gf who owned a retail store and people would come in and tell her ridiculous stories about Jesus healing people when they were missionaries in Africa. Later she'd tell me and ask "Do you think that was true? Jesus really DID THAT?" and I'd have to be um... no. That lady sounds like a liar or a psycho, sorry. Not great for a relationship. It turned out it was just some feel-good thing for her. She didn't read the bible or really know anything about scripture. Just thinking "magic jesus loves me" made her feel good. I'm only really vaguely religious but still I can't respect that.

  • Cream cheese. Hot sauce. Even just salt

  • It’s irritating that YT added that. The vast majority of people have no idea, of course.

  • Compared to how long ago? I haven’t noticed any changes.

  • We get a similar dynamic in the US media, even supposed 'liberal' media. People blame Democrats for the awful things republicans do because they didn't stop them. Republicans are rarely blamed for being the ones who wanted to do the horrible things in the first place. Definitely a victim blaming, absuive narcissist dynamic.

  • According to republicans, Ukraine doing anything other than bending over and taking it is illegitimate and totally their fault. Makes sense for a party who elected Trump twice.

  • He didn't bother putting his hand on the Bible. Not that I care, but you'd think his "omg christian patriot doggy mommy" followers would say something.

  • Trump did an interview with Goldberg? After the Signal thing? I'm surprised. Maybe he doesn't remember.

  • “I love my Hispanics!”

  • Sure, he's done. He destroyed agencies which regulate him or against which he had a grudge, fucked up regulation and the social safety net, arranged other things to make rich people money, compromised personal data for basically everyone and helped his buddy Putin. Why stick around?

  • Reminds me of the Tsunami signs in the PNW

  • Wow, the pi constant naming inconsistency is terrible.

  • Oh, I see. Just an idea. I was wondering if maybe they'd block or redirect you.

  • The prices vary based on how much usable meat there is in the cut vs. bones, and how much work went into cutting it. Wings are mainly bones for instance. It can also be how fast it sells, so the risk the packages will spoil before they're sold and what quantities they order or produce it in.

  • You can go to grocery store sites and set your location to a specific store, and look up items.

    Anyway I looked it up at my local Walmart (Arizona, US) and boneless breasts are $2.69 a lb, boneless skinless thighs, 3.49, and wings, $1.19 a lb. Ten lbs of chicken leg quarters, $6.50. So it doesn't seem to have gone up a lot.

  • Ha. There are people who don't know about ethernet cables?
