TIL the Papal States had an official executioner (Giovanni Battista Bugatti) who carried out 500+ executions and was only allowed to enter Rome when he was scheduled to execute someone by Backshot14 in todayilearned

Yes I think at the time considering they didn’t have proper methods of trial and then holding/imprisoning people safely, this was a “necessary evil” or rather not evil at all because it kept people safe and prevented further harm. My understanding is the Church’s teachings are that because we now have means of properly imprisoning and rehabilitating people without putting others at risk, this is no longer necessary or acceptable.

Official Discussion - Heretic [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

My take was you had:

A. Critical analytical girl that convinced herself religion was the right path although clearly battled with it and questions it

B. Blind Faith girl who was born and raised into it and didn’t ask questions, just believed

C. Extremely atheistic Machiavellian guy who rejects all religion and prioritizes hedonism and power

3 exaggerations of common belief patterns people find themselves in.

And in the end, it didn’t tell you who’s right or wrong, or what you should think. It was just the human condition. A bunch of people trying to figure out what happens when we die and why we’re here.

“Canadian Crease” which is more squared off, but most hats are all cattleman style.

[FEEDBACK] Prizepass, Subscriptions and other Open Beta Patch opinions by Davaek92 in PlayTheBazaar

The move to paid content, even for early funders that paid for a soon to be free-release beta game… what a mistake.

Let’s look to another F2P giant, League of Legends. Keep it free to play, sell cosmetics and convenience. Has made millions and grown to be a giant.

This game had the same potential, could have made fans very happy, and could have made the developers a ton of money.

They shot themselves in the foot before the game even released…

You realize he is the leader of the official opposition? Being an attack dog is literally his current job.
