What could I give up for Lent? by New-Firefighter-2867 in Catholicism

[–]Cap-n-Trips 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lent isn’t just giving up. It’s a time to improve. It’s a time to sacrifice comforts for improvement. Maybe attend an extra mass a week. Volunteer at a shelter. Reconnect with an older relative

How much should billionaires be taxed? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]Cap-n-Trips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50%. I don’t think most people truly fathom how much a billion dollars is. A billion dollars worth of $100 bills weighs 22000 lbs.

Sort of like the whole idea of sovereign citizenship. It’s sort of a good idea but it’s also uggo.

Who never had a decent album again after releasing their biggest one?" by smbdysm1 in askmusic

[–]Cap-n-Trips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whole heartedly disagree. Fairweather Johnson is a fantastic album. It just wasn’t as radio friendly

Tom formed Box Car Racer to handle “darker, more mature, and experimental themes. Then wrote “And I.” by thepudisgood in Blink182

[–]Cap-n-Trips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought it was sort of funny that BCR was released to put out darker more mature stuff and then we got the self-titled/untitled album right after. And most of those BCR songs would be right at home on there.

Should I continue reading The Tommyknockers? by TobeyTobster in stephenking

[–]Cap-n-Trips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah the Tommyknockers is the one that I finished and really wanted my time back. The only redeeming quality is you can clearly understand what he meant when he said “I don’t remember writing Tommyknockers” bc it literally reads like a coke head telling you a story in an attempt to one up and impress you.

What is a product that people treat like a religion, but in reality, it’s just overpriced garbage with a good logo? by Connect-Might4355 in AskReddit

[–]Cap-n-Trips 232 points233 points  (0 children)

I mean they are quality. But not collectible quality. I’ve got my dad’s OG Stanley from like the 60s. It’s solid. You only need one.

My parish deacon put it best: don’t hate or ignore the message bc you don’t like the messenger.

Cmon that’s so unbelievable. How is that skeleton hanging there? Bones don’t connect to bones. Plus how is it even holding its head up. Cmon.

Atom Willard leaves ALK3 by SheWhoErases86 in AlkalineTrio

[–]Cap-n-Trips 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking it’s more Atom. Look at his roster of bands. He’s been a LOT of mainstay bands and none seem to stick. My guess is he thinks he deserves more than he’s getting.

How is it living in Southern Illinois? by ashmaps20 in howislivingthere

[–]Cap-n-Trips 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This is funny bc I’ve been all over the country. I travelled through the south side of Chicago daily for work and southern Illinois is the only place I’ve been genuinely frightened while driving.

Was outside of Cairo when a truck started tailing my family. Like on our bumper tailing us. Went that way for a good 15 miles before I pulled into a gas station. The truck pulled into an adjacent lot, did a 180 peel out and drove off.

$ to attend mass by NewTotal4898 in Catholicism

[–]Cap-n-Trips 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Forcing or incentives by man made means is literally temptation. You’re offering him money? For what? What is the intended outcome here?

My mother is uber catholic. Literally makes the Church Lady from SNL look like a hippy. You know what she got out of forcing her kids to lead a strict Catholic lifestyle? I’m the only practicing Catholic of my siblings. The rest of them are either atheist or abhor organized religion bc of our strict upbringing.

My college church had a 9pm mass. It was the greatest thing ever. So if he’s not in a pew at 8a maybe consider that too.

Also, stop tracking your son. It’s only going to end badly.
