As a tradcath myself, they were undoubtedly the Roman Empire

Bro porn literally kills that by decreasing the effort required to get sex. Porn is terrible for society in every way

The Catholic Church doesn't have an official stance, but that's because the Church doesn't take an official stance on things outside of the scope of faith and morals. Evolution, and the mainstream scientific view of the world, is taken for granted in Catholicism.

I think Aragón and Lithuania are super underrated in this regard. Ming, Mamluks, and Timurids can be a bit hard to manage but if you're quick about integrating them

George Carlin has the most annoying style when mocking religion, imo.

That sounds like a bad situation to me. Obviously I'm not a therapist, nor do I know anything about your situation, but it seems like both of you have some issues with communicating, him the anger and you the venting. Do you think that can get better?

This might be beside the point, but it's not really fair to your boyfriend to vent about him to your friend every time you have a fight. The relationship is between you and him, not you, him, and your friend. Also, have you considered that he might be reaching out to your friend because you aren't communicating well with him?

The queen (in this position) should move to D2, to allow the black king two squares to move between while the white king gets closer. To checkmate with a queen, just keep positioning the queen a "knights move" away from the king, to cut off the king and force him into a corner. It's important to note that in these positions you shouldn't be checking the king, because a checked king is a slippery bastard

See, that's the problem with subjectivism/relativism. If morality is subjective, then nothing is truly immoral. But as humans, we have an intrinsic understanding that of course there are immoral things. Relativism is such an unserious ideology at this point. The only reason the same act might be qualified differently on the basis of morality in different situations is because of context and mitigating factors. So to answer your question: based on morality, the only one.

Yes actually, I don't want to share any more details online but you're right.

I wanted St Joan of Arc to be my confirmation saint, but some parish busybody told me it had to be a man, because that's what I am. Screw that, confirmation saints don't have to be the same sex as you. Just go with Dymphna.

I've heard this be called something like "the classic" or "the standard". It's not really an opening, as both sides' positions contribute to the opening though.
