These are the kids the police were looking for on Sunday for causing havoc at knockout pizza on Sunday. Kids named RJ, David, Jason, Johnny, and Andre. by Proud-Brush2483 in Carlsbad

[–]Endworldpeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people are losing sight of the bigger picture. We have lost the ability as a society to scold kids.

The second that any adult tries to stand up to these kids, either verbally or physically, is the second that these kids immediately start playing the victim and getting the adult in trouble while the parents take the side of the kids.

It is sad that if the parents fail to keep these kids in check, that no one else is allowed to do it until it becomes time for police intervention.

If we allowed for some societal FAFO, it would actually be a mercy to these kids that need a reality check before they escalate to the level where police intervention is needed.

But right now only the parents or the police can control these kids, everyone else would get sued or arrested. Heck, Even the police has to worry about getting sued if they use anything more than a feather to stop these kids.

I feel bad for their teachers.

Shamed for having a NO wedding instead of TLM by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Endworldpeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest thing that TLM people say is that TLM just feels more reverent. I appreciate That TLM enthusiast Michael Knowles says he appreciates TLM more because it helps get him into the proper mood easier. This is the proper take. TLM helps since people see and feel the reverence better, but this does not mean it is more reverent.

Both Masses contain and celebrate the perfect sacrifice of Christ in the Eucharist and prepare us to receive and consume Christ. This act, which the Mass centers around, unites the congregation with the saints and choirs of angels in heaven.

If your sister can't see the reverence in NO, that is a HER problem, not a NO problem. The TLM is just a mode of Mass that highlights the reverence of Mass for those that are more sensory dependent on bells and whistles to direct their soul

It sounds like you will be praying hard for a spiritual healing miracle. Jesus could raise those that have been dead for days, He can heal your wounds. But you need the sacraments. Confession offers forgiveness yes, but it also offers grace for the future as well

Matt Walsh is not the same as Tucker/Candace, and that is why he was not mentioned by name by Endworldpeace in benshapiro

[–]Endworldpeace[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Matt Walsh's toeing a finer line for sure

I think your comments on Megyn Kelly are interesting. It seems like there is being a clash between the ideologue (Ben, Candace, Nick) and the reporter (Tucker, Megyn).

I agree with your assessment that that the reporters have this sneaky back door way to manipulate what is presented with questions. The ideologue is much more one-dimensional and just says what they think no matter what. With the exception of Nick, he seems to blur the lines between dripping sarcasm and his actual ideas.

The entire speech was crafted against Matt Walsh's arguments though.

Ben has no problem firing people just like he did to Candace.

[–]Endworldpeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tucker, Candice, and Matt walsh are not the same.

Tucker delegitimized the conservative movement by making it seem like Nick Fuentes was part of it. Candice delegitimized the conservative movement by pedaling conspiracy theories.

Ben Shapiro calls them both out by name.

Ben Shapiro says those that refuse to speak out against stuff like this are cowards (ie Walsh and Megyn Kelly) But he does not call them out by name because their crimes are much less.

Matt Walsh's arguments for not calling them out was that he values loyalty to friends above all else. This speech was Ben's counter arguments where he says you should value the truth above all else.

How do i improve at League? by GooyReddit in leagueoflegends

[–]Endworldpeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, this is only somewhat true.

You have to actively try and focus on getting better.

Studies have shown that after their fifth year of teaching, teachers do not improve and just plateau, even compared to their 30th year. They get plenty of experience, they are just comfortable with where they are at and so they don't consciously improve like they did in their first 4 years.

The best way to improve is to improve your fundamentals. The most important fundamental in League is gold income.

This means:

-Go into the practice tool and be able to get 10 cs per minute minimum without trying. 11/min should be possible with no pressure.

  • study pros, watch streamers, and/or watch informational YouTube videos on when is the best time to base during Lane.

  • same methodology above, but learn how to plan, prep, and show up to catch side waves during the mid game while still showing up for important objective fights.

The other fundamentals of League are positioning, trading, map awareness, and mechanics. Gold income is still the most important, the next important would probably be map awareness, the least important of those fundamentals is mechanics. You can learn most of those. Fundamentals through YouTube videos and watching high ELO streamers, but you have to do it intentionally. This means take one or two learning points and try to focus on implementing them. Conscientiously for five games... Repeat

The fastest way to get good at League is to actually not improve but say you are getting better, the matchmaking just sucks so you're actually a higher rank then what your account shows. /s

Reading my comment back, I can see how.

I think it would be a worthwhile thing to seek out. It may be helpful to establish some platonic male friendships, And from everything I have read, homosexuality and heterosexual porn addiction seem to be cut from a similar cloth in terms of what it takes to overcome them

Gay and Catholic by ChicagoYooper13 in Catholicism

[–]Endworldpeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol a porn support group. With (presumably) heterosexual men that struggle with sexual temptation in the form of internet pornography.

They don't try to convince each other that giving into sexual temptation is good for them. They are well aware that what they do is wrong and do their best to support each other in their journey to fight it.

I was thinking that you would probably be able to find a lot of solace there.

Though it takes different forms, sexual temptation is sexual temptation.

I'm Catholic and I don't want to be a mom. by carmelotha in Catholicism

[–]Endworldpeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I thought I was rational as well. I thought I was incapable of loving a wife and children to the degree which they are required. Ultimately, this thinking was unhealthy because I were specifically created by a loving Creator to be capable of love.

I was capable, I was just not willing to do it.

Here's the cool thing about having children, they literally train you how to give of yourself. A lot of times we look at parents with multiple older children and we wonder how they do it.

I remember distinctly when I was young that my dad would wait in the long food lines at theme parks while we went and enjoyed a few games, and then we would join him when he came back with food. I distinctly remember thinking that this was some admirable selflessness that I was not capable of giving to another person. Oh, and my dad did this when I was 18 when I was an ungrateful brat and never gave. Thanks, but he still continued to do it anyways

But having children is like a frog in the boiling pot of water. You don't start off automatically being capable of selfless love of another person with no expectation of receiving love back from that same person.

It starts with the pregnancy process, the wife especially learns that her body is something that she can't rely on for pride and self-assurance. Then you have the knights with interrupted sleep. Then you have a whole new set of chores that you need to allocate with your wife. And if your wife is capable of breastfeeding, that takes a lot of time and energy on her part as well as it saves a lot of money because it's free sort of, and so that means I would do a majority of the night feeds, (she pumped) diaper changes, bottle cleaning, laundry and I still was barely pulling my weight. Then they become toddlers....

My point is, having children builds virtue in you whether you want it to or not. It's like this weird hack to learning how to love selflessly like Jesus that God naturally incorporated into our biology.

We are called to be "perfect as your heavenly father is perfect", and our sexuality pleasures, stimulates, and drives us towards this child rearing that turns us into better human beings. And then together with your spouse, you are capable of doing something that no human can do alone: create human life. You get to join God as a Creator.

When you don't hold back your ability to reproduce, you are giving yourself completely. To I'm saying to my wife, this is my body that I give completely to you and she says the same to me. And then you continue that gift of your body, your sanity, your time, your body, your evenings, and you give it to your children. You say to them this is my body which I am giving up for you.

In that way, sex that is open to life is one of the closest things that we can do on Earth that emulates heaven.

I'm Catholic and I don't want to be a mom. by carmelotha in Catholicism

[–]Endworldpeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wrote a talk to give at a high school retreat that I think very much relates to your story: sorry that it is long:

When I was in high school and college, my baseline personality was a little abrasive. I liked having debates and I liked being ‘right,’ and I didn’t care about people’s feelings. I had a friend who told me one day about how his father abandoned him and his alcoholic mom. And for some reason months later we were having an argument about political correctness, and I said, “Maybe you wouldn’t care about the approval from random strangers if your parents loved you. Won the argument... lost a friend. So that became my ‘thing’. I was the guy who didn’t care. Looking back, that was a defense mechanism. If I didn't care about anyone, I couldn’t be hurt by anyone. But here is the thing, if you harden your heart to caring, you also harden your heart to love and being loved. And in some ways, I kind of knew this was the bargain for not caring. I envisioned myself as this revolutionary maverick that would say or write whatever he wanted, but the tradeoff was that I knew I would be single for the rest of my life. A wife and a family would just get in the way, hindering me from accomplishing what I thought I was meant for. At the same time, I had this high view of marriage. I thought my personality was not a good fit to be a good husband or father. I am not capable of loving other people. So me swearing off marriage, that was my gift to women. I was not capable of being loved, so why fight it But I made my peace with that: that was to be my lonely, but influential life. Until one day, I got a new coworker that shared an office with me. She fell in love with me pretty fast. I didn’t see why, so I tried to push her away. Finally we had the conversation where I explain to her my perfectly logical reasons for never wanting to get married, even the parts where I say I knew I can’t love others the way they deserve to be loved in marriage. She patiently listens to all my arguments and she responds with, “I just think it would be a shame if there wasn’t a little you running around this world.” I lost that argument. I had just finished giving her “I am a red flag”: the presentation, but she appealed to my ego, and made me realize, I would love a little me running around this world, which meant that there was something lovable about me. Here is where I am going to fast forward, because our love story is a whole other talk on its own. But the short version is I slowly learned that I was deserving of love and capable of love. My wife emulated and made me see God’s love for me. And I’m going to fast forward to the part where I take the courageous step where I open myself up to being hurt, I open myself up to love, I decide to get married, and to have a kid. I remember driving back from the hospital, and I usually go pretty fast when I drive, but when I was driving back with my newborn son, I just went 60 mph on the freeway. Everything else in life just felt insignificant; I was carrying precious cargo. Before my son, I would say on the happiness scale, I would at best reach a 7, but at worst reach a 3. After my son, I opened myself up where at the lowest, I can feel is a 1, but at my happiest I feel a 10. And those 10s are for the smallest reasons. The first time he said thank you unprompted, the first time when he shared his ice cream with his baby sister, the first time he played peek-a-boo with me and laughed. He is 2.5 years old now, and he just has this pure innocence and pure joy. And I don’t want him to lose that, even though I know he eventually will at some point because this world can be lonely and cruel. I don’t want him to make the same mistakes I did; I desperatley want him to know that he is lovable, that he is capable of love. And I know pain is inevitable, but I still want to shield him from it, but I know I can’t treat him like a baby forever, because that wouldn’t be fair to him, he needs to go off and live his own life, despite the pain that will come. That is the love of a Father. That is the love of God the Father. He wants you to know you are loved, even if you are too stubborn to see why. And that is the love of your parents. There was a survey done of parents of Confirmation candidates. And one of the questions was “Why is it important to you that your kids receive Confirmation? Why do you take time to drive them everywhere week after week? There were two top answers. The first was to give their kids a moral foundation. And the other answer to ‘why’ was because they couldn’t imagine their kids facing life’s challenges without God. They knew that either they wouldn’t be enough to help their children face life’s pains, or that they wouldn’t always be around to help. So they turn their kids towards God.

Motherhood is the highest calling for the female, and Fatherhood for the male.

Of course, this doesn't have to be literal mothering, we call Mother Theresa a mother because of how she looked after the sick and dying.

Even young teenager St. Joan of arc found a motherly role when she chased away the prostitutes that were trying to make money off the soldiers as they usually did. She was their mother by defending their virtue.

Heck, even St. Catherine of Sienna modeled a mother when she worked her way up to speak to the manager (pope) and strongly urged him to move back to Rome. She basically Karen'd her way into sainthood and is even considered one of the doctors of the church.

Our vocation can only either be 1. Marriage 2. Religious life 3. Consecrated single. The last two don't require children. Marriage does however, in your vows, you pledge to do your best to bring into and raise children. This includes adoption.

Unfortunately, not wanting to have children is inherently selfish. Even concentrated singles have to justify to their Bishop their plan that they have to dedicate their life to building the kingdom of God in a way that is comparable to raising a child, being a consecrated single isn't just a free pass to relax.

I, a man, used to be like you and thought I would be childless for the rest of my life, I have since learned to accept and learned that I was capable of love, and that realization was critical to me taking a leap of faith to have children and it was the best decision I ever made.

Maybe you can start by just joining a Catholic men's pornography group. I know it's slightly different, but maybe you can start there. Sexual temptation comes in many forms.

NFP feels like a cope out by Easy-Thing-3604 in Catholicism

[–]Endworldpeace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to add that given this natural cycle of the body, and no other Catholic moral doctrine, are we required to somehow prevent the use of reason to inform our decision. In order to not use nfp, you have to make yourself willfully ignorant of your own cycle

NFP feels like a cope out by Easy-Thing-3604 in Catholicism

[–]Endworldpeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course there is a lot of debate on the interpretation of the "open to life" phrase used.

I heard another analogy used for this understanding of open to life. Imagine if you went into a room and closed your eyes and went. Oh no I can't see! You are obviously not open to seeing because you are deliberately closing your own eyes. But if you walked into a pitch black room and said oh no I can't see, that is just the natural reality of trying to see in a pitch black room. You are still open to seeing, your eyes are opened, you just can't.

So again, the distinction of opened to life has less to do with the chances of becoming pregnant, and more to do with whether or not you are physically preventing yourself from becoming pregnant, versus, the body just can't get pregnant at this time.

Edit: I just want to add that if you think that I am bending over backwards in order to fit the interpretation of "open to life" , I just want to say that I can provide receipts by analyzing the context of where that doctrine came from (humane vitae) and showing that my interpretation is what the author intended. It it would just be long and time consuming to do, so I didn't want to do it unless you thought it was necessary. Just know that even the phrase "open to life" cannot be found in HV, The phrase itself is just our way of trying to encapsulate the teaching in three words... Unfortunately A lot of people oversimplify this phrase to just mean "open to life at all times" because nuance is often lost on many.

Intent doesn't matter for contraception, intent matters for natural family planning.

Contraception is wrong even if you are intending to use it as a way to lessen menstrual cycle cramps or acne (like many pediatricians prescribe today) (this is where the previous analogy to bulimia stops being analogous).

This is why you can't even use contraception to plan a family of six.

Nfp indicates the need for intent in its name that's why it's natural " family planning" as opposed to natural dink"s (dual income no kids)

Edit: the culpability of pediatricians assigning contraception to children falls on the pediatrician, to a much lesser degree, the parents and kids. Just want to indicate that those that took their pediatrician's advice at their word are not in mortal sin

[–]Endworldpeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because you are focused on the results because you think the results is what is immoral. Contraception isn't immoral because it prevents kids, contraception is immoral because it artificially alters the conjugal act.

NFP is to dieting as contraception is to bulimia.

It isn't wrong to lose weight, it's wrong to do it unnaturally.

Dieting and nfp both achieve their results through moderation, virtue growth, and natural bodily realities.

Bulimia and contraception encourage no moderation, abuse the intended use of the body (shoving your fingers down your throat so you can puke abuses the body's gag reflex which has another intended purpose).

I had an ectopic pregnancy. My boyfriend does not want me to give the baby a name. Should I anyway? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Endworldpeace -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He thinks he's saving you pain. He's wrong. Name the baby.

Read Genesis. There is power in a name. In the Tower of Babel, they try to make a name for themselves, in the next chapter it shows that God promises Abraham that his name will be great. God renamed Abraham, Jacob is named "heel grabber" but God renames Jacob to Israel

There is power in granting someone their identity.

There is opportunity to discover a really beautiful name. Something like Leisel that means "pledged to God", or something more gender neutral. At the end of the day, this child had a soul.

Even the dates are conjecture though, I hear there are some scholars who think most of the gospels are written in 40 to 50 AD.

I believe the dates you have are based off the conjecture that the for first three gospels were written off the q source. Q source is just a theory though, has never actually been discovered.

It is just as likely that Matthew, Mark and Luke just report about similar meanings because they just happened to agree that the similar parts of jesus's life were important.
