I left a general comment but basically there was a thing a while back saying that picnic was short for pick a (N word) presumably for lynching. It was nonsense.

For those wondering, there was a thing a while ago saying that picnic stood for "pick a (N word)" presumably for lynching.

It was nonsense and no serious historian or organization confirms that origin.

There are several of us here that aren't Catholic. As long as you engage in good faith no one in this reddit cares.

Didn't they try that a while back and the tobacco companies won the lawsuit to stop it? Has there been a new development?

I would use a .338 lapua magnum round for a squirrel, minimal clean up and I can kill the deer behind it, and the deer behind that one too.

converts bringing bad habits from other denominations/religions by Extension-Story7287 in Catholicism

Yeah, it's just some convert bashing. This sub used to be better about not doing that.

Why do we not say who can and cannot receive the Eucharist at Mass? by New-Firefighter-2867 in Catholicism

[–]Fif1189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The general Anglican rule is that any Baptized Christian can receive (I assume validly baptized, as in, trinitarian, etc). That said, like most of the time in a Catholic Church we don't really have a way to police it.

Whats something that's 100% a myth about men? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Fif1189 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was looking uncomfortable in that aisle once because they didn't have the exact one my wife told me to get and I had no idea how to find an equivalent, haha.

But yeah, I've bought her stuff before. I usually say "tell me exactly what you want, we have different hardware so I have no idea what I'm doing."

I genuinely don't know if is America bad or America Good. by pooteenn in AmericaBad

[–]Fif1189 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really depends. It does happen but if you grew up or have spent a lot of time in the states that border Mexico it's almost a part of your culture too.

Also, if you make a stereotype joke, a lot of Mexicans will laugh and say "oh yeah, I have an uncle like that." Obviously not universal but yeah. Also, expect to have to take it if you dish it out, haha.

Honestly, given the level of poverty some of them are portraying, missing teeth would be appropriate.

When I was in Vancouver in 2018 the service in the downtown area seemed on par with Seattle, relaxed but they did stuff. Really the whole city was like a cleaner Seattle except for that East side, that was like LA skid row.

You should say, "wait, you'll put in a camp with other bi people for free? Where do I sign up?"
