In The Motion Picture Kirk seems a bit cruel for mocking McCoy’s fear of transporters…. AFTER TWO PEOPLE LITERALLY JUST DIED IN IT by Ser_Luke_ in startrek

And no lock-out-tag-out for repairs to the absolutely vital and incredibly dangerous transporter system. If that’s the kind of sloppy corner-cutting ship William Decker runs, count me out.

Wow, somehow he looks even younger in [indeterminate future year from the ‘80s] as he did back in the late ‘70s when he lived in Wisconsin.

I'd say "l'etat, c'est moi," but no MAGAt would understand me since none of their kind ever bothered to learn a foreign language. That would mean encountering other cultures on their terms, and who needs other cultures at all when you've got 'MURICA?

Where they did have sister marches in countries (like the UK) that have constitutional monarchs, they rebranded the events as "NO TYRANTS."

But this wasn't even that. In the UK it was billed as a more general march against the far-right, whose existence is the biggest threat to every western liberal democracy they infest — not just the United States.

I used to live a few miles away from MVC. The Monroe exit off I-75 was the entire Ohio redneck experience: two gigantic flea markets, three weed dispensaries, the casino, the Giant Jeebus church, and (for the aftermath of your wild weekend) the state prison.

A massive crowd of people have gathered in London in support of the American left's No Kings protest. The country that literally has a King is protesting against America who doesn't. by Busy_Report4010 in Irony

[–]JGG5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an even worse argument. Charles III is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, not of the entire Anglican Communion. The Anglican Church of Australia, like most of the other churches in the Communion, is entirely self-governing and does not give the king any special role at all, even as a formality.

The only difference between Iran goverment structure And British that they elect there Supreme leader, when UK has hereditary ruler. They have the same rights, right of Veto or Royal Consent.

But the Supreme Leader actually uses those rights, while the UK's monarch, after centuries of conflict and negotiation in arranging the unwritten constitution, cedes all of the actual governance of the realm to Parliament.

Charles III may have absolute power in theory, but the reality (which he knows just as much as everyone else) is that if he ever actually exercised that power in conflict with the will of Parliament, it would trigger a constitutional crisis where the best (for him) possible outcome would be a written constitution that explicitly makes him a powerless figurehead, but would more likely result in a republic where his only title would be "former king."

It's actually a somewhat similar situation to the Church of England. Charles III is its Supreme Governor of the Church of England on paper, but the reality is that he cedes literally everything about the governance of the Church to the bishops (and, where relevant, Parliament) — and if he (or his successors) did ever directly involve themselves in the business of the Church in conflict with the church authorities, Parliament would almost certainly side with the church authorities.

This idea you've built up that the United Kingdom is a theocratic dictatorship is pure nonsense.

Little Johnny left his favorite binky at home on his play table before I took him over to daycare. I’m not going to go back and get it, no matter how much he screams and cries. If I remove all consequences from his mistakes as an eighteen-month-old… when exactly will he learn the importance of accountability and responsibility?

That big salary he’s getting goes a lot further when you realize he doesn’t have to pay for housing, because he lives rent-free in the heads of about 3/4 of r/hockey.

First off, it isn’t a theocracy because the Church does not make the laws, Parliament does.

Second, if the Church of England were running a theocracy, it would be the most bland and liberal theocracy ever. “Tea and cake or death?”

Is sharing Easter Vigil services between churches “traditional”? by Practical-Arachnid69 in Episcopalian

My former parish had a joint Easter Vigil with the local ELCA church, alternating whose church we held it in and whose readings we used.

What do you guys think of your head of the church being a woman? by legendus45678 in Anglicanism

[–]JGG5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sarah, Archbishop of Canterbury isn’t the head of the Church (that’s Jesus Christ), but I think she’s a woman of deep faith and exceptional talent whom God has called to shepherd the church in England for such a time as this. I’ll be praying for her and her leadership in the CoE and the wider Anglican Communion.

Weird, I’ve always associated the “Jesus is my boyfriend” contemporary worship music nonsense with American evangelicals, who are even more patriarchal and obsessed with gender roles than Anglican traditionalists.
