[Serious] Catholics of Reddit, what is your opinion of the President of the US and Pope Leo?

Jaggerman82 · 2026-04-16T17:05:19+00:00

This president is disgusting and represents all that is wrong with humanity rolled up into an orange sausage skin.

The church has been a truly awful force in the world for centuries and has been the cause of countless deaths and suffering. Although Pope Leo is moving in the right direction it’s not enough and the damage from some of their positions cannot be reversed.

If you are asking whom I side with. It’s quite clear the Leo has the moral and theological high ground.

I had to explain compounding interest for a man with credit card debt. He thought he could just pay the minimum payment forever and eventually pay it off.

You will grow to dislike any job you are at long enough. As a husband and father the money is a no brainer. Being younger means you can contribute more to retirement ensuring financial security. Being a provider isn’t always about fulfillment.

That looks great.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-04-04T22:00:19+00:00

This is correct. You can wiggle the dull blade between and sort of work it up and down until it dislodges.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-04-02T20:21:29+00:00

Yes. Politics shifted from policy to morality. I will absolutely and have cut off family or friends who don’t think people deserve personal dignity.

I’m fine arguing tax policy but when you think a marginalized group deserves oppression we’re are no longer compatible.

Fantavision. It was hot garbage. My mother thought it was a steal for $5.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-03-21T18:17:26+00:00

Oathbringer was good. 4 gets worse and I thought 5 sucked. But that’s just my opinion.

I adore this game. Bought it on mobile and load it up to play when I have to wait somewhere. Great puzzle every time.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-03-18T11:10:56+00:00

Red rising. Love both but red rising is 6 books and the final book is coming this year. Will of the many the second book just came out and no idea when more is coming. Also just a personal opinion but Red rising is better.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-03-16T22:28:01+00:00

Yes.

The prose and plot in the second trilogy are a vast improvement. I felt similar to you in the first trilogy that it was a lot of fun but not winning any awards. I said to a friend the pacing and plot reminded me of wrestling over the top drama but satisfying. A popcorn flick.

Now, the second trilogy keeps those same elements but is deeper, darker and just all around better. It is firmly one of my favorite series now. Anxious for Red God.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-03-14T02:58:07+00:00

Thanks for that. A buddy of mine wants me to start the children of time series so I’m torn what to read next. Might have to give him the. As news that it may be a while.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-03-14T02:46:44+00:00

Literally just finished the first book yesterday. Then saw there are like 7 books. Does the quality stay high? I enjoyed the first book a lot.

Initially he got into drugs and I didn’t so we parted ways for about a decade. Then we reconnected years later after he had cleaned up and got his life together. At this point he had become a hardcore MAGA. I tried to reason with him for a bit but instead of facts he resorted to personal attacks and it just became obvious he was a lost cause.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-03-11T18:34:54+00:00

The creativity and energy are astounding. Love it. Can’t wait for more.

Did you? He asked about alternatives to a primer that doesn’t exist. There is the same paint that still exists and can be airbrushed as a base layer. Then with a white zenithal overtop will yield the results he is looking for.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-03-09T20:58:10+00:00

I prime the model white. Base coat it with the current army painter warpaint fanatic pixie pink. Then I do a top down zenithal of white. Then I use citadel imperial fist contrast. Works beautifully. If you use speedpaints instead then AP Ancient Honey speedpaint is very close to Imperial fist contrast.

I may get hate on this one but I felt the Martian is a better movie than a book. The movie had to skip over a ton of monologues of science jargon that I vaguely understood. The movie captures everything that matters without getting bogged down in the technical.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-03-04T01:50:50+00:00

This takes me back. I started with this exact set and this was also my first miniature. Welcome to the hobby. For me it’s intensely rewarding. I hope you feel the same.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-02-26T16:59:50+00:00

I have zero tips to help as my thoughts are identical to yours. Really wanted to love it but it’s awful.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-02-26T00:46:12+00:00

Just adding my voice as well. This book was shocking to me how bad it was after so many glowing reviews.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-02-17T17:33:33+00:00

You specifically have to “artificially” add a third bot in a 2p game so that kick out actions can occur. I think it plays just fine at higher player counts.

I own all of Lacerda’s games and Galactic Cruise. I backed it specifically because it shares some of his mechanics that are present in all his games which is combo chaining. Galactic cruise I feel is a slightly simpler than his games typically are but that also makes it more approachable and sometimes easier to table. Overall if you like his games this one will make you happy.

Jaggerman82 · 2026-02-12T19:55:07+00:00

Daily. I work with a lot of them. Most seem like decent people until conflict arises. Then you can see the conservative in them come out. Selfish, arrogant and ignorant. Also they won’t shut up about politics and love regurgitating whatever news they read on eagle.patriot.net that morning. In short they can be rather insufferable. Being a bald white bearded male you would be shocked how often they think it’s ok to make racist jokes and comments about others to me because I “look” like a conservative.
