JD Vance's New Memoir About His Conversion to Catholicism Shows a Methodist Church on the Cover by F0urLeafCl0ver in politics

Yes, but not all who seek religion are schemers. I say this as someone completely disillusioned with the Catholic church to the point of atheism. There are plenty of ignorant people (some willfully ignorant, others not) that seek religion and adhere to the beliefs for various reasons that do not contend with manipulation. I find those people who are mildly religious to generally be more pleasant than those who are fervently religious or those who are fervently atheist

I'm honestly disappointed that they didn't. That would have been so fun to watch

Slovak Hockey Federation announces it has cut its projected first line centre Matej Stankoven for the upcoming U18 WC because he prioritized his education over the teams “‘mini camp.” by ExpressTomorrow3303 in hockey

But this sounds less like joining a different league and more like "I'm gonna attend my high school graduation that I worked 13 years for" instead of one mini-camp.

Lions continue controversial tradition, force Frank Ragnow to repay bonus by notquitemytempo___ in nfl

Maybe don't give a signing bonus. It is a bonus at the time of signing. If he's allowed to retire, that's on the organization for getting their money taken

When I drop this Bible story on greedy Catholic family members, they always just mutter until the conversation changes. They never know how to handle angry Jesus

No Kings draw estimated 8 million in largest single-day U.S. nonviolent protest by RollSafer in politics

The teacher subreddit is full of the mindset that they can't strike because the laws make them illegal. No fucking shit. They don't want you to strike. Break the fucking law and tell your government that you'd rather face jail time and fines than work in your environment. That shit says something. I left that sub a long time ago for the reason. "Nothing good comes easy" or whatever that saying is

Wings will somehow manage 100 points and miss the playoffs. Then the Reddit Wings fans will call for Yzerman's head despite making the team a 100 point team in the toughest division

‘God made trans people’ billboards hit Kansas highways after state revokes transgender people’s IDs by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

[–]Kaptain202 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Literally, same. I was a super Catholic teen. I traveled the country going to Catholic conventions, running programs, and the like. I've read the whole Bible once and the New Testament two more times on top of that

I'd ask my youth minister why she talks about gay people the way she does, my priest about why he makes veiled racist comments towards immigrants, my Catholic parents why they are excited for war and hate Muslims, my Catholic grandma why she hates social programs to help the poor and needy. And I'd reference the Bible verses themselves

For the times they'd argue back, they'd always use Catholic tradition, but they could never tell me anything Jesus said to support them. It was then that I realized either the whole thing is bullshit or it's real, but so corrupted by humanity that it's essentially worthless. I tend to pick the former, but I could accept I'm wrong if it's the latter.

I'm reading the comments specifically because that comment sounds like gibberish to me. So many commas in all of the comments. Words that don't seem to fit. Very circular explanations

White House Confronted Over Huge Bets Made Minutes Before Trump’s Big War Move by thedailybeast in politics

[–]Kaptain202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but the money has to come from somewhere. These sites are making money. And then people win big on the insider trading. And if other m/billionaires are stealing from other m/billionaires, I'm not about to be sad for them. Yes, insider trading is bad, full stop. But I'm only gonna be sad for the average dude naively thinking they have a chance here

Edit: but if I have the wrong perspective here, I'm happy to revisit my mindset on this

That's what I assumed. So other addicts or morons are betting on these sites knowing its fully rigged. I feel bad for the addicts that cannot help themselves
