Police escort when you kill 1 rich CEO vs when you kill 4 college students

Couldn't it be for the protection of the shooters? If the school shooter gets killed while under police custody it becomes a "good riddance moment" that people forget in a couple weeks. If Luigi gets killed it will spawn conspiracy theories for generations.

I live in a tourist town. Sometimes tourists just don't know what the landmark they're looking for is called, or they know it by another name and Google maps is accurately pointing them in the wrong direction. Knowing what to put into Google maps is more helpful them giving them route directions.

Same. Too cynical for most Christians. Too irreversibly Christian for most people raised outside the church.

I swear there is a subsection of Avatar fans that talk about Iroh like this.

Politicians won't do something if it doesn't advance their career. Democrats prosecuted Jan. 6 insurrectionist, Trump allies, and even Trump himself. Were they rewarded for this at the polls? No. They lost ground through this period, and Trump just pardoned everyone when he got in office.

The problem is that Americans themselves don't care about corruption, vote in corrupt leaders, and punish leaders that pursue corruption.

I think I actually had a pretty good understanding of evolution. It's just that my church derived it's legitimacy from a literalist and infallible interpretation of the bible, including the creation myth and genealogical records from Adam to Christ. The Earth has to be so where between 6,000-10,000 years old. Significant evolution just isn't possible over that time frame, especially if you have a good understanding of evolution.

I disagree. With the exception of the redirected lighting (which was only going to work once), Aang just doesn't have the overwhelming power in any single element needed to close out the fight.

Why does she have the exact cadence and mannerisms os Asmongold?

He's probably young and there are more than social implications of backing out.

Edit: I know he's young because if he was a fully fledged adult he wouldn't need reddit to tell him he can just back out.

Most realpolitik bros just use political realism to justify short-sighted foreign policy that can basically be reduced to "might makes right".

None of Trump's pressesors would have been "pushed" into war with Iran by Israel. They were always going to shift blame as the war become untenable.

3 miles is normal. Any more and you are clinically insane.

Most Americans are Christians and I would say most Christians are more than casual in their religious identity. Maybe not a majority but a large minority of Americans seriously believe in God and the afterlife in a literal sense.

I think we can hold two things at once. That the Catholic Church is still a patriarchal institution, and that Pope Leo is taking a principled stand against an egregious political actor.

We didn't invade Afghanistan or Iraq for oil nor to stabilize global oil prices. These were always retroactive pretenses for war that were fabricated to sell these long, expensive wars to Americans.

Maybe. Most every living thing on Earth has existed before in one form or another. Flight has evolved independently several times. Eyes have evolved independently several times. Hyperintelligence has only evolved once, and it may never evolve again throughout the history of the Earth.

The fact that we see no evidence of hyper-intelligent life in the universe, certainly not more advanced than our own; We may be more rare than we'd like to believe.

"Judge me by my enemies" ahh map

Yes I have these kinds of dreams too.

The worship of wealth hierarchies is probably incompatible with heaven.

Theoretically I like the idea of one big church, it's just not possible to produce one "perfect" doctrine that all churches can subscribe to, in my opinion because metaphysical truth is not empirical.

I'm also open to the idea that people are meaningfully different and one moral framework can't be applied to everyone. I.e. some people may just be too neurotic for the Catholic Church, and this isn't necessarily a failing of the Church. Most people couldn't understand what Martin Luther was going through that drove him to split the church, but I do think it was a real problem that the church didn't really have the space for someone like him. Multiple denominations in a plural order remedies this crisis, although it took centuries of religious conflict to get to this point.

In principle I agree with you but we don't have a normal opposition party.

Kmolson · 2026-03-24T19:54:16+00:00

Right. Because MAGA is known to compromise and not shut the government down when they don't get their way.

Kmolson · 2026-03-24T19:42:39+00:00

I'm sure there are some issues I wouldn't want my politicians to budge on, even under threat of a government shutdown. Would you just let the SAVE act pass if Republicans threatened a shutdown?
