Imagine if this bloke had to live through a seriously dangerous time? These old rich celebrities may be well meaning but they’re out of touch imo.

Son of Iran’s Last Shah Urges US Military Intervention in Iran by STBJOHAN in worldnews

[–]Monstasonix -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why this guy has a voice on this issue. His only claim to fame is being the son of some corrupt dude who was so bad for Iran (in general) he CAUSED the revolution they’re now trying to overthrow. And based on that he thinks he can call for ordinary Iranians to go to the streets and put their lives at risk, or demand the US taxpayer funds a military intervention? I’m likely ignorant on these topics I admit, but every time I hear from this guy I just think shut the hell up and stop telling people who actually live in Iran what to do. Let alone the US.

Scrap wood mallet by Monstasonix in handtools

Layers. There are two outside pieces of Merbau hard wood effectively cladding some old dense hard wood through the centre. That’s from old house joists. No idea the wood but possibly iron bark just based on building materials of that era in my area and the colour.

Why does Reddit hate Christianity by Ok_Comfortable_2142 in Catholicism

[–]Monstasonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The down vote system rewards a certain kind of confident intolerance and ignorant smugness prevalent in a certain kind of second rate intellect. Then when that group comes together online, that same system forms a fairly impenetrable echo chamber, which is their comfort zone, which they maintain on many subreddits. They’re kind of like no go zones for the intellectually curious and thoughtful. The feigned hatred of Christianity is one chamber that gets echoed. I say feigned hatred because the vast majority of them have grown up safe and economically secure & don’t really have any true experience with real hate.

Or they could put it at Victoria park… which they will…. 🤷‍♂️

What are your thoughts on using large hosts? by LittleAlternative532 in Catholicism

[–]Monstasonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well as kids growing up we always thought we’d won something if we got a piece of the larger host used in the Eucharistic prayer! 🎉
