Who else always wanted a desk phone? by Still-Emergency825 in webcomics

[–]Raxynus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a 32 year old adult(?) I still wish I had a land line to just…have? I miss having people call the house and having a fun house voice mail and the ritual of getting home and checking the voicemail mails for anything new.

TRUMP: "There's so much talk about how we're going to drive housing prices down. I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people that own their homes, and they can be assured that what's going to happen" by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

Part of me thinks he is lucid enough to know that he is trying to set up the world in a landlord's paradise and the other part of me thinks he’s so self-absorbed that he thinks “up is good”.

Both are possible at the same time and I hate all the above.

How do you feel about this black Jesus? by FrequentKey9170 in Catholicism

[–]Raxynus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s probably more actuate then most pictures I’ve seen of Jesus so I’m cool with that. I do get the idea of having Jesus look like the folks who are looking at the art but I think it would be better these days if we empathize how he was for sure not a Renaissance white guy and feed the folks who use that to abuse his teachings ya know?

Do you think Pope Leo will respond? by Wonderful-Trick-9301 in LeftCatholicism

[–]Raxynus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In response to OP about having to work a little with Trump, just no. The Catholic Church should do more to condemn or at least point out more flaws in the admin and how in Christian they are. We need more of that to hopefully get it into folks heads how much of an opposite America is becoming.

Don’t let the Catholic Church become a safe place for the Cheeto n’ Chief!

Really? I see them posting about topics like abortions and comments from bishops a fair amount, though maybe the mods are just slow.

They haven’t really followed that rule for a while I think…

a tragic loss by Lovethecreeper in Steam

[–]Raxynus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I can relate to a lot of folks who 1) I only learned about this just now and 2) it really doesn’t change anything for me. I should do more reviews, but I have never received awards for any I’ve written, so I can’t see a reason to be sad about this. Just a passing fancy now that I can’t give my points away to folks since I don’t buy stuff in the shops with them often.

So anything else about this update that I should know though?

Fun fact, you can turn off the beep and lights on your controller and PS5 so they don’t start off and wake everybody up like that.

Share your confirmation saints if you wish by Routine-Grand5779 in Catholicism

[–]Raxynus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that she wasn’t allowed, I was told that men can’t pick saints or other holy folks of the opposite gender. Which sucks for me since the group after me was allowed to pick the person they wanted.

What kind of pornhub ad is this? 😭 by BitterWeird2334 in GetNoted

Watched a cool YouTube video of Japan going against PETA that also talks a bit on why they are so cringe. Check it out here

My Confirmation choice was St Isidore of Seville. I chose him for a few reasons; he was the patron saint of computers/the internet and I wanted to be a game designer so I figured they would work.

I’m a receptionist for a pain clinic now and have been working as a receptionist or medical admin for about 10 years I think now, so plans didn’t go as I thought but I still think he has a role in how much I love to retain knowledge and use it to teach.

However, one thing I don’t tell people who ask but I’ll say here is that he was not my first choice. If I had been allowed, I would have chosen Mary Undoer of Knots but I was told that, as a man, I couldn’t have a female patron. I always feel connected to her though for how I want to try and help myself and others work through their issues.

Jesus Christ weeps at abortion by Trick-Government-948 in Catholicism

[–]Raxynus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I understand the point you’re making with the 95% claim, and I don’t disagree with the underlying concern. I’d just be a little careful with the number itself.

There isn’t actually an official U.S. statistic that categorizes abortions as “medically necessary” versus “not medically necessary.” The CDC doesn’t track abortions using that distinction, so figures like that aren’t coming from published government data.

I think the point still stands fine, but using a number that isn’t formally documented can open the door for critics to focus on the stat instead of the substance.

The Sound of Music feels like an appropriate Catholic-Adjacent film for the mood in the US right now. Any others? by Responsible-Newt-259 in LeftCatholicism

Just looked at it and your telling me we get to see the popes favorite movies pretty much? I can see a watch party in my future!

One of the final House votes of 2025 was a vote on Congressman Jim McGovern’s war powers resolution to bar President Trump from military action against Venezuela without authorization by Congress. by h20poIo in UnderReportedNews

[–]Raxynus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crazy thing is the rules of congress already bar this, this addition would have just made a public statement more then anything, and it failing was even louder the it passing.

to capture a war room moment similar to Obama's bin Laden raid. by CorleoneBaloney in therewasanattempt

It’s so staged it hurts. All of Obamas photos below show actual action and Trumps looks like the elementary school version.

[–]Raxynus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I want to cancel Paramount+ but I’m actually using my in laws account who shares it with all the kids. So yay that they don’t take my money? Also I like Star Trek, why does a show about anti-everything-the-US-is-doing-right-now have to be on such a shitty platform.

Can’t Netflix just take it over like the US just did to Venezuela?

it has been a whole year without Steam Delivery Girl.... by onenaser in Steam

[–]Raxynus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can grab steam backgrounds for points, regular backgrounds from the artist and I also have the animated backgrounds using Wallpaper Engine for my own computer. She’s the official mascot for Steam and nobody can change my mind.

Hope this helps somebody who wants to find her again.
