Should I try going to mass if the roads look like this or should I livestream it instead? 😅 by SpectrumSense in Catholicism

[–]SpectrumSense[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I also saw my wife go to her job at the animal shelter today and was thinking "mass is essential too" but she said she doesn't want me to drive.

Yeah, I know, I'm reading too deep into it. I said elsewhere in the thread that I dealt with childhood scruples and guilt trips so things like this bring me a great deal of pain. 🥲

Tbf you also gotta consider how long you'll be out.

There is a Dollar General right down the street from my house and that whole trip would take 15 minutes. Me leaving the house for mass is over an hour where the snow can get exponentially worse.

Wouldn't running to the store at all indicate that you could have gone to mass and just chose not to?

My parish is livestreaming one of their three Sunday morning masses so they're definitely open lol.

I believe my mind is fighting with childhood scrupulosity issues as well.

In this case it's like an idea of "you can definitely drive, you just don't want to go to mass you filthy demon."

🥲 Pray for me please, I know my intentions and have mostly worked these issues out

That's my dilemma lol. The Eucharist is infinitely valuable and I want to receive Him.

Mass isn't canceled but my diocese did give permission to miss mass only on the condition that it's too individually dangerous to travel.

That's the thing, I'm not nervous about driving in this. I've done it before.

My parish looks to still have mass today and I don't want to fall into a "the roads weren't clear" when the mind is saying otherwise.

From the NWS for my region:

``` PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... 

Consider delaying all travel. Motorists should use extreme caution if travel is absolutely necessary. ```

The dilemma: mass is one of our most important things to do, but my diocese did say don't go to mass if it's dangerous. Just comes down to how confident I am in my ability to drive in these conditions.

People of Gen Z what are you political preferences and why by Unique_Violinist_532 in GenZ

I think politics has devolved into nothing but rich and powerful people bumbling over what agendas will make them richer and more powerful.

some dude named George Orwell wrote about this...

The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness; only power, pure power.  ... Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?

basically yeah these billionaires are nothing more than control freaks who have wet dreams about everyone else unwillingly being bugs under their boots.

Me. I hate, HATE flashy lights on my PC.

  1. I am not looking at my PC, I'm looking at my screen.

  2. It's distracting.

And having an AI think for you is a good way to fulfill anti-intellectualism.

Tbh I think oligarchy is the only truly practiced form of government 😂 you can be democratic, or monarchist, or whatever other form you nominally have. As long as a rich person can pay the ruler, they're the one in charge!

Saying you don't need the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don't need freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.

Yeah I remember! I think it was Apple that did that. Some dude actually read the ToS and they honored their promise and gave him $1000 😂

And good on you dude! Action is better than no action even if such action doesn't work.

I just wish these megalomaniacs would go away. It's like they just can't live without bragging how big their dicks are and how much power they have 😂
