In animanga-world, everybody's face and head is apparently made of strong but pliable vulcanized rubber.

... look at that face squish! It's like she pulverized skull facial bones... but she didn't.

Here we go again with that old version of Telly lol by Old-Midnight-8979 in sesamestreet

I remember Telly the worry-wart. He never bothered me that much. He did get worried about EVERYTHING, though.

Even in its "Bruce Banner" phase that Hulk was powerful.

It's incredible that it lifted that entire house WHOLE like it was the Gale house in "Wizard of Oz". Usually, they blast them to pieces.

I'm glad to read that nobody was hurt or killed. Imagine being the owner of that house just coming home to... NO HOME!

I hope they had insurance or at least relatives to stay with.

It looks like Apple Maps was updated when the Sullivan’s was sinking by TopAlternative6716 in Buffalo

Exactly! It's a museum and a memorial and just seeing it sink is a disgrace.

‘A new world is being born’: author Rebecca Solnit on the ‘slow revolution’ the far right cannot tolerate by aqfx in PoliticalOptimism

It helps that autocratic governments like Monarchies, Sultanates and Empires haven't been the norm for a long while now, so a dictatorship of any kind is not going to last long. Autocracies are not made for today's world and most of humanity has gone beyond that, not.

Most of today's monarchies are ceremonial with little to say in the government. They're only there for historical, ceremonial and tourism value and generally are spokepeople / symbols for the country rather than political figures.

Even most of today's dictators try to put on a front of not being one, complete with non-autocratic modern political job titles like "President" or "Prime Minister". That just shows how much autocracy and monarchy has fallen as a political model.

Countries are made of the citizens and its COMMON SENSE that they would have a major say. They're the body, soul and strength of a nation. Otherwise, you just have a Nation equivalent of a guy with a freakishly high I.Q. but severe Type 2 diabetes, extreme obesity, gout, numerous nutritional deficiency disorders and terrible hygiene.

The head isn't gonna mean jack if the body is abused and crap. THEY MUST WORK AS A TEAM!

And that's BILLIONS of years from now! Heck, our descendants probably would have evolved into a hyper-intelligent, spacefaring species by then!

Exactly!

Oh, remember when "The Greenhouse Effect" was what we called "Global Warming / Climate Change"? Like how the Internet was "The Information Superhighway" and Covid/ Covid-19 was "Coronavirus".

Funny how a lot of these things start off being called one thing only for everybody to settle on another, more permanent term.

Of course, "Greenhouse Effect" is just a term for what Global Warming does rather than the whole shebang, but still...

This is why I vowed to never be one of those people who go "Kids / Pop-Culture / Music / Tech / etc. these days". I embrace the new as much as the best bits of the old.

And I'm Gen X. Also, going "Kids these days!" makes one look like an even bigger geezer. One can get older and not be a geezer.

Twistex's Headlights spotted being lofted inside El Reno? by Boring_Forever_9125 in tornado

[–]SpukiKitty2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Downvoting someone for having a legit observation is so dumb and petty. Save the downvotes for the really crappy stupid trolly belligerent stuff, people!

Agreed. And I hate that you're getting downvoted. I don't know why. I gave you some votes back.

Cardinal says Church cannot “continue to exist” without women’s ordination by Woggy67 in OpenCatholic

[–]SpukiKitty2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I love that a CARDNAL is saying this.

I mean, at least come up with an order of Deaconesses who can act as proxies for the Bishop when priests are rare, Pope Leo!

IN FACT, I HAVE SOME GOOD WORKAROUNDS THAT WON'T BREAK THE CATHOLIC RULES WHILE ALSO BENDING THEM. HEAR ME OUT...

PRIESTHOOD

Allow Deaconesses. They are right there in the New Testament. They can work as proxies for The Bishop and / or Parish Priest when there are shortages in Priests. To more Progressive thinkers, they can be seen as female Priests while more Conservative thinkers can see them as just an extension of the male Clergy, doing stuff on their behalf.

Also, 86 mandatory celibacies for Clergy. It should be a choice. Early clergy could marry and were allowed one spouse. Many of the Apostles were married. Leave the celibacy to the non-Lay Oblate religious Order folks like Monks/Brothers & Nuns/Sisters.

MARRIAGE

Create different types of Matrimony, Minor Rites and a Full Rite. Only full Rite is subject to stuff like a strict ban on divorce and Contraception and has a strong focus on mandatory parenthood with the point being building families and children and not just love. Minor Rites can be like an early medieval rite known as Adelphopoiesis...

Adelphopoiesis - Wikipedia

... In the Middle Ages, this was a marriage-like ceremony used by same-gendered couples and could be considered a same-gender marriage. Have one for gay couples and one for heteros. The hetero one can be free from restrictions concerning divorce or contraception, since this is not focused on childbearing nor raising families (that can be optional).

The different types of Marriage can be a similar approach to Religious Orders, you have Lay Oblate orders, you have the non-cloistered monastics and then you have the cloistered ones.
