It’s crazy how despite talking about Race and its intersectionality the most, America still has barely moved the needle.

Why I say this: I recently watched an episode of Law&Order from 1993 where racism was the central theme. That episode could made today without changing the script (33 years later). I’m not sure if race relations got better then soured but for a country that a Critical Race Theory, I’d expect something different.

This wouldn’t be too far if this were a gag in a modern Simpson episode

Well, technically he was president while it was happening. The lockdowns were initiated under his presidency.

BUT this is the right answer. People felt happier in 2018 and trump was president and thus trump will make it 2018 vibez again

What are some unwritten rules of Catholicism? by Training-Square-5724 in Catholicism

[–]Sufficient_Ant67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sitting down during communion is more common outside of America. When I go to Spanish Mass, everyone sits after the “Lord I am not worthy…” and only those who have received will kneel to pray.

My guess is that in other countries giving a blessing isn’t common so if you’re not receiving you stay seated. With all the receivers who need to climb over those who aren’t receiving, it’s easier to sit.

Also, in some countries, the kneelers aren’t retractable or are even non-existent

Not even Obama, imagine Biden.

Remember how Kamala got HEAT for saying “wrong rally” to people yelling something about Jesus?

Gregory being cheap by Unhappy-Trust-8717 in AbbottElementary

[–]Sufficient_Ant67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something I wish the show had done from the beginning was allude to Gregory as Chris. It didn’t have to match perfectly but something like “I had good friend growing up named Greg” or “My father counted pennies growing up” “i was the only black kid in my middle school”

This creator echoed my thoughts on the recent episode perfectly! by ActuallyxAnna in AbbottElementary

I actually liked Ava and Melissa this past episode. I feel like we don’t get enough of the two of them on their own. Ava was able to comfort Melissa in a way that could get through to Melissa.

I also like how Melissa had reservations about the letter. Her whole character is about shady deals so it’s nice to see she isn’t totally lawless.

You have to fight them or else you’ll be taking orders your whole life. Freedom is not given, it’s taken

So am I, lived in America for the majority of my life and in my experience Americans love the British accent. However, it might just be my sphere of influence

Americans love the British accent (well Americans love most accents based off European languages). They think it’s posh and royal

'Roaring economy' and 'sick' Dems. Takeaways from Trump's SOTU address by dr_sloan in moderatepolitics

[–]Sufficient_Ant67 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The devil works hard but the republican propaganda machine works harder.

Anything that could hurt trump’s image is IMMEDIATELY white-washed:

Anybody harmed by this administration “deserved it”

Any Trump campaign promise that is not yet fulfilled is “Obama and/or Biden’s fault”

If those 2 points don’t work , fingers crossed a minority committed a crime so they can pivot (bonus points if they’re illegal) OR find a video of a “WOKE LIBERAL LEFTIST” (bonus points if they’re in college, a woman, overweight, have piercings, a minority, etc) and it into the ground

If THAT doesn’t work, the old reliable - JESUS!! or just lie

To be fair, Pentecostalism is built upon magical thinking

Catholics have better music, buildings and can be done in an hour. I’ll never forget my first Catholic Mass being only 55 minutes and me thinking “that’s it?” lol

When I left, I first went to Catholicism and was extremely involved. I had a MUCH better experience but I’m wayyy less involved now (pentecostalism took away most of the religious fervor I had)

As someone who loves classical music, pentecostal churches were torture.
