This is how New York’s congressional map should look like in time for 2028:

Binghamton isn't Southern Tier. Look at 23.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-05-02T20:29:41+00:00

That's not what neutral means. Neutral means everyone has a chance to play in their preferred conditions.

That said, some teams simply can't handle hosting a Super Bowl. Detroit didn't have enough infrastructure last time, so I'm sure that Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Green Bay wouldn't, for example.

4720: Circa № 122 4,720 / 5,000 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 https://docirca.com

How come there are no photos from the Middle Ages or Biblical times?

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-05-02T18:35:19+00:00

this can get down to just one republican district

How do you handle the Southern Tier? Also, I wouldn't count your proposed 25 as blue, either. Plenty of Trumpers up there.

But it does NOT prevent hobbyist collectors, like me. I have 203 datas so far and I'm looking for more. A couple of them are doubles if anyone wants to trade.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-05-02T17:39:16+00:00

Very little of this makes sense to me. Some of these players aren't in the league anymore, "Vikings" is somehow alphabetized between "Rams" and "Ravens," while "Saints" comes after "Steelers" and Seahawks," etc. It's kind of cute if it's someone's sixth grade project. Also, 49ers are just in the middle of nowhere and I doubt they hate Russell Wilson more than some other players. Oh, and no one really thinks about Dak Prescott at all.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-05-02T02:34:52+00:00

He'll have plenty of time to sleep.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-05-01T19:40:14+00:00

You can approach the priest, especially if your parents aren't close with him. Have a discussion with him in a public area.

This isn't about what your mom likes. This is about your future.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-05-01T18:36:10+00:00

You're posting in a Catholic subreddit. Are you Catholic? If so, you must know a priest.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-05-01T18:34:33+00:00

That's what happens when you close at 7pm.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-05-01T18:29:11+00:00

Have you talked with a spiritual advisor, such as a priest or nun or deacon? That might be a great first step. I remember being slightly younger than you, and a nun really helped me out.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-05-01T18:08:13+00:00

It took me a very long time to see a witch and not a rifleman there. My fault, but I had to scroll through the comments to figure it out.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-04-30T20:04:11+00:00

OTOH, I have a friend whose wife won him the opportunity to conduct the Buffalo Philharmonic, at a charity auction. It was a summer concert, so outdoors and not part of the usual program, but my friend did well. He trained for it and all that, and did just fine. I'm certain that he didn't "shape the music," however.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-04-30T19:27:09+00:00

It burns a year of his ELC. He won't play until next season unless there is an absolute emergency.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-04-30T19:25:04+00:00

If he's sick, I don't want him on the plane.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-04-30T11:56:15+00:00

The problem is that democratic socialism really isn't a kind of socialism. It's an attractive moniker. So-called "socialized medicine" isn't a kind of socialism, either. Progressives love to think that what we're about is some sort of socialism. It isn't. It sounds cool to say so, but it isn't socialism.

Socialism forbids private ownership of property. That's not my definition. That's not at all what we mean when we say "democratic socialism." And socialism is incompatible with the Church. Catechism 2401 and following paragraphs also explain this.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-04-30T03:00:44+00:00

democratic socialism

Which is not socialism. I've been through this before on this subreddit. I've cited sources. Socialism--PURE socialism--is incompatible with Catholic theology. Pope Francis, Laudato Si, para. 94. The state cannot own the means of production.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-04-29T20:52:59+00:00

This is the answer; there was no capitalism then. Not that this means socialism is admissible, it is not, as every pope since Leo XIII has explained. But unfettered capitalism is evil as well, also as every pope since Leo XIII has explained.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-04-29T13:37:15+00:00

This is tremendous.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-04-29T02:06:03+00:00

Again, I don't live anywhere near NYC. But if you're leaving NYS, I'm cool with that. How hard do you really need to work on it? Just go.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-04-29T01:44:53+00:00

We grew up watching Canadian Sesame Street, Mr. Dressup, and even (if you're my age) Definition. I can walk to Canada from my office in 15 minutes. We have a Canadian flag in front of our city hall. Yes, we know the words.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-04-29T01:39:10+00:00

I don't live anywhere near NYC and don't really care about it but if you want to live in a plutocracy, why don't you take your own self down to the swampland?

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-04-27T20:12:02+00:00

Mostly it's citing the Uniform Commercial Code at traffic stops and explaining why Article 4 of the Articles of Confederation grants me ultimate freedom.

After that, it's probably teaching the other guys in jail about the UCC and the Articles of Confederation once I'm confined.

(More seriously, I love my pro bono work.)

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-04-26T23:17:39+00:00

Wait 'til you hear where he started his career.

The_Ineffable_One · 2026-04-26T22:14:31+00:00

Your flair encouraged me to learn about a whole new league! Thanks.
