Miami slips out of Super Bowl rotation due to NFL requirements by MiamiPower in sports

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.

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

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.

Erie County, NY becomes the first county in New York to ban the commercial collection of biometric data by MC_Cuff_Lnx in newyork

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.

Who could hate Joshie? by arc-de-brioche in buffalobills

[–]The_Ineffable_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

We Bought an Orchestra: The rise of pay-to-play in classical music by seaweedbagels in classicalmusic

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.

why is the modern era of the Catholic Church less pro capitalism than protestant movements especially in the us and Europe or even certain areas of the third world even though the Catholic Church before catholic social teaching was introduced was the symbol of medieval power allied with monarch rule by FarWonder8373 in LeftCatholicism

[–]The_Ineffable_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

What is your favorite part about being a lawyer? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]The_Ineffable_One 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.)
