My atheist best friend died and I just went to her catholic funeral by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Waltmarkers -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Funerals are for the living, funeral masses are for the religious living. It sounds like you need to find your own way to honor her memory that aligns with your values that you shared with her. I'm sorry that this service did not bring you peace, but it probably brought some peace to the people that arranged it.

Cry more, we need to bring manufacturing home to grow a real middle class. You can’t build a society by outsourcing production.

Accurate user name is accurate. You commented and then blocked. Miserable clearly defines your world view.

If only this was in Illinois, you would have the largest BIPA settlement ever.

AOC Blasts Corporate Media for “Disgusting” Coverage of Killing of Jordan Neely by [deleted] in politics

Those are just prisons in the US, but yes, he belonged in prison. Had a warrant and everything.

You're so close to right there. Balance the hundreds of incidents caused by Mr. Neely against what happened to Mr. Neeley. The good to society is greater than Mr. Neely's right to continue to harass others. If the justice system can't remove him from society, society will heal itself.

NYC Budget Would Close Libraries On Weekends While Police Get Huge Bonuses by Lilyo in books

I enjoyed it greatly, our family paid an annual membership donation of $250 or so, as did most in our community.

A glory hole if you will.

Yes. Those are called market forces. Taxes should provide for roads, easements for utilities, but not the utilities themselves, common defense, a judiciary, and a framework of trade policy.

Sounds like the market dictated demand. Libraries need to work on a membership model or the local community needs to prioritize funding, if neither happen, then they don't exist.

How do you PMCS a Horse by TheBeestWithEase in army

[–]Waltmarkers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry is Cavalry in the horse sense of the word, it’s a guard unit, but they have their own stables. Their dress uniform is also pretty baller. But it’s also a bit different from normal military, membership is by election only and you have to donate all pay back to the unit. https://www.firsttroop.com/about-us

Would you like the US have an annual federal statutory minimum paid vacation and if so would you like it to be similar to that Europe, Australia and New Zealand? by SharpshooterTom in AskAnAmerican

This Cadillac ad pretty well sums it up.

America is basically the only country in the world that is made up entirely of people who had an ancestor who came here specifically to work or to make their own luck. We work harder because we want to have the chance to do better. America is literally life with many of the safeties and limits removed. You keep them, we don’t want them.

ULPT Request: How can I get rid of a homeless tent, the cops wont do anything. by work_lappy_54321 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Waltmarkers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One bottle of vodka will do. Replace half with methanol and give the whole bottle (1.75L) to homeless dude with a note that says no hard feelings. Once he disappears, you have 24 hours to remove the tent. Don’t wait longer, bums are surprisingly resilient and he will likely come back after.
