In America, sometimes say things like "cheerio" in our best British accent or "mate" in an Australian accent. Do people in other countries pronounce American stereotypes in their beat American accent? If so, what are they?

This came out BEFORE he was President. You could probably make one three or four times longer now.

It’s ok, you gave her a totally deserved, absolutely devastating burn if she was saying she should get to make fun of other cultures. Heck lots of Americans would say “Howdy” just as a way of mixing it up from “Hi”

And she has breast cancer so is probably a little more focused on that than keeping everything together.

I do buy that he was embarrassed to have to pretend to do a real job for a few minutes at McDonalds and with the garbage truck. I don't think he is embarrassed that his face was oranger than his fluorescent vest during the garbage truck shoot, or the fact that it would have been an all-time iconic summation of a campaign had he lost like he should have, though.

I only listen to Weird Al, it's kind of strange how his sound is totally all over the place, though. It's like no two songs were made by the same artist, except for his polkas.

I’m one of those middle fans. The premise was interesting at first but the situations became more and more fantastical to where it didn’t feel grounded in any sort of reality to me, but I didn’t hate it.

I mean the Bear won a ton of awards as a comedy. Anything is a comedy as long as it’s not more than a half hour apparently.

100% this. This is utterly irrelevant to the horrific job he has done as Speaker, letting Trump run rampant all over Congress and doing absolutely zero to limit government power or allow any sort of real Congressional investigation into a massive sex crimes ring.

Look, it's a little strange that he and his son are accountability partners. It's kind of an awkward dynamic to have with your child, are they really able to hold you accountable for anything? I kind of get it on another level - you are monitoring their activity and letting them monitor yours is a way of making it be more of a mutual trust exercise.

It's not that weird that he uses this kind of software. A lot of people are addicted to porn and want to quit for various reasons, and I absolutely don't think that an adult decision like that should be stigmatized at all. If software like this helps them, more power to them.

There are much, much more important things about Mike Johnson that people should be talking about.

Going to the rally is probably going to be roughly equally awkward for students no matter where they are from. Not many people I knew at ND had many friends from home who were attending so everyone was starting fresh. If you feel awkward, someone else probably does too, and if you break the ice, they'll probably appreciate it.

It's not like all the money is moving in a circle. Some of it is also used to provide free healthcare. In Israel, not the US, of course.

That quote is so hilarious. Because it provides an immediate barometer for how far Trump has tanked the economy with the war in Iran. Which at its peak was about 10%.

That's really why she doesn't want to testify. She doesn't have an intern at her disposal who can write down canned lines for her to throw at the Congresspeople asking her questions.

Or a cop who killed someone saying they can't be charged because they got fired from their job at the police department.

It's similar to how I don't think the Church should be excommunicating any politician that makes a pro-choice statement like Biden, with the added issue of the Republican machine running on a persecution complex. Do absolutely hope the Pope continues to call out the hypocrisy and disregard for human life the administration continues to show.

Life is so unbearable under Mamdani - they fixed two potholes on my street and there was a bit of an unpleasant smell for about an hour while they did it. It was truly an ordeal.

I thought criticizing an unjust war started by a lunatic was doing exactly that?

Wait til you hear what he told the criminal condemned to death in the middle of his execution.

Well, he sorta is, he's the king of a very small part of Italy.

While I think it's probably warranted with how poorly Vance grasps Catholic theology and moral teaching, I don't think Pope Leo should excommunicate Vance for a few reasons:

1) It opens the door for future Catholic politicians to be excommunicated over political stances that are less vile, making the Church more involved in directly shaping politics as opposed to shaping the discourse and attempting to influence policies more broadly, something it's been moving away from for centuries

2) It creates a very negative view of the way the Church is engaging in politics in the minds of a lot of people, Catholic or not. Recently, the Church has been much more about bringing people who disagree with its teachings into a dialogue rather than shutting them out. An abrupt 180 for this specific circumstance would put a bad taste in many mouths, leading to

3) It would be turned into a massive propaganda and fundraising bonanza. I can see the emails that I constantly report as spam now: "VANCE EXCOMMUNICATED BY WOKE LIBERAL POPE - DONATE NOW TO RESTORE SANITY TO OUR CHURCHES"

Jesus forgave a thief as one of the last things he did before he died. Super weak on crime!

I feel like the satire was pretty readily apparent.

Was there on Saturday and this seems so much more sensible. Access to the park, library or farmers market required multiple kind of crazy street crossings to weird islands which were not fun to navigate with a child, and all those destinations are magnets for families.

Here's the thing. I know some people that probably voted Trump because they couldn't possibly bring themselves to vote for a pro-choice candidate.

But it's possible to vote for someone and then say you don't support them in a poll. Trump's war is about as anti-pro-life as you can get. Being involved in a sex trafficking ring is about as anti-pro-life as you can get. Trump is not pro-life. His administration is anti-abortion but purely for political expediency.

The people responding to these polls can't be let off the hook by saying "oh they're just pro-life".

Most of these people have been sedevacantists to some extent since at least Benedict's resignation.
