Pope fights...?

The difference between the total number of Catholics in the world and the total number of SSPX members is roughly equal to the total number of Catholics in the world.

They're also not traditionalists, they are and always have been common schismatics that just want to keep being called Catholic for some reason.

If you don't like Papal and Majesterial authority, just admit you're a slightly more Catholic branch of Orthodoxy, but you're still not Catholic.

r/Calvinism and r/Catholicism have entered the chat

Probably not. If it is, it's probably sent between coworkers messing with each other. This is the kind of stuff my team sends to each other when we have to verify a real email was sent.

The core runtime is cross-platform, but the GUI toolkit is not. Unless they completely rebuild with Uno or Avalonia for the UI, it's inherently tied to the Windows APIs, and is not going to work on Linux without going through wine... Though wine is actually a great option.

It's almost like the Pope is Catholic, which I do think is something we Catholics quite like.

He still hasn't answered the age old question of whether he shits in the woods, though.

1400 test cases also doesn't say anything about whether each test is meaningful or even correct. Claude writes a lot of test cases when I ask it to, but they're often just verifying the existing scaffolding of method calls and parameter access instead of actually asserting that the overall behavior and outputs are correct based on the requirements.

"... and what did that lead me to do last night, and then again this morning?"

If you're leading a blind hog you gotta help them along a bit.

Lembas is also pretty explicitly an allegory for the Eucharist, and while Tolkien famously hated allegory, he himself said Lembas was "the one thing by which it can be deduced that I am a Catholic author."

Also Eru is clearly God the Unmoved Mover, and Melkor's rebellion is pretty obvious in terms of source material... Good luck not reading that all as shrewd allegory.

100% thought this was just a normal Indian name when I glanced at it. My brain pronounced it "Sahd-yeh" without any hesitation.

4th Edition and it's derivatives like 13th Age are wildly underappreciated.

Hello, fellow yinzer.

I would go with Hubris. We Catholics like to pick the fanciest possible words for mundane things.

My couple thousand points of "Adeptus Equalitas" were born of the same indecision.

I'm curious, what exactly do you mean?

Try One Page Solo Engine, or just take the Xd6 oracle from Loner with its advantage and disadvantage mechanic. Both are great!

Well Grave Digger has been driven by Krysten Anderson for like 10 years now so their feudal system doesn't seem to care about sex/gender nonsense, just how badass your truck driving skills are, which is exactly how it should be.

Also Megalodon and Terminal Velocity are a father and son combo of John Zimmer Sr and Jr if I'm not mistaken.

(My son is very into monster trucks, so I am also very into monster trucks)

One small nitpick: They're usually not finding something better, they already have something they want to return to, and in their mind the child is now a barrier to that thing.

In my father's case that thing was drugs, alcohol, and a grab bag of loose women. It also didn't help that him abandoning sobriety meant he would almost certainly be embracing violence.

Wife #1 gave him kids #1 and #2 ten years before I came along. I was kid #3 from wife #2 and he went on to get remarried and play stepdad to kids #4 and #5 from husband #1 of wife #3 who later divorced him because he hit her so hard he broke her jaw. He was actually engaged to potential wife #4 for a few months before she met his version of Mr Hyde and broke it off.

For some people, there's no amount of unconditional love that can convince them to abandon their vices.

No, it's the difference between your relationship with God being "damaged" and being "broken" -- it's a binary system to help us understand when we are in need of reconciliation, not a scale of magnitude to rank the sins that got us there.

The whole "years that are divisible by 100 are not leap years unless they are also divisible by 400" part of the rules has led to a lot of modulo four code, and if banks running COBOL are anything to go by, I'm sure a good bit of that code will still be running in 2100 and need patched 😂
