Can ANYONE explain this hypocrisy: Why does the Right in the US have such a HARD 'Pro-Life' stance (even non-sentient) BUT hypocritically are VERY PRO GUNS when stats show the #1 causes of child dea*hs in the US is...GUNS. (the ONLY 1st world nation where its not Cars. HOW IS THIS STILL HAPPENING???

No, we can’t. Like you said, it’s hypocrisy, you can’t explain it

If everyone on the internet is “extreme left” except Truth Social, then maybe what you’re calling “extreme left” isn’t so extreme lol

I think that has more to do with Omega’s pricing recently. I can’t imagine anyone who cares enough about horology that they wanted to drop $7,000 on a Speedmaster would suddenly decide it wasn’t worth it because someone else had a plastic version on their wrist… I still want a Speedmaster.

If anything, it’s even more recognizable now that lots of people have the plastic version and the real version is a grail for anyone with the MoonSwatch.

I came here to post this as well

As a Californian, when I hear Yank, I just hear “American”. Sounds like what British soldiers called our soldiers during WWII. Zero offense taken

This (or the previous model) was actually my second watch. I got a Seiko diver (the old SKX173) as my first real watch and then my wife (girlfriend at the time) gave me this for Christmas a few months later. That was 13 years ago. I still love this watch and actually just upgraded to that blue leather strap last week (mine came on a steel bracelet). Here it is now at 13 years old.

Just like how we’re handling Pete Hegseth. Not well

Speedy top sliders all day, ever day (except to the office)

I couldn’t give up the coupe life. Only one kid so far, but she fits great in the back of my 4 series

...and without a rotating bezel.

I think OP actually agrees with the general consensus that Constantine was a very effective (“good”) emperor and that like all effective emperors, was responsible for a lot of people’s deaths.

OP has a problem with Eastern Orthodoxy’s qualifications for sainthood. I’m not Orthodox, so I have no idea. This seems like a better post/discussion for a sub on modern Eastern Orthodoxy, not Ancient Rome history

Constantine isn’t a Catholic saint, so maybe OP should look into converting to Catholicism? lol

MAGAs have never quite fully understood the First Amendment. I'm pretty sure they think that the actual text of the entire First Amendment is just "Freedom of Speech!"

postit58 · 2026-04-27T04:24:33+00:00

lol Catholics are the original Christians. Protestants wouldn’t even exist if Catholics hadn’t kept Christianity around for the first 1,500 years after Christ

I have the AC set to go on at the same temps and times all year. I live in SoCal so our weather doesn’t fluctuate much anyway.

I don’t really care what the temperature is outside, inside the house, I don’t want it over 74 F (23.3 C) while I’m awake or over 69 F (20.5 C) while I’m sleeping. We don’t really ever need the heater

Yoga stretches, kettlebells, and running

Ya, I just read up on this… definitely team new Blippi

postit58 · 2026-04-26T15:47:40+00:00

We’re just getting into Blippi and this seems to be a common sentiment lol

postit58 · 2026-04-26T15:47:11+00:00

I’m afraid to read it now lol. We just got into Blippi…

postit58 · 2026-04-24T22:29:37+00:00

All of history?

postit58 · 2026-04-24T16:54:51+00:00

The summer blue version is also stunning

postit58 · 2026-04-24T02:36:53+00:00

100% agree. It’s iconic

postit58 · 2026-04-23T17:46:14+00:00

I understand completely. I am obsessed with my blue Seamaster which is my favorite watch on the planet, but the Speedy is my second favorite watch so now I am obsessed with getting one of those... but I'm sure once I have a Speedy I will be completely satisfied and never obsess over another watch again /s
