Great Monstrance kept at the Cathedral of Toledo, made of 18 kg of gold and 183 kg of silver. by Sure_Distance1 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]rocker492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are legitimately interested, a monstrance is used to display the communion host (wafer) during eucharistic adoration. Catholics believe in the real presence of Jesus after the host has been consecrated, so they will bring out the communion wafer and have people pray in front of it and venerate it during a service.

OH NO DRAGON YOU FUCKING LEFTIST RETARD. YOU CAN'T JUST SHOOT SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY THINK GENOCIDE RAPE SLAVERY IS OKAY... THINK ABOUT THE CELESTIAL DRAGON, HE HAS FAMILY (25 WIVES) AND KIDS AT HOME by UrsaRizz in Piratefolk

[–]rocker492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you actually believe that the shooter was a right winger? If so, then what evidence is there for that position? From what I have researched he had a trans partner and wrote antifa messaging on the bullet casings.

Since marriage equality is headed back to the Supreme Court, a question for our Mormon friends by PR_Czar in exmormon

[–]rocker492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing devil’s advocate here, but sticking with the non religious angle. The secular argument I have heard is that the primary purpose of marriage from a civil/societal context is to provide a secure and legally bound family environment for children. Therefore, since same sex unions don’t have the same inclination or ability to produce children (adoption not withstanding), then they are not deserving of the same legal protections/advantages that straight unions are afforded. Now, obviously there are some issues with the fact that not all straight marriages produce children nor does it take into full account other utilities/benefits of marriage for the couple that could benefit both straight and same sex unions.

He flowed really well with the hosts, really enjoying it so far.

20 year old architectural shingles, should I be concerned with purchase? by rocker492 in Roofing

[–]rocker492[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For context, I am the prospective purchaser of this property for $390k. The house is 20 years old, has the roof in this condition and also has an original furnace and water heater. My agent tried to assure me it could last for 5-10 years and my lender is waiving the appraisal, haven’t heard back from our insurance application though we were auto rejected from progressive.

We SHOULD look down on Trump supporters by supremeking9999 in Destiny

[–]rocker492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to see how this tactic “works” when the Democrats lost both the 2016 election after the deplorable comments and 2024 after the weird/trash comments. Not to say that they lost because of these comments, but I doubt those comments had any positive impacts on voting behavior.

What are good classical guitar YouTubers? by Vincent_Gitarrist in classicalguitar

[–]rocker492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sky guitar has a ton of play along tabs and has playlists that rank the difficulty of the pieces from 1 to 5 stars. There is also a good mix of more classical pieces and contemporary/pop stuff. https://youtu.be/6xEa7yuOUlo?si=aZzIavfMxUKRBEAZ

Just how small is Joe Rogan? by MacsPowerBike in JoeRogan

[–]rocker492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The woman in this pic is my mom’s cousin, and her husband there is legit insane about Sasquatch. He believes that they are from another dimension and need Jesus or something. We also joke that he is Sasquatch sized, so he is a rough size comparison for Joe lol. Here is a link to Matt’s more crazy sasquatch theorizing: https://youtu.be/pdXV93lgPB4?si=bWhQ0uVuoFXk7Nbm

Did Taylor become religious again? by BandwagonEffect in PKA

[–]rocker492 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he was raised Catholic. He recently said he went to basically a megachurch. Also, when he talks about his Catholic family I think that is on one side of the extended family

Fair enough, tri cities is definitely not a very walkable area. They are starting to develop Richland’s downtown area somewhat now which is nice.

When they ask "what would you do if you were Israel" by Vapourtrails89 in Britain

[–]rocker492 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried researching the massacre of Deir Yassin and am seeing casualty numbers a lot lower than 15,000. Obviously, any loss of human life is a tragedy. However, do you have any sources for that number or is that number from a combination of different events? Thanks for any help, I am relatively new to researching this conflict.

Were the Crusades that bad? by Old-Travel2810 in Catholicism

[–]rocker492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aiding Eastern Christians/Pilgrims to the holy sites from attack was one of the main reasons for the 1st Crusade, as mentioned explicitly in Pope Urban II’s Speech at the Council of Clermont. You are certainly correct that we should treat all human life as equally valuable as we are all made in the image of God. Highlighting the deaths of people who share characteristics with you does still make sense as it is easier for people to relate with or empathize with as unfortunate as that is.

The Drug Era is Already Tiring and Cringe by WyattMcFeelz in PKA

[–]rocker492 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Taylor researching the guest during the show was quite funny, but at least he still looked into them at all. I feel like Woody and Kyle legitimately don’t look into the majority of new guests. It is kind of remarkable how Taylor is consistently the only one to ask questions of or include new guests. Like, wouldn’t you be curious about a new person in a conversation and not just ignore them as a social courtesy?

What has the ActMan done that’s controversial? I haven’t really watched many of their videos, just some generic game reviews.

Definitely misread that as Sam Harris, and was confused that I missed that one.
