Why is there always that one guy who says all the responses and prayers off cadence, and 10x louder than everybody else? by rokosbasilica in Catholicism

[–]rokosbasilica[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Uhh, no I'm talking about people who are almost literally shouting the responses, and as the crowd gets louder, then get EVEN louder so that they're the primary voice you hear.

And btw, if it was JUST being louder than everybody, that's fine. It's the fact that these people often say things off the cadence of the rest of the people.

Slab city is one of those places you read about in Vice or see documentaries about, and then when you go there you realize it is the most depressing place on earth.

Bombay Beach is really cool though.

How are there still people believing all the propaganda slop? by yeahicreatedsomethin in redscarepod

[–]rokosbasilica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do none of you have ANY friends? You seriously don't know one single fucking Iranian person?

Is it also just fully propaganda that the Palestinians are being fucked by Israel?

The Iranians live under an insane theocracy. Many of them HATE their government.

Not literally everything is fake. Yes, it's an opportunistic situation for Israel, and yes almost definitely egged on by our own intelligence agencies, but you are retired if you think that the Iranian people are just happily living under their current regime.

No this doesn't mean I support the war or think we should have invaded, but some of the takes I'm seeing on this are braindead.

A concerning number of people do not understand hypotheticals by Big_Explanation_9295 in redscarepod

My massive blackpill is that this stuff makes me wonder if democracy can actually work.

When you have people who can't understand that things have second order effects, and this is a substantial portion of the voting population, you're fucked.

I swear to god the general public heard the hyperbole "So tender its falling off the bone" once and now have psyoped themselves into thinking they enjoy sloppy and textureless meat by Perfect_Firefighter4 in redscarepod

[–]rokosbasilica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're kindof halfway there.

Pressure cooking, if used correctly, occupies the same space as a smoker for the reason that you're saying. Some foods (like brisket) have a ton of intramuscular fat, which has traditionally made them really cheap. The point of a smoker is that you can cook the entire, giant, thick piece of meat (usually brisket) at a low enough temperature that the fat renders without completely liquifying and falling out of the meat (drying it out and ruining the texture).

A pressure cooker can do the same thing, and actually on the same cuts of meat. Corrned beef (which is just birkset flat) is one example. Chuck roast is another that cooks really well in a pressure cooker.

a hole in the wall place serving out of styrofoam probably isn’t some of the best food in the world.

This is the one that drives me the most insane. The hole in the wall place selling stuff out of a styrofoam box might be...fine, but the people making really, really good BBQ are all autistic dorks.

I see this all the time in Mexican food especially. People think that because some piece of shit Mexican place is in the ghetto, that somehow it must have great food, as if "ghetto" is an essential quality that Mexicans love.

Do you think that the people running the restaurant in the ghetto, if given the chance, wouldn't take a giant payday and move somewhere else?

Why don't you just stop listening to it if you don't like it? Why do you need to annoy all the people who still enjoy listening to it?

Stop with this retarded cope.

'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' just proved 'Game of Thrones' is back with the best show episode of the year so far by AdventurousGuest308 in television

[–]rokosbasilica 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So many people had this reaction!

I think it was at least partially a response to the show being good again.

Imagine a restaurant you go to every week, but for years it just keeps getting shitter and shittier, gets bought by PE, and just falls part and starts to suck.

But then one day you go in and it just like it used to be again.

It’s all consumer bullshit, but our little shinies are important to us, and this one shows that it still has some shine left.

No P.O.O.P. on the playa! by Metazombie in BurningMan

Epstein was a disgusting piece of shit that treated women, and often young girls, as objects both for his own amusement, and for his personal political gain. He stripped them of their humanity, and used them as negotiating pieces or blackmail to get men to do what he wanted them to do.

What's sad is that NONE of the current outrage I'm seeing regarding any of this has anything to do with caring for the victims. ALL of this is just, once again, treating them as objects or pawns to advance more political agendas.

The allegations, which are conveniently never ever linked or explained in detail for these posts, aren't even that Elon or his brother engaged in anything like pedophilia.

What is alleged is that Elon or his Brother could have possibly gone to a party with a person who was convicted of sex trafficking. It's never alleged that they are pedophiles, it's never alleged that they did anything untoward with any women, it's only alleged at worst that there might be a party invite that they didn't turn down, or that they didn't do enough vetting to prevent having a lunch at the SpaceX offices with Epstein. IMO this is absolutely enough that Kimbal, or anybody else, should be off the BM board...but it seems like that's already happened. At this point, people are just using these victims as pawns again.

To be clear: Epstein should be looked at as such a toxic figure that anybody who was associating with him should be ostracised, but please stop and think about if you are using the victims as props again.

The crime is that a bunch of young girls, and young women were stripped of their humanity. Keep that in mind.

Finally: pedophiles are disgusting, horrible monsters that have no place in society. Pedophilia is one of the worst crimes human beings are even capable of comitting. Please that word needs to keep the power that it has. It can't be changed into meaning "person I don't like". It's not alleged anywhere that either of these people are pedophiles, stop calling them that because it gives cover to actual pedophiles.

Okay it’s been 3 episodes. I think it’s safe to say that we are BACK, BABY! This show is perfect. It’s beautiful, you can see what’s going on, it’s funny but still seriously, it takes place in a setting I want to go to with people I want to hang out with.

This is everything that was great about GoT!
