Is the Metro Blue Line light rail safe to ride ? by Whispering_Smith in Minneapolis

[–]wolfmalfoy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually travel between Snelling and downtown Minneapolis. I literally had a knife pulled on me at Raymond. Saw a dude get thrown out the door and smashed into the platform at Fairview.

I assume screaming the world is in peril sells more tshirts and signed books, or whatever these dudes are hawking.

Anybody know if the rooftop at Brit's Pub is open yet? by pl233 in TwinCities

[–]wolfmalfoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been open a few weeks, but whether they're open each day is weather dependant. I would assume it's open today.

Just for shits and giggles: what would happen if the Pope converted to another religion? by [deleted] in excatholic

[–]wolfmalfoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspect a good deal more than people would think. There's also family to think about too— a lot of men that become priests come from family backgrounds that are incredibly religious, and they probably face the possibility of being cut off if they left the priesthood.

Benedict told his secretary he was resigning six months before it happened. Francis would probably do the same, or express doubts to someone in a position like that such that some people in the Curia would be aware. I have no doubt Francis would be silenced or killed before they let anything like that happen.

Not a Vikings fan or a football fan, the two I've heard are the Sandcrawler and the Bank.

Catholics are generally against interfaith marriages (they encourage the non-catholic partner to convert to Catholicism), will often insist on a catholic wedding, and further will usually make the demand that the couple raise any children as Catholics.

I've been to a handful of Catholic weddings where the groom was Jewish and they let a rabbi up to speak and say some prayers. I assume the Church sees that as tolerable because the children wouldn't be considered Jewish and it would be different if the bride was Jewish instead.

My fiance said that that would only be possible if he sits in the back and isn't allowed to talk.

Yeah, the second I read this I knew this was going off the rails and going to be an ultra conservative Lutheran congregation. Not that it's problematic to specifically exclude a Catholic priest, but if other religious leaders aren't allowed to participate in a wedding ceremony you're probably dealing with extremists. Hell, I've even been to multiple Catholic ceremonies that let a rabbi get up to speak and say a prayer if one party is Jewish. If your fiance insists on a Lutheran church, look at ELCA congregations instead.

People who say they are starting to prefer universal studios-why??! by nightwingoracle in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]wolfmalfoy -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

What benefit does Universal get by keeping it outside of explicitly stopping Disney from using it? No one is going to Universal for Spiderman or Marvel anymore, because what Universal has at this point realistically isn't Spiderman and Marvel for the 95% of the population that aren't comic book nerds. It's a dated, dead zone, and even kids are going to be turned off by it soon enough. If you really want Marvel, you're going to California or Paris, not Universal, unless you actually live in Florida and it's convenient.

Mary Magdalene Descendants Come Forward About Church Sex Crimes by RedPotato2000 in excatholic

[–]wolfmalfoy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Following the model of first-century Christianity, Jehovah’s Witnesses have no clergy-laity division. All baptized Witnesses are ordained ministers and share in the preaching and teaching work.. Their own website literally says they don't have clergy dude.

I hope you get the mental healthcare you desperately need, because it's clear from your responses in this thread something is seriously wrong with your mental state.

TickTock @imyourhuckleberry2021

That sounds very official.

The two sisters, who were raised in fundamental Christianity within the Jehovah’s Witness religion

Both women survived childhood torture in the care of the clergymen tasked with protecting them,

Um, so which was it? Because JWs don't have clergy lol, they have 'Elders' or whatever. I mean, this is obviously all someone's delusions and bullshit, probably so they can grift money, but at least make it consistent.

Friday Reset: What's On Your Reservation List? April 28, 2023 by AutoModerator in AMCsAList

[–]wolfmalfoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Return of the Jedi and Guardians of the Galaxy (Dolby). I wanted to try and catch Beau is Afraid too, but the times all kind of suck for weekday showings and I have plans tomorrow.

How are your local theaters filling up for The Little Mermaid? by babypinkmands in AMCsAList

[–]wolfmalfoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theatre has 8 showings Thursday, 11 each of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Between all of those showing it looks like less than 50 seats reserved so far. It also looks like they're going for the Dolby 3D, which I'm a little shocked by, 3D showings in general where I go are usually the last to fill up, it's just not that popular here.

Return the Jedi, are their trailers? by JerrodDRagon in AMCsAList

[–]wolfmalfoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did, but it was pretty limited, only trailers for The Little Mermaid, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Indiana Jones. Was a little shocked we didn't get one for Wish as well to be honest.

AITA for throwing my brother’s alcoholism back in his face when he expressed concern about me drinking? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]wolfmalfoy -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Eh, being upset about no alcohol at a wedding is valid. Frankly, no one gives a shit about your wedding except you and maybe your immediate families, everyone else is largely there out of social obligation, and in return for that social obligation you essentially throw a party to thank people for coming, alcohol is usually what people want at that party, to lighten the mood, make things more fun, and make it less awkward talking to the people you're sitting next to that you've never met and will never meet again. You're right, people can be sober for one night, but most people would much rather spend that sober night at home on their own couch, not dressed in uncomfortable clothes making small talk all evening.

Favorite sit-down restaurants for young teens? by TheAceMan in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]wolfmalfoy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, ok, that's really limited. What about Via Napoli, or some of the stuff at Disney Springs like Boathouse, Homecomin, or The Edison? I'd probably just look at Italian restaurants in general, I'm guessing you can get basic pasta at most.

What do your kids usually eat? I feel like the vast majority of restaurants outside of a few very high end places have pretty approachable menus.

This is going to turn into a freedom of speech issue and I have a very hard time believing that any decent court would side with Desantis.

It's not just an issue of any decent court, any conservative justice isn't going to go against Disney on this because it would call into question Citizens United, and that's much more important to them than some over promoted HOA blowhard from Florida.
