pope francis died in april. a month before this in march, SNAP (survivors of clergy sexual abuse) called for investigations into Prevost.
In a letter dated March 25, Shaun Dougherty, president of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), submitted documentation to the Holy See’s Secretariat of State and three additional dicasteries, asserting that Cardinal Prevost’s handling of abuse allegations raises grave concerns under Pope Francis’ accountability norms set by Vos estis lux mundi.

side note, because it still irks me: Conclave was such a great movie in isolation, but in the real world I hate how it presents a Catholic Church that clearly doesn't exist. fuck that entire institution
that dude's masculinity was so fragile no way he'll turn and run for his life. he gotta be a big macho man and tough boy act of "do it"
when i get food, most/all of the time it's from places i've been before and know.
boring or whatever to "not try new things", but i've been burned so many times from overpriced, subpar food that i just don't care. unless i've got a trusted friend vouching for the restaurant, i'm gonna stick to the familiar, reliable spots.
It is amazing how you can justify your complicity in the genocide by purity testing the only party that you had a chance of getting to listen to you.
it was really cool when the Congressional Democrats gave ICC arrest warrant for genocide Netanyahu roughly 59 standing ovations when he came to Congress back in July
sorry were you making an actual point or no?
maybe would have listened or at least been milder in her support than what you allowed to happen.
this sentence is about Trump, right? there's no fucking way you believe this about Harris
But did not voting make it any better for Palestine?
there's ZERO difference in the policy. Trump at least got the temporary ceasefire deal done, no matter how temporary. And Trump saying the quiet part out loud is pissing a lot of people off and waking more and more people up about the issue.
Economy?
the economy has been FUCKED since 2008. it NEVER recovered. we really really really need to stop conflating the "economy" with the stock market. we aren't billionaires. ffs.

Human rights? / International relations?
depends tbh. i don't think the US becoming a pariah state is necessarily a bad thing. perhaps people will stand up against US supported/funded genocide more? other atrocities the US supports/does regularly as well.
complaining about human rights abuses within US borders is way too hypocritical for me. don't complain when your exported totalitarianism that you supported/ignored comes home. i fucking tried to you stupid liberals they'd bring it home and turn it against you.
General fucking common sense and decency?
jfc... optics above everything else? Biden and Trump are both did/doing genocide. Biden was better though because he was more polite about it?????? sorry but fuck off
i always knew they'd scan for words/phrases in your posts then feed you shit based on same. soccer, tried a new recipe, planning a trip, beach vacation soon, moving in, running, iphone, just got new ps4, engaged, etc.
this is fucking wild though.
post an update when you see the old soy sauce if yous don't die of disentiry
i think they're worth watching just so you can see how bad they are and how much disney fumbled the bag by hiring the worst people imaginable to write/direct the garbage.
it really shines how much they finally "got it" by hiring Tony Gilroy to come in to fix/salvage Rogue One before letting him loose with Andor - arguably the greatest Star Wars ever made that's on par with the originals.
it has been 0 minutes since my last dark urge incident
fuck any recession, i've been avoiding all of it because the shit is fucking expensive. profit-maximizing disguised as inflation since 2020 has been stupid
Taco Bell is on a roll. The Yum Brands chain posted a U.S. comp sales increase of 9% in its most recent quarter. ... "exceptional value across income levels, with the $5 Luxe box becoming a massive win with low-income consumers."
yah, no shit. the only major chain i still go to because you can at least find things that are affordable / not insanely expensive.
i will always bend the knee to Lady Llyana Mormont of House Mormont
this thread has all the jams in it. random mention: Ultima Online specifically UO Outlands private free server. it's unreal how gorgeous the game is still to this day. styled graphics/prerendered age so so so so well.
i just finished a playthrough of bg2 maybe three months ago? game is so good.
more modern game, but pillars of eternity 1&2 are stupid good too. the atmosphere/setting of poe1 is unparalleled and the voice acting of both is the best in the business.
NOX!!!!!
god damn i loved that game growing up.
just two stories to hopefully help you. tldr is time and self-improvement/self-care.
first rough break up. they weren't in my life but always in my mind. that sort of thing. even with new relationships.
6 years went by. i grew a lot. marx, chomsky, lenin, bakunin, pannekoek, etc.
randomly at a house party they were at. a group of us were sitting talking everything going on in the world at the time, local election, etc. they kept interrupting the conversation with their friend to talk about shallow boring nonsense.
needless to say i realized they were... not special for me anymore and frankly just fucking lame.
second hard break up i kept them in my life as a friend. big mistake, whatever. honestly they were just using me for company until soemthjing else better came along. whatever. i was at a music festival with them and the festival was fucking wild and fun but they were so pissy the entire time. i was like, "wow this person actually sucks holy shit."
mom said it's my turn to negotiate with trump
