Catholics do not believe in the Rapture. That is a Protestant, particularly American Protestant invention.

I love how hackable Kobos are. I put KOReader on mine and it's honestly just the best experience I could ask for.

I am sorry? There's a Velveeta fudge recipe!

Just the thought it is alone 🤮

Theres always adding visine to your abusive husbands coffee

Or there's going to be a lot more dead rapists.

No, I don't think you understand it fully. That's what the legal minorities and children are for. Ask rural folk over 60 if they had a job as a child and you'll got a Lt of answers like "I worked picking tomatoes when I was 10."

The rich get to go to private school, the poor get to sell their children off to robber barons. You would not believe how many parents out there are eager for this too. A good portion of the GOP are abusers that dont really care about their children and if they can force their children to go out and get a job so they can take their paychecks, they will.

That's why they are pro-birth and anti-education. This is why we still dont have year-round schooling because "traditionalists" want to be able to make use of child labor.

If you dont think it is coming, almost every red state has attemptdd to repeal their states child labor laws for agricultural and factory work.

Yeah, I use Lemmy on and off, especially since I deleted my Reddit. I hope the problem just goes away since there was nothing I did that I recall which would have caused it. Perhaps a bug report is in order. If it doesn't go away is a week or so I might put in some effort to migrate to KDE Plasma, but I would rather not.

Also I subbed to your taur community!

OH WOW! That's such a weird coincidence! Imagine the odds of that! /s

Of course they did. The thing is the way the law is written violates the Constitution by promoting an ideologically-loaded, outdated translation of the Bible used by more socially extreme groups.

• NRSV(UE) is the gold standard nowadays.
• Leather cover? Why? What's the point?
• The Founding Documents to the United States do not belong in a Bible. Not everything has to be tarnished with crass "Patriotic" grift.
• Just the Bill of Rights? The Amendments to the Constitution are legally part of the Constitution. What are they not included? Is there something in those Amendments they don't feel is appropriate?
• This Bible has consistent poor reviews on Youtube. A number of Bible collectors, theologians, pastors, etc have panned this book for being cheaply and poorly made. It has poor print quality, it's pages stick together, are thin, and rip easy.

It should be obvious to anyone this is an ideological grift and it is criminal graft too. These criminals need to be thrown in prison for this.

Things are weird too under Gnome rn. Check this out:

I genuinely don't know how to fix this one. It just started doing that one day and it doesn't matter if i use or dash-to-dock, dash-to-panel, etc. The spacebar extension wants to plop it right before the menu. It's mildly infuriating. I really, really wish Gnome would just let us configure the panels more similar to Plasma or Latte-Dock. I don't want to switch to KDE Plasma because I don't like most QT apps and honestly Breeze doesn't look good as libadwaita. Custom themes are super inconsistent in Plasma and it drives me a bit nuts. Tho, I heard the KDE team proposed a solution that might make things better in the next couple versions.

If I ended up on Plasma I'd have to exclude the majority of KDEs and add their Gnome equivalents XD

I wonder if that would work... 🤔

You can even still launch Slackware from DOS!

Noticing the cheese is what made me realize whoever did it, did it with some thought behind it and that's a little scary. XD

Thats because back then you got a paid lunch and in the 1990s companies stopped offering that and said it was a boon to workers because "you can leave the property for lunch" and other excuses like "liability" and such.

Now workers have to stay an extra hour and dont get paid for that time.

If I see a sign in a business whining about workers or people not wanting to work, I will straight up leave and go somewhere else. Tells me everything I need to know about how the owner treats their workers.

It's newspeak for "I don't want messages that I disgree with in my media."

Just like when conservatives complain about something being "political" they mean "progressive" and by progressive I mean "they saw a minority."

It's a way of saying something without saying it.

Al Capone didn't go to prison for operating a racket or any of the numerous murders he committed or was involved with. He went to prison for tax evasion. This might be the closest we get to him ever being held accountable and I'll take it. Hopefully the court understands this and gives him the maximum sentence knowing the context of his actions.

It's a bit disappointing, but that's just how things work.

Also, given that Trump has been comparing himself to Al Capone recently in his speeches, this is quite hilarious outcome.

If it isn't pedophilia it's something else: beating their wives, their children, other forms of abuse such as neglect. The GOP literally has attempted numerous times to revoke age of consent laws, laws against child marriage, and child labor laws.

Conservative parents are outspoken about their "right" to abuse their kids through depriving them of necessity or beating them.

The GOP is a party of domestic abusers.

Except when it doesn't happen:

• Bush II did not win the election, he was appointed before the recounts were even tallied.
• Trump was appointed to the presidency after losing the election in 2016 to Hillary Clinton by the Electoral College. Hilary won by 3M votes or 2% of the vote.

Literally two presidents during my lifetime failed to win the popular vote and every time this occurred it was to the benefit of a largely unpopular political party who used technicalities built into the Constitution to overturn the democratic will of the people. Funny how it never has worked in the opposite direction, almost as if it was built-in with that idea in mind.

We do not have a democracy, we have a sham system that puts the interests of business before the interests of people.

That's the entire Right. You cannot win them on the grounds of good-faith, truthfulness, or humanity because their politics is solely about power. Conservative politics are the politics of abusers—litterally everything they wish to "conserve" within society includimg "tradition" is their freedom and ability to abuse. That's it:

Family values is not about creating healthy families, it is about patriarchy and the right of the parents to abuse their children.

Defending the sanctity of marriage is about defining LGBTQ people out of legal rights and entitlements.

School choice is about controlling what ideas not just their children are exposed to but their neighbors as well.

Etc. Etc.

Every conservative position is a bad faith push to further their ability to control the lives others and their ideas deserve neither respect nor a platform.

Most conservatives are pedophiles or other abusers. Abuse is what they are conserving.
