  • Israel Is Dropping 2,000-Pound Bombs on Densely-Populated Tehran, Reports Say

    Jump

  • You know how in the last few turns of Civilization, as the winner has become obvious you just start attacking every nation around you to use the military you've been building the entire game?

    That's where we're at

  • Cory Booker says Democrats have ‘failed this moment’ and calls for new leaders

    Jump

  • Yeah that was all practice for his upcoming imminent presidential bid.

    Don't worry he'll do the same thing to the people that came before him too.

  • Pope Leo says God rejects prayers of leaders who wage wars

    Jump

  • It does, and will continue to do so.

    The bishops responsible for ejecting the Pope are likely aware of this, and is by in large why Leo was chosen. The church really doesn't get to set the cultural trend as much as nudge it in a particular direction. It's the bumpers in a bowling alley, not the ball.

    People are going to find something they don't like,then seek justification for not liking it.

    Two dudes fuckin, ew! I would never do that that's so gross. Oh look, here's this passage in this book I like saying that's actually evil! Hell yeah!

    When it looks like 'Christians' cherry pick passages to support whatever nonsense they're on about, that's because they are, always have done so and always will. Because the nonsense was always more important to them than the Bible. It just so happens that the Bible says a lot of shit that's very easy to take out of context to support whatever nonsense you want.

    The Pope is reading the room, and providing justification. Or rather, the Cardinals elected a Pope that aligns with the current climate and he's just saying whatever God tells him to comes to mind. He might swing a few people but if he pushes too hard what he'll just alienate some Catholics and they might break off and do their own thing, again.

  • Being an American and a good person is contradictory, what with the numerous genocides throughout her history and all, that being one of them.

    I get what you're saying but it's hard to lay blame on a modern person for some shit a related group of people did 150 years ago. That's like saying it's impossible to be Irish and a good Catholic, what with the child slavery prisons, which are far more recent. Or that is impossible to be a Muslim and a good person, what with the things other Muslims have done in the name of God.

    You're responsible for you. Other people are responsible for themselves. Unless you happen to believe that every person is responsible for the sins of his father. Which, weirdly enough the Catholic Church does, but didn't happen to be involved in that particular genocide.

    Also, counterpoint, Mr Rogers. American, Christian, good person. Or Jimmy Carter.

  • Code compliant flag of the US

    Jump

  • Fun fact, prior to the stars being adopted, the Grand Union flag was literally just the British East India Company flag. Like, they didn't even have one made, they took one off a boat and said "this is ours now"

  • There's 102 stars.

  • Dammit!

  • I've never purchased a dog.

    I have had several dogs fail to find other homes after fostering them. In every case, the pound was more than happy to provide me with everything I needed to care for the dog, got it's shots and any treatment it needed, and then gladly signed the dog over to me for whatever I felt comfortable donating when I said I'd like to keep them. My first dog I gave them 5 dollars, which as the cash I had in my wallet, and the gal running bought me lunch and a beer out of her own pocket while I signed the paperwork.

    Foster dogs. Foster cats. Support your local pounds.

  • 200 cattle in a field will mostly just stand around and chill, they might get pissy about who gets to sit in the shade but they don't have to compete for water or food so they're cool with each other.

    100 dogs in a field will form in to small packs, compete for food and kill each other. This happens with as few as 20 dogs.

    Jump

  • Jim Pillen, pig fucker and governor of Nebraska, has known for a long time that pig semen cures cancer. On account of how much pig semen he has had on and in his body, and on account of how little cancer he's had.

  • Dolomites [OC]

    Jump

  • That scene is funny to me because of how relatively soft dolomite is. It's about half as hard as granite and many Egyptian statues are dolomite. Well. Dolomite Rock anyway which isn't much different, and is what Farnsworth is referring to anyway.

    [CW: Injury] A security vehicle plowed into protesting workers at Ust-Luga port in Russia after a shutdown due to UAV attacks.

    Jump

  • The ownership class does not take kindly to workers demanding what is rightfully theirs, and will resort to any tactic to keep them from obtaining it.

  • Assuming human civilization lasts this long, in a hundred years they're going to call this period the Resource Wars.

  • White House turns down Elon Musk’s offer to pay TSA workers during DHS shutdown

    Jump

  • Yes. They want to privatize every agency they can. They can't do that while the TSA is unionized. They're trying to starve the union out so they can gut the agency, put in private security and hand off control of the airways to a croney.
