You’re not the super-best defender of your faith
I’ll agree to that. I am just a guy. Nothing special about me. I don’t even know why anyone would care about my opinion about anything at all.
Are you sincerely interested in being a disciple of Jesus, conforming your life to his teachings in every way, and spending time each day with Christ in mental prayer, walking with him through his ministry, his passion, his death, and his resurrection? Do you want all this and consider that the Catholic Church only part-way meets this end?
Or do you find it convenient to try to disparage Catholics simply because you do not like some of the things the Catholic Church promotes and you find it convenient to argue we are lacking in our own ideals?
Your answer shapes how I think about how to best give a reply to your concerns. What do you want your relationship with Jesus to be?


We already have military bases in Greenland and I’m sure their government would be willing to let us do just about anything reasonable for us to do. The situation is adequate for defense and economic opportunities. This is about ego. I don’t want Greenland to be part of the US. I want them to do their thing and continue to be a great neighbor.


Did he remove his microphone? That’s the first thing I do with every new computer, physically remove the microphone. Microphones pick up much more data than cameras.

I’m not from Washington State, so I’m not familiar with the particular issues and you do state “I don’t really care to have an answer…” so I probably am not going to be much help to you but I do want to recognize that the Catholic Church is not a single-issue organization. The purpose of the Catholic Church is the salvation of souls and what makes salvation is a function what is good. Her idea of good is established by teaching handed down through the ages, from the time of the Apostles (or before), along with the aid of certain respected philosophers and theologians.
You do not like the Church’s interference in political issues related to gender but I suspect you have no problem with the work the Church is doing for immigrants during their difficult time. The Church can focus on more than one issue. It is impossible to take a stance on something and not offend someone. You are upset at the Church on gender issues. Others are upset at her providing food and sleeping bags to the homeless who live in the local park. If someone has a problem with these works, that’s just too bad. The Catholic Church isn’t going to stop being Catholic to gain favor with one person or another.


the code required to move the taskbar to the top or sides isn’t actually in Windows 11, because Microsoft created the new taskbar from the ground up
Funny, I run a script on my work computer that let’s me move it. I like it on the top.


Looks like you finally finally left your room: https://kotaku.com/esports-gamer-reportedly-leaves-hotel-room-a-horrible-mess-after-two-year-stay-2000654662
With how much time you spend online, it cannot be far from the truth.
If you did any amount of research on me, you would see I’ve got 11 kids of my own and have enough going on that I cannot spam the internet all day long. You really should log out and work on meeting a girl, get some sunlight, and step outside your bubble. You are a fun adversary but I’m starting to worry about you.


Europe and East Asia have been looking for policies to improve demographics. Nobody has a workable plan.


That’s one of your better photos. Keep it up, someday you’ll find a girl.


The capital you rely on in your argument has a asymptote, and as China approaches this line, growth will happen at a diminishing rate. How much technical progress can they squeeze out of the tube? Is it enough to deal with demographic collapse? Probably not.


China also has a huge gender imbalance. All those excess men count differently than men in other countries with a balanced gender dynamic. Also, China’s demographics (according to the website) do not compare favorably to the US. That said, it’ll be India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria and places like this that production shifts to as China ages.


We are also seeing peak China. Their demographic problems will be a severe drag going forward. It’ll be a multi-power world, not a Chinese hegemony.


On another platform, someone claimed he was maronite christian. I guess I’ll have to wait until someone asks him in an interview. 🤷


Once they make it a habit of destroying ships in the Russian shadow fleet, availability of crews and insurance will dry up, further reducing Russian economic power, pushing Russia closer to the tipping point. Ukraine doesn’t need to destroy them all, just make it so most ships are unwilling to do Russia’s business.


How did this person’s life work out? I would love to hear more about that story.
Which communities do you most recommend or enjoy?


Unless you are Russia, North Korea, China, or similarly aligned, it is in your interest that Ukrainian men be in Ukraine defending their country. If you are in Ukraine, it is in your interest that they be returned to fight. If you are on the front lines, you damn well have the expectation that they be made to join you on the front lines. It doesn’t matter what these men want. It matters what they will be made to do. And the pressure needs to be turned up to send them back to Ukraine to fight. Call it what you want but, in a just war, conscription is morally just, and pulling men back home to join in the defense of the county is morally just.


If you are also a US citizen, I encourage you to write your senators too.


Immigration lawyers have raised concerns that those deported to Ukraine could be conscripted to fight in the war.
They should be. This isn’t an optional or unjust war for Ukraine to fight. Every capable man should be returned so they can fight.
It was ISIS and Nigeria asked him to do it.
