‘Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?’

It’s that gosh-darn problem with facts having a liberal bias again.

Doesn’t matter. They’d sign on with the Devil himself as long as they got what they wanted. I mean, this is the religion that spawned the Inquisition and the Crusades. Being horrible for ‘their cause’ is nothing new.

Have you seen pictures of the female Nazi concentration camp guards? Most of those photos are of 25-35-year-old women. Evil and cruelty are indeed very aging.

Or just walk through an old graveyard. There’s a pioneer cemetery near my old place with so many children’s graves. One family gravesite has the mother’s name, the father’s name, a couple of their kids, some young, some adults… and one is just titled ‘babies’.

Like, so many babies died for that mother and father they just put them all in one grave, not even names to remember them by…

They’re doing it too much though. Lots of onroads are being forced to work 10-14 hour days, multiple days in a row. They cut support staff so those few people have to do more.

And they’re not firing/retaining by who does a good job or who has more skills. They’re doing it randomly. One guy I know, one of the best dispatchers in his center, got kicked out because they drew lots on who to fire.

Men who are inferior to their fellow men, are always most anxious to establish their superiority over women. -Mary Wollstonecraft

Although, I bet if those racist assholes took DNA tests many of them would find they did have some African-American blood, especially if they were from the South.

It’s a play on two things: parents threatening ‘consequences’ if kids roughhoused on the bed, and telling kids not to throw rocks at/antagonize hornet nests (both of which kids would often do anyways).

I mean, since this is Death cosplaying as the Hogfather to keep the Hogswatchnight magic alive, technically you’re both correct.

It’s a lot easier to blame things than to fix them.

Did you feel left out not getting one?

Speaking as a woman, you’re definitely an insufferable cunt.

This person helpfully provided links.

Also, the ASPCA says it doesn’t work. You know, the guys who’s job it is to look after the health and safety of pets?

Give me actual long-term scientific studies that say cats can go vegan and we can talk. Otherwise, we’re done.

It doesn’t work. No study shows it does, save for a few poorly-done ones paid for by vegan think-tanks, and even those are ambiguous. Maybe one day we will manage it, but right now we can’t.

The problem here is they need specific molecules. A vegan diet does not give cats those correct necessary molecules.

Okay, so this is just factually wrong.

Putting oxygen in a tank is necessary for the health of the fish. Feeding a cat meat is necessary for the health of the cat.

It’s also a false equivalence.

There is no workaround for oxygenating fish tanks; we don’t find something that ‘might work as well as oxygen’ according to poorly done studies. We just give them oxygen, the thing they actually need to live.

Wow, downvoting a serious medical condition. Some people need to touch grass.

Oh for… that’s not the law they passed. The law they passed banned school lunches, and they did nothing to address child hunger to make up for it. I would say they most certainly want kids to starve.

And if your take overall is ‘that person’s actions/beliefs are fine as long as they only impact people they don’t know’ that’s… not great. To quote Calvin & Hobbes, ‘we’re all ‘someone else’ to someone else’.

Counterpoint: the number of black people who the KKK murdered.

That man took his life in his hands talking to them. There is no doubt that he was brave, and made a difference, but there is also no doubt that in doing so he put himself in mortal danger.

So 1. no-one should be obligated to do something risky like that, especially a member of the group that is most at risk, and 2. it is perfectly valid to judge and, shall we say, dislike, someone who approves of an even acts on abhorrent beliefs.

There are lines.
