Every single consecrated Catholic altar contains a relic of a saint. Usually they’re pretty small, maybe a piece of a fingerbone or something. You’re right that a good one like this would bring in lots of pilgrims (tourist dollars,) but it’s a tradition that way predates capitalism.

I’m not in the business of defending the Catholic Church or capitalism, just wanted to clarify.

Duh. Everybody knows the only thing that works is Velostat. You cannot use any other material.

This sounds exactly like Boeing (and a hundred other large corps.)

We don’t know what kind of equipment those ladies are working with…

I read a brochure at my local butcher shop. The chickens they sell are put in crates and gassed to death. Supposedly pretty easy on the animals. This seems much more efficient than individual submersible trips.

“X” is such terrible branding that every news article always has to do what you suggest, otherwise people don’t know what the hell is being discussed.

Sancerre, for sure.

I think it’s telling that they acknowledge that the stuff their bots churn out is often such garbage that training their bots on it would ruin them.

No, crypto is never the solution for anything. Its use cases are limited to drugs and scams, which are sometimes the same things.

Cyber truck buyers are Elon worshipping tech bros, which means that they think they are smarter and better than everybody else. This leads to acts of hubris like the above picture, which are obviously very stupid and easy to see coming, but these types of people think, “I am very smart and know exactly what I am doing at all times. This will be fine, because I am doing it.”

That probably voids the entire warranty or something ridiculous like that.

Hey, we found one!

Not seriously, “men’s rights activists” are a specific group of people that only exist to complain about and hate women. They don’t care about men’s rights, they are anti-feminists.

If you genuinely didn’t know this, then I’d love to know what Internet rock You’ve been hiding under. If you’re trying to concern troll, fuck off, MRAs are fucking scum.

-signed, a man.

In the US, you can get a pretty decent ebike $1,500-1,800. I wouldn’t even consider them a luxury in many parts of the country, because we so often have to share the roads with cars.

Fuck openai

I think the real reason that Koch foundation, etc al, funded her campaign until last week was still that they’d have somebody qualified in case it’s rolled that Trump is ineligible.

This guy essentially founded modern “rationalism.” He has millions of literal followers, not just the Twitter kind. His dumbass is the one that spawned the Effective Altruism cult that has become extremely popular with tech bros. Sam bankman-fried, Sam Altman, Elon musk all subscribe to this “philosophy.” It’s all batshit insane and incredibly stupid.

Yeah, there’s usually more than one of these going on at once. Makes it easier to pivot if they get called out for it being nonsense.

There’s always an element of racism running as an undercurrent, so you can pick your Boogeyman du jour, be it Muslims/Arabs (they don’t differentiate,) central/south American immigrants, black lives matter, CRT, DEI, etc.

Then you can add some kind baseless moral outrage on top. Trans people existing, gay people wanting to get married, satanic panic, etc.

It’s really like a fear cake, I guess.

When your father was a Nazi, you overthrew democratically elected governments in central and South America, and your son is a war criminal in the middle east.

The NFL doesn’t own the teams. The teams, collectively, own the NFL.

I have a friend that is a sales manager for private planes. He said business exploded during the pandemic and then never slowed down. This despite flights being eye-wateringly expensive (like, 20k for one-way is a great deal, because you managed to book an empty leg.)
