Don’t be obtuse - of course there is no one church of north america but you’d be insane to deny the level of influence of the largest sects of christianity on the day to day life and politics of Canada, the US, and Mexico. Catholic doctrine basically sets the policy for the ruling party in the US, and the soon to be…

I think people underestimate how uncomfortable (and damaging, in the long run, which I’m not sure qualifies here yet but it could if the mothers wishes to raise the child as a catholic always win) it is to hide a piece of who you are in order to smooth things over for the sake of other people. I know everyone rolls…

You can’t just ignore the cultural power of The Christian Church in North America though. There is way more baggage attached to it then just a silly man in a robe chanting things and sprinkling water on a baby would imply devoid of context. While I agree that I don’t think he’s being as honest with himself as he…

I think everyone that’s paying attention that isn’t a Trump voter is. Trump voters are probably cleaning their guns in anticipation of the civil war their Dear Leader keeps talking about.

No, the problem is a company posting 10's of billions of dollars of profit, spending billions buying back stock (which was illegal until recently), and paying their board members upwards of $40million each, is playing hard ball with the people who actually make the products that allows GM and the board to get rich.

There’s no UAW workers making millions.

50,000 people will make far better use of $2k/yr more in their pocket then a multi-millionaire will do with an extra few million. Also - GM clearly has cash if they can spend billions of stock buybacks that would have been illegal 20 years ago.

When does excessive C-Level compensation become overhead? Because from where I’m sitting it always looks like the last thing that gets cut.

Your bargain is acceptable. The compact has been made. You may proceed.

I didn't know anal piercing was a thing. Learn something new everyday. 

Dunno my friend - doesn’t seem like going to the center (or what remains of the center) has worked out very well for the country. We need to counteract the rightward pull of the nazisrepublicans if we are going to have any chance.

Steven universe is amazing wonderful entertainment.. and I don’t have kids.

Probably a place where people are tired of having their pronouns ignored and mocked? Just guessing though. It’s barely a step up over “Apache attack helicopter”.

Jesus fuck I was not prepared. I thought I was.. but I was not.

I’ve had mostly good AirBnb experiences - but did have a crappy one (not anything blood stained, just a host neglecting to mention that it was up 3.5 flights of the scariest steepest stairs I’d ever seen in my life, and the “bed” was essentially a dorm room ‘mattress’ on the floor) recently. Said fuck it and booked a…

Every game needs to have subtitle size scaling, along with just general world text scaling. When I pick up a book to read in an RPG, and the font is 8pt (and half the time on some sort of paper-texture background that makes it impossible to read) I just sigh and resign myself to missing all the lore in the game since…

Oh, JFC. In almost EVERY single one of these scenarios, it would be perfectly socially and professionally acceptable to say “Like I haven’t heard that 15 times today!” and flip the banter.

I always say sure, go ahead. It makes no difference to me, I’m not the one that has to justify it to a manager.

I have worked in IT for 15 years and I have just one things to say.

Cry harder. Your generation owns the government and most of the corporations and wealth on the planet. Your generation overwhelmingly votes conservative to the detriment of all of us and the planet. Maybe, instead of bitching about pissed off younger people you direct your energy to your friends who keep voting…
