You know, with that perspective it makes perfect sense now. They want the priests to do exactly that, supposedly originally to prevent bloodline dynasties, but who can really say given the secretive nature of so much shit they do at the highest levels. So if the priests can do it as an act of supposed devotion, so should every random gay person.

Meanwhile we see the priests that have devoted their lives to the church definitely cannot manage to do that, so expecting random people to is fucking ridiculous.

Forgiveness is a requirement because actually abiding by the rules is impossible. It is designed that way so you’re obligated to seek forgivenes and stay within the church’s influence.

Everything gets washed on permanent press as well. Nearly everything you buy is synthetic fibers or polyester blends now anyway.

All platforms are notorious for that. Moderation is expensive, and consistent free user moderation is extremely hit or miss, mostly miss.

Unless you have enough admins dedicated to moderating every community regularly, like weekly at a bare minimum, shit will get out of hand in the places they don’t visit.

For places the size of Discord, Facebook, Reddit, Lemmy, YouTube, etc. that’s just not feasible without an army of paid moderators. User submitted reports are only useful if the users aren’t partaking, and that’s the first tier of nearly every online moderation system because few companies could even consider staffing a moderation team even remotely large enough to begin to tackle that problem.

Church towers being used for cell sites are extremely common. Usually they’re designed to blend on a bit more though.

A lot cheaper than building a separate tower, and the church usually gets a reliable lease payment for providing the space.

Yous be surprised.

And this is clearly on a door to a card shop. Magic tournaments are infamous for individuals that have terrible hygiene.

Neutral good makes the most sense.

Any documents work better on a vertical screen. Same with websites with things like articles and game guides.

Insisting on using a system that is well documented to make shit up out of nowhere just means you’re both lazy and a poor decision maker.

Especially when there’s no inherent gain from its use like corporate executives solely trying to reduce their biggest expense (payroll) without any other consideration.

I didn’t even think about it that much.

They obviously didn’t either.

I figured it was designed that way so people don’t make that specific turn, meaning it wasn’t actually intended to be a full roundabout. But instead of bothering to pay for any sort of infrastructure in the middle to physically prevent it, they thought painting lines would be enough.

Or die in an El Salvadorian or other similar prison complex from starvation, lack of medical care, etc.

Honestly surprised as we… they’re disappearing people without due process or notice to their families, being arrested for shooting an agent means you get due process.

That is November 1st here in AZ.

Everyone here talking about the background being mirrored and the hat not, talking AI, subtle angle differences but ignoring lens distortion, editing, etc.

Selfies are usually mirrored unless flipped in post processing. His shirt looks to be mirrored as well, so… the simplest answer… The hat that says weird, is just embroidered backwards… Because that would be weird, a beanie with the word weird spelled backwards.

You don’t need to look for a complicated answer when there’s a simple one staring you in the face.

Oh they respond to that stuff fast. But generic dimming lights, in a neighborhood built in the 1960s with old wiring… The frontline customer service staff almost surely thought it was generic complaining about something like a large power draw starting up in the home, like the AC kicking on and dimming the lights just a bit for a second. Not an actual power infrastructure issue.

That assumes no one did. Utilities in my area don’t give a crap as long as service is still functional.

We had to call and complain about lights dimming for over a year before the power company actually sent someone out to take a look. The guy climbed the pole to look at the transformer and came back white as a ghost. The transformer was right next to a massive nearly dead tree, and he had some sort of bar in his hand and explained that it was supposed to have bumps on it, but it was smooth, melted, and it had been so hot he had to let it cool down before he could remove it. He said it could have exploded at any point, probably taking the entire neighborhood with it given the rural area with a lot of natural desert brush. Said he was glad we kept calling and insisting about the issue.

A box hanging around without affecting service is almost aurely a low priority item.

A great example of why you should never trust any story from a single source. Traditional journalism ethics requires multiple independent sources. Modern organizations don’t give a shit about that anymore, it’s just about the clicks.

No one knows. I honestly can’t believe the original post isn’t intended to point out the absurdity of these anti-DEI assholes.

The “fixed” version also looks transmasc, not that that’s a bad thing, just ironic if the post wasn’t intended to be a caricature.

Normally I’m with you, but I won’t deny this one happened. There are two different reasons though.

1. He was fucking with them.
2. New Yorkers are crazy. And the ones willing to stop and talk are obviously even more unhinged.

Sugar itself doesn’t, I’ve never seen a study showing an actual link between the two. It’s instead excitement to getting something special, not the sugar causing a chemical reaction. Causation and correlation are different.
