Absolutely, I grew up in a NYC Irish Catholic family, and it was as much about being Irish-American as it was about being Catholic, and it was similar with all of the Italian Catholics that were married into the family or that I grew up with.
Now I have far too many family members and friends replacing Jesus with Donald fucking Trump, and it sickens me. I’m also non-practicing, I’ve moved onto Agnosticism trending very close to outright Atheism, but I at least respect the humanistic aspect of “the teachings of Jesus”, Trump is anything but humanistic, he’s much more opportunistic, I’m not sure how these deluded people could confuse the two.
So are you posting for you or for us? Because from that statement you just sound like you’re posting it for yourself.
Also it’s a bad joke if people don’t get it and you have to explain it, that’s why internet etiquette exists and why you should have used the “/s”, because we can’t read your corny ass mind over the Internet to get your lame joke, and we shouldn’t be expected to.
Sarcasm does not translate well in text, its got nothing to do with the Internet in general, tone and inflection are essential to conveying sarcasm, and neither are available through text.
Next time Mark it with “/s” and it will save you some time.
I’m sure we’re barely scratching the surface of what “Uncle Cheeki” and people like him don’t understand.

Living in the American South this is pretty plain to see, however in the American Northeast Catholics are starting to do the same, which hasn’t been the norm until recently and even the Pope has noticed.
My thoughts on it are that Right wing corruption affects everything it touches, the religious leaders wanted to batter down the wall separating church and state, and now many of them are losing their congregants to congregations that are lining up behind their new Orange Joseph Smith, because politics and religion are now intersecting within the Right wing. The MAGA Qult isn’t going away anytime soon, the Global Right Wing conspiracy is implementing their state religions and unless we increase mental healthcare and deprogram these individuals we’re going to have a religious extremist insurgency.
I’ll leave you with this quote from Barry Goldwater:
Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.
Except we’re not just dealing with Christian Nationalists, we’re dealing with Islamic and Hindu nationalists, and simply Chinese Nationalists and other fascists, all working together to carve out their own territories.
Cartel town maybe? There’s probably some pretty surprising levels of corruption going on there.
So the town basically hired a gang of thugs to be their police while they extort travelers in their jurisdiction, sounds like a 70’s or later action movie/show like Dukes of Hazzard, Billy Jack, or Rambo.
Hopefully the main character shows up and kicks all of their asses and we all get a happy ending. (Meanwhile in reality they will just keep getting away with it because of the way Texas is ran and qualified immunity)
The town is probably a ticket trap or they make way too much money off of civil asset forfeiture, it all sounds shady AF.
Cables are low build quality these days, the last couple of Anker hubs I’ve had failed within a year, I know they make a ton of stuff but that’s what I mostly buy from them.
Belkin has been overpriced and poor quality for a while, Anker seems like they’re getting that way too, anyone have any similar electronics companies that still have some build quality?
Then there’s the pastor that said the fires and floods were “the gays” fault, and then his home was flooded.
Dropping SMS support made it almost completely unusable with most of my contacts, but also they’re trying to become a social media company, as if we needed another one of those.
It would be nice to have something Fedi to replace Signal, now that Signal dropped SMS support and seem to be trying to become the next WhatsApp/Discord.
Government shills exist too, Ruzzia, China, Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, India, US, UK, ans others have them to one extent or another. These shills operate either as members of their nations military, government, intelligence apparatus, or their state run Mafia (Ruzzia in particular on this point), or they work for contracted corporations, like the company Edward Snowden was working for when he discovered the data that he decided to whistleblow for us, Booz, Allen, Hamilton , or like Cambridge Analytica or Black Cube.
Shilling on the internet should be illegal, sock puppets are a form of social control, and an aspect of social engineering, anything that contributes to brainwashing should be made illegal to combat all the dis/misinformation and propaganda problems we see on the Internet and media.
No it was definitely real, but Danny Devito’s portrayal of the event was freaking hilarious, watching Frank lose his mind in pain from a vibrating butt plug was not something I ever expected, that whole scene had me hysterical laughing.
As the cousin of a NY public librarian, fuck mayor Adams, but for so many more reasons than this.
Stop voting cops in as mayor’s, because at the end of the day they’re still just corrupt cops.
