was that the one where they made him drink bleach or am I thinking of a different one?
And not wearing deodorant, or slathering yourself in shitty cologne. It's the nasal equivalent of music blasting. Deport them too.

Do they breed to create a superhuman subrace?
Yes BUT, we're not as connected to 20 other cucked countries. Let's say they did try to fix things in spain say. Well now France is fucked right? And the people can all travel and smuggle stuff from just across the sea right?
Australia is not doing well, but its distance from europe and the ME/north africa gives it some advantages.
Eric Garner died in a similar manner in 2014 and was an infinitely more sympathetic victim (killed for selling loose cigarettes and not paying a tax on them, WTF?), yet there was nothing like the Fentanyl Floyd protests. I guess it was "right time, right place" for Floyd.
Slate star codex/Scott alexander has a good essay on why. https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/17/the-toxoplasma-of-rage/
It's got nothing to do with timing, there was another death right around the same time as Garner (the Brown-Fergeson thing) which did get some protests and traction. Not quite as big as Floyd, but pretty big. But Eric didn't. Why then if not timing? It's precisely because Gardner was sympathetic and because and even those on the right would agree 'yeah that's a bit much' that his cause was mostly useless to the left. You can't signal to your insane commie ingroup how 'virtuous' you are for supporting Eric Garner, because everyone already agrees it was unfair and maybe worth protesting over, even fox news is muttering that it was too much, poor Eric. This makes it useless for its true purpose, sorting and signalling. It only gets tacked-on to the Brown case and Ferguson riots as 'another example' of police brutality to help lend it credibility, as a rhetorical attack. Same way that Breonna Taylor was used in the Floyd discussions (not that she was perfectly innocent, but that case is far muddier, more akin to Garner's)
And then along comes Floyd. Now here is a useful display of my leftist credentials. Only an true believer would look at this piece of shit and care. So he's perfect. That's why Floyd kicked off, precisely because he was scum.
Look at the incentives, and remember they are evil and seeking to signal to other sick degenerates how evil they are. That's why Brown and Floyd became big things while Garner didn't. Garner never could no matter when it happened. It had to be someone like Floyd. Yes timing will affect the magnitude of the rioting, but it can never be over a case like Garner's.

Heh
I am sick and tired of being lied to in my face. "hurr durr inflation is only 2.3%"
They tripled the money supply AND reduced all the supply of goods and services. Inflation from that will be at least 200%. The only reason it wasn't that immediately was that velocity also plummeted as everything shut down and people stopped buying things.
It's the most obvious lie, yes.
Look into how they calculate CPI. It's not a stable basket of goods, instead, as good meat and fresh veg become too expensive, what happens is people shift to shit cuts of meat and ramen/rice, products which are cheaper and/or which haven't had the inflation hit them so hard. Which then means they stop weighting meat so heavily in their CPI calculations because people are buying less of it. The inflation is there, but the way they calculate it is designed to hide it.
Weights are fair to a point. If there's a huge cyclone that hits queensland and all bananas here are 3x the normal price, sure, take them out of the calculation for that year. And sure, horse-buggies aren't exactly a huge portion of most people's spending anymore while home computers are. It's fair to occasionally re-evaluate the basket weights. But they way they have it set up will automatically hide inflation.
Yeah, the US nuked the catholic cities,
It’s great to see these more pro-Catholic posts continue into his presidency. We had the Michaelmas post, a few others, and now Palm Sunday. Not just Christmas and Easter. Does he have some Catholic or Catholic-adjacent or orthobro advisor or something?
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Doesn't mean it's good, there is that risk. But it's better.
No, I’m satisfied that your argument was countered and your questions answered. I’m not going to play those games, you were clearly making an argument through that line of questioning.
He allowed the temple to fall, and the ark to fall into enemy hands and become lost. Usually when the people fell to sin and rebellion right?
Your argument also falls down when you realise people arguing about it when they were first removed could have made the exact same argument, but against their removal. And we still can when looking at time. He’d allow it to be wrong throughout most of church history?
the old law books near the beginning (Leviticus, Numbers) are easy to get bogged down in and don't really add much for a first time reader.
Great point. Reading it from genesis to revelations is not the best way to start and those law books and the genealogies and the cubit measurements all near the start puts many people off. Those can wait, if it means reading more of it, read other books first.
Start with Mathew or Luke imo, they have more of Jesus’s teachings compared to Mark. John gives a more literary and mystical take compared to the other 3, the synoptic gospels, go for that next.
Douay-Rheims is the old og catholic translation, from before the kjv, by a few years* (the modern one most buy is an update of this of course)
It has the dueterocannonical books like Tobit (Tobias), which some prots call the ‘apocrypha’ (calling it that helps them to justify to themselves their taking out books of the bible I guess). Doesn’t include Jubilees, that one is truely apocryphal. It also has some old naming and follows the organisation of the original Septuagint (the og Greek translation), so that some of the psalms (after psalm 10 IIRC) are numbered 1 lower, until nearly the end.
I think the Douay Rheims is very important but it’s clunky in the same way the kjv is. If you’re wanting the easiest of reads, this isn’t it. But its old, predates the modern nonsense, includes all the books the faithful had been using since the beginning*. There’s a lot to be said for having it be one of your main bibles.
There’s a nice side-by-side version of it with the Latin vulgate from baronius press.
yeah, better post it on facebook.
oh shit, it's time to panic then.
ok boomer.
yeah I heard that growing up for sure. It was common at least.
No, it should be spent on both. We must retake the whole of Christendom.
