You can tell what their true "religion" is by the fact that they hope Donald Trump - who is not Catholic - applies pressure on the Catholic Church to appoint a white man as Pope.
Can't say I'm sure how I feel about this, I am kinda anti-soda, candy and junk food, there's too much of it, and it's unquestionably bad for us, but who gets to decide what's bad for us?
I have an energy-limiting chronic illness and am looking for online places to chat to people when I’m too tired to leave the house and am feeling lonely.
A friend has recommended Discord, but I don’t really know where to start. Any tips for there or other online spaces?

"Now up to over 1,700 students who've had visas revoked for nonsense reasons, including things like a citation for catching too much fish, or speeding tickets.
This is the kind of thing that will damage US higher ed for generations.🚨 Who wants to come here and risk this?" -A Reichlin-Melnick
Trump is destroying everything in is zest for #retribution.
Nice that Spain is honoring Trump at their annual “Burning of the Judas” festival! All Republicans should be so honored! thelondoneconomic.com/politics…
First they came for the eggs, and I did not speak out... Because I was not at IHop. Then they came for the milk, and I did not speak out... Because I was neither Ben nor Jerry. Then they came for the food coloring, and I did not speak out... Because I don't eat cereal. Then they came for me... but I was already dead from starvation.
‘The #BBC presenter Evan Davis has been told he can no longer host a podcast about heat pumps due to the corporation’s concerns that discussing the technology risks “treading on areas of public controversy”’
Controversial to #FossilFuel industry and #Reform voters who are trying to kneecap anything that will help us avert #ClimateBreakdown.
‘Globally, 177 million #HeatPumps have been installed. China (33%) had the most installations, followed by North America (23%) and Europe (25%). ‘
‘Regarding regional market share, Asia Pacific dominated the heat pump market, accounting for 53.1% in 2022. This dominance is attributed to the availability of sizeable skilled labour at low cost’
UK is so far behind because of our rabid rightwing media.
‘An energy trade association that represents and promotes gas boilers and manufacturers is behind a barrage of negative press attacking #HeatPumps, DeSmog has learned.
Over the past two years, the Energy and Utilities Association (EUA) has paid a public affairs firm to generate hundreds of articles and interviews to lobby the UK government on energy policy.’

What a load of crypto-fascist political bullshit. It's just people talking about a useful technology. The #BBC is supposed to be informative/educational. There's little enough decent science and tech programming on the BBC these days without good stuff being deliberately blocked!! Bring back Tomorrow's World and Horizon! #science #tech #education
There is no culture war. There is a resource war disguised as a vibe war to keep the internet busy while the extractive class finishes loading the truck.
Busiest day of the week at work, nothing special there, except that I twisted my ankle yesterday. Real fun to hear/feel your ankle go pop, and came down hard enough to scrape a few of my knuckles as well. Good news is that my ankle seems to be mostly fine, no significant pain, carries weight fine, although it hurts on uneven ground. Was rather swollen last night, but I've been icing it since I got home yesterday. Big test will be how it holds up to the work load #today
Interesting, not entirely happy with this as I like my Discover card as it is, but this could get interesting, as Mastercard and Visa have a near monopoly control over credit card transactions.
Right now, if'n you buy something, it doesn't matter the bank on the card, nor the payment gateway the store uses, if'n it's a Mastercard or Visa, the transaction goes through their network, which is why they can force websites to restrict content. Capital One is one of the biggest credit card banks out there, so them switching networks is going to have a notable impact on MC and Visa, after all, those companies make money by charging a fee on every transaction, so C1 switching to Discover is going to take a lot of money away, and save C1 money as they won't have to pay for processing. Also since they collect interest on each account, they have a motivation to allow you to buy what you want to buy, so this might break MC and Visa's censorship.
Yeaaa it is a bolted 12900H. It is for a really great price. It's just that the stability is really concerning to me.
I plan to use it to run TrueNAS Scale. It does have an 8x PCIe 4.0 slot, but I plan to put an A380 only anyways. Then the iGPU should be decent on paper. So it ticks all the boxes, if it runs stable.
Now I want to make an "Only good nazi is a dead nazi" bumper sticker. (That I'd put on a magnet so I could remove it when necessary because...see "conservatives would send you death threats" above.)
Every post Reagan president, particularly since GWB and the Patriot Act, has chipped away at our access to the courts.
What did we think the next step was going to be once the FBI began to entrap Muslim men on bogus 'terrorist' plots and send them to Guantanamo indefinitely? Or once the US began to use rendition sites all over the world? Or when the US rewrote the rules about the use of torture?
Everything that the US said was ok to use on an 'enemy' was eventually absolutely going to be turned back on us.
How could we *not* think this was going to be next?

You know who is Catholic? Joe Biden.
