That’s horrible! You guys need to cut the personality cults out.

I had to pass through US customs on my way home (layover in JFK). Bastards have portraits of Trump and Noem on the fucking wall.

According to the article, the context for the flashy headline is that all Catholics are children of God and that all must be treated with compassion, while still acknowledging that pedophiles are monsters.

I will not pretend that Francis’s hands are totally clean. He has mistreated abuse cases in the past. Around 2019 he actually started implementing some reforms that have to some extent helped. While I don’t think he did enough, he did much more than his predecessors. I highly suspect the next pope will be another Benedict and not another Francis. Consequently, I suspect that the mishandling will get worse.

He was an alright Pope in the end. Not a soulless bastard like Benedict.

Hot take: the NSA getting dissolved would be a win

What’s a sheepdog in this context? Did he mean that they’re like wolves in sheep’s clothing? If that’s the case then yeah I was wrong and he’s anti-Bernie, which is indeed pretty dumb.

I don’t think he’s anti-Bernie. He’s certainty quite anti-Dem.

Looking through their history, they don’t seem to be a tankie. ClassStruggle keeps talking about forming a left party in the USA and running for elections, which is a bit too reformist to be a classic tankie.

In any case, they’re right in this case. The Democrats expend way more energy during the elections fucking over anyone on the left than they do actually resisting the fascists.

One of my friends is a type I diabetic. He had some sort of smart thingamajig in his teenage years for measuring blood sugar, so you could monitor it over time or warn your family if you’re in some critical situation.

The jester may mean simply to prank, but they may well have blood on their hands if they fuck up medical devices such as that one.

A boycott or strike with an end date is seldom effective.

Protectionism only really makes sense if you’re a country without native industrial capacities and trying to industrialise. Even that is debatable.

Russia used to be a major world power with highly developed heavy industry and okay-ish light industry. A lot of that has been poorly maintained since the fall of the USSR but the factories are still there. Protectionism makes little sense here.
