That is waaaaaay too cohesive of a text.

Trump would never stay on one point for that long.

He used to purposefully change topics frequently to keep on bullshitting when he was less demented and now he just isn’t able to focus for long enough to talk about one topic for that long.

A now adult woman that was only 17 years old when the incident in question happened.

Which is clearly stated in the article that you willfully missquoted.

I don’t think that applies here.

The democrats oppose this spy tool because it is badly regulated and prone to abuse.
The Trump loyalists oppose this spy tool because it may expose some of Trumps crimes and treason.

So by your own claim you are part of the polytheistic church of Paul?
That just is not catholicism.
Which is so easy to prove because the catholics love to write down their many rules.

So I honestly would just answer right back at you:

FFS read a book.

And btw, while I have been an atheist for many years now, I was raised strictly catholic in a highly religious area by my catholic family that included a catholic nun and the headmaster of a catholic school and I intensively studied christianity before I made my break with this religion.

You can’t bullshit me.

Catholicism is the church of Paul, and isn’t strictly monotheistic, trinitarianism and unitarianism aside.

That is just plain wrong, no two ways about it.

To me it sounds like you listened to some protestant that doesn’t care much for the catholic church and just repeat his rant without questioning it much.

And don’t get me wrong, I couldn’t care less about christian infighting. I was just curious about the reasoning how the catholic church, which is one of the oldest and most “original” christian churches, could be considered not christian at all.
After your post I don’t believe there is much basis to this claim at all.

That is totally new to me.

Can you give me one or two of those many definitions for my understanding?

Obama was not a great president unless you mean only by comparison to his recent peers.

With what the fuck else do you want to compare him (or anything really) if not with recent peers?

I had success talking about the tortoise one with imaginary time stamps.

I think it gets more understandable that this pseudo paradox just uses smaller and smaller steps for no real reason.
If you just go one second at a time you can clearly see exactly when the tortoise gets overtaken.

That makes it wrong how?

Problem is, he never was a fat billionaire asshole.

He was a fat millionaire asshole pretending to be a billionaire (if even that, considering his debt).

Which is especially counter to his claims to be a good businessman considering he would have easily become a billionaire if he just invested his heritage in something like S&P 500 instead of playing mogul.

Who does he think bribery laws bind if not legislators?

Man how nice ranked choice would be, or even better a system like France’s or Germany’s.

Not that I disagree with you.

But even as a staunch Euro leftist, I think it is okay that there are people I strongly disagree with, even strongly dislike because I think the fight for values that are against my personal morality.

Both Romney and Cheney are such people.
I don’t think they should have political power over other people.

But they share at least a certain common ground with me that the fascists don’t.
And for how little I actually like those people, I still value this very difference.

This post is pure and unadulterated bullshit.

Germany didn’t go to Iraq with the US.
Germany will never stop supporting Ukraine.

You are full of shit.

I don’t know if I would call it really good, but if I were to ever write a novel the setting would be dark fantasy like somewhere between the middle ages and the modern times where most men of the protagonists society are about to come back from a long war, but they also bring back a mysterious illness.

The protagonists were just too young to have gone to said war, but maybe an older brother did go, maybe he fell idk.
At some point the father comes home, but what was supposed to be a happy occasion turns darker because he is changed by war.

There has to be some form of secret society that has something to do with the illness or the lack of a cure for the common people.
And the young protagonists will have to deal with that situation due to circumstances and not because they were chosen or secret princes or something like that.

And I am a sucker for happy endings so while the novel would be rather dark as a whole, the ending would see a dramatic change to society with at least the potential to get better.
I think times of change make for good fiction.

I will never write that novel though, but just maybe I might get to use the setting for a TTRPG campaign some day.

How so?

I have cooked with cast iron for years and have never cracked one.
I have destroyed a bit of seasoning, but surely not with mild dishsoap.

Normal modern dishsoap does not have any strong lye in it (and hasn’t for decades) and will not destroy a proper seasoning.
And obviously I don’t wash my pan while it’s ripping hot.

Usually I do my dishes after eating, sometimes the pan is completely cooled down, sometimes it is a bit lukewarm, I never had problems with either. If I can handle the pan with bare hands it is cool enough to wash with warm water.

Don’t spread outdated information.
The only thing this does is intimidate people from using cast iron at all and that’s just a shame.

I usually love to recommend non enameled cast iron pans.
Those are the pans I use most and I am pretty lazy myself.
Most times I just clean them with soapy water and a sponge, dry them well, rub a really really small splash of oil around in it and heat it back up until I see the first signs of smoke.

If even that is too much work (and you have a gas stove or similar) I would recommend a simple wok from any Asian store.
I have a glass stove top right now so I rarely use mine anymore, but if I had a gas stove I think that I would use it all the time.

Does it have to be the real hardware?

Because if you just want some nostalgia I am sure there are options for emulation.
