@Rothmus Imagine believing the US is a republic and not a plutocracy

Imagine believing Iran is a republic

Richard Dawkins can't determine if a computer is alive but he's absolutely certain there's no God Make it make sense

@bestinclassyt I thought the Red Ring of Death was really rare too until it happened to my first XBox 360 four years after I bought it

This was way more rare than people admit. Neither me, or any of my friends ever got the red ring.

@MarioNawfal I wouldn't been surprised if the CIA were funding ISIS rebels in Mali

🚨🇲🇱🇷🇺 Unconfirmed reports are emerging that the town of Gourma-Rharous in Mali has been retaken in a joint operation by Russian Africa Corps forces and the Malian Armed Forces. If accurate, this would be a meaningful counter to the narrative that's been building all week. After Russian mercenaries surrendered to Tuareg rebels in Kidal and walked out of the base alive while leaving their Malian partners trapped behind, the story of the African Corps was that the mercenaries had become the runners. A successful retake of Gourma-Rharous would be the first sign that the Russian-Malian partnership still has any teeth at all. Source: GeoPolitics Watch

@the_culturist_ Monks often drank low ABV (ie. 1% or 2%) beer and ale

Catholic monks used to survive Lent on beer alone. In the 17th century, Paulaner monks of Munich subsisted only on this for 40 days — they brewed an exceptionally malty, calorie-rich beer packed with carbs and nutrients. It was known as "liquid bread." It was originally brewed on the feast day of their order's founder, St. Francis of Paola, known as Sankt Vater Bier ("Holy Father Beer"). After the secularisation of the monastery in 1799, the recipe passed into private hands and was later given the name Salvator ("The Saviour"), in honour of its life-giving role during the monks' Lenten penance. That same beer is still brewed according to the old tradition today.

@Ultra603 Greater New Hampshire should annex the Central Massachusetts Highlands and northeast Connecticut

Stages of Greater New Hampshire denial: 2025: "Greater New Hampshire is just an internet meme. You will never do anything in real life." 2026: "Okay, 60% of your legislators voted to expand the state, but that doesn't mean anything." 2028: "You changed the duty stations on Seavey's Island, but it won't go beyond that." 2031: "New Hampshire has annexed the Portsmouth Harbor and Killington, but you won't invade and dissolve the entire state of Maine." 2037: "The Granite Republic's lithium exports will not overtake Australia."

@Rothmus Companies will just find another official reason to fire the employees

A Chinese court ruled that companies cannot legally fire employees just to replace them with cheaper AI

@MAVERIC68078049 Guess who rose to power after 1945

When a culture DECAYS, it is most vividly reflected in its architecture.

Divorce was introduced in Italy by statute in 1970. Contraception was introduced by the Courts in 1971. Abortion was introduced by statute in 1978. The 1970s: You do the math:

The only reason it’s not 100% is because 20% of France is Black/Arab and the remaining 20% are White liberal women.

@lady_valor_07 That’s a diabetic’s paradise

Unpopular opinion: As I get older, all this looks disgusting

@RobSchneider Church arsonists need to face the death penalty like they would in Iran

Why are churches burning in Europe?

@EndWokeness Would she have ruled in favor of a Christian city in Texas? Probably not.

This is the judge who just ruled in favor of an IsIamic city in Texas. Judge Amy Meachum.

@GigaBasedDad The Tychonic model is the most accurate depiction of the Terran system

That's a little awkward

@zarathustra5150 It’s time for France to bring back the guillotine

Oh.

I don't care what kind of Catholic you are. NO goer, TLM goer, Byzantine, whatever. If you as a Catholic don't look at this and feel disgust, I seriously question your faith.

No. It means no one can believe anything anymore. The fault lies with a government that has consistently lied, a press that has consistently lied, political parties that have consistently lied. You reap what you sow. "This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want." ~ Hannah Arendt
