@BruceLeVinePuck So the Stars score and a Minnesota player jumps in the middle of our guys celebration and we get called for the penalty??? How does that work?
@PeriklesGREAT I live in Kentucky and I see that cart each and every time I go to Walmart, and every time the person pushing it is obese. The saddest thing is that they are also in their 20s or 30s….
@kant7171@JohnAndrewDors3 It’s not about US, it’s about Him. We should be so in awe of Jesus coming down and into that tiny host for us, that we should be on our knees in front of our creator.
@kant7171@JohnAndrewDors3 …allow keyboards, so what about the person who likes bongos? And if that’s ok, we have to allow hip hop, and to please others, a bit of salty language, then laser lights, balls spinning from the ceiling, etc. God has expressed very clearly how He wants us to worship Him.
Bishop Schneider urges restoring dignified sacred music and rejecting guitar-based, Protestant-style worship as unfit for the Mass. Read full at epistles.online/2026/01/16/bis…
@TexasCowgrl1111 Just like “credit reporting companies”. I never gave any of them, Trans Union, Equifax, Experion, permission to gather my personal information and report it to banks, credit card companies, etc. Yet there it is.
Hypothetically…….. I’m being taxed on money I never made. Let that sink in.
If I bought my property outright for $60,000 in 2009
Now the county says it’s worth $246,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $246,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper — and now I’m being billed for it.
If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.
If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax.
So why does owning a home work differently?
Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?
A house isn’t just an investment — it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.
You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.
This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.”
It’s about being charged for value you never received.
And people are starting to notice.
This needs to be on everyone’s mind✔️
@IsaacAWagner Especially young guys, trying to look “hardcore”, or like their favorite rapper, wearing sweats and hoodies, with a toboggan hat, in 80 degree weather….
Favorite Spring activity is watching people continue to wear their winter coats in increasingly warmer weather. I imagine they are slowly being boiled alive like that frog sitting obliviously in hotter and hotter water.
@hanzailar@ttexashedge@jiujitsu199@ruyschian And as an older lifter in my 60s, I’ve also heard him modify his advice for older people. IMO, younger guys who find fault with his program usually do so when the weight gets heavy. Very few people will continue doing something that is hard…
@ttexashedge@jiujitsu199@ruyschian As someone who used to follow Rippetoe's advice religiously - he is good on basic technique and for skinny 18-year-old guys. But the posterior chain dominance, diet advice, "don't stretch", "only do compound lifts"...
St. Alphonsus Liguori (Doctor of the Church, Theologia Moralis, 18th cent.) – the standard reference on communicatio in sacris:
"It is not permitted to be present at the sacred rites of infidels and heretics in such a way that you would be judged to be in communion with them."
"It is a mortal sin to communicate in divinis with heretics or schismatics, even in their prayers or religious meetings, because this amounts to a profession of the false religion."
Remember God commanding Moses to remove his shoes?
And he said: Come not nigh hither, put off the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
[Exodus 3:5]
Muslims know this, have stolen this for their purposes and Leo acquiesces.
If you’ve ever seen the face of a priest after even just an hour of hearing confessions, you’ll know how tired he looks.
Usually he’ll go on the celebrate the Mass right after.
Often picking up a few other last minute confessions in between.
Pray for our priests 🙏
