Yes.

Their four other kids recovered, so I suppose 4/5 isn’t bad?

Honestly these religious communities need a purging. I am religious and I’d NEVER consider not availing myself of the miracles of medicine.

Sure. This clearly demonstrates a lack of appropriate parenting skills and child safety. CAS would be involved for lots of cases like that.

I took no particular offense to it, because I was brought up Catholic but also to love queer people and accept them fully and that abortion was fine, so I was ignoring all their social bugaboos all along, but when I finished school I realized a volcel in a dress had nothing to say to a young girl, and my priest’s brother was my high school chaplain who was gay as a day in May but in the closet, and they lived together in this grim sexless loveless house together until the chaplain died and the priest went to be a bishop in the North where he whittled out his days until his forced retirement at 75. He wrote some choice words about Pride parades, which I wish I would have known about when it happened because I would have fought back because his brother deserved his respect.

I go to church and am one of the bread bakers, we each volunteer one week per month. It’s so easy to bake bread, which we all make a different type of every time, and we buy beautiful locally bottled grape juice from a nearby farm. One of the church members is a potter and made an absolutely gorgeous communion set complete with the crown of thorns. Catholics just have some volcel in a dress yapping and singing, and absolutely NOTHING for the children of the congregation, which is why so many grow away from it, myself included, because there is nothing for your age group to engage with. It’s no wonder they’re such a disaster. Church can be so nice if you pay attention to the details and make it a celebration every week, and we have such robust children’s programming that we have 80 kids a week attending. The Catholics actually have very set education for every stage of a child’s life, but they do nothing for them at service.

It’s SO sad what happened to him. Imagine having a colostomy because you couldn’t stop doing drugs. Or drowning.

Those are ROUGH. My pug ate some heritage seed peppers called Royal Black. He found them to his liking.

Apparently The Trial is his masterpiece.

I took him in as a stray foster dog who had been found on the street. I’ve spent thousands on his care. I don’t claim they’re healthy at all, but he’s a delightful pet and I’m nursing him through his very geriatric years. I absolutely love him and he was a hilarious monkey back in his younger years. I’m just reminiscing on his funny days because he’s having bad days lately.

I think more like 7/10 victims,1/10 scammers, and 2/10 people who are just obnoxious and oppositional and greedy. That’s my observation from looking at them so often…

When an individual who is sort of weird and conspiratorial gets into this, I understand why, and the Moorish ones because they have sort of an organization or the American State National ones; there’s a loose organization of people there being suckered as a group. But when an individual average person finds their way to this, and they have just your average middle class family, I honestly wonder where this comes from. I discovered a friend of mine on Facebook had a friend in one of these groups and told her, and she was taken aback because she was just someone who she took a Photoshop class from that she met through her business network, and she has a business of her own and seems so normal. Those are the ones I don’t understand how they got there.

He does! Looks like he likes a good meal out.

Yes it also happened in my Canadian city last spring, the first in decades. Unvaccinated of course. FAFO.

How could you get a better name than this?

Just a little bit Italian.

And he ran under the most hilarious political party ticket ever, in the UK of all things.

They’re actually an environmental nightmare. It takes 10000 pounds of rose petals to make a single pound of rose oil, for example. They are poisonous to aquatic life and house pets, flammable, lavender and tea tree oils are endocrine disruptors. I don’t know what problems you think they solve, but I only ever used peppermint oil when I worked in ER and someone rolled in who had shit their pants, a couple of drops inside a mask and you can continue working without throwing up.

He was released last year and has a girlfriend who looks exactly the same as his victim. Who would date a murderer of his former wife? Insane.

I haven’t seen too many conservatives on Lemmy, but Bluesky is a fine example of how if you deplatform and cut off the oxygen of fascists and leave them talking to themselves, they really do fade into the background.

Free Luigi. Patron saint of all of those denied for stupid reasons, including my friend who had to have his necrotic gallbladder removed last week, and one of those shitass insurance companies denied his hospital stay, because apparently your gallbladder should fall out of you itself or something.

But people who are citizens here are living in tents. We have encampments all over my city. We have to take care of people who live here first. And we’re not. Sadly the government let housing and infrastructure lag far behind the capacity needed to take care of everyone who is already here. We can’t take more people when we don’t have space for the ones who are here.
