You two are probably still picking corn silk out of your teeth.

So... both you and Buddy ate a tamale with the corn husk still on. I'm more fascinated by this than I should be.

I mean, soft shelled crabs are a thing, so I can’t really say much, but you got sone kind of energy if you enjoy eating things with armor.

Well, proper tamales are wrapped in corn husks. It’s easier to tell what you’re not supposed to eat.

Fields is good tho….

Eh... sure.

Westpark also taught me how to open links here only on my laptop / desktop for that exact reason.

They’re not supposed to be in paper, which is probably why the sucked.

That's not cool, but only because those fucking cars are already a fire hazard . Who knows what kind of wildfire could have resulted?

I agree to an extent. There is nothing Democrats should have done at the SOTU except maybe walking out, and nothing they could do would have served any purpose served any purpose. That being said, they can and should do something by obstructing government operations. They should not vote for any budgets. They should not vote for any of his nominees (FUCK YOU FETTERMAN). They should not attend any special sessions. They should openly refute any and all of his policies. I don't take this statement lightly, but not participating in his schemes is the only way for anything to happen.

I call my Valentine - "Dollface Supreme"

That's like the only Oscar winner I actually watched, ever. It had sex in it. THat's all I remember.

I was thinking about what could do that too, and for some reason CO didn’t come to mind.

Why wait?

One look at his mom and it suddenly seems very possible.

Bro.... three words for you: Mahogany Smoked Meats. They're based in Bishop, but they ship throughout California. This deserves its own thread. Get to it Doomy.

It looks like he already has an asshole on his plate...

I can't remember the last time I heard Thundarr the Barbarian...

I don't think any electric will do as well as a safety razor with lather soap after a shower. However, this 9000 series Norelco has shaved a lot closer than I expected and well better than the one I had when I was first shaving. The thing is, I can shave dry with the electric while with the safety I couldn't shave even with foam unless I first softened the stubble in the shower. I also needed to a balm afterward to stave off the rash that I don't need now. I'm only two months in, so time will tell what the electric blades are like when they're dull. At least for the time being I don't look like I'm homeless four days out of the week.

That was my last chance to get Liv Tyler to fall in love with me.

Medieval popes were actually pope/princes, something that was stamped out with the unification of Italy. We’re not going back to that thanks to the demise of feudalism and the resulting disenfranchisement of lesser nobility. A bigger danger is the rise of a heretical pope: ironically, there’s a greater chance of a chief cleric who’s ultra orthodoxy is destructive to canon and, consequently church structure, than a cleric who’s radically progressive. Francis isn’t really doing anything special. He was tasked with rebuilding a church devastated by the pedophilia scandal, and that always meant expanding inclusion. Gay people aren’t going to disappear, poverty and migration (the two most central themes in Jesus’ teachings) are at all time highs, and women hold more power and influence than at any other time in history. Through all that and despite two millennia worth of ecumenical precedent, church liturgy has very little to say about against these issues, so Francis only needed to do incremental revisions to the teachings to make a huge difference. I say he’s modestly liberal because two hot button issues in modernizing the Christian faith, namely abortion and women in the clergy, had virtually no headway despite the fact the Gospel doesn’t mention the former and there is copious examples of holy women showing leadership in the same. it speaks how to what would traditionally be heresy has become mainstream in the greater Christian community. In particular, singling out migrants openly flaunts Jesus’ teachings (and to a certain extent Judaic teachings as well), yet there is a strong presence of nationalism within Baptist congregations. Troublingly, there are signs of that nationalism showing up in the more conservative cults within the Roman Catholic congregation, particularly when it comes to abortion and women’s rights. It suggests that any new schism that might appear in the next conclave will be between a moderate faction and an ultra conservative faction that would “heretically” interpret the Gospel in an exclusive way.

As modestly liberal as Francis has been, he’s been getting almost unrelenting blowback for basically not being a sanctimonious twat. I don’t really see how a more liberal pope is possible, which is depressing to say the least.

Last time he said that, it was a surprise for him.

I used to get really lazy about shaving too, but I got an electric shaver for Christmas so now I shave more than once a week.

Are you surprised Trump is taking this new tack on Zelenskyy being a dictator who apparently started the war without attacking Russia?
