I’m wondering if we could reverse engineer the process to treat addictions and unwanted impulses?

Where do you go do discover new music?

They get their mandatory year of military service and during that year they are forced to sign up for actual military. That body of recruits isn’t going to dry up.

The Russian people will suffer, that’s a given. But will they do anything about it?

I read these articles but they never state what’s the argument being used. What’s the argument the court would consider? That States have the right to regulate these independently? That marriage is (by inherent definition) is between opposite sexes? That public employees have a right to not participate by refusing to file forms, witness marriage, etc.?

I live in an open carry state. Shortly after open carry became lawful, I saw someone inside a Walmart with a large gun strapped to his back. My lesson to my kids was this: If you ever see someone visibly carrying a gun, leave immediately. Even if it is legal, any person brazenly carrying a gun is dangerous. We left our cart and quickly walked through the exit.

I started using Linux as my primary computer about 7 years ago. After a few months of distro hopping, I landed on Solus because it is stable and rolling. I didn’t want to deal with breaks during major upgrades. My system is still going and I have no complaints. I’m just a regular computer user, personal and work (non-tech job). I have to wonder why Solus doesn’t get more attention.

In this hypothetical, what’s the status of the people living in Israel, West Bank, & Gaza?

US debt is in US dollars and the US is not constrained on the issuance of dollars. There will be no default. Inflation, yes. Default, no.

Before 1969, the Catholic Church’s Mass was the Roman Rite, sometimes called the Tridentine Mass, because it was codified at the Council of Trent. Over the history of this Rite there have been small changes here and there but was essentially the same going back to the early Church. The Second Vatican Council called for certain reforms to the liturgy and those were made in 1965. The 1965 liturgy was translated into the common language and had a few other changes but was essentially the same Mass as the Church has always used. Then, in 1969, the Mass of Paul VI was created, a rupture from the past, changing many elements so to be very similar to a Protestant Lutheran service.

This is what Pope Benedict XVI (then Cardinal Ratzinger) had to say about this new rite–

“What happened after the Council was something else entirely: in the place of liturgy as the fruit of development came fabricated liturgy. We abandoned the organic, living process of growth and development over centuries, and replaced it – as in a manufacturing process – with a fabrication, a banal on -the-spot product. Gamber, with the vigilance of a true prophet and the courage of a true witness, opposed this falsification, and, indefatigably taught us about the living fullness of a true liturgy”. What, then, does this true prophet have to say about a reform which is, in reality, a continued revolution? “The pastoral benefits that so many idealists had hoped the new liturgy would bring did not materialize. Our churches emptied in spite of the new liturgy (or because of it?), and the faithful continued to fall away from the Church in droves.” And again: “In the end, we will all have to recognize that the new liturgical forms, well intentioned as they may have been at the beginning, did not provide the people with bread, but with stones.”

Since the issuance of this new liturgy, Catholics have largely stopped believing what the Catholic Church teaches. There’s a saying, “Lex orandi, lex credendi” which is “The law of what is prayed is the law of what is believed.” Change the Mass and the people will change what they believe. So what we have today is a crisis of faith. We’ve been in a state of recovery because Pope Benedict liberated the Latin Mass (before him, there were a few of us, not many) but he was followed by Pope Francis who hated the traditional liturgy and did all he could do to destroy it. Pope Benedict did something that cannot be undone, however. He allowed the Latin Mass to influence seminaries and parishes around the world and the Church today is on the path to resurgence. Pope Leo XIV doesn’t quite understand why people want the Latin Mass but he is not ideologically opposed to it and will ultimately find a path for this reform (restoration) to continue.

The end result won’t be the Latin Mass replacing the modern rite. It will influence the modern rite, establishing within it a character that was previously missing. There’s many other nuances and points of discussion around this matter but I’ve typed enough for today.

Edit: The 1965 liturgy is not used anywhere now. For the most part we use the 1962 edition, keeping the Latin, but some communities use a pre-1962 edition, especially during Holy Week.

Mamdami got over 50% of the vote. Maybe the argument would be better if he didn’t win a majority vote.

Can you describe the opening days of the war, as you imagine it’ll happen?

Yesterday I made the mistake of looking up one of his videos to see what the hype was about. He is quite literally the most annoying & juvenile personality I’ve ever seen online. So much so that I couldn’t even process his claims. He was that annoying.

Which country is the functional white knight that’s definitely not hypocritical when lecturing the US about what we are doing wrong?

How’s the cost of battery replacement or does roadmaster usually time with vehicle end of life?

Understanding the economics of it is beyond what I can reasonably know at this time but I did read that Ryan McBeth argued that the increasingly likely war involving China in 2027 or 2028 will become instant demand for AI services under military use.
