If you ask a Marine they’ll confirm that they’re a department of the Navy, but then qualify it as “the men’s department” before devolving into a yut-fest

Sadly this noble soldier would not survive to see victory in Europe as most records point to the great beast becoming a casualty in the battle of the bulge.
T-Rex warfare was best suited to the Pacific theater, but strategic priorities resulted in bringing even suboptimal resources and weapon systems to the German offensive.
RIP sweet prince, RIP.
With all due respect, this is not reflective of the protestant revival movement in the US in the 1800s. The second awakening was absolutely a bunch of rival interpretations of the word claiming they were right b/c (insert reason here).
I probably should have been more specific in my original reply but when we’re taking about US “Catholics aren’t Christians” that’s 100 percent the origin of the trope. I can’t speak to the Irish version but I’d challenge anyone about it in the US. That’s why we needed an Ecumenism movement in the first place after all.
There’s plenty of great commentary here about why Christianity is divided up into different sects, but I think you’re primarily interested in the narcissism of small differences. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism_of_small_differences)
Basically, if you’ve read about Dr. Suess’ Starbellied Sneeches, you get the idea. Human brains are exceptional pattern recognition machines, and when a society is so homogenously Christian then those small differences become the cleavages along which identities form. That leads to things like Catholic / Christian divisions and the formation of the best joke in The Guardian history:
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”
He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”
He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”
Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.

Whata you say make-a no sense! False equivalence

Guess the asshole part of that depends on whether you’re a Kuwaiti or Republican Guard…
G. W.'s round 2 (electric boogaloo) version was an entirely different exercise in absurdity. Bush 41’s war was not really comparable.
Just have to delete the system32 directory. That gets rid of the changed settings the fastest.
Another post mentioned just giving cash anonymously and I think that’s easily the best option. You would almost certainly have access to their mailbox if it’s a suburban stand alone type? If not, an unmarked envelope under the door, with cash, would preserve plausible distance from making the neighbor feel like they have to decline out of etiquette.
Don’t think about it more, they clearly need the help if they mentioned it, and if you can help without feeling the impact just do so without strings or direct attribution. They’ll suspect it, and can if they approach you in genuine thanks if they want, then you’re able to be gracious about accepting, or simply act surprised and happy that such a nice thing happened if not.
I’ve had people clearly embarrassed at the grocery checkout take a 50$ bill I claimed fell out of their pocket before several times. Preserves their dignity even if it’s just a pretext for helping. Puts the ball in their court at least. “Hey man, I don’t know what to say but it’s not mine. Pay it forward for someone who needs help if it’s not yours” is the worst that’s ever gone for me before. Nobody likes being a charity case.
I used to love Reply All before Alec Goldman’s shenanigans (awful behavior) came to light. So it was a real bright spot for me to find that PJ’s pod has almost everything I loved about Reply All. He’s willing to pursue things past the point any reasonable person with a job would and I love it. If you want a deep dive about whatever rabbit hole that takes his interest for the episode, it’s a great place imo.

There’s a number of restoration projects on the West Coast, but one I’ve been really interested in is how they can induce the stumb and root system of cut down redwoods to send out suckers and can potentially bring their genetics back into the population. I love the chestnuts and elms, they are truly beautiful trees. The redwood groves are really special though.
We should be funding reforestation efforts like the new deal. Genetic resilience research, the works.
This and the American Elm restoration projects are some of the most exciting things to me—alongside Redwood sucker propagation!
Love seeing updates and hoping more and more chapters get set up to expand rapidly once the test orchards get approved to distribute stock!
Can you do me a quick favor?
I’ve never met anybody with this kind of access before, so could you punch the guy who decided to get rid of the little tabasco bottles in the face real hard?
Alternatively, (preferably both) if you run into the guy in the hallway carrying something hot, would you please trip him?
Thanks! -everyone in the army
