It’ll just be a poorly-drawn bicep (for manliness) that looks suspiciously like a cock and balls.

Eh, he’d find a way of boasting and taking credit for it whoever the new pope was.

Oh shit, it’s not Trump is it? The Cardinals didn’t go all ‘mad lads’ on us, did they?!

That would be amazing. He’d be known as Pope Pizza Pie in the anglosphere.

C’mon Pizzaballa!

Damn, she died at just 21? That’s tragic. She clearly had a ton of potential. But at least she inspired others and left a positive legacy.

Disqualifying in a social sense? Unfortunately, yes I think it would be. It doesn’t matter how awesome your husband is, for a significant chunk of the American electorate, a candidate’s calibre is eclipsed by the voters’ prejudices. And there is a hysteria-level paranoia towards LGBT folks among these people.

It took ages for a Catholic to be elected President due to evangelical paranoia about ‘papists’. And we still haven’t elected a woman, which is insane when you consider women make up half of the electorate. We did have a black guy elected twice, but that was due to a few mitigating factors: a) the timing was right (in the sense that he ran when diversity was seen as more acceptable); b) he was ridiculously charismatic; c) he was also half white; d) he was a Protestant Christian (despite what the ‘secret Muslim’ clowns kept screaming).

IMO it sucks that someone’s orientation, ethnicity, gender, religion, or heritage still bars so many good candidates from running (because this isn’t just a case of the visible candidates like Harris, Buttigieg, or even the likes of Carson, Hilary Clinton, or Palin getting denied at the final hurdle; many candidates never make it close to running due to these biases). But this is the ass-backwards, self-immolating world we live in.

‘Anti-American sentiment’…

You stupid fuckers, the bigger problem is the Anti-McDonalds sentiment that’s everywhere, because your food is shit, your prices are outrageous, your restaurants are fake and ugly, and you don’t give a flying fuck about your customers or your employees!

It sounds like they were two different incidents.

I second Tinidril’s nomination. Go get 'em, buddy!

And the illiterate yokels in 12 months time: “Tariff?! That sounds like one of them thar a-rab names!!”

That would be hilarious, honestly.

I hope this is a billboard on the Canadian side of the border that’s pointing towards the US.

My unsolicited advice? Don’t feed the troll any more. Your summary on this post was very clear and understandable, and makes sense. The person you are arguing with is either trolling, being deliberately obtuse, or is just plain stupid. I’m assuming it’s the first of those three options. But who knows.

Ah yes, more antivax nonsense. Just what the world needs right now. Especially with the growing measles outbreak due to people not vaccinating their kids.

Orange soda is very different from pure orange.

Extra tip: use pulpy pure orange so you get little bits floating around in the brown drink. It adds extra texture. It looks absolutely disgusting, but it tastes great.

Half pure orange juice and half cola.

Didn’t she publication state recently that she was terminally ill as well? Something like liver failure. Maybe she chose to go on her terms in the end.

Instead of a server processing all the data and information, with Quark, the computing burden is spread across a contained network of both server and client machines.

That will make servers running this system much more vulnerable to exploitation hacks. Whenever you hand off some control to the client to manage server resources (including what rewards players get and don’t get) you either need extra checks, balances, and vigilance on the server-side, or you just give up and let exploiters have a field day.

I’m genuinely shocked by this. But only because I didn’t think Bessent had the spine or the personality depth to get into a heated argument with anyone. The guy comes across like a timid sloth on Valium, and has all the personality of a wet sock.
