I find the liver king hilarious because one of my female Japanese friends's favorite food is beef and horse liver sashimi. Dude is shilling the dream diet of a small Japanese woman to a bunch of incels trying to get shredded lmao.

If belief in the pope's infallibility is a requirement for being Catholic then the excommunicated dude didn't really want to be a Catholic and now he's not a Catholic. Problem resolved, I don't see what the issue is.

Dude was an archbishop who lost his job because he thought the pope was being too nice to LGBT people and immigrants. Good riddance, he can fuck off and find a real job. Today is the day the broken catholic clock gets to be right.

Isn't the pope only truly infallible when he's speaking ex cathedra? Idk if excommunications are made ex-cathedra but I feel like every organization needs a way of fully and finally expelling members from itself who don't align with its beliefs or mission.

I fully get that the current pope is simply less bad than the usual popes and that the next guy could be an absolute monster. I just don't think that expelling a guy for being an anti-vaxx conspiracy theorist is a good example of the Catholic church being bad.

But isn't this equally good evidence that Catholics as a whole do have principles that they're willing to kick high ranking people out over?

If a Communist party kicked a high ranking member out because they were an anti-vaxxer, would that mean communists have no principles?

Edit: I'm not defending the Church, I don't really care for them. Just want to understand the principle here.

Attend an AIPAC convention.

Al Qassam, please start using the German flag in your videos instead of the red triangle.

Losing an argument so bad you stomp out of the room in a huff and turn off the lights in sheer pettiness.

"I am indigenous to this land according to my holy book which says that I wandered here from Egypt... Wait, fuck."

Extremely weird take by the libs at the SCMP, who are notoriously bad with military reporting.

Some PLA watchers have reported on a recent standoff between US and Chinese electronic warfare aircraft near the Philippines:

After a 12-hour standoff, the U.S. forces chose to retreat. However, this electronic warfare incident caused a complete disruption of GPS signals in the northern part of Luzon Island, with all communications, phone signals, and other signals completely cut off, plunging the local area into chaos.

It is evident that the Chinese military conducted strong interference with U.S. GPS signals. Given that the Laoag International Airport in northern Luzon is home to a U.S. land-based missile system, this electronic warfare can also be viewed as a rehearsal by the PLA to counter land-based Tomahawk cruise missiles by disrupting GPS signals.

I think that this lines up extremely well with the US Tomahawks being pulled almost immediately afterwards. If they can't fly without GPS then they're just useless targets. Certainly makes more sense than the US somehow deciding to conceed to Putin under the anti-Russian Biden admin.

Article is worth a read if you want to get a sense of shifting military power dynamics between China and the US as well. The US drops an ASW device, China coast guard tries to recover it. US Navy ship tries to interfere, causing a Chinese carrier group to show up. Both sides blast each other with electronic warfare and in the end the Americans scamper off.

Inshallah the US isn't far from its big Suez moment.

One of my friends who is a person of Indian heritage born in the West told me about how his KKKraker job interviewer once said "you speak great English" and without missing a beat he replied "thanks, so do you."

He got the job.

The comments page of the petition has a bunch of Japanese right wingers complaining about historical revisionism. Chef's kiss levels of irony.
