Is prayer actively discouraged in Catholicism?

we know for sure they did it

It's very disturbing what this caveat implies.

That's not plastic grass; its a common kind of grass in Hawaii, that's very densely packed, and it feels really nice to walk on while barefoot. Also nice to sleep on when you've been decked.

Then what is "systemic racism"? That's a much more common term (in my experience) than "systemic discrimination"?

They can make the filibuster be an actual Mr-Smith-Goes-To-Washington event again and fucking FORCE those fucking assholes to stand up there and talk for 24 hours straight. The change in filibuster behavior, which Republicans enacted, to just table anything that the other side said would be filibustered, should end. And spineless Democrats should do it and take credit for doing it, and look like they give a damn again.

I think it's because George Michael died, and somehow it seems more plausible to our memory that it would've been Boy George who died.

Then make an Amendment; that's the legal way to change this. The only way.

I hope Dolly's was an exception.

Its normal to loosen the nuts a tiny bit before you jack up the car (when the ground prevents the tire from spinning while you apply the torque).

How would you rewrite that part of the sentence that used the "R" word? It seems like "idiot" and "stupid" (edit: "moron") are also terms with historical baggage, and likely fall into the same category of being a slur. Or is it just because the "R" word is still in use by the medical field? I suppose "dumbass" is the first word that comes to mind without historical (or current?) baggage, and I'm personally fine to use that term to replace all the others above. But the links you provided don't really give guidance on how to express the above in a "safe" alternative way (note the original was an internal thought); I guess I'm here proposing that everyone just use "dumbass" (shout out to "Red").

Edit: I guess "dumb" also has its problems; perhaps even "fool"?

Hmm, as a kid growing up in a remote pacific area, the milky way felt blinding when looking up at it with dark-adjusted eyes. It's magnificent.

Cellophane isn't plastic. I wish true Cellophane was used more frequently, perhaps especially if an improved version of "coated" cellophane were possible. I'm displeased that plastic and polyethylene mostly replaced it...

That was a semi-final.

The joke is that the birds have very specific positions in the formation, so that even though he earlier shot a bird from that group they didn't just form a new pervect V.

Just the fact that the FCC can issue fines for "bad" language on broadcasts has always perplexed me about the 1st.

Marvel was not that big in mainstream culture before the MCU.

Spider-Man has been pretty iconic since the 60s. My mom could easily recognize Spider-Man, but probably would struggle with Batman.

There's an actual, somewhat definitive essay on this distinction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit

For when you're just spotting.

How tall is Trump again?

Speaking of discussing African Americans, do you think the NAACP should change its name?
