What a strange self-own. I completely agree with him that one was competent and the other is grossly incompetent. He probably disagrees with the rest of us all on which is which.

mansplaining certainly wasn't my intent. my bad.
just a lil 'por que no los dos' was all I meant by it

Maybe both? Such things are possible.
I don't know the facts, but I can imagine a scenario where someone has a job that puts him between two markets a lot - one where his family lives, and another where he shares rent with a friend. He could also be going through a separation. Lives are complicated

Also I know this is going to sound preachy to my fellow Catholics - but he absolutely DOES speak for us. He's the effing Pope. Yes, it is possible to disagree with him - most of what the Pope says is NOT Ex Cathedra - but his primary job is to govern the church, guide its teachings, and represent us

I'm a cradle Catholic with 19 years of Catholic education - pre-school all the way up through undergrad.
I think he was the bee's knees. Granted, 8 years of my Catholic education was in Jesuit institutions, so I was made well aware that clergy could be extremely liberal within a Catholic framework.

Also, regardless of whether the tenure is still active, you still refer to the person by highest station w/ tenure. Examples:
Queen Elizabeth is the longest tenured Queen of England.
William Harrison is the shortest tenured U.S. President.
Sean Payton is the longest tenured coach in Saints history.

You always retain the title of your highest station. For example Hillary Clinton is still referred to as "Secretary Clinton" in many contexts even as a former Secretary, Senator, and First Lady because her job as Secretary was her highest station. It's a once/always type of thing. He's still "Coach"

Came here to say this, too, my pedantic brother. Just because he's not the coach anymore doesn't mean that he's not the longest tenured coach in league history anymore. He's still the longest tenured coach; it's just that now his tenure of that particular team is over. What if his next job is 18yrs?

We're talking about the national team. We're limited to guys with U.S. passports; It's not like we can sell them or trade them. The coach for the National Team is the one who calls up the players, so if the problem is that we need better players called up, that IS the coach's fault.

The only problem with this being that with a laundry list of injuries - as you've noted - he doesn't exactly have the ideal lineup in place to be as adamant about it as he seems to want to be. But hey... 5pts in 4 games with a ton of injuries? I'm happy with this so far.
March 16, 2025 at 4:57 AM
I have to wonder if he was more flexible last year because he "had to be" and now that he has more of "his guys" he's adamant about putting what he wants to see on tape here at the beginning of the season so he has a record of the way he ideally wants his guys to play.
This isn't a criticism btw

Yeah who refers to another human being as an "incompatible immigrant?" WtActualF...

Anyone with common sense could have put together BIRD FLU headlines over the past year with expensive turkey headlines and expensive egg headlines and come to the conclusion that birds and bird byproducts cost more when there are fewer birds
Crazy it took this long to come to a causal conclusion

uh, okay. thanks for rephrasing what I've said in a less charitable and less nuanced way. I don't disagree with most of what you've said here, but you've phrased this in a way that seems to imply I'm wrong somehow?
I think I've been making it clear that diff translations result in diff meanings

It would have been understood basically as "positions where aren't face-to-face." there was no non-gendered way of describing *anything* - Even pots and pans, columns, and poetry all had genders assigned to them linguistically
It was possible to do your wife "in the way that a man lies with a man"
January 24, 2025 at 5:19 PM
not to mention, a lot of that dissection over when he DOES say stuff like "in the way that a man lies with a man" gets into what that would have been understood to mean by Greco-Roman people. They would have interpreted that as "positions typical of the way mentors molest their understudies"

I know a few people who have left the Mormon faith, but I don't know anything about Mormons. I wouldn't paint them with a broad brush, myself, since I don't know anything about them, really. I have heard that some of them engage in polygamy but I really don't know about wife-swapping per se.
January 24, 2025 at 5:05 PM
Think back to even 15 years ago - there wasn't as much of a prevalence of the usage of "they" in the place of "gender unknown," so "he/she" or "he or she" or "his or hers" would be used all the time. All that means is "whoever this applies to," and implied that it would apply to nonbinary people too
January 24, 2025 at 5:02 PM
There was no such thing as non-gendered language in Greco-Roman society, though. There was no way for him to use a term like "spouse" - which is why there's so much dissection of his passages about "in the way a man might lie with a man" where his choice of words specifies a non-spousal relationship
January 24, 2025 at 4:57 PM
Within the context of both Greek and Roman societies, there was a belief that certain positions were like when frat bros today hug each other & say 'no homo'
Humanity goes through waves of this. My grandma once told me her friends in high school thought they couldn't get preg if the girl was on top

So there's an argument to be made that even in those cases, he's not saying that being gay is bad. He's basically just saying stuff like prone bone and doggystyle aren't his preference if he were to consider what's more or less morally acceptable ways to boink. And it's also filled with disclaimers.
