You also see this in crimes with an identity valence. What does restoration look like?

It's striking how little any of these people speak the cultural language of Catholicism
November 16, 2025 at 12:20 AM
Yeah, this feels more like Evangelical-adjacent Catholics + integralists finally breaking off

How much money your parents paid for tutoring?

It might just be me, but almost all my exposure to DnD isn't the game at this point
November 15, 2025 at 9:19 PM
From an absolute outsiders perspective it feels like they're struggling to handle how much revenue is generated via DnD as a content generation engine

I think an issue around this type of topic is that the vocabulary on both the abolition and carcalization side is meant to be provocative. So were always stuck with "ok, everyone is provoked, now what?"

*what righteous means is a choose your own adventure

I can't comment on the former, but it's always just "righteous thought, righteous action, righteous person". It's always flailing at producing a good society

Build housing so Grandma doesn't have to move further from medical services when she transitions to fixed income

We've made it so that not waiting decades to sell is very likely always going to result in a quality of life hit, unless you use it to finance *more debt*

One of the biggest things is that it is an anchor, you're kind of in for a penny, in for a pound. Housing prices go up == taxes go up == outsized impact with slower wage growth == if I have to move I'll be required to geographically displace myself. We've backed ourselves into a corner

I think the big thing is that there's no splitting off in the Catholic Church, so there's a reasonable amount of room to chart your own path. Also, he's a layperson, and they just don't have a lot of relevance to Catholicism or the average Catholic

i.e. the friend who gets mad at you for not being sufficiently sad when hearing about things that happen on a show you don't watch
November 15, 2025 at 2:38 PM
Tbf, this is kind of similar to having a friend who gets deep into fandom and demands you feign an acceptable amount of interest/participation in it

I think we forgot that there were shoes it was keeping from dropping that are now firmly coming down. Epstien, ACA subsidies, price increases were all going to happen either way

"Tradwifery but men and woke" is a really dumb but surprisingly popular idea
November 15, 2025 at 1:21 PM
I know they're saying they want woke, but that seems to be in conflict with getting assumed soft conservatives on board
November 15, 2025 at 1:17 PM
Like the average straight male influencer is already a soft-conservative-but-not-manosphere guy.
November 15, 2025 at 1:16 PM
It's also very annoying that these guys... already exist?
November 15, 2025 at 1:15 PM
You just started a half a century conflict in Europe

Hearing "No, I was just kidding guys, give it back" and seeing him throw a punch was really sad

After watching some teens get into a fight while trying to take someone's phone away (I think it was for Robinhood, but same thing), friends/family trying to intervene is up there too
