I'm even lazier and tend to opt for the audiobook version, or if that's not available, I just listen via text to speech on the reader app.

I saw someone criticized the size of the forum title at the top, but now I can't find the post.
The mods obviously took this to heart! The logo is glorious now!
Could still be bigger though....

This is Jewdan Peterstein with a bunch of other Steins and Bergs who lurk here collabing on an essay because (((they))) are concerned that Christ's name is being taken in vain. Lol. The jews are fake-upset that Christian men here are using the term "Christ Is King" to defend themselves against jewish globohomo psyops! You can't make this inverted clown world stuff up. Christ is King! And the jews are Antichrist because they denied and betrayed Christ which resulted in a new covenant in His blood. Therefore God's chosen people are now Christians and not jews.
Read em' and weep all you commie jew lurkers.
I agree it's a nice name. Funny how names come and go. Here's the first appearance of Violet in Peanuts.
I don't know if this is true, but I am shocked it so! 
How do Catholics reconcile the doctrine of transubstantiation with their rejection of transgenderism? This is from catholic.com "The Church has a different take, one that is grounded in genuinely confirmed reality. One is born either or male or female, and this also applies to hermaphrodites who, though they manifest both male and female anatomical aspects at birth, are either biological boys or girls."
If the church's take is that of what is visually obvious reality, then how do they square that with the Eucharist, which is when the bread and wine become the actual body of Jesus but are still outwardly bread and wine. I suppose, to answer my own question, the difference is that the Eucharist changes the bread and wine, whereas the transperson isn't divinely changed but declares themselves to be one gender or another. It's not like the bread and wine identify as Christ, since it is inanimate food.

TLDR the reduction of annual immigration intake in Canada is causing Canadian condo prices to fall and make them more affordable for local buyers.
I just lost my job. Horrible company to work for. Bad work environment. They didn't say anything to me that I wasn't doing well, no official warnings or anything. And not even in person. Not even a phone call or explanation from the manager. I thought everything was going fine and one day I just randomly receive a generic boilerplate 1 page document by email from the company that my employment has been terminated due to not meeting performance standards which they didn't even specify what the performance standards were or how I failed to meet them. And they waited until the very last minute just a few days before the 6 month probation ended to do this. And what is worse that it is a seasonal job and now we are in low season and there wasn't much work at the moment anyway so the past month I hardly worked if they had terminated by job at the start of the month I would have got a head start on job hunting which would have been more valuable then the 2 days of work that I got. Legally I have no recourse because during the probationary period companies can fire people at any time without reason.
Luckily I am doing okay financially and its not big of a deal but it still pisses me off. Bullshit like this is why employees have no loyalty to companies anymore and don't want to work too hard.

I made the switch to chiefly reading on my phone a few years ago but I don't think the tiny screen is good for the eyesight. I recently bought an iPad and started reading on that. The screen is glorious, much easier to see.

Much longer than that, the Roman Senate continued to meet in Constantinople for over a thousand years after the Western half fell.
In the Orthodox Church, we have the Holy Spirit of the Apostles in our Bishops. This is the same Holy Spirit given to the Apostles during the Pentecost, which was then passed down from the Apostles to Bishops over the ages. The Bishops still use this holy power to endow the priests to change wine into blood and bread into flesh. It is a divine mystery and one of the routine miracles that takes place in the Church every week.
I did not know that apparently the reason tigers are orange is because their prey (deers and wild boar, etc) are colour blind to red and green colours so the orange colour (similar to red) of tigers blends into the background
I am glad this scumbag boxer ended up in hospital. I've never heard of that level of harassing another fighter before a fight starts. He should have been disqualified from the sport to be honest. Absolute shameful behavior.
New record... 806 lurkers with 12 members signed in. Weird ratio. In a modern social media world where everybody seems to have something to say I've never seen so much silence (especially when almost every thread here has some level of social/political conflict and/or controversy).
