IT'S BARELY ENOUGH
comment in response to post
JK Rowling knows about intersex people and has actively sponsored bills that subjugate us. It's not the gotcha a lot of people seem to think it is.

Preferencing Family first over One Nation sure is a fucking bold choice. Christofascism vs White Supremacy just kinda sucks for everyone though,

--fundamentally going to be not because of anything he did or changed, not because of anything that overturned major Church doctrine or made life better for the vulnerable in the Church. It is because they ever had to pretend to care. They are indignant about it. They want the mask off.

The backlash to Francis will be severe soon, I think. I suspect the Church is going to "go with the winds" and elect someone with more traditional credentials, someone who will collaborate with the far-right more readily and not be weighed down by motioning towards tolerance. But the backlash is—

The church also makes a claim that medical intervention on intersex children brings them closer to the image of god during this time. Despite never having a position on intersex people until "Male and Female He Created Them": Towards a Path of Dialogue on the Question of Gender Theory in Education

--the true position of the Catholic Church. That is the true, actual, Church there. At every moment, Francis has been a barrier to actual doctrinal change. From denial of the ordination of women to misdirection on LGBT rights to offloading of blame for sexual abuse, his role has been to misdirect.

--slips. When he calls transgender people a form of "ideological colonization," when he thinks that in private he can say slurs, when push comes to shove and he brushes off LGBT advocacy groups with a few simple words of "you are loved" then blames sex abuse scandals on homosexuality, that is—
comment in response to post
It works, because most people think the Catholic church HATES queers. Its bigotry is more nuanced, so a simple repetition of its position - that you are a loved child of God, regardless of if you are homosexual or not - sounds like progress when it absolutely isn't. And of course, the mask—
comment in response to post
The position of the Church has for decades been that queers are not inherently damned to Hell, catholics aren't Westboro Baptists, but that they are still engaging in sin by practising homosexuality. They are loved children of God called to celibacy to fight their predilection towards sin.

The way he resolves the whole last act of ME3 is honestly incredible. So glad I kept him alive.

Just have a guy with bagpipes start playing 30 seconds into any question to cut them off.

Looks more like a programming environment than a word processor?

Given the relentless cruelty of the postal survey, if I had a gun with two bullets and I was in a room with him and Dutton. I'd shoot Turnbull twice.

Yeah Libreoffice is too much. Clean and basic is the name of the game. Something that loads in an instant and gets the job done 90% of the time. Abiword looks good, but it turns out you can still just download Wordpad atm.
comment in response to post
Abiword looks closer than Libreoffice to what I'm after, I might look into it as an alternative.

Yeah, I'm not really looking for a programming environment.

Found an install to get it back. Not well pleased about this at all. winaero.com/wordpad-for-...

I just feel like the moment that mattered most was Anthony Bowens coming in on the Max Caster open challenge? And that was a 40 second squash match on the pre-show I didn't watch...

The FTR heel turn doesn't make sense. The Young Bucks backing the Death Riders doesn't make sense. Cole winning clean over Garcia? Why does that matter? Even Storm with an obvious win over Bayne didn't feel like a moment. The Bandido nonsense sucked. Fletcher was an obvious win.
