the bourgeois are not the enemy - it’s the hyper capitalists

Yes, the bourgeois. Bourgeois means business owners or people who own capital.

Not sure exactly what you’re meaning by “middle class”, but I’m guessing it’s white collar workers (people who’s job is telling other people what to do) and/or “petite bourgeois” (aka small business owners like small tradie businesses or mum and pop shops).

but it might will absolutely suck

Fixed it for you

Sure, it’s odd, but I’d rather that than the lung cancer from cigarettes

My favorites are the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Went to see them re-released in theaters earlier this year for the 25th anniversary.

At least in some countries, weddings legally have to be an open invitation. The idea is anyone who has an objection needs to be able to bring it.

I don’t agree that the concept of “winning an argument” should exist, at least in most cases. Arguments should be a cooperative thing, where you’re working together to come to a point that you both agree on. Treating it as something that one person wins and the other loses removes all the learning that could happen.

That said, there are times when one person refuses to cooperate. At that point, I try to learn about their position as much as I can, and if there’s a potential audience like in a comment section, I’ll say my piece then leave.

This is from someone who got married in January this year.

The main part of marriage is the commitment to always choose to love your partner. To clarify, I’m using the word ‘love’ here as meaning “want what they want, and always do what’s best for them regardless of the cost to yourself”. You’re promising to always be the first person they can count on, no matter what happens. It’s not a promise to always like them, although that definitely helps and it’s difficult not to when there’s mutual love.

And for those that believe in this, marriage is an example of the love between God and his people.

Sure, the legal part exists, and I’d say it can sometimes be a good thing, but I don’t see that as core to a marriage. Really, if you both agree to be committed to loving each other forever, I’d say you’re married in the way that really matters.

If you know their address, sign them up for a scientology newsletter. It’s borderline impossible to convince them to stop

A. A “good rich person” is fundamentally unstable. When push comes to shove, they will either remain good or remain rich, not both.

B. Good people have principles, so they’re less likely to be willing to bribe public officials, even if they’re doing something good with it.

Done that before pretty much. It’s not hard. Use a bowline or some other loop knot to make a pulley between the loop and the anchor point, then go back and forth until you run out of rope, then tie it off.

Sure, ratchet tie downs are easier and probably get a tighter hold, but rope works fine.

Not my current town, but the town I grew up in.

In short, volcanoes. The town in built next to a lake. The biggest lake in the country. The lake is a caldera crater, from one of the biggest volcanic eruptions ever that we know of. And fun fact, it’s still slightly active, and several hundred years overdue.

I’d honestly rather not sell that sort of thing. The only reason I would is so I could spend my working hours making that and still be able to afford to eat. If that wasn’t an issue, I’d rather give my work away for free.

Panama makes some sense, because of the loch system. Each ship that passes takes a lot of their drinking water, and they don’t need to bomb ships to stop them passing.

I’d say both. Sci fi means there are elements that the story pretends could be possible, which includes time travel (probably not the tardis, but most other methods), space travel, and most alien races probably including one’s like the daleks and cybermen. Fantasy means there are things that the story fully admits are not possible in our world, which covers time lord regeneration.

There’s plenty of other things that are both sci fi and fantasy: star wars, warhammer 40k, and marvel or dc superheroes.

I feel offended, disgusted, and entirely unsurprised. While this is probably the most blatant example of him blaspheming, it’s very far from the first. Even on top of that, him and all the other nationalists that work with him have been dragging God’s name through the mud for ages, really from long before Trump started politics. I can’t say for sure if they believe God exists or not, but they sure aren’t following him.

For context: I’m not American, but I’m very much Christian.

When Charlie Kirk died my attitude was “I’m glad he’s stopped doing what he was doing, but I’m sad that it took him dying for that to happen”. My attitude with Trump will likely be similar.
