SpongyAneurism

And what everyone seemed to omit: the reality of peoples' wildly uncalibrated monitors/phone screens.

Yes, ackshually.

Thanks for asking.

Yeah man. The amount of times I have to shoehorn into the conversation, that I'm using Arch btw. is tiring.

Would be so much easier, if they just asked.

People have a right to be stupid, though.

A lot of culture, is irrational and or superstitious. Tibetan culture has a lot of that, Chinese culture as well and American culture is also no exception.

You may find that disagreeable and not worth preserving, and I'm even inclined to agree with that on many occasions. But who is to decide which parts of ones own culture can be done away with, if not the people practicing that culture?

Can I decide which parts of your culture don't agree with MY values and take that away from you?

It was more of a rhethorical question and I wanted to imply, that it's not a significant number. But data (even if it's somewhat poorly presented) is always appreciated.

I'm surprised to see that there are more catholics than I'd have guessed and one could argue that the pope is a religious icon whose word matters to many even if they're not part of his specific denomination.

But on the other hand, a lot of people who represent as catholics may have been raised catholic but we don't know how much of a role that plays in their life and their political views or how much they really follow religious authority. I was raised catholic myself and for loads of people who are part of that church, the word of the pope isn't really their law to live by.

And then there's also cognitive dissonance, that I imagine to play a big role with MAGA-hats.

All in all, I'd say the pope's influence is fairly limited there.

Der Absatz vor deinem Zitat nennt die Quelle ausgeschrieben, statt nur abgekürzt und verlinkt auf die Seite des Ministeriums.

Das find ich eigentlich recht transparent.

How many Americans are catholics though? (And how many of those are hispanics anyways?)

It's easy to ignore the pope, when he's not even part of your denomination.

Bathory cover memes?

I'm intrigued.

Das ist allerdings ein Zitat einer Stelle an einem bayerischen Ministerium im Bayerischen Rundfunk, wo die Zielgruppe in erster Linie die bayerische Bevölkerung ist, und die Ministeriumsstelle für ihr Zuständigkeitsgebiet spricht.

I disagree with that prediction.

The planet will be fine with it. Life will adapt to it. Even humans will survive it, as a species.

But our modern inustrialized civilizations will collapse.

The paradoxical thing is, that those greedy, wealthy elites who are mostly responsible don't care, because they think they're the ones to survive, when in reality, their wealth and power relies the most on the status quo of the rules of society.

It's not 'just' about plants and algae dying, it's about the tipping point for the climate. Oceans are a huge carbon sink, considering all the carbonates that Coral Reefs, Clam Shells and stuff like that are made of. The more acidic it becomes, the more those carbonates will react to become carbon dioxide, that will end up in the atmosphere, thus still enhancing the greenhouse effect.

Bit of a vicious cycle there.

Not American portions, but for a dish that is centered around pasta. Usually with a light tomatoe sauce, aglio e olio or something like that. And I like to have a second helping, so that's included.

If you're going for a casserolle or something else with lots of Cheese, a thick and creamy sauce, or relevant amounts of meat and/or vegetables to go with it, you'll need less than that.
