The canteen item's description in that game says it has a bunch of filters that turn water into Monster. I've always found that funny, like you stand in a river full of perfectly good water and your scifi thingie turns it into green bro-juice

The Internet was always reactionary like this. I think people who are nostalgic for a more innocent internet must have been children in 2007 or something.

Yeah American Catholics are largely distinct based on race and income from what I've noticed. Wealthy white Catholics have basically nothing in common with poor Latino Catholics other than supposedly the same religion

France is currently trying to ban Muslim children from going to school so clearly something went awry

Yeah that's not true, Louisiana is mostly protestant. It's had the national average of Catholics (around 21%) for decades now.

I think Louisiana just has larger numbers of white Catholics than other states.

Yeah Beto has also been vocally anti-Israel lately as well, but he's also not had any hope of a legitimate political career lately. That can't be making him friends with Democrats. He kept losing every race he was involved in, so the donors dried up.

Also in the 2020 primary there were so many candidates he had to pigeon-hole himself to one particular issue to be notable, he tried being the anti-gun guy. He did the thing Democrats aren't supposed to do which is confirm what Republicans think of them. Democrats are usually more submissive and conciliatory to Republicans. When accused of being anti-gun Democrats are supposed to be like "oh well uh, well, yeah you're right mr. republican we should still protect the blah blah." Instead Beto was outright saying "yeah we are coming for your guns, no one needs an assault rifle" and that probably didn't make him friends among the rich donor class who actually control everything

They went with Biden because they simply don't have anyone left

yeah the average person looks at Pete and visibly recoils in disgust. He'd be a Democrat version of DeSantis. He does well to his specific crowd, white comfortable nerds who work at Deloitte, but everyone else just sees a robotic weird rat man. Horrendous vibes emanate from him.

I mean I wouldn't put it past the democrats to put their chips behind him, but normal people see his entire vibe as fake corporate mandatory fun overly sentimental nothingness. He's a physical manifestation of Patrick Bateman. People don't look at Pete and see themselves, they look at Pete and see their weirdest supervisor at work. They see debate club nerds who they used to bully. They see a guy who would have worn a bow tie to elementary school
