A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others."
Matthew 6:5 I like having a sign with just the verse on it at any public 'christian' event. I refuse to say which verse it is, but encourage them to look it up. Usually under the guise of, "I can't remember the exact wording / I don't want to misquote Jesus, so it's more impactful if you read it for yourself. You have your bible on you, right?"
The looks on people's faces when they think you're on their side, but then read an insult directly from their god... Priceless.
I wanna see ol' henry rise from the grave and burst through the doors like the kool aid man
Oh lord, this one got me good ❤️
Here's hoping this ends up like the last time a king Charles got a little too cozy with the Catholics
Public praying? Boring and disgusting. If the king is so inclined to resurrect some ancient traditions, why not revive gladiator fights?
Why not revive the guillotine
Too French for the British
Actually, the British beat the French to it. The Halifax Gibbet pre-dates the guillotine by about 100 years.
Yet another case where another nation somehow becomes better at a sport the British invented.
The southern English are trapped between a rock and a hard place with the whole thing. They do like the idea of stealing culture from the French, but they want to appear to be separate at the same time. And appearing northern would be even worse.
The French industrialised it.
That's barbaric, throwing rotten produce at criminals in a pillory would be fun though
Tomato red on an orange backdrop would look great!
So is being a pedo, he brought this on himself
You talking about Charles or pedos in general?
I mean.
I really don't think you'd even need to do slavery to do it this time.
Are you honestly telling me that in this day and age you couldn't find people willing to fight to the death for fame and glory?
If someone wants to do it voluntarily then why the fuck not? Bring back gladiators! Vae victus
for fame and glory?
Just pay them for a change, goddammit! Don't be so cheap!
Sorry if I was unclear, they'd definitely compete for large amounts of money, too.
I mean don't we already have this? I thought it was called UFC. Granted they aren't allowed actual weapons yet, but given that they're having matches at Trump's White House I figure it's only a matter of time.
Well, they're not allowed weapons and they both always live as far as I know.
As long as the people are aware of and consent to the danger I say fuck it. Give them weapons and let them go for glory.
You think that when the Pope leads a prayer in front of a crowd of catholic worshippers that this constitutes the kind of "public praying" that is worthy of criticism? King Charles is the head of the Anglican church, so it's no different. They are leading a prayer together.
I'm not religious so I don't care either way, but to classify this as "disgusting" is to completely lack understanding of the context.
is worthy of criticism?
Yes.
is to completely lack understanding of the context.
I do understand the context. In full. And find all these religious rites disgusting.
Wow this is a big step since that guy that wanted a divorce and wasn't granted it by the Pope decided to split from the Catholic church once upon a whenever.
I'm glad that the Catholic church got split then (lots of shady shit, they were directly taking donations to absolve sins ie. simony or indulgence payments) but this collaboration should not be relevant for most people.
No one sees an Anglican praying with a Catholic as a grand act of unity. Certainly not in the modern day.
Somehow my brain never put simony and indulgences in the same box. :) Thanks.
That was one whopper of a reformation!
He's going to fake it and think of what he'll have for dinner instead.
Sadly not. Guy seems to be a real Christian, which kinda sucks balls.
Whoop de fucken doo.
As American I say this is unacceptable! We should revolt!
