I am not apologizing for the horrific abuses the church caused and covered up.

I was raised Catholic but no longer attend. Largely in part to these horrible abuses that were covered up. I lost faith in the institution.

Perhaps our difference is in what we view as “the church”. I see it as more than the institution and the terrible leaders it has had and still does. The many people who attend and follow that faith also constitute what many would define as the church.

By your comment you are clearly an atheist which is fine. But you are wrong when you say the church, i.e. all the people that follow that faith, exist to harm children. That is offensive.

Only on Lemmy could this have been downvoted. Try to start a conversation in a dead group and this is what I get.

If someone at a US consulate/embassy told you not to worry about the selective service because of your age, it’s probably fine.

Good luck sorting out your tax situation. My kids are dual US and Canada and haven’t had to pay any US taxes yet as there is a tax treaty between the two countries. It has been expensive for me to pay someone to file the US taxes though.

I know people in Canada who have gotten letters from their ISP via torrenting.

I didn’t know that part. Even worse.

Will try this tonight. Thanks!

Is Tubular an Android only thing? I can’t find it. I'm still looking for an iOS solution.

I saw this and was like wut?

Thanks for the Finance context. I figured they ran numbers and decided to go ahead anyway.

It’s sad that being public also encourages companies to act in ways that aren’t ethical as long as it maximizes shareholder value.

I just bought this same board, same switches but the silver black colorway.

It’s my first mechanical keyboard - kind of excited.

Definitely a differentiator
