The rent is too damn high AND people are shitting in the streets, but they're unconnected. Both things are happening but they're not related.

Bathtubs in the kitchen used to be a thing. That's where you produced the hot water, that's where you took baths. Indoor plumbing came about much earlier than indoor plumbing with heated water. You'd use your stove to heat the water, there was no hot water system.

Cold water flats were the standard apartment in NYC and many big cities until after WW II.

It's unlikely Richard I was gay. He was known for being exceptionally cruel, and although he spent one night sharing a bed with Philip II as a sign of unity, no one at the time thought anything of it.

He had at least one illegitimate child and held off on marriage because he was having an affair with a woman he couldn't have married for political reasons. Richard I spent much of his life putting down rebellions and going on crusade, it any of his contemporaries thought he was gay they would have made that accusation.

There's a mention to him committing a sin like in Sodom and Gomorrah, but it's thought to reference the fact that he would crush his enemies and rape their women.

>Oh we can make sweeping claims that were incapable of proving?

I'm not the one claiming they have the psychic ability to read minds.

​

>Lmao your opinion doesn't matter you're a plant by (insert entity) paid to do (insert task)!

Yeah, you got me. I'm one of the feared Macedonian content farmers.

>Fucking lmao. Do yourself a favor and close reddit for the day, I don't want you overworking the few braincells left.

Personal attacks are the best way to support your argument, you should join a debate team.

Alex Jones, who's been around twenty years spouting conspiracy theories, and who's never used violence or inspired someone to use violence, is nonetheless trying to incite people to use physical force, that's what you're parsing? When you're the only one hearing the dog whistle, it might mean you're the dog.

My standard is consistent, the word fight doesn't necessarily mean physical violence regardless of who says it.

Your standard appears to be selectively choosing what fight means depending on who said it and what you divine that person's internal thoughts are.

That's not a "gotcha!" you misunderstood what I wrote.

If the word "fight" has a broad meaning, including oppose, then you can't assume someone using the word fight is trying to get people to be physically violent. The assumption is that when Jones says fight it's "nudge, nudge, wink wink," he's really telling people they should be violent but he's going to argue that he didn't say it outright.

When Jones says fight, we're supposed to read his mind and know that he means actual violence, but when anyone says fight we know they don't mean actual violence.

The word fight is exclusively reserved for physical violence? When Biden said he was fighting for a woman's right to choose, what did he mean? That Democrats should physically attack all people who are Pro-Life, or just justices and politicians that disagreed with him? How are those people to be fought? Guns, knives, crowbars, what?

Or did Biden mean just him, he's literally going to fist fight people who disagree with him? He got a chain and fought off Corn Pop, is Amy Coney Barrett next?

I'm not a listener or fan of Alex Jones, but that's a blatant micharacterization of what he did on January 6th.

​

>Jones is actually quite careful to avoid directly inciting his followers to violence.

This sounds as if you're saying that you know he wants to incite violence but he makes sure he doesn't directly call for violence so he can't get in trouble. But that starts with the premise that you know he wants to incite violence. How do you know that? If he hasn't said it, how do you know that's what he's thinking?

Claiming there's a government conspiracy or that some people are actors who are pretending they lost children is vastly different from seeking out suicidal people, convincing them to enter into a phony suicide pact, and then giving them step-by-step instructions on how to kill themselves.

Saying something that's false, or that people don't like, or that people don't want to hear is protected speech. Walking someone through committing suicide is not the same.

They're not even remotely connected. Not even a little bit.

I knew a guy who used to be a monk. He had to take a vow of silence but every five years he could speak to the bishop. After the first five years he said, "The bed is hard." Five years later he said, "The food is cold."

On his fifteenth anniversary he said, "I quit."

The bishop said, "That's not surprising, you'd done nothing but complain since you got here."

Maybe for that particular order, but for Catholic nuns in general it's about five years. My daughter goes to Catholic school and two of the nuns are in their early twenties.

I'm involved in my Church and as far as I know there's no actual cut off for Catholic nuns. The Church doesn't want it to become a retirement program, but as long as you're able to be useful they'll evaluate your application.

Nuns often work in Catholic schools as teachers or administration, or in the parish community programs. They want people who are competent and active, but there's no hard age limit. There's an active outreach for younger nuns, but age is not an automatic disqualification.
