If this story is true, did Colby think that the cardinal is not aware of the military abilities of Russia and China?

Given that those “abilities” are fairly anaemic, any knowledge that the cardinal has would increase Colby’s credibility.

Urban II, Eugene II, Gregory VIII, Innocent III, Honorius III, Gregory IX, Innocent IV…

So. Is the implication that people with the wrong political opinions are a bunch of cucks or what?

What I took from the preamble is that French people are a bunch of cucks.

Given that it’s illegal in France to do a paternity test, precisely because they worry that the results would cause the collapse of society, this all seems to fit together nicely.

Trump went so far as to say that he was planning to wipe out the entire civilization of Iran. Of course the pope spoke out against him.

A majority of popes would have considered this an unequivocal good. Indeed, several of them have tried to do it themselves.

I am not sure how you got from “I am glad that bureaucratic bloat has been reduced” to “Americans cannot envisage a positive future”.

Around 200 employees who worked on the issue, including at that office, have been reduced by about 90 percent, according to two current and former officials and a person familiar with the effort. The team that handles civilian casualties at Central Command, which oversees the Middle East, has dropped from 10 to 1.

This information improves my opinion of Hegseth.

It’s bad enough that I have to pay (taxes) for firing tomahawks at Iran; it’s insulting that I simultaneously have to pay for people to sit around and finger-wag that those tomahawks might do collateral damage. So I am very glad that I no longer have to pay for 90% of those people.

Figuring out a tactful way of assessing whether someone is single seems like a small trade off.

You’d think so, but no, it’s an insurmountable, socially paralysing cliff face for anyone vaguely neurotic (my past self included), especially those who have been involuntarily stewed long enough in the social messaging milieu of “Expressing unwanted romantic interest to a woman is Basically Rape”. But if she’s on an app, then she’s Asking For It so can’t really call you a creeper for cold approaching, can she?

Most people (both here and in wider society) seem to condemn dating apps in The Current Year; I still think they’re fucking great, because - while they certainly have many problems - they also solve many problems.

To be fair, dating apps haven’t gotten me a respectable wife in my half decade of using them, so they have technically failed the assignment. But dating apps have gotten a lot of Zoomer girls into my bed, which is certainly worth partial credit when 6 years ago I was staring down the barrel of incel-dom.
