I hope this time they elect a younger Pope
that will be around for a while. I've seen a lot
of Popes in my life.

Well I guess it's not as many as I thought it was.

I think that's as young as you can expect popes to be.
It's not advantageous to the church to elect younger ones.
They get so much attention any time one dies and a new one is elected.
The new pope is already causing MAGA outrage. They don't like him much. lol

Any honest pope wouldn't like MAGA, because they are anti-Jesus.

Here is a great story about why that happens...

Do you know the story about Nova Scotia sending a Christmas tree

blames children when Israel starves them to death, blames Ukraine when Russia wants
to conquer them, and blames the whole world for their own economic choices leading to poverty of the working class,... that culture ends up with people who ONLY care about themselves, and justify every action they take as a reaction to what someone else does.
I am 100% sure that the car driver thought they were being harassed for no reason,
and that they acted out of 'self defense'.
That's the result of people being taught to never look inwards, but only outwards.
You're just a neutral observer now, but many people would pick the car driver's side,
if the 'news' added any information that made them dislike the motorbike driver.
Maybe you would be able to “justify” using your fists to assault a woman because she did something to anger you? After all, women are seen in a different light than men, right? I don’t how anyone driving a minivan felt justified in ramming into a motorcycle/motorcyclist (unless the motorcyclist was brandishing a gun and the driver of the minivan felt that was his only option).

When I was in Florida, I was returning from Cape Coral and making a left turn from whatever road I was on and onto SR80. I went wide rather than tight not knowing that 2 lanes were allowed to make the left turn. Did I almost cause an accident? Yes. Was it intentional? No. Did it cause the guy that I accidentally cut off to swerve to avoid a collision? Yes. Did he handle the almost accident well? I don’t think so because when I hit my brakes I allowed him the opportunity to “recover” and get in front of me. Yeah, he used that opportunity to reduce his speed to “force” me to choose to go around him so he could cut me off OR in his choice, he just went super slow and from time to time, slammed on his brakes to show me how pissed he was…… NO, I believe people are fucked up, probably even in the Netherlands, too!
as i had heard there was slight differences but couldn't remember the details.
Is there a difference in water whether it’s brought to a boil on the stovetop OR if it’s “nuked” in the microwave?
Boiling water on a stovetop or heating it in a microwave results in no significant chemical difference in the water itself, assuming both methods reach the same temperature (typically 100°C at sea level for boiling). Water is H₂O, and neither method alters its molecular structure. However, there are a few practical differences:
Impurities and Contaminants: Stovetop boiling often involves a longer, sustained heat that can kill bacteria or reduce certain volatile impurities more effectively. Microwaving water to a boil (or near it) might not maintain the heat long enough to achieve the same sterilization, especially if the water doesn't fully boil.
Superheating in Microwaves: Microwaves can sometimes superheat water (heat it above 100°C without boiling) due to uneven heating and lack of nucleation sites. This can cause sudden, explosive boiling when disturbed, which doesn't typically happen on a stovetop.
Dissolved Gases: Stovetop boiling tends to drive off more dissolved gases (like oxygen or chlorine) due to prolonged agitation and heat. Microwaved water might retain more of these gases if it’s heated quickly without sustained boiling.
Container Effects: Microwave heating can cause trace leaching from certain containers (e.g., plastics not rated as microwave-safe), potentially introducing contaminants. Stovetop boiling in a metal or glass pot is less likely to have this issue.
Taste and Perception: Some people report a difference in taste, likely due to the retention of dissolved gases or incomplete boiling in microwaves, but this is subjective and not a chemical change in the water itself.
If you're just heating water for drinking or cooking and both methods reach a similar temperature, the differences are minimal for most practical purposes. For sterilization or specific culinary uses, stovetop boiling is generally more reliable. Always use microwave-safe containers to avoid unintended contamination.

… and since I have never spent a night in the hospital since I was born, I have never had anyone visit me in the hospital (knocking on wood).
facial ID sticker has been going on at hospitals here in South Florida for 30 years. CAT can probably confirm, we've had security at main lobbies of hospitals forever. Now, forget about the maternity ward, you have to give blood to get in there.

This is happening so often in your country, that deaf people are now communicating ways to each other to not get killed by police, as a result of being deaf.

Don't you understand how fucked up that is?
Cops should shoot for only one reason; if they don't, someone else will die in the next second. That's it! No bullshit like "He looked like a threat!" or "He didn't follow orders!". If one cannot do their job of serving and protecting, go find another job, in an office somewhere, like I do. Or be a waiter, or a mechanic, or a dentist.
Only be a cop if you respect people's lives and honor the badge that people allow
you to wear. And you should respect yourself, by demanding respect FROM police,
not FOR police.
to grovel to a cop at second notice, or it's their fault when a cop arrests them,
beats them up or kills them. That's not normal, phart! That's not freedom!
That's not a system that you should defend.
That's not a world that you should want to live in.
Anyone else agree with phart still, or is this making sense to you, at all?
Didn't you once call America "the land of the free"? Is this freedom to you?
Create a country where cops have a REASON to be afraid,
and you'll have a reason to be afraid of those cops.
Then there are lots of cops that act out on people who do exactly as they are told. These cops are clearly not qualified to be a cop, but they get transferred from precinct to precinct, instead of getting fired permanently. That's because you keep supporting politics that let the cops worry only about themselves and not about you. Why do you keep supporting policies that screw you?
What did the Democrats do, to make them fear little white girls?
Our cops are trained to de-escalate. That is safer for everyone involved.
It does help that our cops don't have to assume that everyone has a gun.
It's not very very few, it's lots and lots of times. The problem with right-wing Americans is that it has to happen to YOU or someone you love, before you
see the problem. As long as problems hasn't affected you personally,
you're unable to accept reality.
YouTube is full of actual cases of people who were just minding their own business getting a cop in their face for nothing. They get shouted at in a way like "Don't enter that house!" or "Don't touch that car!". If they then say "But that's my house!" or "But, that's my car!", that is "Resisting arrest" according to the cop, for which he arrests them and put them in front of a judge, demanding 6 months in jail. There's a legal channel showing all those cases, for people who didn't do anything wrong, but were confronted with a cop in an completely over-excited state. That can happen to anyone. If you just live in the same neighborhood as a criminal, or he's looking for someone of your color, size and age, or he's looking for a car that has the same color as your car, he assumes you are the perp he's looking for on the weakest of evidence. That's super dangerous to your health. You better freeze and do exactly as he says, because one move can be your last.
And how do you know how they interact with other people?
They of course interact with you differently, because they know you.
Would they tell you, if they put granny in the hospital for "resisting arrest"?
Being a cop is certainly not a safe job, but their risk is far less than lots of other jobs, while they're causing much higher risks to other people in their jobs.
Cops are not even in the Top 10 of most dangerous jobs.

There are 49.6 million teacher interactions every day in the United States.
There are almost as many teachers killed on the job as cops. Is that an argument?
Do you allow teachers to shoot students, for not following their orders?
Do you ever hear about the good related to teachers? I guess not lately, in the US.
Do you want a doctor, who was fired from several hospitals for killing patients by gross neglect of their responsibility, operating on you? That's the system that you willingly allow for cops. The bad ones get protected. You deserve better, so demand better!
You: "I didn't hear the cop, because I wore headphones!"
Phart: "Well, that's your own fault for wearing headphones outside!"
Now you're going to jail for six months for disobeying an officer.
Or, you ask Saint Peter at the Pearly gates: "Why am I here? What killed me?"
Saint Peter: "A cop shot you, because you didn't hear his order!"
Is that a world you want to live in?
because you are a dumbass that didn't listen to law enforcement.
because you traveled in the wrong circle of friends and got yourself shot.
because you swam over some water and got in the country illegally and committed crimes against our citizens.
because you think you are owed something because of something that happened 140+ years ago and think you don't have to answer to anyone.
because you were somewhere you flat out didn't belong like on a elderly persons private property.
just some examples.
I don't know what you're on about now, but none of it makes sense.
We just don't allow them to be judge, jury and executioner.
What are you trying to point out with your Texas example?
That's your cops failing to do their work, due to a society problem.
It's a society problem that YOU have and we DON'T.
We don't allow people to own military weapons, to make our cops fail at their job.
I just told you how many other jobs are MORE dangerous.
You're not adding anything to your original point to make it stronger,
you're just repeating your original point, which I have already rejected.
What's the difference between a "work accident" and a cop getting killed?
The end result is DEATH. In both cases the "employer" didn't intend it.
Risk = Frequency X Consequence
Other jobs result in a higher frequency of the consequence death
Other jobs ALSO result in a higher frequency of other consequences,
like serious injuries or disability.
Cops having a dangerous job is no reason to increase danger to innocent citizens.
but no, we have theives and murderers wandering the streets because your kind of people are more concerned about their rights than you are of the law abiding citizens. once you set a precedent of not punishing the crooked, they get bolder and that is when they start disrespecting and shooting cops. prompting cops to defend themselves.
my point about the texas case is those cops were more concerned about their own safety than the safety of the defenseless children and teachers. they were also more concerned about procedure than the safety of the kids or teachers because cops are so over regulated and are punished every time they try to enforce the law. rodney king would still be alive today had he not been driving drunk and disobeying the cops.
We have criminals too, but our police doesn't harm or kill innocent citizens.
How many times should I tell you that the police should protect and serve
the citizens, instead of prioritizing THEIR lives over the lives of citizens?
That's exactly what happened in Texas, which proves MY point, not yours.
you have to wonder why the cops prioritize their lives,it is not their lives, it is the high risk of punishment for actually doing their job they are trying to prevent in some cases, and in some cases, they are wimps and made a bad career choice. kinda like fellows that join the army for the free college education then find themselves in the desert fighting a war. duh
Again, you are making my point; I told you that bad cops should lose their jobs. That means overaggressive cops and that means cowardly cops.
Serve and protect or find another job. Why do you keep disagreeing?
The owners need to be beaten as well as the veterinarian that offered and performed the removal of the eyes.

It saddens me that quite often people view animals as accessories or belongings. People that sign on to become pet owners need to realize that their pets will be their commitment and financial obligation for many years. If people cannot or will not make that commitment, they should not own a pet. Period, end.
