That's fascinating. I know about the English etymology, which comes from "cuckoo" because a number of species are nest parasites. Do you have any sources? I love etymological history.

That's hilarious because my priest at the time encouraged people to read the books.

I don't know, Batperson was still kind of violent. And he didn't have a butler, but he did have Koala Boy.

You're setting yourself on fire to keep her warm. You both agree she needs help, which is great, but she's doing nothing beyond that, which is not great. On top of that, I'm seeing a lot of manipulation. She accuses you of trying to manipulate her into feeling guilty, which is literally what she is doing to you. This is not a healthy relationship; a good partnership will build both parties up. She needs to work on herself, alone, before you continue any sort of relationship with her. You need an exit strategy before she affects your health any further.

Episode 237 is their most recent one about her. There's at least one more, but I'm not sure how far back it is.

Because then they can scream about open borders knowing that their base is either too dumb to know or doesn't want to know the truth.

Turning point USA is Charlie Kirk's (I think) organization. It's your typical right-wing "you're anti-capitalist, yet you live in a capitalist society. Curious."

Toilet paper USA is that format, but with Charlie Kirk's head subtly photoshopped (maybe).

Probably Peter Thiel. That shitbag throws money behind all sorts of online fascist spaces.

Send him to that big garbage island in the Pacific.

I didn't know he had the ability to choose to be born to a gross and shady emerald mine owner.

I would hope they recognize the Big Bang theory, given that the idea was first put forward by a Jesuit.

But seriously, a lot of people don't really get how big the switch from Latin was. My dad attended church pre- and post-Vatican II and said that so many people complained loudly that we'd no longer have mass in a dead language. I guess the Liturgy of the Eucharist used to be done with the priest facing away from the congregation and a lot of people also complained when it was done facing the congregation. God forbid the plebes feel like participants in their own religion.
