Unmarried young men.

Don't play liberal games - sex and gender are the same thing, and you can't change them or be something different.
The best you can do is dress up as the other, congrats to those folks playing dress up though.
Dysphoria can be a real thing, but it's incredibly rare and is a psychological issue. Like Left Side Neglect.

I am not a trans fan either and definitely think they shouldn’t play women’s sports but they make up less than 1% of the general population. Why is MAGA so obsessed with them?
There are a lot bigger issues out there imo.
1. They ask me to accept a warped view of reality, and demand me to adhere to their concept.
2. They are damaging themselves and don't realize it.
And most importantly,
3. They go after children relentlessly with their twisted thoughts.

I wasnt implying the movies themselves were 10/10 movies. I wouldnt give any one of them a 10 personally.
But as far as a body of work, none of those movies do you go "how the heck are they on that list for best movie of that yea"
Oh you were serious. My bad.
None of those are 10/10, or really memorable, and yes I could ask how the heck did they get on that list that year. Bad movie year.
Frost Nixon is probably the best movie on that list, and it's still pretty meh.
In hindsight The Wrestler, In Bruges and Doubt all deserved better.
Solid troll.

Eh, this is what we've done for years and it doesn't work. Instead of agreeing with them and having separate spaces - it's time to do some light antagonizing. Every pro-lifer in the area should walk in and try to buy coffee wearing a pro-life shirt. Pick the closest free corner and do a pro-life demonstration. Etc. Peacefully disagree and try to show him that there is nothing to be scared about. It's a perfectly fine position to hold and we can all disagree and be ok.
re: For those raised Catholic, what was the number one take-away lesson you got from it?

I’ve observed and been told by cradle Catholics in my parish that many who grew up in the Church don’t have much of a grasp on doctrine and theology. Most were poorly catechized. Unfortunately, it seems young Catholics are just expected to accept things and not really come to a deep understanding of their own faith.
I don't think it's that. I think the Church and Catechism have generally (at least until recently) failed in how they bring the churches word forward into the modern world.
It's a hard message to hear nowadays with a focus on comfort, money, ease of life.
Catholic life isn't easy. At all, and it doesn't aim to be. I would say MOST people who leave the Church, and who are saying things in this thread like "I learned not to believe," haven't been given the tools to rectify what the Church is calling for and what modern existence is.
This is fundamentally why the church has a tough time, and you either believe your way through it and accept, like some people do, or you have to put in the work to actually understand the whys, and most people don't want those answers.

XC2 was underrated, and the visual performance did not help.
The story was pretty great.
XC1 had the best story, XC3 had the best combat.
XC2 was the best blend.

When I was raised Catholic, I'll be honest... I didn't take much. That has a lot to do with the time period many of us were brought up in.
Be nice. Jesus is kind. Etc.
What I've learned since really digging in is way different from the faith I knew in school. A lot of truth there that isn't communicated well.

Never give money to any of these groups that fight for social causes. It's to their benefit the social issue remain because otherwise they'd go out of business.
You could probably say the same thing about most charities that work to 'solve' medical issues, too.
Bigger than that.
Things, any organization, group of people, etc. Want to persist. And they want to persist with the greatest amount of resources they can gather.
That's the simple rule. Look at every single different kind of organization, good or bad, and that's how they are built to operate.
When it comes to business - persistance and resources are not made necessarily by only solving a problem - but by creating problems to solve.
Charities. Government. For Profit entities. It's all the same core function.
