re: New Pope: Pope Leo XiV

Posted by Upperdecker on 5/8/25 at 12:43 pm

Disappointing. He’s liberal on the major issues, and has a history of covering up sexual abuse cases. He’s a Francis guy through and through. Surprised everyone is upvoting it, he’s a poor choice that will continue the disgraceful internal culture in the central Catholic Church

What is it considered if one of Francis’ boys gets in? For that matter what was it considered when Francis became the pope?

Francis was considered liberal when he was elected - we just didn’t know the extent. If one of his boys is elected, same thing. He stacked the deck with tons of his followers

That’s bc the vote is anonymous. The world can’t judge individual votes, just the collective decision

re: White smoke reaction: JP2 isn’t walking back out on that balcony

JP2 was the rockstar pope. It’s a singular point in history, there will never be another. Benedict was actually a solid pope, but far more reserved. Francis had been trying to be JP2 but failing and contradicting doctrine. We need a conservative pope more like Benedict but less reserved and ready to engage in a global spectrum at a time when people need to come back to God

Did it say in the article how much he has pocketed? Revenue doesn't equal profit.

Reasonably we could assume 10%. At 18, that’s enough for life. If it’s much higher profit, which most AI and apps are right now, he’s definitely set up for a fun life

He doesn’t need a degree, he’s set up for life. he needs the social life and party atmosphere IMO. Miami will be great for him

If a conservative pope has been elected, it’s a sign of divine intervention. The cardinals are heavily stacked in Francis’ indoctrination

It’s the trade deal this morning

US-UK Trade Deal

U.S.-U.K. Deal Terms

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced details.

He said the U.S. would bring in $6 billion a year via a 10% tariff.

In return, the U.S. will allow 100,000 U.K. autos into the U.S. with a 10% tariff, below the 25% base automotive tariff.

Orange man actually did it. This will set the standard for all other trade deals. Massive income from one deal, with many more large deals to follow

LINK

Some more info on whether this could scale to cover income tax revenue from all earners below $200k. That revenue is expected to be around $700B. So we’re a long ways off from covering all of that

re: What’s your GO-TO weather app

Posted by Upperdecker on 5/8/25 at 5:55 am

Apple Weather. It used to be shitty before they bought Dark Sky and integrated it into their app. Now it’s pretty good. Dark Sky was really good for weather at your exact location (not just your city), giving very good alerts ahead of rain coming etc. Apple weather does the same now
