the Pope is infallible
Technically, the pope needs to explicitly invoke infallibility before making a statement if he wants it to be infallible. The last time this was done was 1950 to state Mary, mother of Jesus, had both her body and soul transported to heaven. Other statements are just the pope's opinion and followers of the faith are allowed to disagree without being heretical.
I love this video so much. The interviewer asks Shapiro to defend his stances and Shapiro responds by calling the interviewer a liberal.
"A Georgia law you support would have women who had a miscarriage face trail for potentialy 30 years in jail. Isn't that a bit harsh?"
"Oh, sorry, I didn't know you were A LIBERAL!"
Don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day.
We gotta convince the non-canadians this is how maple syrup is made
I remember an interview with a former NASA engineer that said NASA would never be able to do anything near what SpaceX (or any other private company) can do. The reason given is that SpaceX spent billions after billions on what were essentially very expensive fireworks until they finally achieved a breakthrough. A breakthrough that wasn't a guarantee. Even Musk himself had said he would have eventually closed SpaceX if they hadn't achieved something and it would have been a multi billion dollar failure. He, and everyone else really, got very lucky.
Imagine NASA asking taxpayers for another billion dollars after blowing up the last billion with no guarantee this next billion would produce anything but another explosion. How many times would the public foot that bill? Not even once. Not while people don't have healthcare and homelessness and hunger exist. The government can't justify it and that's just how it is. The only way we get space travel, with our current system, is to hope someone with a lot of money is willing to bet it on a breakthrough. It sucks but the problem isn't Musk, it's the system that makes us reliant on billionaires for nice things.
It becomes false advertising when you prove them wrong in court. Few people want to do that so most ads are bullshit. Even if they do get proven wrong, the settlement money is typically peanuts to the impact their ads have on sales. Red Bull paid $13 million for their tagline of "red bull gives you wings" while making several billion a year.
I was a funeral director and got this question a lot.
That's not how vikings had funerals. The only Norse who had that type of send off is Baldr, son of Odin, in Norse mythology. Real Norse were cremated or buried. Important people had huge burial mounds since they'd be buried with a lot of their possessions. In reality, if you burned a boat with a body on it, the result would be a charred decaying corpse floating back to land in a day or two. A ship doesn't have enough wood to completly burn a body and bacteria in decaying dead bodies produce gas which causes dead bodies to float.
It is possible to "bury at sea" depending on the area. The Canadian government charges a significant amount for a permit to do so and it comes with a lot of conditions like a weighted and sealed casket and being dropped far enough from the shoreline. I've heard they make the process as difficult and costly as possible as a way to discourage the practice. However, there are no restrictions on scattering cremated remains at sea!
Holy shit, what hospital puts "risk of stroke" that low on the triage list?
It's honestly impressive how we went from "only nerds know tech" in gen x to "everyone knows tech" in millennials to "only nerds know tech" in gen z.

Very cool, Coolio! I wonder how Eminem feels today. He initially gave Weird Al permission to do a music video for his parody of Lose Yourself, titled Couch Potato, but changed his mind just before Weird Al was finished filming it. Weird Al released a faked interview where he asks questions and Eminem's responses are clips of him from other interviews. It mostly centers around how much of a strong supporter of artistic expression he is and how he's against censorship of artists.
