@ThomBrady5 New place opening up, went to the owner in person, and asked, boomer-style, if I could get an application: NO. You can't easily drop into these jobs even if you want/need to, the job market is fucked at EVERY level - they don't want you in grocery stores, either.

Right, but how much of Catholicism in the U.S. is sincere and how much is just projecting since it means anything you want it to be? Catholic converts in the U.S. are either on liberation theology because Saint Marx was consecrated in 1968, and on the right, there's no high church Protestantism to latch onto, evangelicals are déclassé, but maybe we can be tradcaths and continue the LARP.

I met this girl on the beach in California through a coworker. She was, I think, 19 at the time, had moved there a couple years earlier. Talked about her aspiring "influencer" career, then let slip her mom had helped her do her makeup when she was [underage] to go on a date with a guy in his mid-30s: this is absolutely a thing that happens.

For more on why the islands move and the canoe is stationary, a 1984 paper by Geoff Hinton (of ai/neural net/nobel prize fame) explains it cs.toronto.edu/~hinton/absps/… and I recommend also the final chapter of first-author Hutchin's book Cognition in The Wild, about the importance of culture.
