REMEMBER:

if you don't understand the post at a glance it's because op wrote it wrong and needs your help

if the post doesn't contain all the contextualising information you need to understand it, op is gaslighting you

if you haven't experienced the phenomenon the post describes, op is making it up for clout

if you haven't encountered the type of person the post describes, they're a strawman that doesn't exist

if the post doesn't address a topic you'd prefer to talk about, it's a distraction, missing the point, and talking over you

if the post makes a good point, it is your duty to contribute to human enlightenment by nitpicking it to be more correct

and most importantly:

every online conversation is a competition and you must win

Yesterday Pope Leo presided over the Corpus Christi procession --as is custom on the feast of the Body and Blood of Christ--, and walked the mile between St. John Lateran and St. Mary Major carrying the monstrance (a rather big and very heavy metal object used to protect while showcasing the eucharistic bread) all the way, in Rome-in-June heat, while in full vestments (so, shirt, underpants, cassock, alb, cope, and humeral veil).

Alas all my brain can do when thinking about it is some version of the "Do you even lift?" meme.

Also: kids will play with anything.

It sucks that kids barely play with toys anymore. That's valuable creative play, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills that aren't getting developed. Plus toys are just neat

The in-law dynamic of "we're in each other's lives not through choice but because we both love the same person" is one of the best.
