Archbishop Fisichella also unveiled the official mascot of the Holy Year 2025: “Luce” (Italian for light), a cartoon pilgrim dressed in a yellow raincoat, mud-stained boots, wearing a missionary cross and holding a pilgrim’s staff. Luce’s glowing eyes feature the shape of scallop shells, a traditional symbol of pilgrimage and hope.

The mascot, he said, was inspired by the church’s desire “to live even within the pop culture so beloved by our youth.”

Seems they’re trying evangelize the kids and are going to where they are. Gives me Buddy Christ vibes to be honest.

Seeing SM64 at Walmart was crazy to me. I can’t remember which game it was on PS2, but I was thinking there’s no way they can improve graphics from here on out.

If he did, he’d sacrifice himself as a lib SC would find him not immune. I’d do it.

I usually have to use starter fluid first time each year. I beat the shit out of it. Only changed the oil once, when I bought it second hand. I’m really waiting for it to fail to buy electric, but it’s been 3 years and and still going strong.

I remember reading a post where the she’s explaining her bisexuality to her grandma and grandma goes, “oh everyone has those feeling. I had feelings for one of my girl friends when i was a teenager.” She then had to explain that no not everyone has those feelings.

I like how hating on anesthesiologists is universal. Thank you for the chuckle.

Everything will be over insulated. We’ll all where “parkas” with integrated water cooling for our 6 month summers when we go outside

Playing side scrollers my whole life and seeing Mario64 at a Walmart. Being able to play in actual 3D and thinking at no way they can surpass this.

'Nam flashback to the Gif/Jif pronouciation wars.

Read an article on an early adopter that had over 30 year panels. They reported it was still producing around 70% of its original rated power.

It’s on Wikipedia as well.

Wasn’t trump firing a bunch of higher up and placing toadies trying to get the government to back him?

I got a wool blanket. I’m sure there’s away to fold/drape into a cloak.

Just looked into it. just need a pin!

me, reading: oh no… oh no!

Look at what they stole from us!

The prices are high over here as well, when the interest rate drops again I’ll look into taking a HELOC or refinance. I’m trying to put as much money into the principal as I can in the mean time.

Mine too! There’s slight water damage to the bottom kitchen cabinets and wooden floors, that we can for too fix, as water slowly leaked down the walls, but at least we got new roof, windows and doors.

Any recommendations on a decent company? My last grill is begging to be thrown away.

As an ex catholic, there’s a lot of hiding behind the veil of time.i haven’t read a lot of apologia and learned catechism when I was 15. Shits vague and blurry to me now, but I remember a feeling that the answers were long winded and not satisfactory. I should read Aquinas and some modern apologia, but epicurus’ paradox really sums up the beginning of my journey into looking into all the bullshit.

On the switch from literal to metaphor interpretation of the Bible, I think science has penetrated deep enough into nature that is just foolish to keep fighting it. The drought/ flood isn’t because God is punishing you for not believing/ praying enough. Here’s models and data, worlds on fire and getting worse.
