I have to hand it to
This falls into that same category as that squid business

Patrick Martin said:Look, I don't have anything to apologize for. Period. I just think there is a massive amount of room here for people to play games and manipulate the situation, on both sides of the fence. And if this isn't settled while things are still "hot," then we're cooked. In my book, 🤷
it’s like some girl from my past could come out of nowhere and accuse me of being a predator just because I stopped wishing her a Merry Christmas.
And before that happened, she’d be looking at me like I was some kind of savior, feeding this whole delusional hope that maybe one day I’d come crawling back. ☕
Patrick Martin said:Alright, look, buddy, do you seriously think I meant that literally? Like, give me a break. It was a figure of speech—basically saying that if someone doesn't report something immediately, then decades later, it's all totally worthless. I was talking about the context of these shady deals where people are looking for a breakthrough or some kind of profit. As long as there's a payoff, everyone plays nice, but once that profit disappears, suddenly it's "rape." Yeah, right. Not gonna happen.
Patrick Martin said:Look, once the damage is done, there's no use crying about it, and you sure as hell aren't gonna go fishing for participation trophies twenty years after the fact.
As far as I'm concerned, you either report it right then and there or you shut your mouth forever.
That’s my take on those "win-win" situations everyone loves to talk about.
But if we're talking actual, straight-up assault where someone's being silenced because of some heavy-duty blackmail? That's a whole different animal. It's messy, man. Everything is complicated. You can't just throw every single situation into one big bucket and call it even; every case is its own damn thing.
Patrick Martin said:Look, I’m only admitting to any lawsuit if the prosecutor shows up to court with their mouth full of cum, and even then, I want a live DNA test performed right there on the spot, in front of everyone ☕
Larry Fox5 said:Look, despite all the massive flaws this church has—and believe me, there are plenty—you have to admit the Franciscans were a total win. They left a huge mark on this country... I mean, an American monk literally wrote the first medical textbook, they set up dozens of schools and academies, and basically forced literacy onto the public. Plus, they’re easily the most humble order out there, actually focusing on people instead of just power...
Patrick Martin said:Look, nobody’s out here claiming the church needs to run the whole show or be the final word on everything, but let’s get real—it’s a massive pillar of society. Period. We’re talking about the context of our own country here. If it wasn't for the Catholic Church throughout history, there wouldn't even be an American people or an American nation to speak of. Honestly, if you can't wrap your head around that, you shouldn't even be bothering with a serious debate. You can take my word for it or toss it out the window for all I care, but those facts aren't up for negotiation.
So, it really boils down to this: you're either a patriot or you're a globalist. You can't really be both—well, maybe once you've actually made a mark in the economy or established some clout on the world stage, but we aren't even there yet. We haven't even figured ourselves out domestically, let alone internationally. If 80% of the population in America were Catholic, then the path forward would be crystal clear. ☕
Keith Patel81 said:Let’s get one thing straight: nobody here is out of their minds on heavy drugs, and I clearly missed the boat on the whole music debate ☕
Patrick Martin said:haha, where on earth did you find this absolute clown?
nah man, I’m just thinking out loud here, getting a little deep with it. Not saying I'm right or anything, just my two cents.
Charles Roberts33 said:Atheists are simply people whose understanding of spirituality never made it past elementary school.🤷
Patrick Martin said:Thank God we don't go around judging or casting people out here; we give everyone a fair shake. ☕George Best was an absolute legend, and he was Protestant. ☕
That's exactly why his life ended up the way it did. ☕Just a quick observation: even though most people playing soccer globally are probably Catholic, which might explain why half these players seem like total dimwits.
And how much of a moron are you being, calling your own idols dimwits?It's obvious Patrick Martin was actually paying attention to what Darij was saying.
Clearly you played fullback. 😂
Man, listen... the point was made specifically regarding the top ten players in the world. Maybe try actually listening for once. ☕
Larry Ortiz5 said:Look, it's just how Windows works. Once they pull the plug, companies like Norton and all those other software developers will eventually stop supporting their products too. You won't see official drivers for Windows 7 anymore. It’s the same story with Intel and AMD—hardly any motherboards being released in 2019 support anything beyond the latest OS. At the end of the day, it's all about the bottom line. 😁
Charles Roberts33 said:See, I never really was a huge fan of Floyd, I’ll admit that.
I tried back in high school. I forced myself to listen because of that mysticism they have—something you realize even before you press play. You just feel this sort of heaviness when, after all that buildup, their supposed greatness just keeps droning on (it's similar to Led Zeppelin or reading Dostoevsky). But man, to me, they always felt slow and monotonous, like they were delaying the point for no reason. Their sound just bounced off me. There might be one or two things I'll seek out when I'm in the right mood, but Dark Side of the Moon has always been a total drag for me to sit through. 😢.
But...
This is peak. It's actually very close to what I was looking for when I posted those first links. 👍
