Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He looks like that spitting dinosaur in jurassic park.

The Pope actually doesn't spit, the neck thing is a ruse to appear bigger and deter predators. When that doesn't work, he transfers them to another church.

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 14 points 1 week ago

Actually Pope's used to spit until they started keeping them in glass boxes

That's the dilophosaurus, and the Jurassic Park representation is probably an interpretation mistake (or, as with many other dinosaurs in the series, an artistic license for the sake of the narrative).

I think they all spit, I kinda doubt they're attending regular cotillion classes.

Pope should go sit in Gaza if he's so into ending genocide. Bring all of those fancy popettes from the Vatican with food and medicine. It won't work, because for some reason Isreal has become the de facto controller of movement in the entire region.

It's not bullets killing the masses now. The don't need a ceasefire. They need food and water.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 points 6 days ago

It would still be nice if they would also stop shooting them

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

I mean, they're also killing them with bullets when they come to get food aid

"Ceasefire agreement" is for two sided conflicts.

This is just a military force shooting at unarmed civilians.

cease fire isn't barely enough, end the illegal blockade.

Human culture is naive.

Many people have been calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and much more, but somehow when a random dude without a real job in ridiculous white clothing does it, it matters.
That's the power of cults...

What you said applies to most celebrities and CEOs, other than the ridiculous white clothing part. Hopefully you realised that the world has always worked that stupidly.
