Thank you I wish that when I internet searched it it was that clear and concise.
That shit literally said something along the lines of "of the levantinene people" and I was like how in the fuck was that supposed to be helpful? :lol:
No problem. I searched too because you made me think it was a French term I mistranslated, as English is not my first language (and I'm not sure to be that good with it) :lol:
Maybe a professional racist can confirm, but I think I've read somewhere Italians have like 50% levantine DNA since they brought so many slaves from there in the Imperial era.
 
This is semi-political, marzgurl's about to lose everything due to newsom's energy shit. And just the other day she was saying how much better it is there instead of living in Texas and working with conservatives lol.

 
Speaking of not being able to understand something and being able to admit it when I don't, I have never understood why Mexicans just don't clean up their own shitty country.
Fuck me dead, if they worked half as hard cleaning up their own mess as they do trying to sneak over here, they could be brown Canada within a generation.
They sleep too much.

 
The shroud of Turin is known to be faker than a prostitutes orgasms.
I've done drunken wrestling moves on my girlfriend that were more believable then that blasphemous forgery.
I dunno, I've watched several really persuasive youtube videos that told me otherwise.
I'm not convinced it's a forgery, but I'm not sure it's real though. Carbon datation says it's a middle-age artifact, and the only thing that disproves it is some kind of strange Catholic only scientific congress. Even if it is a forgery, it's one of the strangest artifact we have. No one successfully made one without using high-end modern technology, and I can't understand why someone anonymous in the middle of Europe would make such a strange fake relic.
As a new Catholic, I'm still sceptic about many miracles or relics, but everytime I try to understand the arguments about them, I'm more confused than anything
 
Trade deficit was down slightly this year. Will be interesting to see where 2026 goes if there is no panic importing or tariff repeals.

Still have no idea how Trump got the down 78% when it was down from $904 billion in 2024 to $901 billion in 2025. The third highest ever recorded. Lying about the economy didn't work for Biden and it won't work for Trump. Republicans lost in 2018 when the economy was good and inflation wasn't out of control.


Also, since the day after Bondi made her weird claims that 'pedos don't matter because stock market' both the dow and S&P have not been above 50k or 7k. The admin setting in stone numbers for what is deemed a good economy was a bad move.

To claim it was the blanket that Jesus's corpse was wrapped in when carbon dating says that it's from the Renaissance period is the definition of what a forgery is.
Just because someone faked something centuries ago doesn't make it less fake.
Currently the Vatican may have possession of the shroud of Turin, but they have let independent scientists do research on it. You know what that research said?
Myth: busted.

Then what do you make of the claim repairs on a corner of the shroud were made after a fire some time around the Renaissance and that's the corner they took the sample from for the carbon dating?

It still doesn't explain how they made an impossible-to-make artifact in the middle of Middle-Ages. And we don't know why they would make something that unusual instead of the regular Crown of Thorns or any kind of stuff like this. Those are for me the most powerful arguments for the Shroud.

Seems like something that would be easy to test again. Pretty unlucky though, 1 in 4 chance of getting it wrong.

Shitty form, but, you know, 99% of politicians can’t even hit 135. I’d like to see how he fares against RFK Jr.
I’d give his form like a 7/10. He rows a bit on his right side, indicating uneven muscle strength. His ass comes off the pad for like a second, but he quickly corrects. Then he locks his elbows at the end of the rep. Plus he has that gay compression sleeve that literally does nothing.

Actually, minus a point for the gay ass compression sleeve, 6/10. Hey that’s not bad, always good have room to grow.

How CONVENIENT that the piece of the blanket that has the perfect picture of dead Jesus was taken from the corner that the Vatican knew was repaired in the renaissance.
(There was a gif here but a mod is playing fast and loose with my ability to crack wise)
So the Vatican, the one place that would want the shroud of Turin to be real so that they have irrefutable proof of Jesus to convert more people to Catholicism intentionally fucked up the certification of a holy relic so that they COULDN'T use it to convert more people?
Yeah that doesn't sound retarded at all to me. You make a persuasive argument, Catgirl. Hang on one second I just have to cough
There was another gif here mocking what you were saying but again, thanks mod! It's nice to know we're not allowed to have too much fun around here.
Please tell me more about why the Catholic church would shoot themselves in the foot for fucking no reason whatsoever.
