sxan , to news in Boeing: How much trouble is the company in?
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

I have a simple solution: force Boeing to go back to it’s management roots. Require all C-levels to have engineering degrees.

But the shareholders would rather see the company be shut down than give up some profit.

Also, put an end to their union busting garbage. Then quality that they were known for was established when all of their labor was done by well-compensated union labor, instead of outsourcing to get around union contracts.

partial_accumen , to news in Alabama enacts fast-tracked law to protect IVF services

At least three IVF clinics paused treatments in the wake of the ruling, which divided Alabama’s conservative

The outcome was worse that just pausing. Because clinics didn’t have clear guidance about responsibility about fertilized eggs, clinics refused to release them to the prospective parents.

As soon as this new legislation passes and the pause is removed, the smartest patients will immediately transfer their fertilized eggs out of the state and outside the control of these religious zealot lawmakers and state supreme court justices.

You also can’t just pause IVF on an individual. It takes weeks or even months of planning.

I am not a morning person! It takes time for me to wake up and articulate science!

But I have tested this, and have to say it doesn’t really seem to have made any difference? Maybe slightly less bitter, but maybe that’s just placebo. Not that I have a problem with making overly-bitter tea in the first place, maybe this so-called scientist squeezes their teabag like in the photo and that’s why it needed fixing to begin with.

The article is pretty vague on the correct amount to use so it’s also possible I didn’t do it right 🤷‍♀️

Well I appreciate your scientific curiosity

Eheran , to worldnews in Pope Francis says sexual pleasure is 'a gift from God'

So is the pope speaking for/to God or not? Fucking Religions can’t even be consistent within their own made up framework.

givesomefucks ,

If he’s standing it’s his own words.

If he’s sitting on his “throne” then it’s the word of God and the Pope is infallible.

Doesn’t make any sense rationally, but that’s how they differentiate.

He can say this progressive stuff while standing and it just pisses conservative Catholics off.

If he does it “from the throne” we’ll likely see a formal split and conservative Catholics may even nominate their own Pope and officially split.

taladar ,

So, as with any other person, when “on the throne” more shit comes out?

Eheran ,

Is this actually true?

givesomefucks ,

Do you mean is it Catholic doctorine?

Yep.

If you meant “does God literally speak thru the Pope but only when he’s on his special golden throne?”

Then no, it’s not true

bionicjoey ,

The reason it’s only the word of God while he’s sitting on the throne is because the holy Spirit enters through his butt and talks through him like a puppet.

ahnesampo ,

Most of the time the pope is no different from any other Catholic. He has a lot of respect by virtue of his post, but what he says is not the word of God.

This changes if he speaks “ex cathedra” (Latin for “from the chair”, the throne the previous poster is alluding to). Ex cathedra means the pope is defining dogma for all the faithful as the supreme pontiff of the Catholic Church. Think of it as the difference of the US president saying something in a private conversation vs. him issuing an executive order. When the pope speaks ex cathedra, he is considered infallible in the Catholic faith.

Popes rarely speak ex cathedra. Most of Catholic theology is settled, so there is rarely need to clarify anything. The last time it happened was in 1950 about the Assumption of Mary.

Papal (and church council) infallibility does mean that the Catholic Church can never change its mind about things like homosexual marriage and abortion. The Catholic Church says it is Christ’s church on earth, and is protected by the Holy Spirit from error that could lead Christians astray. Saying that they got something as vital as “what is and is not sin” wrong would undermine the church’s entire foundation.

Doods ,

From your wording and the upvote ratio, I conclude this conversation is going nowhere, I hope you find the right path.

JJROKCZ ,

Make sure to protect your head when you get off that high horse, it’s quite the fall.

There is no right path, make the best of life you can and if the gods have a problem with that then they didn’t deserve worship to begin with.

Israel’s lies …

Mark Regev, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told the BBC’s World This Weekend that “Israel does not deliberately target journalists”.

“We’re the only country in the Middle East that actually does have a free press. We’re the only country in the entire region where the press can write bad things and criticise the leaders of government,” he said.

“To say Israel deliberately targets the press is ridiculous, we’re the only country that actually enshrines the free press.”

AMillionNames , to world in Ukraine war: Zelensky says Israel-Gaza conflict taking focus away from fighting

It’s creating a new front in regards to the proxy wars. Russia still has the numerical advantage over Ukraine in regards of people it throws into the grinder, but now Iran can get more involved by trying to harass through the Israel-Hamas conflict which decreases the provisions available for Ukraine.
