Yuuup. Trump getting elected once was the writing on the wall, I wasn't going to wait and hope he didn't manage to return to power. Turns out that was a great decision, the Netherlands are amazing.

Yea yea there's some schismatics out there that claim to be the "actual" pope but there hasn't really been an anti-pope since 1449.

"Pastor" is the term for the person that leads a church / church congregation. The general ranking of the hierarchy is:

  • Deacon (not yet a priest, are usually all volunteer, but can do some ceremonies)
  • Pastor or priest (ordained, usually employed by the Church itself, they're allowed to hold all ceremonies and conduct mass or church service)
  • Bishop (management level, must be 35, must be a priest for 5 years)
  • Archbishop (oversee multiple churches and run the archdiocese; there's 196 in the US. Wyoming has a single archdiocese)
  • Cardinal (upper management, only cardinals are allowed to vote on new popes)
  • Lastly - Pope. The man at the top, there's only one.

J.D. Vance is Catholic, and referred to the Pope as a 'pastor'. This would be like somebody saying "(insert American President) was a good mayor".

The Nazis started with the disabled, trans, gays, and autistic. The Jews came after the political dissidents.

All of your descriptions are hardly unskilled, those take a good deal of education, practice, and in the case of plumbers legal certification that probably involves an apprenticeship. It's absolutely a skilled profession.

In my youth I briefly worked for a temporary agency and did a bunch of odd tasks to fill in when needed. The least skilled thing I did was for a newspaper: sliding racks of newspapers from a conveyor belt onto a long table, watching this massive table vibrate the newspapers for a solid couple of minutes (to prevent pages from getting stuck together as the ink dried), then throwing in the day's collection of laminated ad inserts into each set, and then pushing the boxes onto the next conveyor belt down the line. Training was thirty seconds of instruction.

I would call it 'labor' because it doesn't need any adjectives or qualifiers. It's just work, somebody laboring at a task.

As somebody that rode a motorcycle for years: you can make eye contact and still be unseen.
