Yay time for my favourite meme.

[-] Dunstabzugshaubitze@feddit.org 58 points 6 days ago

there is no better candidate!

they are allready accepted as (turtle) pope, are more than willing to challenge dogma ("all things can be conjoined"), are obviously catholic (forgiveness is granted by the ritual of confession!) and they are the cutest dog in the lands between and thus a 100% certified good boi.

vote Miriel, vote turtle pope!

you don't have the right, O you don't have the right

Y'know what? I'm throwing it for Miriel, they can have it! Hear, hear for the new Pope!

Except, you are all aware we'll all be long dead before Miriel manages to physically get to the Vatican, right? Just saying, not complaining...

[-] Dunstabzugshaubitze@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago

Well, then we bring the Vatican to Miriel!

I vote for Doomguy.

  • Devout catholic (according to the Doom novels)
  • Celibate (stated by John Carmack)
  • Has ascended from hell multiple times

If we're gonna be all old fashioned about it and have another Catholic pope, my choice is Frank Skinner

[-] Rokin@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Just started playing Doom 2016, can second that.

[-] latenightnoir 21 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Me! Me, me, me, I wanna be Pope! I know, like... religion and shit, I can do it! Put me on the field, coach, I'm ready!

Edit: to sweeten the pot, first thing I'd do would be bring back all the good shit from the Old Testament - kill money, the rich are the Devil's butt warts, reinstate virtues, "make Heaven over here, ya' idjuts," the lot!

And I'll also respect the time-honoured tradition of interpreting dogma however the fuck I feel like! And I'll choose to interpret it as an MLP episode, where Friendship and Empathy are the true heroes! Open up the churches to everyone, turn all cemeteries into nature reserves, God says all shapes and sizes of marriage are legal, Meme Dump Sundays after Mass, "Jesus would say 'what the fuck,' too," focus on love! Make Catholicism Hippie again!

Tamers12345 for pope

[-] germanatlas 12 points 6 days ago

There already is a pope

At best you can vote for an antipope

[-] belastend@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago

Gibste mir mal den Reihwauch?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

Pretty sure that there currently isn't, according to Al Jazeera and The Oklahoman.

And yes, I did indeed choose those two sources from hundreds of search results because both are unlikely to be anyone's go-to source for pope-news 😁

[-] germanatlas 6 points 6 days ago

But the Kangaroo is well and alive and he has declared himself pope

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

..things I never thought I'd read 😄

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago
[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 days ago

That whole "Net Worth" section in her wiki is really, uhm, yeah it's really something else to read.
These people live on different planets.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 days ago

..there's no such section in her wikipedia article (in fact, the phrase doesn't appear at all, nor does the word "wealth") and, while she IS indeed many times richer than you and I will ever be, at $30m she's not even very wealthy for an A-List actor and singer. Were you hallucinating or reading something else?

For comparison, the most smug man in the world who doesn't live in the White House, Bill Maher, has a net "worth" of $140m (which IS "different planet" levels of wealth that should frankly be illegal) in spite of being a Trump-enabling asshole with little to no redeeming qualities.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Were you hallucinating or reading something else?

Oh weird! I guess the page is under active re-writes? I caught this snapshot a few hours ago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zendaya&oldid=1286834055

It reads very creepy and off-key. Good to know I guess, but really not the first thing people should see when they go to someone's Wiki page

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 6 days ago

Yeah, that reads like it was written by an unhinged PR rep on a coke binge lol

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 days ago

It sounds like it was written by someone who worships her and is also deeply in love with money. Unhinged barely covers it lmao

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago

You're 100% right Lol

[-] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

It's weird that there's a net worth at all. Most actors/musicians don't. It's especially weird that in this version of her page, it's the first section. Generally speaking for most persons, the pagest start with early life. I think you caught a vandalized version.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

yeah seems like

[-] Nonbinary_Sahrah 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yes, my child?

[-] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago

Poser. I'll be the next pope, thank you.

First thing i'm doing? Free ice cream for everyone.

happi now? hu?.-,-., hm!??!?! happi now?!??!!?!?!?!

i hope u r ;(

here translatd version of commnt belowSure, here's the text translated into more readable English:

Maybe I am... but sadly, those kinds of positions aren’t really about who’s actually best for it— but more about who’s the loudest about it, I feel...

Like— I think many, many people who say, “I don’t think I’m a good leader,” are actually some of the best leaders!!! Yes, yes, yes!!

I believe many people are just too shy to realize that they’re actually really, really worth something!!! Yes, yes—even you, the person reading this (even if you’re not commenting, it’s fine <3 no pressure <3 <3 <3 I believe in you!!! ~) I believe that you can very much be super useful in leadership positions, even if other people can’t see it because you’re not that assertive or whatever. Just—

  • Being good at planning is worth a lot!!!
  • Thinking of all kinds of scenarios and things that could go wrong is good! Yes, yes, that’s very valuable!
  • A combination of empathy, kindness, and also planning skills is very good! Imagine having a nice boss for once! That would be super comfortable, wouldn’t it? I’d work so much harder if my boss was comforting and kind <3

Okay, rant over—maybe you’re the new pope! :o

And if you are, I’m very, verrrry happy for you! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

And even if not, it’s totally fine! If other people can present themselves better— who cares! You’re still good, kind, nice, reasonable, and a wonderful user! <3

You’re worth a lot, please know that— — —

Please know that...

Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
