There's been a lot of uncertainty in this community about how exactly to torrent safely, especially on how to bind your VPN to your torrent client, if you even need a VPN, and safe sources for pirated content. So, I made a flowchart and tried to make it as simple as possible while also being thorough with my sources and information. Enjoy! EDIT: If you live in a European country, please be extra thorough when researching if you need a VPN or not. Sweden and Denmark for example can send letters or fines, France can sometimes do this although it's more rare apparenty. EDIT 2: For the people asking me "Why are Israeli-owned VPNs like ExpressVPN, PIA, and CyberGhost considered unsafe?" - Kape Technologies, the company which owns ExpressVPN, PIA, and Cyberghost, [used to produce malware under the name Crossrider](https://cyberinsider.com/private-internet-access-kape-crossrider/), and has [links to Israeli intelligence](https://archive.is/azYHr) ([Unit 8200](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_8200), the cyber division of the IDF.) # UPDATE FOR MACOS QBITTORRENT USERS: Need help binding? To find your VPN's network interface on MacOS, 1. Turn on your VPN, 2. open Terminal and run "ifconfig -v". >(ifconfig is a command that shows every single network interface on your computer + what it's connected to, and the -v, which stands for "verbose", simply makes the command spout out more information, such as: the name of the VPN you're using, which is very helpful in our case.) 3. comb through the list of interfaces in Terminal until you (hopefully) find the name of your VPN listed under one of the interfaces. Then, go to qBittorrent > Settings > Advanced > Network Interface, and select your VPN's interface. Tip: The names of the interfaces in MacOS are weird jumbly stuff, like gif0, stf0, utun0, utun 1, etc. So make sure you set the right interface ;) It's also important to note that on reconnects on MacOS, your VPN may switch to a different network adapter and you'll have to repeat these steps if you want a working torrent client.

I’m still new to the credit card world. I have an Apple Card that’s through Goldman Sachs. And I make sure to pay the balance off each month. But my aunt has an AmEx card she uses for basically everything. And she makes sure to pay the balance each month as well. But she is also a bit more well off financially than me or my parents. I know AmEx has their black card for their ultra wealthy clients. But I’m wondering if, even with “starter cards”, AmEx is generally for the wealthier individuals of society.

I relocated to Seattle three months ago after dreaming of living in the PNW for over a decade. Having had a lot of time to explore and get settled, I wanted to share some of my experiences as a former East Coaster: * “Seattle Freeze”: sorry guys, I’m just not seeing it. Overwhelmingly people here have been friendly and helpful. Strangers have been open to conversation, and when I sit on my patio folks stop to say hi and talk to me about my plants. The one thing I’ll say is that folks in general seem a little more reserved (I’m a native Southerner so I don’t expect anyone to match my socialization energy), but I wouldn’t call that a “freeze” by any means.  * Cleanliness and urban beauty: this is really a remarkably clean and gorgeous city by American standards. The architecture is amazing, the green spaces are well-kept, and most of the streets have been clear of trash. It shouldn’t be a pleasant surprise anywhere, but I rarely have trouble finding a trash can outdoors. You may be shocked to find out that this isn’t common at all in other cities and probably contributes heavily to the presence of garbage everywhere. * Homelessness: yup, it’s a problem. That said, I haven’t found it to be any worse than what I’ve experienced elsewhere. The big difference is that in Baltimore/DC (my last two cities), the focus is on hiding the problem, so unhoused people are uprooted and corralled into parts of town that are less visible. It’s not uncommon to turn a corner and find an entire city block full of homeless and substance-addicted people cramped together because they’ve been stuffed there by the police so the rest of the city doesn’t have to look at them. It’s also heartening to have a city government that is actually making constructive efforts to address these challenges, instead of sweeping them under the rug. People here also have generally expressed empathy rather than disdain for these populations. * Access to nature: this one is a given. Both within and outside the city, the scenery and activity options here blow away anything you’ll find on the other coast.  * Drivers: I’ve read a lot of comments about bad drivers here, and all I have to say is that y’all are adorable. I’ve had no issues at all and I’ve driven quite a bit in the past few months. Back East I’ve dealt with some of the most aggressive, erratic drivers you can imagine. Red lights are treated as a suggestion rather than a rule, and god help you if you try to use a crosswalk.  * Crosswalks: did you guys get lessons on crosswalk usage from the Canadians? People actually wait for the signal *even if there’s no oncoming traffic* and it is so cute. Pedestrians back East are almost as dangerous as cars, crossing against lights and wandering across busy streets without a care in the world. I’m still training myself to always wait for the signal. * Public transport: wow, what a pleasant change. I’m used to buses that either show up **extremely** late, or in many circumstances blast past your stop even though they’re in service and have plenty of room. I’ve found the light rail to be efficient and unbelievably clean compared to Baltimore’s filthy padded cells that amble through town seemingly on their own schedule. Even the DC Metro, once considered one of if not the best systems in the country, has gone way downhill in the past 20 years and is often filthy, unreliable, and in a few experiences I’ve had, dangerous. Also, tap to pay on all transit? What a luxury. * Cost of living: yes, very, very high. That said, most things such as rent and food cost about the same as DC, but with far better city amenities and a much more laid-back atmosphere. I’m also seeing higher salaries in my field here and no state/local income tax (a huge deal in Maryland), so overall I think the difference will be a wash. tldr; My experience in my first months in Seattle has been amazing. I now fully understand “I’m never leaving Seattle.” I had been actively looking at emigrating to Canada before moving here, and now I’m second-guessing that idea since I’ve found a place in the US that is very, very wonderful to live in. Picture: me, Violette and Sheba (RIP).

**I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/Odd-Celery-123** **Originally posted to r/bridezillas** **Should I Feel Guilty for Skipping My Friend’s Pricey Wedding?** ---- [Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/bridezillas/s/cW4F9fOhXh): **September 12, 2024** Hey Reddit, I need some opinions because I’m feeling a little lost. My friend Karen (30F) is getting married, and while I’m super happy for her, she’s planning a huge destination wedding in the USA (we live in Europe). She keeps calling it her "real" wedding, even though there’s supposed to be a smaller one in France where we can all go but we are not invited (yet). Here’s the thing: Karen is really pushing for my boyfriend and me to go to the USA for this wedding. I’ve tried to explain to her that I just don’t have that kind of money lying around. Her solution? Start paying for flights now in small installments and figure the rest out later. Honestly, though, I just don’t have the budget, and this would eat up my holidays for 2025, which is not really how I want to spend it. Don’t get me wrong—I love her and would be so happy to see her on her big day, but... is it me, or are brides becoming total bridezillas with these crazy demands? Do we really have to change all our plans because it’s "their year"? Why do so many weddings now feel like a massive financial burden on the guests? Karen doesn’t seem to understand why I’m hesitating, and she keeps pushing us to get the tickets, and I’m starting to get frustrated. I even asked her about the second, more local celebration, but she brushed it off and kept insisting on the USA wedding. Am I being unreasonable for wanting to skip this whole destination wedding thing? **Relevant / Top Comments** **Commenter 1:** A person who expects you to go into debt for their party is not your friend. If they really want you there, they should offer to support you financially but it's unreasonable to expect your friends to fly across the globe for your pleasure and pay for themselves. If you plan a destination wedding you either pay for the people you want there or expect that some of them might not come. > > **Commenter 2:** Wish I had realized this was the norm before my ex and I went into debt to go to a friend's destination wedding in Maui. The only thing they paid for was the luau that we attended as their "reception" (not private, we just had our own 30 person table, there were about 100 people there.) They also got free nights in their wedding suite based on how many of us booked our rooms at their hotel. The bride's father did pay for a sunset cruise "rehearsal dinner" that we all went on the day before the wedding (bride's parents live there.) The day after the wedding, we all went on an excursion to Lanai but had to pay $250 each to go. I was there for four days and spent over $4k between gift, airfare, hotel, food, and activities for myself and my ex. The couple divorced a year later. **Commenter 3:** The bride is probably trying to ensure her room is free by getting X number of people to book. A friend would accept that you couldn’t make it. Tell her to send you the info for the livestream so you can attend from home. Brides do not get a year, expensive hen/bachelorette parties and everything they want. They can hope for it but unless they’re paying everyone’s expenses it’s just not doable for everyone. She needs to realize this. Since you’ve said no, be prepared for her to ask you to be in the wedding party to try and get you to attend. Hold your ground with the no. No is a full answer. If you have to, stress that as nice as it would be to attend she needs to be aware that not everybody has the means and the time to do this and her constantly asking is going to hurt the friendship. **Commenter 4:** No one should ever feel guilty for not being able to afford a destination wedding. Your friend should understand that not everyone can afford it and not trying to guilt trip you into going. Out of curiosity, where in the US is she getting married? > **OOP:** They are actually getting married in Napa Valley. The MOB is from there, which is the main reason she chose to tie the knot there.   [Update](https://www.reddit.com/r/bridezillas/s/UwMNR3vi1G): **February 17, 2026 (17 Months Later)** **UPDATE 1 year later: Destination wedding fallout** Hi everyone, About a year ago I posted here about skipping my best friend’s US destination wedding because it would have cost me and my boyfriend around 4–5k, which just wasn’t financially realistic for us. I wanted to update because I genuinely don’t know if I lost one of my closest friendships over this. **For background:** We all live in Paris. She’s American, big family, wedding in a beautiful wine region near where her parents live. Very aesthetic, very Instagram, very curated. The groom is French. My boyfriend actually introduced them years ago. We weren’t casual friends. We were see-each-other-every-other-day friends. Wine nights. Random weekday dinners. Group chats constantly. Trips. Real-life closeness. When the US wedding was announced, I did the math. Between flights, hotels, activities (boat day, wine tours, etc.), it would have been close to 4–5k for us if we stayed a week. That’s a huge amount of money for us. And the entire Paris friend group felt the same. No one here has family in the US to combine it with. Before the US wedding, she came to us with a big bouquet and a bottle of wine and asked us to be bridesmaid and groomsman. It was filmed. Very emotional. Very “moment.” The thing is, I had already told her it was almost impossible for us to go. It felt like being emotionally cornered on camera. We didn’t say no in that moment because… how do you? It was awkward. But a few days later I met her alone and told her clearly we couldn’t commit because of money. We wouldn’t be able to travel or do anything else that year if we went. She brushed it off. “Yeah I know.” But something shifted. **Important detail:** before the US wedding, we organized and fully paid for a Portugal stag/hen weekend for both of them. It was amazing. We put effort, money, time into celebrating them. So it’s not like we didn’t show up in other ways. Then, 2 months later, came the small French wedding (yes, we got the invite!). It was beautiful. Intimate. So fun. But she was different. Distant. Polite. Surface level. Not the person I used to sit with for hours talking about everything. Now it’s been about 6-7 months since that wedding. I’ve maybe seen her 5 times. Every time the group tries to meet, she makes excuses. Or insists we come all the way to their place (45 minutes outside Paris) instead of just meeting centrally where all of us live. It feels like a subtle barrier. Meanwhile, she messages my boyfriend weekly for work advice. “Let’s meet soon!” texts. Professional warmth. But with me? It’s cold. How’s work. How’s life. End of conversation. I’ve tried reaching out. A few “let’s get a coffee and chat” messages. Always “yes soon!” but it never happens. After a while, I stop chasing. And I can’t help but feel like I didn’t fit into the wedding storyline she imagined. The American bridesmaids flew in, the Instagram content happened, the dream aesthetic was fulfilled. The Paris girls didn’t. Did we get quietly downgraded? I don’t know if she consciously resents us for not going. Or if weddings just reorganize people’s emotional priorities. But it feels like I lost someone who used to be one of my closest friends and that makes me really sad. Am I overthinking this? Did I underestimate how much not going would hurt her? Or is this just what happens when expectations don’t match reality? \---- **UPDATE:** Writing here my last comment for better reach as I see many ppl wondering the same things: Wow I am really speechless - I was not expecting so many replies! Thank you for taking the time to read me (yes, I used ChatGPT to help me develop the story as I don’t express myself as well as I do in French🙃) To clarify a couple of things that have been asked here: \- My friend has also fallen off with the rest of the girls in the group. I didn’t think about this until pointed out by you, but yes, it’s not only me. For example, a few weeks ago it was one of our friend’s birthday and Karen didn’t come. She told me and another girl in a private WhatsApp that she was very tired and that she is not really that big friend with her to make an effort- I know they don’t catch up one to one but still, she went to her Paris wedding (after winning her battle to cancer- extra effort there) and bachelorette + she’s been there for most important things. I don’t know but that comment didn’t feel right with me at all and I am just realizing now. The rest of girls really don’t see them as much. Karen was mainly doing one on one catchups with me and another girl, so I guess the rest don’t really have the same relationship as us.. (btw I have not said anything to our other friend.. I feel weird talking about Karen with her and that’ why I have reddit, haha) \- About meeting her at her place, I would 100% go if she invites me. The only times she has told me to go is when I tell her that we are meeting the group at this bar asking if she wants to come. Whenever she doesn’t feel like, she says that it’s too far away and that you should do something close to my neighborhood. The thing is she never ever replies on time.. so by the time she says that, we are already there or going to the bar. By then, it’s difficult to make the effort to take the train and go somewhere else. I also wanted to point that we all commute, the group doesn’t live walking distance to each other, we all are scattered around (30min to 50min commute at times) but we happen to work in the same area, so we almost always meet around there. Thank you again for your advice! (this was not written using ChatGPT lol) **Additional Information from OOP:** > **OOP:** Thank you everyone for your comments. I just want to clarify a few things. > > Accommodation in the US was not included. The hotels and Airbnbs she suggested were around $300+ per night. For one week, plus flights, plus activities (wine tour $150 per person, boat day drinks not included, other excursions), it really added up close to 4–5k for us as a couple. That is just too much for our reality. > > It was not about not caring. We organized and paid for the Portugal weekend before. We went to the French wedding. We did celebrate them. > > About the “aesthetic” part, I don’t use Instagram or TikTok, but I saw through friends that she posted reels of giving bouquets to the bridesmaids (cutting us out obviously). The whole thing felt very curated. Maybe that created expectations. > > Also our group is very international. We all met at an international company; Americans, Colombians, Portuguese, Spanish, French. It was not about excluding her culture. It was just money. > > And about meeting now, Paris is big. We all commute 30+ minutes every day and work central, so it makes sense to meet there. > > I don’t think she is a bad person. I just think something changed and it was never talked about. That is what hurts. > > I just don't know if I have it in me to confront her at this point. **Relevant Comments** **Commenter 1:** what is the point of having two weddings if not to allow people to attend one or the other > **Commenter 2:** To be the center of attention TWICE, of course. > >> **Commenter 3:** And the Portuguese bachelor/ bachelorette party that OP and husband paid for? I count three it’s all about mes. >> >>> **OOP:** The engagement weekend (flights, hotel, restaurants, drinks) was paid by all the Paris friends (10 of us in total). We all wanted to prepare something extra nice knowing that we could not make it to the US wedding. **Commenter 4:** you need to tell your boyfriend to be very slow responding to her texts (like the next day at least) and to minimize what he says to her and if there is no REAL reason to tell her to stop texting him. you didn’t say he works at the same place as you, so I really does seem, like someone else said, that she’s doing it intentionally to hurt you. you are clearly the only one who still considers you two to be friends > **OOP:** They used to work in the same department at the company where we all met and she often likes to lean on him for advice or help. > > I don't think it's my place to tell him how to behave towards her. He knows my issues with her, and I've told him many times how sad it makes me feel to be downgraded like this as a friend over a wedding. > > They are also friends and part of the group, him and Karen's husband are good friends, so I really don't want to start an internal battle. **Commenter 5:** She consciously resents YOU at least. I think she's probably staying so friendly with your husband just to rub in how distant and disappointed she is with you now. She's pissed that you didn't do your part to make her Insta-worthy wedding your top priority. Let that friendship go - she's proved herself to be a shallow, mean girl. Stop reaching out, stop including her in group get-togethers, just stop. She loves that you're chasing her and she's not done punishing you Paris girls for not going into debt for her wedding. Fuck that shit. **Commenter 6:** Before the “oF cOuRsE sHe’S AmErIcAn!!” comments come in 🙄, I’d like to quickly say most of us aren’t like this. People generally tend to be cognizant and kind when it comes to issues surrounding invites and money. That being said, OP—this is not a friend. Did she want you to be present at such an important event? Of course, and it was her choice to extend the invite. However, if you plan a destination wedding, you should expect that not everyone will be able to attend for various reasons (finances, childcare, the list goes on). You are well within your right to politely decline and celebrate her in the other myriad ways you listed. If she has determined that this was the breaking point and remains cold, there’s not much you can do about that. But please don’t feel guilty due to setting healthy boundaries. And please also don’t trip over yourself trying to “make up” anything—there’s nothing to make up.   **DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7** **THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP**

My wife and I are mid/late 30s and bought a cottage a couple years ago. Some Americans refer to this as a lake house or cabin. We go most weekends in the summer and usually take an additional 1-2 weeks vacation there throughout the summer as well. And still go through the fall-winter-spring. So it's frequent. I go into work afterwards. How was your weekend? Good. What did you do? We were up at the cottage. Then I'll get an eye roll or similar expression from one lady in my department. Yesterday a one of the guys said sarcastically "oh a cottage, must be such a burden maintaining TWO properties". The person who asked the quest looked at him like: wtf? So I guess I just won't ever mention what I do on weekends. What did you do? Not much just hung out. I understand the optics given housing and general life affordable, but for Christ sake we all make about the same amount of money and we all know it. Edit: wow this got more feedback than I expected! Thank you!

Recently ko lang nalaman itong **Banal na Pagaaral**, they claim catholic church approved sila. If anyone googles the internet about the name **"Mahal na Ingkong"** in one link or more you will find or redirected to a certain organization from the Philippines under the name "Banal na Pag-aaral" or BNP for short. Along with the displayed links is the Mahal na Ingkong of the Apostolic Catholic Church and of the First International Sacrifice Valley Kilusang Katoliko Inc. (FISVKK Inc). https://preview.redd.it/v9e6gn7k9cjh1.png?width=240&format=png&auto=webp&s=e4d6dccb83b30257bb3d200706717f54f482573e The Banal Na Pag-aaral was founded by Ate Salve on April 7, 1968 in Novaliches, Quezon City, Philippines. Its mission was simple: to bring the people back to God, and to bring God back to the people. Since its inception, the movement has spread worldwide, with chapters established throughout the United States, Canada and Europe, and of course in the different regions of the Philippines. The BNP family continues to grow today through spiritual retreats and apostolic works conducted in all its chapters. MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the BNP is to make known the divine message of salvation to all people through retreat classes and apostolic work. The members of the BNP share a unified spiritual experience through the Holy Spirit’s special and unmerited grace culminating in a complete transformation of their lives—from a life of sinfulness to holiness, from doubt to certainty, from ignorance to faith, from indifference to a loving and faithful commitment to live under the grace of God. GOALS One of the goals of the Banal Na Pag-aaral is to bring the people into the fold of the church by opening their minds and hearts and making them aware of their basic Catholic duties and doctrines, and encouraging them to lead a truly Christian life thereafter. **Leader: Mrs. Salvacion (Sister Salve) Aguillon Carreon, alias Mrs. Remedios Rios Stuart** **(August 15, 1996, Sixth Revision)** Information and Explanation Of Terms In The Title: “Banal Na Pag-aaral” are Filipino words, meaning “Sacred or Holy Study.” On March 14, 1944 **Salvacion Pacradona** was born in Dagami, Leyte, Philippines. On January 16, 1965 Miss Aguillon married Mr. Delfin Pablo Carreon at St. Joseph The Worker Catholic Church, Cloverleaf, Balintawak, Quezon City, Philippines. Her name became Mrs. Salvacion Pactadona Aguillon Carreon. She had 4 children with Mr. Carreon and later separated from him, but never divorced him civilly in the United States of America. There is no civil divorce in the Philippines. In 1968 she founded the BNP in Novaliches, Quezon City, Philippines. As a sign of respect, some began to call her Sister Salve even though she was never a religious sister. Mrs. Carreon changed her name and identity by tampering with her papers and document, e.g. passport on August 20, 1984 and birth certificate on August 21, 1984, to Miss Remedios Bautista Rios in order to come to the United States. On February 4, 1985, under her new name, she married Mr. Estanislao (Nilo) Hokson Stuart at the Candlelight Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas Nevada, outside of the Catholic Church. She committed civil fraud, civil bigamy and adultery in the Catholic Church. Under her total new identity, she is now a Naturalized American Citizen. On September 16, 1993, she filed for an annulment of her marriage to Mr. Carreon at the Metropolitan Tribunal of the Archdiocese of Manila. As of February 23, 1996, her annulment was still pending. Without any annulment, through trickery she invalidly married Mr. Stuart on June 12, 1993 at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, 14085 Peyton Drive, Chino Hills, CA 91709. The couple subtly deceived Fr. Michael Maher. Her new name is Mrs. Remedies Bautista Rios Stuart. She fabricated her church documents to fit her completely new identity. The actual marriage took place at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church, 2713 South Grove Avenue, Ontario, CA 91761, because St. Paul the Apostle Church did not have a church facility yet. The invalid marriage was recorded at St Paul the Apostle Church. These great dishonesties and manipulations are with the full approval of “Mahal Na Ingkong,” a spirit and a god that she and her followers claim to possess her entirely at times. Evidently, Mrs. Carreon deceived the civil authorities of the United States of America, the Catholic Church and God. These data can be picked up at public records. **1. BNP BELIEFS AND PRACTICES:** In an Official Statement on January 10, 1990, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles said: “The BNP has sought to legitimize through deceptive relationship with local Roman Catholic parishes. New recruits are told that the BNP is a Roman Catholic organization supported by the hierarchy both in the Philippines and in the United States…In the past, priests have occasionally heard confessions and celebrated mass at Apostolic Mission Classes, believing that the retreat was a “Filipino Cursillo.” Their presence at the retreats has been singled out by BNP leaders as “proof” that the church approves of the BNP. **CATHOLIC BELIEFS AND PRACTICES:** The Archbishop of Manila, in his Official Circular Letter of October 16, 1989, calls Banal Na Pag-aaral (BNP) “under the chairmanship of Mrs. Salve Carreon… (as) not a Catholic association in good standing.” The official Statement of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles on January 10, 1990 warns the faithful: “Roman Catholics should be warned that the BNP is not a Roman Catholic organization in any sense of the word.” And on April 29, 1986 Bishop Norman Mac Farland of the Diocese of Orange declares: ”The Filipino group Banal Na Pag-aaral (BNP) is not affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church nor are its activities approved by the Church.” Remember, it is neither a Roman Catholic association nor organization, the way we accept Cursillo, Marriage Encounter, etc. It is absolutely not approved! The BNP is forbidden in the Philippines through the Bishops’ Conference, due to the leadership of the Archdiocese of Manila on October 16, 1989. Beside the Archdiocese of Manila, the following dioceses have also banned the “Banal Na Pag-aaral” (BNP): The Archdiocese of San Francisco on October 12, 1989, The Archdiocese of Los Angeles on January 10, 1990, The Diocese of San Jose on February 27, 1990, The Archdiocese of Chicago on October 17, 1991, The Diocese of Cleveland on November 2, 1992, The Diocese of San Diego on February 26, 1993, The Diocese of Brooklyn on March 2, 1993, The Diocese of San Bernardino on February 16, 1994, The Diocese of Orange on April 29, 1996, and other Diocese in the world. In general, priests and laity are forbidden to support and attend the activities of the BNP, unless they are appointed by the bishops to investigate them. Their practice of deceiving every one continually that they are approved by the Catholic leadership is most disturbing. Deception is based on lying. The teaching and practice of constant lying is from the evil spirit. **2. BNP BELIEFS AND PRACTICES:** The BNP claims that it is merely a truly obedient movement and organization within the Catholic Church. It is not a newly founded church. **CATHOLIC BELIEFS AND PRACTICES:** Mr. Estanislao Hokson Stuart, the current husband of Mrs. Carreon, claims that he is the pastor of the BNP Church in Ontario, California. In fact, on May 1, 1986, in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles at Long Beach, Mr. Stuart declares: “I am an individual over the age of majority and am Pastor of the BNP Church located at 1877 East Riverside Drive, Ontario, California 91761…and have held the position of Pastor of the BNP Church since1991 to the present.” Catholic Church Law instructs explicitly that, “No church is to be built without the express and written consent of the Diocesan Bishop.” (Canon 1215, The Code of Canon Law 1983). The BNP did not seek approval from the local bishop because the group was already banned in some dioceses of the world. It deceived the prohibition in the Diocese of San Bernardino on February 16, 1994. Ontario, California is under the jurisdiction of that same diocese. It is with the utmost probability that the suspicions of many people that the BNP church is truly a “new” Catholic Church, schismatic and heretical, maybe correct. Schism (schismatic) means rejecting and disobeying the leadership of the pope in the Church and that of the bishops and priests united with him “or of communion with the members of the church subject to him.” “Heresy (heretical) is the obstinate… denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and Catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, No. 2089) The BNP commits the sin of heresy and schism.

Context : TikTok is an extremely popular app among young people, so popular that its most avid users spend 6+hours a day and its part of their daily routine.

Go outside. Actually meet people. Form groups and do things together like every generation before you did for all of human history. Even in a small town, you can find people to hang out with who have mutual interests if you try. I'm Gen X. I was a feral kid who practically lived outside when I wasn't in school and growing up all of my connections were face to face. I cannot fathom going into a public forum and complaining about how I feel so cut off because an app was shut down. And don't hand me some sob story about how some people have this or that limitation when it comes to leaving the house. Yes , I'm certain some people are limited in their ability to leave their house, but the reality is most Tik Tok users are perfectly capable of going out and socializing. Instead, they've chosen to make apps and social media their entire interaction with the rest of humanity. That's not healthy and it never will be. I've seen about a dozen posts this morning across the different social media platforms I frequent and they're all versions of this same lament you've posted here. Talk about a tempest in a teacup. I don't use Tik Tok. I'm familiar with what it is and I've even been on it briefly, but there's nothing there that was that appealing for me, so as someone who specifically chooses to go outside and do things in person, I actually find these reactions funny. It's meant to be entertainment, not a lifestyle. A don't even get me started on how worthless the app is for getting news that isn't laden with conspiracy theories and misinformation. Anyone who gets their news solely from Tik Tok is not well informed, no matter how much they've convinced themselves they are. Please feel free to down vote this comment. I don't care. I'm one hundred percent correct here and stand by what I'm writing. Or to borrow a quote from Rick and Morty, "Your boos mean nothing to me. I've seen what you people cheer Reply > As a gen z, may I ask an honest question? (Fair warning that you might see this as a “sob story” as you said, but I’m not whining, it’s just facts. How are we supposed to go out and make friends in this world, when some of us can’t drive anywhere cuz we don’t have a car, because we can’t pay for one, because the older gens won’t give us jobs? (and yes, I went to college and hold a degree) and even if we did, where are we supposed to go to meet people? My mom is gen x, and she said people used to hang out at malls, and fast food places, etc. now, you go to those places and there aren’t many young people like there used to be. We don’t have a physical “third place”. My town doesn’t really have any clubs or community events for things I’m interested in. TikTok (and i suppose Reddit) is/was the closest we had. And most people you do see, are busy doing their own thing. So tell me, what are we to do? Go up to random people in stores/coffee shops and be like “hey, I’m John Doe, wanna be friends?” Cuz that doesn’t actually seem like the best approach. When’s the last time you went up to a stranger, talked for a while, and then kept in contact afterwards? I wish it were that easy, I long for actual face to face, and I wish at times I’d be born in your time and grew up the same way, but that’s much harder in the world we live in now. I wish no hate to you, or gen x. I only wish you’d try to understand a little. (And honestly, if you could provide me with a clear understanding of your perspective as well, I’d be glad to listen. I’m all ears for solutions, provided they’re not just hating on us for being online) Just so you know, I had friends in highschool, but we grew apart for various reasons, so I’m very capable of talking face to face. ---------------------- **Hate against Reddit and other app section, also my friends are dead** > Idk why it feels like I lost a friend almost. It pisses me off that all these people on Reddit just hate on us because we liked an app. Pretty sure everyone is addicted to something because it helps them get by day to day. I liked TikTok cuz it distracted me, I got to see cool stuff, talk to people and relate to them and help shelter animals get adopted. I guarantee you that most these people taking shit probably used the app at least a couple times and if their source of escape or favorite apps, games, tv shows etc whatever were taken away they’d feel like shit too.

Here is my way of trying to find alpha in an erratic stock market - how I'm trading the US tourism dip. **1. Canada is the US's largest source of tourism**: In 2024, 20 million Canadian tourists visited the US, spent $20.5 billion, and supported 140,000 US jobs. Canada's population is 40 million, so 50% of the entire country visited, and the US had 77 million tourists so 1 country is contributing 26% of visits. **2. Recent US policies is leading to a tourism boycott from Canadians, and the rest of the world**: Tourists are boycotting US tourism due to tariffs, annexation threats, new travel barriers, and stories of visitors being unlawfully detained with no due process (in March a Canadian citizen was denied entry due to an expired visa, while this was a worker and not a tourist, instead of being allowed to return to Canada, as is the norm, she was shackled in chains and sent to a private ICE facility for 2 weeks without being able to contact a lawyer or get a bed). **3. Analysts previously predicted policies would decrease tourism by 5%, new numbers released this week show that it's 14x higher:** For Canada alone (26% of US's entire tourism industry with 20 million visitors) - airline travel is **down** **70%**, land travel is **down** **45%**, and **85%+** of tourists survey say they cancelled their US trips. **4. Here's how I'm planning on using this information to make stock trades into specific companies both long and short:** I'm shorting airlines that have high exposure to Can-US routes (it's been reported that airlines are slashing these routes due to 0 demand, and they is no clear way they can cover this revenue gap with a lower utilized fleet). I'm shorting select hospitality chains (hotels, restaurants) with high exposure/retail foot print in US states that border Canada like Niagara Falls. The US travel association says that even just a 10% dip in tourists will lead to $2 billion in economic losses and 140,000 jobs at risk (assuming 70% decrease from air travel happens across the board, that's $14b), I expect hospitality to have lower revenues. I'm shorting all non-essential or higher price retailers with a big footprint in hostility states, all these workers being laid off by lack of tourism + the gov worker job cuts won't have as much to spend (not my specific trade, but an example would be short Target, long Dollar General). I'm long, and buying, non-American/Europe hotel chains and travel booking platforms that get most of their revenue outside the US, as I expect Canadian and international tourists to concentrate their spend to Europe/Asia/Oceania travel this summer. **Edit 5. How do the European/International figures play?** It's important to note that the Canadian tourism numbers dipped after the policies that happened in point 2. And we're seeing what those numbers are a few months later now. The US admin is rolling out these policies across the board tomorrow during "Liberation Day". The point here is that we won't see the true vector of an internal tourism boycott both in terms of magnitude and direction until the policies that were enacted on Canada are enacted globally, and consumers have time to adjust behaviour. But if the Canadian consumer is any indication, I have more conviction in my trades. **A glimpse into this being a trend is a French travel company reporting to Bloomberg their Europe to US travel bookings are down 25%.** **Edit 6. Example of the airline play** Yes I know US airlines are already down a lot. Rode that wave and exited my shorts. Now I'm shorting Air Canada and ONEX (parent company of WestJet), since they have much more exposure to US-Can routes, and are cutting routes dramatically with no increase in capacity elsewhere Also looking to short airline maitence companies, the food suppliers specific to flight food, and fuel refineries/storage those two airlines use, and retail stores with large exposure to airports that only see US/Canada travel. But going long on regional air craft hangers since their smaller fleets are used the most for US/Canada travel, while their bigger fleets will still be active for the europe/asia flight routes that havn't seen impact on demand. Would like to hear what everyone thinks about this trade play. Thanks! **Source for numbers used** * [https://theconversation.com/tourists-are-cancelling-trips-to-the-us-heres-how-this-could-affect-its-economy-252858](https://theconversation.com/tourists-are-cancelling-trips-to-the-us-heres-how-this-could-affect-its-economy-252858) * [https://www.ustravel.org/press/potential-results-decline-canadian-travel-united-states](https://www.ustravel.org/press/potential-results-decline-canadian-travel-united-states) * [https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/world/canada/air-canada-flights-seats-us.html](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/world/canada/air-canada-flights-seats-us.html) * [https://financialpost.com/news/canadian-us-shopping-trips-dwindle](https://financialpost.com/news/canadian-us-shopping-trips-dwindle) * [https://www.discovercars.com/blog/us-travel-tourism-statistics](https://www.discovercars.com/blog/us-travel-tourism-statistics) * [https://globalnews.ca/news/11080371/canadian-woman-detained-ice-example-immigration-border/](https://globalnews.ca/news/11080371/canadian-woman-detained-ice-example-immigration-border/) * [https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2028592/us-tourism-suffer-billion-drop-donald-trump](https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2028592/us-tourism-suffer-billion-drop-donald-trump) * [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-01/european-tourists-start-avoiding-the-us-as-unknown-territory](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-01/european-tourists-start-avoiding-the-us-as-unknown-territory)

The Big E 2022: How much is parking? Where can I park? On the way to The Big E parking lot, attendees will pass multiple signs offering parking outside the fair grounds. But is it worth it? Over the weekend, parking outside The Big E ranged from $15 to $20 at nearby lots. Parking at The Big E, however, only costs $10 at gate 9. But price isn’t the only factor when making a parking decision at the third largest fair in North American. Traffic can get backed up when driving into and leaving gate 9. Some of the signs outside The Big E parking lots advertise for quicker times related to coming and going. Many of them are also only a three to five minute walk to gate 9. The Big E parking is also cash only, while some of the outside parking lots take Venmo. The Big E warns there are no ATMs near the parking lot. For those getting to The Big E in other modes of transportation, prices vary. Motorcycles cost $5 to parking in gate 9 and have a specific area designated for those drivers. And Bicycles and Bird scooters can park for free at 915 Memorial Avenue, the website states.

What Is There to Do at The Big E? The Big E combines six New England state buildings, agricultural exhibits, livestock, historic Storrowton Village, Midway rides, shopping, food and live entertainment. First-time visitors should choose a few anchors instead of trying to see everything at once. Walk the Avenue of States The Avenue of States is the fair’s signature experience. Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont each have a state building with regional exhibits, food and shopping. It is the closest thing to a New England road trip where your biggest navigation problem is deciding which snack comes next. See agriculture and living history The Eastern States Exposition has agricultural education at its core. Farm-A-Rama, livestock areas and the Mallary Agricultural Complex offer a look at the people, animals and skills behind New England farming. Storrowton Village Museum & Shops adds historic buildings, demonstrations and a quieter change of pace from the Midway. Plan rides and entertainment separately The North American Midway has its own operating hours and ride payment system. The fair also presents free entertainment, The Big Parade and ticketed arena concerts. Check the official entertainment listings for the date you plan to visit; a strong itinerary follows the day’s schedule instead of fighting it. A simple first-timer itinerary Arrive with your tickets ready and orient yourself before the late-morning crowd builds. Start with agriculture or Storrowton Village. Walk the Avenue of States after its 10 a.m. opening. Choose one planned meal and leave room for one unplanned discovery. Use the afternoon for shopping, exhibits or the Midway. Finish around a parade, free stage performance or separately ticketed concert.

Archibald J. Motley Jr., The Octoroon Girl , 1925 Archibald J. Motley Jr., The Octoroon Girl, 1925 Oct 2, 2015 0:00 Archibald J. Motley Jr., The Octoroon Girl, 1925 0:00 Narrator: This young woman looks us right in the eye. This is the first clue Motley gives us about her personality. What others do you notice? Artists often use people’s hands to tell us about their mood or character—and this woman’s rest calmly in her lap, perfectly manicured, gently grasping an elegant pair of gloves. And what about the colors he’s used? Most of the painting is dark, but her collar, lips, and cheeks stand out in bold red. Everything about this woman suggests that she is confident in herself. Motley’s portraits of African Americans generally express great dignity. Motley hoped that seeing themselves portrayed in art would help black people feel proud and confident in their identities. He also wanted to help white people see the beauty and accomplishments of African Americans, hoping this might dispel negative stereotypes and racism. While this woman looks modern, the title Motley gave this painting is old-fashioned. It’s Octoroon Girl. “Octoroon” is an out-of-date term for a person who is one-eighth African American, and usually had somewhat lighter skin—nobody uses this term anymore. Motley once said that he wanted to paint every African-American skin tone there was, from dark to light—showing the beauty of all. In Archibald Motley: Jazz Age Modernist (Kids).

[ 6 ] AT&T is the world's third-largest telecommunications company by revenue, the third-largest wireless carrier in the United States behind T-Mobile and Verizon , and the nation's largest fiber internet provider . [ 7 ] On the New York Stock Exchange , AT&T trades under the ticker symbol "T", and has a market capitalization of $186.83 billion. On the Fortune 500 (2025), AT&T ranked 37th among the largest American businesses and reported revenues of $125.6 billion. AT&T has over 240 million subscribers worldwide, and its operations are split into two main segments : Communications , which offers wireless services, broadband options , and business solutions , along with Latin America , which provides wireless networking in Mexico. Even after spinning off DirecTV , AT&T still offers bundling deals with it. While AT&T traces its history to the original company founded in 1885, the modern version began on January 1, 1984, as Southwestern Bell Corporation ( SBC Communications ) after the Bell System breakup . The original AT&T was created by American Bell Telephone on March 5, 1885, as a long-distance subsidiary, and later merged with its corporate parent in 1889. Over time, AT&T developed a natural monopoly in telephony, dominating telecommunications for much of the 20th century and earning the nickname "Ma Bell". [ 8 ]
