Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I read this headline and imagined him interrupting a family's vacation at a tropical resort to drone on about climate change for a bit.

He gets two weeks vacation after two months on the job?

Edit: this is a joke

It's good to be the pope.

Did you think the vacation time he accrued as cardinal should have evaporated when he got promoted?

[–] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

He got promoted you dont lose your PTO when you get promoted.

Okay I kinda get it. But also like, everyone deserves some time off work. The pope doesn't need to be on that sigma gridset.

He got the company car on day 1.

Yes, that's completely fair, that should be the case for all workers.

Imagine if he called for a strike from working for all Catholics until a global strategy on dealing with climate change with an enforcement policy is made.
