Apologies for the noob question but I couldn't find good answers anywhere else. I'm an American getting into football (or soccer as we call it) looking for teams to support. I really like the Spanish language and Spanish culture but rooting for Real Madrid feels like it'd be pretty boring, so this team interests me. It wouldn't be a huge factor in whether I support it or not, but I'm curious if there are Spanish people outside of the capital who consider themselves supporters or if it's mostly limited to Madrid.

I'm a bisexual left-leaning cradle Catholic. Recently I've begun to feel tired of dealing with Catholicism's regressive tendencies and having to explain them away to others, so I've been feeling a pull towards the Episcopal Church. Since I'm considering jumping ship, I wanna hear the stories from the other direction. What made you decide to join the Catholic Church despite the issues it has? Did you have any horror stories in the process of conversion (like having to swear to follow all Catholic teaching without question) or was it smooth? Would you say sticking with it is a good idea?

Title. As someone living close to the coast the rising sea levels concern me greatly, and I haven't seen any posts here dedicated specifically to this topic so I made this one.
