You got boost power!

I can’t belive I lost to this scuuuuummm!!!

Now it’s Ryne time!

The dimensions…! The… Colleseum!

Welcome back! (bop bo bop bop bop bop bo bop)

World of Warcraft ruined Warcraft.

Capitalism ruins franchises.

English is a first language in more countries than Mandarin is, though.

Do wish Yanks would recognise the world as bigger than themselves, the PRC and the USA are shockingly similar.

There are phrases using Trinitarian words, but the doctrine was not established until later, which is why so many early Christians didn’t believe it and it was the Church’s first major schism.

I’ll take your word on Joseph and legal lineage passing through dead first husbands.

And thank you for the correction on birth place, I’ve poked about and it seems quite clear.

I hope and biblical scholarship continues and we get more accurate translated off of ever older texts I, and everyone else, can keep up with where scholarship is at.

Edit: this original part is all about Trinitarianism:

Hmm, I was sure they were not.

Could I hassle you for passage numbers (and language and edition) to educate myself on the matter?

Edit p2.: Matthew and Luke disagree on things like Joseph’s family and whether Jesus was born in or on the way to Bethlehem. As just two of the many discrepancies between the 4 Evangelist gospels.

Isn’t the fact that those accounts disagree with each other, and are in fact sometimes contradictory (and that important stuff such as trinity, holy ghost, all came much later) cause to suspect that a lot of core modern Christian tenets are not based in historical truth?

Certainly there was a historical Jesus who did some stuff and inspired a religion. That much I think is indisputable.

“X, Y, Z, now I know my alphabet so I can keep it in my clever head”

… How would you pronounce it?

But there’s about enough housing for everyone too… Just that it’s of houses are sitting empty across Europe, North America, and China.

And lots of the food wasted in those places (minus China) is imported from places with less food security, such as Brazil, India, and Morocco.
So it’s almost like the energy use and infrastructure is already part of the problem and solving it would take less.

My point is that Malthusian was never correct, and the problems are ones of distribution. Not number of humans. (And Malthusian worries tend towards genocide naturally, that they’ve been shown consistently to be wrong should make them doubly suspect.)

It’s been much the same for every big technology that’s come along.

TV, radio, electricity, boats, all led to people using the technology of the age to interpret the world.

It’s not though, seeing that a very large proportion of the world’s population get by, and that about 1/3rd of all food produced for human consumption is wasted each year. (Checked the UN source it’s 19% of food that makes it to people, and 13% of food pre-end point in the supply chain).

And this is without starting to consider the energy inefficiency of feeding livestock to feed to humans.

Also an awful lot of the world gets by with much less than US or much of Western Europe does. There’s a long way between our surplus of food and food insecurity.

Love this game archeology stuff.

It was an interesting read and should remind us how quickly things can be lost without proper archival systems.

Plus, the day to day and normal is often forgotten or overlooked by history as us fish never write about normal water and currents.

Does the entry into NATO not drastically change things, especiay in case of a large war as neutrality will be much harder to maintain?

May I ask where it is you live?

Do you think this info graphic is more or less worrying if it is numbers of living beings rather than biomass?

Who said 16?

Who said the licensing requirements would be the same?

All the best to you and your imagination. (Though Walt Disney is very much not anti-gun or war.)

everyone: talking about restricting access to guns
you: make comparisons to cars
I: point out cars are restricted use
you: “great logic homie”

I didn’t realise anyone could legally use a car without training and license.

A gun does considerably more damage more easily than simply being strong.

You don’t even need to get close. You don’t even need to keep meaning to hurt or kill, a single moment’s pull of the trigger can do it.

I agree with your view for how they’re seen in universe, but “anti-hero” is a Doylian status rather than Watsonian.

Holden follows heroic, regarded as heroic by our 21st century Anglo-European society morality. Alex, while the heart of the gang is more of an anti-hero due to his commitment phobia and run of failed relationships.

They’re all (except Amos (except he kinda is in his own way)) admirable characters, and worthy of emulation.

Clarissa, like Fred Johnson, and to a lesser extent Avasarala (although more so in the books) started off in antagonist roles, and thus tend to be more anti-hero /accepting of less moral choices because of that. Good arcs and development with all of them. But Johnson is more supporting cast, so doesn’t quite get to anti-hero for me on that count, but made difficult choices to make up for past crimes.
