@OgdenSplendid @NolanAnalyst @Glinner Most people who survived the first five years of life would probably live into their 50s or 60s. Infant mortality was what dragged the average down.

@NolanAnalyst @Glinner Pretending to be young as well now. Most people were dead by 39 in them days.

@ikarosmyth @LAbutyeah @NolanAnalyst Considering the gods in "Gods of Egypt" were all played by white folks, it balances out.

@LAbutyeah @NolanAnalyst Achilles plays a minor role in the Odyssey. The problem is Helen and Athena as blacks.

@UnsolicitedHQ @HumansForTheWin For sure. Whether you and I agree on politics or not, we at least have the common decency to not slodge insults at each other over it.
English

@AzureInkScribe @HumansForTheWin Lol. Understood. I try to give ppl a chance, but if they start off rude it generally doesnt improve over time.
English

@Mac_Paul0 @Math_files Nope. That's if it multiplies by 1.5. Multiplying by 0.5 is the same as dividing by 2.
English

@AzureInkScribe @Math_files D'oh! 1.50 on day 2. 2.25 on day 3. All the way to $191,751.06 on day 30.

@UnsolicitedHQ @HumansForTheWin I blocked him after that. Tired of being called names just for having an opinion. I get enough of that at work.
English

@AzureInkScribe @HumansForTheWin Lol. All I see are your replies because ethat guy is insufferable. So its funny seeing a single sided argument. I can only imagine what hes saying 😀
English

@HumansForTheWin @UnsolicitedHQ Every war the US has got into in the last thirty years has been basically about oil.
English

@AzureInkScribe @UnsolicitedHQ Blah blah zero wars are because of that. Grow up.

@Eta_Miraklo @NoLongerTheFuzz @daveatherton @TheGreenParty So does that mean Ireland is a Muslim nation? Or that "Jerusalem" stating "England's green and pleasant land" makes it an Islamic song? Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

This is Mohammad Baghdadi "Baggy" Khan reporting to duty as a newly elected Councillor in the Halliwell ward, Bolton. He looks composed in his Lamborghini Huracán Spyder, worth £100,000-£200,000, it does 19-23 mpg.
He is a member of @TheGreenParty.

@NoLongerTheFuzz @daveatherton @TheGreenParty Soon their green flag will have the white crescent moon and a single white star emblazoned on it. Wonder whose flag that is??

@ferguson_d21602 @Fx1Jonny @TheLionofEuropa @daveatherton @TheGreenParty The Roman Empire no longer exists, so any discussion of them in relation to modern politics is irrelevant.
English

@Fx1Jonny @TheLionofEuropa @daveatherton @TheGreenParty what about the Romans? or did your history teacher not tell you about them?
English

@SanguineAgnosti @coffeelance @billiceberg @kane Also scientific research. AI is helping scientists do research in areas as diverse as virology and astrophysics.

We used to build the future without input from people who don't understand how anything they use in their daily life even works.

Nobody in America voted for data centers. Nobody in America voted for AI. Nobody in America voted for surveillance capitalism. The entire fabric of our society is being changed without the will of the people. Without a vote.

@FawaZAbdul45363 @NeoconMemer Neither. Any god would look at humans and think, "I should send another asteroid".
English

@StevenRWilson72 @grok @lporiginalg @mrwtffacts You're not getting my point. The term 'barbarian' literally applied to any culture that did not speak Greek, and later on Latin. Therefore we are all barbarians. Except the Greeks.
English

No one speaks Latin and the Ancient Egyptians ran a continuous civilization far longer than Greeks did and build dramatically more impressive monuments—it is not even close
China build the wall, also far more impressive than anything built by Greeks
Roman Empire was indeed impressive but not necessarily the most impressive Empire
America has done way more impressive things than Rome or Greeks combined

In 1995, 15-year-old Nicole van den Hurk was raped & murdered on her way to school in the Netherlands.
The case went cold for 16 years.
Then, suddenly, her stepbrother Andy confessed on Facebook: “I killed my little sister”
Police arrested him… but all was not as it seemed. It was, in fact, a deliberate false confession.
Andy’s plan? Force them to exhume Nicole’s body for modern DNA testing.
The insane gamble worked.
In 2014, the real killer, a man with prior rape convictions, was caught & sentenced to 12 years.

@Math_files What was the original name in English language for a thousand million, while billion still meant a million million?
English

If you start counting from 1 and say one number every second, it would take you about 30 years to reach 1 billion (1,000,000,000).
Long ago, the word billion meant a million million (that is, 1,000,000,000,000 or 12 zeros). This was the meaning used in countries like England and Germany.
The word comes from “bi”, meaning two, because it was thought of as two “millions” written together:
1,000,000
1,000,000
making 1,000,000,000,000 (12 zeros).
Later, Americans started using the word billion for a smaller number: 1,000,000,000 (9 zeros).
Today, this 9-zero meaning is used almost everywhere in the world, especially in science and mathematics.
The word billion itself is not very old. It became common only after the 1500s, and one early American use was recorded in 1729.

@HumansForTheWin @UnsolicitedHQ I'm not "anti-war virtue signalling". I'm simply saying that moving to a post-scarcity society will solve some of the problems that lead to large-scale conflicts.
English

@AzureInkScribe @UnsolicitedHQ Just sick of the anti-war virtue signaling drivel.
English

@StevenRWilson72 @grok @lporiginalg @mrwtffacts The US doesn't speak Latin or Greek. Therefore it is literally a barbarian culture.
English

@AzureInkScribe @grok @lporiginalg @mrwtffacts The US is the greatest civilization ever conceived of since the dawn of agriculture and nothing else is close
English

@HumansForTheWin @UnsolicitedHQ Why are you so rude? I did nothing to you. And I'm not a 'leftist'. Conventional politics is all nonsense.
English

@AzureInkScribe @UnsolicitedHQ So you swung by to solve nothing. Leftists are depraved virtue signaling brats.
Why is China about to take Taiwan? Why is Russia in Ukraine? Why does Iran fun Hezbollah? They need food?
Grow up. Or don’t worry about the world.

@GBNT1952 @TheDrinkwine Tell that to the Brits after thirty years of Irish terrorism.
English

@TheDrinkwine Almost all terrorists are followers of Islam. You don’t see the problem here?
English

If this would have happened to Americans in America, the culprit nation’s entire existence would have been wiped from this earth…
The evil that unfolded that day against innocents is incomprehensible to most.
Islam is the real enemy.
