@unlearn16tweet There's nothing historical about Gone with the Wind, but it would have been weird to cast blacks as the plantation owners.

FYI - there are exactly ZERO historical figures found in The Odyssey. It is a beautiful work of fiction...the archetypes and storyline should be the focus. But by means, keep whining about who is playing Helen and Achilles you pathetic, uneducated potatoes. #theodysssey

@DonnaPlageman @CoryBMorgan There are literally hundreds of examples of nations doing that. Germany did after both world wars.

@CoryBMorgan You are an imbecile if you think any Nation would enter into Treaty and cede their Lands.
English
Actually.
Every bit shaded on that map was forever ceded in the treaties.
Thanks for posting it to remind us 😀

@ARIKAHENRY Would the world have been a better place if Christianity did not have any of the impacts it had on the world? On balance, I'd say no. Without Western Civilization (that arose out of Christianity) there would have been less wealth & fewer developments in science & medicine.

Has the religion of Christianity been historically more helpful than harmful?

@RationalPanthe1 @antitheistdad If I am conscious, and I'm part of the universe, then the universe is conscious. But I wouldn't describe the universe as a "being."

@antitheistdad If you say the universe is a conscious being you are a rational pantheist.

@mysteriouskat So, you're not much of a free speech enthusiast, I guess.

@bendreyfuss It's fine to make her black. It's not canonical - she was described as "fair skinned." But casting a black woman could be edgy and artistic decision.
However, because there are racial quotas for Oscar nods, it's fair to wonder if she was cast to tick a box. 🤷♂️

There are a lot of stupid tweets like this. The fact that Pocahontas was a Native American interacting with European colonialists is central to the story. If you make her white, the story doesn’t make sense.
Helen of Troy’s race is not a central part of the story.

Imagine the outrage if a historically non-White character like Pocahontas were made White in a movie. Yet it’s considered acceptable to make all historically White characters non-White in movies. This is racism against White people.

@ohhanxiety That's not actually the way it works. Believers don't give up hope as easily. If you want to survive being stranded on a desert island, the first thing you'd want to find is faith.
And I'm an atheist.

@ThrillaRilla369 If those keys are for the lock, you'll have to take one off the ring, insert it in the key hole, and turn it. Should open just fine.

Bottled water is a scam. Tap water tastes better and people who buy it are virtue-signaling idiots.

Farmers are far more evil than people who build data centres.

@michaelmalice Nothing wrong with thought experiments. You're getting push back because you framed it as a gotcha. Made it look like a probability question so you could gloat over the people who didn't pay close enough attention to see that it was a deterministic question.

this is how einstein figured out some of his ideas
he asked himself what would happen if you turned on a flashlight while running at the speed of light
you would tell him " LOL ok einstein that's not possible"

@michaelmalice That’s the part I personally contend with. Not possible for humans to measure the exact initial conditions. Chaos theory
