@SkarlettFreedom @LoreKavorka1138 @pureMetatron This doesn't happen in the poem, so apparently you haven't read it either, which is hilarious. Penelope in the epic poem is generally very composed and emotionally restrained.

@LoreKavorka1138 @pureMetatron This is the most ignorant, out of touch take I've seen. You've never actually read The Odyssey, have you? If that's what you think then you're an idiot who clearly argues what happens in books they've never read.

@GreenTextRepost @shrek2fanboy The benefit of all my clothes being dark is I never separate anything. Laundry and dishes are the easiest chores. It's true though, you can do all the hard yard work in 100 degree heat and they barely count that as a chore when all they did was laundry and dishes.

@GrdDscntN2Madnz @cremieuxrecueil Those golden retriever types tend to be shallow, you can't delve into certain topics or emotions. Even being 10/10 happy doesn't mean anything without contrast, their personality loses its edge after a while. Where a normal person shows up that happy, you know it means something.

@cremieuxrecueil Chronically lab retriver level happy people can get boring to hang out with after a while in my experience as well - though not as quickly as the neurotics.

@somemothers_son @9VoltsNoChirp @HeadOfTVDept Most sea shanties evolved from Irish music and the call-and-response of African work songs as well as Carribean influence, because most of the English sailing crewman were Irish. The black/Irish musical exchange isn't as non-existent as you think.
English
@9VoltsNoChirp @HeadOfTVDept Most Irish folk music is about extramarital sex and assaulting Englishmen. I don't think they cared about the Church's opinion on the tritone (which is a myth anyway). Still this is far less stupid than believing there was some major black/Irish musical exchange. You're an idiot.

Matt Walsh is a goober with a high-school education. The idea that the Odyssey belongs to him or that he can understand it beyond “muh historical accuracy” is hilarious.

@lyrasie Normal for who? Normal for Russians is historically pretty bleak even before the USSR.

being actually interested in post-archive soviet history is so fascinating because you realise it was basically a pretty normal society, generally poorer than the west but with more social stability, etc. but you're expected to morally equate it with the Murder Empire

@SeanMcCarthyCom Also then went onto inplement some of the most retarded policies ever, like killing all the sparrows which lead to an overabundance of locusts destroying the crops and leading to the most deadly famine of all time.

@zerowontmiss Because it's a historic story and mythology. Actually the Trojan War was thought to be mythological for a long time until the 1800s when some rich guy decided he would start digging up locations to see if Troy could've been real.

how can you make a “historically accurate” version about a fucking fake story?

@Anoni3wn @pelositracker Why shouldn't they have mutual funds and etfs? The problem is insider trading, you can't insider trade with either of those.
English
@pelositracker Mutual funds and ETFs should not be fair game. Also, what’s wrong with voter ID?
English
Breaking: The House is voting today on the Stop Insider Trading Act
Here's everything in the bill:
• Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children cannot buy new individual stocks. They can keep what they already own
• Before selling any existing stock, lawmakers must file a public notice 7 to 14 days in advance
• Mutual funds, ETFs, index funds, and commodities are still fair game
• Fines for violations jump from $200 to $2,000 or 10% of the trade, whichever is greater
One catch: Republicans attached the Voter ID Act to the bill, which is why most Democrats are expected to vote against it
If it passes the House, it still needs to clear the Senate

@HistoryBoomer Does this hold for you if we diversified African mythological stories?

For right-wing loons, woke is having black people in a movie!😂
In reality, lefty woke is an unhealthy obsession with race that puts POC on a weird pedestal.
None of that lefty wokism is in this film. The #2 evil suitor is black. Odysseus's South Asian 2nd-in-command mutinies to ill effect. Non-white characters are just characters. They aren't all noble and true. And the hero is a white dude!
The woke right is just as obsessed with race as the woke left, and both are bad! People are people! In that scene, it's a bard singing a song. That he's black means nothing to the story. He's an actor playing a role!
