@TransAndMerican Jesus was a Galilean Jew, who are most closely related in the modern day to the Samaritan people. If you ever see a Samaritan guy with a beard, it looks eerily close to historical depictions of Jesus.

He wasn't anglo but he wasn't arab either

@Michaeldudufudu Unironically what do you think is the right move for gays and transgenders?, I hate the sexual revolution cancer jammed into their movement but at its core both seem to be actual congenital conditions. (Both gays and trans can be identified by physical traits pre anything)

You chuds will never understand

@twinkdefcon Anarchism is unfortunately a completely moronic ideology down to the subatomic level. At least marxists actually have semi-functional states that they can point to.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single case of this happening but I’ve seen plenty of cases of anarchists eventually becoming some kind of Marxist and/or social democrats. Anarchism is the cradle of left-wing ideology, but you eventually have to leave the cradle

@evilgeckowo Say what you will about the prequels but they undeniably have the “Star Wars vibe” that I haven’t felt with most of the sequel media. Might just be the nostalgia copium talking.

call me a slop enjoyer all you want but I just watched these for the first time recently and had a blast the entire way through

@fuller_ell56933 @FCookies20 I perfectly understand the present in the context of history, which is why I have a holistic view of history rather than a third worldist one in which everything Western has "original sin". If Westerners are disparaged for their failures then that needs to be applied evenly.

@ToastedCheese18 @FCookies20 classic example of not understanding that the present is a product of the context of history. we don’t live in a vacuum. regardless of your idealistic hopes for how the world should be, it has been sadistic for centuries. we need to approach the present with that in mind.

OK this is amazing - decolonizong sexual anatomy starting with nomenclature is huge!

@sackof_wetmice @FCookies20 If the reason for the name change is that we don't want to name body parts after people, then that is valid, but to do it purely to "decolonize" as the two posts imply and purge the achievements of people solely for their race and sex than that is morally wrong.

@ToastedCheese18 @FCookies20 I think naming human body parts after a specific person (white man or not) is strange

@ScotForUnity The relationship between England Scotland and whales the past 3 centuries has been partners in crime. The acts of Union turned Edinburgh from a rainy badkwater to the rainy center of the scientific world. The UK nations to have a much larger influence now then they would alone.

The sad thing is...I'll be playing Holdfast tonight where the overwhelming majority of Americans and Europeans still think the Scots are the "hard nut" redcoat spearhead of the UK...I still hold up the rep ofc. But if they could see our Indy ghouls. Jeezo!

@ozgurtok2 @HellenicEchoes Moron Turks like you repeat this hilariously evil genocide rhetoric and it gains your country almost nothing and will only end up justifying reprisals from your neighbors who pretty much all hate you and have historic claims to lands you occupy. Turks should make peace for once.

@HellenicEchoes 1071: You lost Anatolia. 1453: You lost İstanbul. 1922: You learned how to swim

Got bored of dealing with those barbarians since 1071

@makeawayreal @Tunnelsnakefool Obsidian wrote all this to happen without any player intervention which is how all pretty much all RPGs work, east coast BOS would’ve all died in the capital wasteland if it wasn’t for the PC fixing all the problems. The show pretends the player never existed.

@Tunnelsnakefool Ur all just mad that obsidian wrote all this would happen but kept it quiet (except for ulysses) and now ur all coming face to face with what you didnt want to believe the entire time. What was the strip without ncr? Freeside is still popping atleast. Grow up.

@comtagain unbelievable gem

@Hezbolsonaro Bro thinks the term second son comes from asoiaf

Soy right

@Sincerely_farah @laurel_prolife @HomerPavlos The only reason they were allowed to live is because Islamic rulers could make more money charging Jizya instead of just killing them.

@laurel_prolife @HomerPavlos How did jewish and christian community in mena survived 1400 years? explain 🦦

When I read that Islam is the religion of peace, I can't help but think of all the achievements of the Muslims just a few centuries back. I have another history lesson for you. During the Ottoman period, Muslims enjoyed performing all kinds of mutilations. Ears, noses, lips, tongues, breasts, and genitals were primarily cut off. Not just those, though. Let's recall here the newly-revealed Saint Raphael of Mytilene, who was hanged from a tree and had his lower jaw cut off, while the twelve-year-old martyr Irene was roasted in a barrel on the Tuesday of Easter in the year 1463, ten years after the fall of Constantinople. In many cases, the severed body parts "adorned" the warrior collection of the janissary. The pashas gave bakshish (tips) to every "brave" Muslim warrior according to how many ears of "infidel" Christians he brought back. He himself confirmed his bravery and "manliness" among his peers by having a komboloi (worry beads) made from the nipples of breasts he had cut off from women. The bravest man was the one with the longest komboloi after a massacre and looting. Blinding with various sharp objects was also common. This was particularly frequent during periods of massacres and atrocities. Many unfortunate Christians remained blind for the rest of their lives because they had the misfortune of a horde of janissaries passing through their land. The Egyptians under Ibrahim Pasha were especially notorious for this crime. Many times Christian captives were placed in front of cannons that were fired, turning them into human shreds of flesh. In other cases, they were tied to galleys that sailed in opposite directions and were torn apart. Dismemberment of victims also occurred with horses. Indeed, a religion of peace.

@AnbarBaddie Sumerian larp but it has the gate of innana which is in Babylon. True Sumerian Uruk-Cels would never.

a day in my life as a sumerian catgirl

@TheNextJebBush @TheBlackHorse65 The purpose isn’t to get around US subs, it’s to get around the warm water ports issue and let oil get transported even when everything’s frozen over.

This is such a good idea.

@EnricoBrugno @ProudBavaria My UK playthrough I literally just snipe AI navies and troll them into abandoning sieges so I can go back into making the London hypermarket

@ProudBavaria I just wish the 100 year war would actually take the ai somewhere close to 100 years to solve and not see France win in 25 years. I think that would balance France quite a bit.

Curious why France feels so crazy powerful in EU5? Part of it is that the country is big and its vassals are overly loyal, paying a lot of money The other part? The Western Schism! While it is active, the tithe is split between the Pope and France. That's a lotta money!

@johnrbv8 @danielluo_pi CA is registered 45% dem, 25% rep

@danielluo_pi i dont get it either. republicans are allowed to have power in a state they are outnumbered in 10 to 1 in because they live in the desert where nobody else is. put all those red counties together and you have like 5 people.

why are there still 4 republican districts

@Aryx3D Is there a STL of this somewhere?

one day I will get good at modelling ground vehicles today is evidently not that day RKL-100 light tank. 24-tonne 100mm-armed light tank with a 3-man crew and oscillating turret. all 30 rounds are isolated from the crew in the turret bustle. Additionally equipped with an APS.

@Dawncloud20 @LookAtMyMeat1 Their entire ideology is to build a communal society where resources are shared and people help each other, The whole point of their faction is to promote an ideology designed to prevent another apocalypse. They are the exact opposite of goofy mad max.

@ToastedCheese18 @LookAtMyMeat1 Yes they are, and what's your point? They're a neutral faction who don't care much at all about borders or power. They're not comparable to the aforementioned two factions I named.

I think conflicting ideologies shaped around trying to prevent humanity from destroying itself again is WAY more interesting than "wacky Mad Max" that Bethesda keeps trying to push

@Dawncloud20 @LookAtMyMeat1 Literally the followers of the apocalypse are a main faction in the first game

@LookAtMyMeat1 Fallout has always been that way ever since Interplay still held the Fallout title.. what're you talking about? Also, the only ideologies you really described here are the BoS and the Master's Army.
