ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Jesus was Jewish, but Christians aren't1·5 天前You can’t use the acts as evidence for this, since they’re internally inconsistent versus the other gospels and the Pauline epistles. Current scholarship clearly puts the blame on the Romans. This is backed up by Pontius Pilate being well known for being a brutal ruler, and not one who cared much for Jewish sensibilities.

The policies are just a smokescreen. It’s always been a personality cult.
I just watched an episode of Lingthusiam about Phatic expressions yesterday- very interesting.
ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Jesus was Jewish, but Christians aren't23·6 天前This is almost certainly not true. There is no way Romance would cede such an important aspect of governance to the Jews, not to mention most scholarship having converged on the idea that Jesus was killed by the Romans for changing their sovereignty (claiming to be the King of the Jews).
ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.worldtoData is Beautiful@lemmy.world•Asia’s Heavyweights in Global MarketsEnglish1·6 天前There’s at least a few missing items here, probably because they’re conglomerates and have lots of affiliates, rather than being one company.
ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you found someone attractive, would you date them if you found out they were trans?5·7 天前Absolutely, there’s a lot more to it than just the genitals, but to be fair, everyone has a large number of differences from the mean- I’ve met bio women with very deep voices, with unflattering figures, who’ve experienced misogyny, etc.
Apart from the genitals, everything a trans person had that might differentiate them from a cis person can still be present in a cis person.
ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you found someone attractive, would you date them if you found out they were trans?4·7 天前Yes. Penis or vagina matters little to me.
ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Backing away from Russia, Trump says Ukraine should win back its land and NATO allies should shoot down incursionsEnglish50·7 天前The problem with this? He changed his mind once, he can change it again. Nobody, especially not Ukraine and other former Soviet states, should rely on Trump.
ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump tells UN in speech that it is 'not even coming close to living up' to its potentialEnglish10·7 天前Yeah, because of the veto that US, China and Russia use very liberally.
In Legends, he actually sent a valuable item to Shmi for her to buy herself her freedom, which she gave to Cliegg for him to buy her freedom from Watto.
Edit: he being Qui-Gon Edit 2: the book was Tatooine Ghost
Is it surprising though? Natural fruit doesn’t have the same shelf life as modern farmed fruit, so it’ll start fermenting in just a few days - add in alcohol having a lot of calories, and so the chimpanzees naturally won’t skip out on it either.
ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•at least no more trolley problems23·15 天前It’s long been a fan Theory that Superman can cover some form of durability to the items he handles, otherwise a lot of the larger items he handles would crumble/collapse under their own weight, or people he carries would be crushed/chopped to chunks.
How can they blackmail trans people/keep them as slaves if they have rights? That’s the true reason behind them being anti-trans
As far as I can see, there’s no report of his death, so…
If they do shit like this, how can they expect billionaires to stay in the country with their business?
This makes it monumentally challenging to sneak into their houses without their knowledge and capturing them for the guillotines… \s
ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?24·21 天前Indian and Chinese are excellent options, since they’re basically a couple dozen (minimum) cuisines in a trench coat.
ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task [edited post to change title and URL]1·27 天前Oh no, undoubtedly, you’re 100% right. I’m just pointing out there’s precedent.
There’s also a significant portion of people who are spending money on things like Labubus and other luxuries because they have no optimism for the future, and would rather just spend their money on having fun instead of saving up for retirement or a home.
