Honestly from the limited knowledge I have, Mongolians seemed to be the one of the chillest of invaders. They gave you a clear choice, let us rule you or die. And once they ruled you they allowed many freedoms that crusaders and colonizers didn’t. Their tactics were brutal and I think that’s why people see them as so evil.

The meme format doesn’t really work, but the joke they’re trying to make is that even though they did all these terrible things, it was never because of religion. In fact, they just didn’t give a fuck in what you believed in. Genghis even allowed religious figures to be exempt from taxation.

Suicide comes in many different flavors. The most common in my limited experience is desperation. If you are so utterly desperate for literally anyone to listen to you, I don’t see how it would hurt. Especially since there’s such a positive stigma surrounding the hotline. I personally know a couple of people that the hotline helped.

Because the show writers are the same that wrote the game, last of us has a very strong advantage. They can’t deviate from the plot and key elements because they are too invested in it. But they can change what they feel like is weaker, or wouldn’t work as well in a show format. And its really noticable if you played both the game and the show. They’ve discussed how they already planned it to be a two season series, but they also mentioned if they have enough inspiration and they can figure out a way to make a third season that stays within the spirit of the story line, and they honestly enjoy it then they will.

With the first season being as good as it was, I have complete and utter faith in them.

My ex and I exclusively used first names. That or “dummy”.

I like meat, and if it’s not for morality then what other reason is there?

I was on Lexapro and I have ADHD as well. All it did for me was made me tired for the first week. And then nothing.

I see the disconnect. Most people would use the physics definition of sound, you’re using the physiologic definition. So yes you’re right, however no you’re wrong.

“Next” refers to the occurrence that follows the current. “This” means the occurrence that is present. I’m regards to days, it usually follows a week to week basis, Monday through Saturday.

If its Friday and I say “this Saturday” it’s referring to the Saturday in the current week. Tomorrow. “Next Saturday” would be 8 days later.

Sound isn’t dependent on whether someone hears it, but instead IF someone could hear it. IF a person was around, you would hear it. A sound wave doesn’t come into being just because you happened to be around. It’ll exist regardless if you are capable of hearing it or not.

Thats a bit of a glass heart take. I, personally, don’t think animals should suffer before they’re slaughtered. They should live happy lives up until then. But we’re predators just like any other carnivore.

The only difference is that we have stronger emotions and the ability to consider the consequences of our actions as well as empathy for other beings.

But if you like meat, you’re not being a baby. If anything it’s the opposite. You care less about the animals than the meat it comes from. And I don’t think that’s wrong. That’s just evolution.

We’re such strong predators, that the majority of humans will never even kill their prey. We cage animals and slaughter them to feed our masses. And as long as we do that ethically (which we’re not. I’ll admit that), I don’t think it’s a bad thing, it’s nature.

You wouldn’t deny a lion it’s prey, so why berate fellow humans for the same thing? Instead the focus should be on ethical and sustainable ranching and farming.

I really don’t like that level of responsibility. Probably just put the country under anarchic rule, and head back home.

Discworld work make an incredible series of movies. I think D&D Honor Amongst Theives proves that modern comedy fantasies can work great in a movie format.

My other choice would be House of the Scorpion.

Personally I feel like it happens less often. The Catholic Church really have a reputation. I’ve only ever heard ‘altar boy’ to mean a young boy who’s being groomed and taken advantage of. I have no fucking clue what an altar boy really is.

Whoever it definitely still happens with protestants. Usually with youth pastors (surprise, surprise).

This is essentially the point I was trying to make across, but worded better.

People may think he’s crazy, but part of psychedelics is hypersensitivity. I doubt he could actually see in the dark and smell landmines, but his brain probably recognized very small details and fabricated hallucinations based on what little he did pick up on.

If you don’t use YouTube, you’re also screwing over the content creators you enjoy. You can cause harm to a company in many ways. Stop using a site prevents them from making money off of you. Preventing them from actively making money off of you while you’re still using the site actively takes money away from them. It is double sided sword because you’re also not actively supporting that content creator. However, if they don’t have another platform to post on, you can instead buy merch, donate, or simply help the algorithm boost their content by watching their content.

I don’t disagree with you. YouTube should no longer be a viable business. Something else should step in and rival them. But since that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, I’ll be happy running adblocks, and letting them not recoup their server and operation costs from me.

Just from what I found, swamps are wetlands with woody vegetation being what DOMINATLY inhibits it. So if it’s mixed, find out what there is more of. If it’s 50/50, I guess the universe collapses.

And a wetland with a neutral ph is just called a neutral wetland.

This is the craziest rhetoric I’ve ever heard. People love hearing interests from a fanatics perspective. If you have an almost unhealthy interest in something, test the waters. See how much the recipient is interested in hearing you talk about this, and if they are, go all out. I’ve learned so many interesting and niche things I never would have by engaging with people with hyper fixated interests.
