Rings are typically found on fingers, which get washed when hands get washed.

You’ll understand when you’re older.

I mean, kinda? They’re also heavily descended from 7th Century AD Arabic conquerors, but yes, many other natives may have adopted Arabic culture, language and religion at that time.

But Jewish culture is also derived from the Canaanite culture, with arguably more overlap. Jewish culture in the region can be traced back to at least the 9th Century BC, with the literal Kingdom of Israel. So the argument of “Well who was there first?” does not necessarily favor the Palestinians over the Israelis.

This has always been happening though. It’s not like the Ottomans took over the region peacefully. It’s been conquered and re-conquered by Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans…

That’s been happening for the last 5,000 years in that region though, since the Canaanites.

It’s not like the Palestinians were the first there.

I mean, they have electricity.

Amish aren’t anti-technology across the board. They pick and choose, trying to prohibit what they feel weakens the community.

It’s common for Amish to operate phones or computers for their businesses, they’re just not allowed at home.

I feel like there could be a few rational explanations to that, but I want someone smarter than me to tell me what exactly they could be…

I didn’t get married until the fourth person I ever said “I love you” to, the fifth or sixth I ever dated. You just keep going until you have grown and learned enough and you find someone you’re compatible enough with.

Maybe it’ll be number three, but it’s also totally fine if it isn’t. Setting the expectation though is kind of setting yourself up for failure. When you simply want whoever is your third love to work out, you may compromise your values simply to fulfill the goal of finding someone, not the right one.

Since when is it liberal to be opposed to Russia? It’s been a conservative Western policy since the Cold War.

You said “directly responsible,” which means all or most of the blame in a given situation. No one uses American English to claim something is directly responsible but not also majority responsible.

Also, I never even actually said that you claimed the US was solely responsible. I just said Russia was solely responsible, because they chose to invade. If you’re conceding you meant the US is solely responsible though and are walking back that inane argument, understood, but maybe just stop licking Putin’s boot and go read a history book for fucks sake.

Yeah I wonder why, maybe it’s because they are directly responsible for the current war.

Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia is responsible for the current war. Stop drinking the commie kool-aid.

You can whine about NATO and geopolitics all you want, at the end of the day Russia could simply have chosen not to invade Ukraine and NATO would not be dumping the entire alliance’s 40 year stockpile into the conflict.

Why do you guys keep talking about Minke whales?

Read the fucking article. They’re hunting fin whales, which are considered Vulnerable.

Which would be great if they were hunting Minke whales, but they’re hunting fin whales, which are endangered.

Whales have been used for a number of resources in the past.

Oil from blubber was a big one, and used in everything from lamps to soap.

Ambergris was a perfume base.

Spermaceti, the substance in the head of sperm whales, was used for candles and also lamps, as it was a higher quality.

Uh, huh. So 2009…?

Any reason beyond he was a billionaire and you’re apparently Very Smart?

Lol. This was Season 1, Episode 4.

The problems with their shitty-ass script certainly weren’t budgetary.

It’s a risky idea but it’s a common formula to help ground a sci-fi series.

1. Name a relevant historical figure fans should know.
2. Name a relevant living figure fans may know.
3. Name a relevant fictional figure fans should know.

That’s pretty revisionist. He’s an asshat now but wasn’t always seen that way.

In 2017, Musk was still pretty popular with liberals. He advocated for a carbon taxes, a universal basic income, and AI regulation. Tesla was still leading the game in EV production. SpaceX was re-supplying the ISS and set to free the US from Soyuz. He supported Hillary in 2016 and quit Trump’s advisory council because he withdrew from the Paris Climate Accords.

It was only around and after COVID he took a hard turn and became particularly unpopular with the left. When this episode came out it made sense, and also fit well with Star Trek’s typical formula of “past historical figure, current notable figure, future fictional figure.”

Some might think so.

I remember a guy on reddit a few years ago arguing vehemently that their hand was better than an actual living woman’s vagina, to say nothing of a Fleshlight.

The denial was strong in that individual’s case, but if enough incels are already in that deep it’s probably gonna be enough for many of them.

Facebook tried with Threads but overcoming ecosystem inertia is hard.

And as if they didn’t already subpoena that information before actually filing charges either. They were already investigating for months before Musk bought Twitter.

This is one of the dumber conspiracy theories I think I’ve ever seen. Why are we attributing some clever political maneuver to Musk when it’s clear he just made an unprecedentedly stupid business decision?

Honestly it doesn’t feel too far to me, and I generally detest doxxing as a tactic.

We trust and depend on journalists to expose and spread the truth and tell the stories people should see, but it’s never supposed to be at the expense or exploitation of vulnerable people. It’s one thing to expose the personal details of say, a hypocritical politician, but putting an individual’s life at risk just to spice up a story seems to violate most journalistic ethics I’m familiar with.
