100% on the Pericope Adultury.
- It says Jesus wrote on the ground with his finger in the Second Temple... the STONE ground. John (or the author of John) would have lived and visited the area of the 2nd temple and known it was stone, but the forger who wrote the Pericope Alduterae 500 years later obviously had never been.
- It uses word choice that isn't present anywhere else in John, or the books with the same author.
- If you read the end of John 7 and skip over the to John 8:12, you notice that it flows much more sensibly instead of having some bizarre backtracking for no reason.
Once you know to look, it's an obvious forgery.
This is pretty suspect, but the Republican National Convention was this week too and it was the last trading day before the RNC.
And if you look at the RNC showing how leftist it can be, and Trump's shitty VP pick, it would have been a disaster if he hadn't just survived an assassination attempt like a boss.
They chose a black protagonist and one of the companions is a black woman? Check.
Dragon Age has always been customized characters right? The voice certainly sounds white. I assume the default option is white, and some dangerhair in marketing choose a darkie for their trailer.
Although, even if that's the case the game still looks like shit.
Joe Biden definitely took more than 10% of that for himself.
I don't think that matters or was the case. Joe's is the only reason any of these sweetheart deals existed, he could have asked for 90% and gotten it.
When you're as old as Joe and your public finances are scrutinized, there's no point to it anyways. You can't spend it. The money is going to go to your heirs, so might as well have them collect directly. The 10% was IMO just so that he'd have oversight on everything, so his family members collecting in his name have to keep him in the loop, so they can't go try and do side deals and potentially get their dumbasses caught when they get too greedy.
We already have asian DnD elves. The Gith are fucking Asian. All the old art is a hilariously stereotypical Asian caricatures, with a bit of fantasy magic thrown in.
Like all gith, githzerai were tall and emaciated-looking humanoids, but, thanks to their rigid training, had more muscular bodies.[2] They had pale yellow skin, sometimes with greenish or brownish tones. Their skulls were long and angular, with deep-set eyes, flattened noses, and long pointed ears. Typical hair colors included black, russet, and sometimes gray, which male githzerai either shaved or wore in braids. Their facial hair was also carefully groomed.
It's literally chink elves. Their race is split in half between the evil Gith that follow a dictatorship, and the Good ones that follow fantasy Confucianism. Gith have 3 racial classes which are basically kung-fu monks, kung-fu swordmasters, and old guys that meditate so much they get superpowers (enlightened, originally psionicists, but now wizards).
And even if you don't like Gith because they've been turned into a sci-fi race to hide their racial traits, there's plenty of other ones. Yuan-ti, Kenku, kitsune/shapeshifters, Spirit Folk. There's no shortage of eastern representation. Or there was, before they decided to take all the flavor out of those classes so they could pretend they're not distinctly racial too.
thousands of years beyond their mud huts
Just thousands? If we could magically isolate sub-Saharan Africa and fastforward 10,000 years, I still don't think they'd invent cellphones and airplanes. 5,000 years ago, Ancient Egypt existed right next door with all the ancient era tech, and their nearby African neighbors still didn't figure out the wheel or buildings before colonization.
Isn't Malenia easiest with a heavy build? You just go upgrade some huge weapons with double colossal and can out trade her, because she's balanced around small windows of opportunity.
You do have to dodge her sword dance, but she's a low poise and relatively low range boss, and both of those are best exploited by heavy builds. You just can't block.
"Mostly" discounts the outliers in society. Nobles had it occur to them more often per-capita, but considering nobles were outnumbered a hundred to one, I suspect that more girls were married off young among commoners.
A family has a tough time feeding the kids one winter, and there's a decent enough 20-something bachelor nearby who can take care of her, and the daughter gets married at 14 instead of 18.
The hollywood part is that the women were abused prisoners instead of happily riding his dick. IRL they'd be lording it all over anyone else that they're so pretty they get to live as royalty with the most powerful man around.
Disagree. They won't ban non-self driving cars because they won't need to. Owning your own car will become a luxury item.
AI fleet vehicles will become cheap. People in cities only need a car for <1hr a week, while those in the suburbs maybe <1hr a day, and that time can be shared with carpooling. Cars cost a lot if you count buying, maintenance, fuel, and storage. Using an AI car for the same amount will probably cost 1/10th that since they can be shared by 10-100x as many people. Well, probably 1/2 that much, and the rest goes as profit to the AI car service. AI cars don't need to park, so I think cities will generally push it silently with removal of parking, instead of loudly with fees to drive.
Being driven by AI is better than driving yourself, and most people don't want to worry about parking or maintenance. In general, you'll get a better experience for cheaper, especially as car prices keep going up until they're unaffordable for most people. In 50 years most places including suburbs will primarily be served by fleets of AI cars and only the rich or incredibly rural will own (and the price will start to make it harder to live rural). That's what our owners want anyways, so there's no need to force anything.
Uh, what? I don't want to be the person that squawks about a source, but that sounds really far out there.
Hearing about them eating dogs (and they have a lot of dogs) would be just as crazy to me if Italy were eating dogs. Maybe it was a PSA for the native tribes that still live there or something?
It's not getting better with Milei; things are still getting worse. But the rate of things getting worse has been slowing, so that's better than nothing. Maybe it'll work out in the end, but it hasn't turned things around yet.
There's no chaos in Argentina or soup kitchens as far as I can tell. Just business shutting down and people having to make do with less and less (relatively) each month, but apparently that's been the case for a while.
40k player here. No GW didn't do this to align with Amazon. They aren't competent enough to do that. They can barely keep lore and rules straight between codexes that come out weeks from each other, so they have no hope of aligning with an entirely different company,
You should always have a choice of incandescent. If they really want to influence people that see $0.25 incandescent vs $5 led initial price put a refundable deposit on the incandescent so when it burns out you get that money back.
Fuck that. The government shouldn't be influencing shit. If the product is better for people's needs, it'll win out.
People should be free to do what they want with the energy they buy.
The government can be sued if you're 0.0000001% more likely to die in a heatwave because the weather changed due to china and india fucking up the environment.
The government can't be sued if you're suffering 10x more crime and rape and murder because they directly imported 3rd world pieces of shit to your town.
Ok clown world.
Shadowbanning should be a crime. But I don't know if shadowbanning is necessarily happening here.
It seems likely that this would catch a shit ton of dislikes and reports from Mr Beast fans, and generally if something is getting a ton of dislikes relative to views, it should be be hidden because people dislike it.
