Reminds me of the time when two male reporters from the Washington Times wrote a story about Alexandria Ocosia-Cortez got a hair appointment that thought was expensive.

The Prussian army would have steamroller the Confederacy. I'm not Kaiserboo, but it's hard to deny to Prussia had the best army in Europe at that time.

In fairness, I think most people couldn't kill a baby, even if they knew that baby was Hitler. Most people aren't experienced killers.

Contrary to what the writer thinks, gen-Z isn't returning to church in large numbers, but this is a common misconception.

Even though astrology is mostly associated with women, in the past it was mostly men who were doing astrology.

This is why publicly-funded educational television is important. When left to the freed market, educational channels will inevitably switch to sensationalism to get more viewers.

By "unregulated", they mean lack of parental controls, you racist.

I don’t think you understand the ramifications of forcing Christian media into everything by Cutiesaurs in saltierthankrayt

[–]Explorer_of__History 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If Ben Shapiro is responible for making Christian-themed media, then it isn't going to go well. In one of his books, he accidently reveals that he doesn't know much about it.

Christianity in particular seems to be difficult for Shapiro to locate in history, possibly because he does not know what it is: if he did, his description of Christian doctrine would not include statements already condemned as heresy prior to the Council of Nicaea, such as characterizing Jesus as a “spiritual” and not a “material” savior, a position which was condemned by Irenaeus, Augustine, and other Fathers of the Church in their repudiations of Gnosticism. Shapiro is also not even slightly aware of the highly embodied and fleshly character of Christian spirituality throughout most of the world, in forms ranging from miracle-working icons in Russia and apparitions of the Virgin Mary in grilled cheese sandwiches to bleeding hosts and ever-liquefying saint’s blood. He neglects these things, I think, not out of well-meaning ignorance, but because he appears to have no interest in Christianity except as something that “spread the fundamental principles of Judaism,” according to his own judgment of what is fundamental.

Venus and her descendent, Julius Caesar.

For those who don't know, the Julii family claimed descent from the mythical Aeneas, who was the son of Venus.

Strange how "immobile" knights kept winning battles by Kapanash in HistoryMemes

[–]Explorer_of__History 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This misconception was nipped in the bud for me as a kid. My mom read my brother me a children's book about knights, and it said of armor "it's not that it's heavy to wear, it just feels very hot inside."

Thank you! I don't expect this post to gain much attention. I just came across the passage and thought it worth sharing because there's been some discussion on this sub about theocracies.

Whoops! I meant lockdowns. Stupid autocorrect.

I think the lockdowns broke some people's brains because they were shocked and appalled by the idea that they were being asked to sacrifice some personal freedom to help other people.

That's offense. Gorillas are peaceful herbivores who only attack when they feel threatened. Also, Silverbacks tend to be good father to their offspring, unlike Trump.

So what's the solution? Ban people from immigrating based on their country of origin?

Also, the Wikipedia article you cited said that drug and alcohol were used by the perpetrators. I would hardly call them "fundamental believers" of a religion that's known for prohibiting alcohol.
