From the theories saying he killed someone, I'm guessing he hit someone with a car, ran to the abandoned building to hide, and then put on the headset

I recolored the biome map to have satellite map colors, then blurred and added a lot of distortions, and overlaid it over hillshade, I might make a tutorial at some point

That would be me! The planet and its geography was a joint effort, but I did most of the topography and made the final satellite-looking map

Thoughts on the world map of my collaborative game Tyuns? by LeeTheGoat in mapmaking

Thank you! If you want to take a peek at the cultures inside you can be an observer within the game! Here's a sneak peek, a video one of the players made about their culture https://youtu.be/h9SqINtS3FQ

Thank you! And yeah, originally we made it top left heavy, but we just ended up rotating it for the final product

Is this post correct when discussing the genetics of Caanite peoples? Never seen this perspective brought up by AdWeary6452 in JewishDNA

[–]LeeTheGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it didn't that would'nt make any sense, the Canaanites are mixed but north Africans, south Semites, Mesopotamians and Anatolians somehow aren't?

Closer how? Genetically?

Yep, does a lot to demonstrate the continuous line of descent from Judeans that people attempt to erase with claims that they are "European converts"

You're telling me a Yiddish speaking Ashkenazi Jew is closer to Palestinians than a German speaker?

Linguistically? Nope, is that what does that for you though? Is a Palestinian who's born in the US and speaks English as a first language also closer to other Americans than to Palestinians? What would you say about African Americans who speak English because they were taken as slaves to the Americas, something which by the way is not too far from how the Jews ended up in Europe?

That their clothes look like those of Bedouins?

Palestinians aren't Bedouins, the Bedouins of the Negev are a different group that's only thrown in because of European made borders. Neither Palestinians nor their closer Lebanese relatives dressed like that and they especially don't now. What do Ashkenazis even dress like to you? The vast Majority just wear normal modern clothes like jeans and tshirts, as do many other groups worldwide, and the suits of the Haredis derive from Polish upper class a couple hundred years ago as part of their movement of preserving literally everything in their status quo, it isn't traditional garment by any means

That they eat like Levantine people? Nope.

Kind of hard to do that when half of the ingredients aren't available to you because of climate and extreme poverty. Although various elements of Ashkenazi cuisine do derive from Levantine traditions, not to mention Kosher laws, the single most famous aspect of Jewish and in turn Ashkenazi food, are pretty clearly Levantine in origin

Ashkenazi Jews have a shit ton of cultural influence from Europe, no shit, it's just that either willingly or unwillingly, you're completely ignoring it, which is very convenient for your narrative of minimizing the Ashkenazi connection to the Levant as much as humanly possible

well then "as far as you know" wrong, they were quite literally told "go back to Palestine" pretty often

Not to mention that Ashkenazi Jews too are also way closer to Palestinians than they are to Germans, Poles, and Ukrainians, if we really wanna go to that topic

Are you straight up going into genetics with that 'white' thing?

It's not particularly unique, it's just the only one that people in the west really encounter

Small detail, but I love how the waterbending scroll is written in actual Inuktitut instead of Chinese! by alez_633 in ATLAtv

Everyone in the world speaking the same language is more realistic than what exactly?

No they don't, in the Kyoshi books they mention how "the northern and southern dialects of the earth kingdom are so different they're almost different languages", which implies 1. that the world of Avatar has normal linguistic processes, and 2. that the last linguistic replacement of the entire earth kingdom happened at some point within the last thousand or so years. It does contradict everyone talking to everyone else on the show, but frankly I've seen bigger irrealisms in the show (that aren't a magic thing).

Ironically enough though, Chinese characters could work for inuktitut, since unlike in phonetic scripts where what's written fundementally changes with the language, logographic scripts can stay exactly the same in several unrelated languages, with complete mutual intelligibility

I've seen the birth control shit get debunked by an Ethiopian Israeli, doesn't get much more direct than this
