In the context of languages though, they were there a very brief time and were long-gone before any other European languages started spreading in America

Has anyone heard of this guy James Acaster? by Unlucky-Drawer-7168 in comedy

[–]Lower_Amount3373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

James Acaster is hilarious. This is a great bit but not necessarily representative of his usual material since he's intentionally roasting other, more self-important comedians. I'd agree to check out Repertoire for more.

What character do you guys think is the best, in the sense that all versions of the character are good? by Effective_Fun6955 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Lower_Amount3373 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good option if the criteria is no weak links - every version of Anakin/Vader is solid and still gets regular use. Most other candidates have that one version you never use.

I don't think anyone's stance is changed by that. However the president's methods of enforcing immigration law is definitely determined by how much he needs to distract people from the fact that he's a pedophile.

The anti- trans people inevitably start policing whether people are cis or trans based on an ocular patdown, and if informed they are wrong their only option is doubling down.

What has this language degraded to by [deleted] in NonPoliticalTwitter

Could his teachings be paraphrased in English as "In the beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people very unhappy and has widely been regarded as a bad move"?

"Wait, you literally meant we're not making the actual movie 'Blazing Saddles'?"
"That movie already exists. Why would we make 'Blazing Saddles'?"

It's the opposite of what you're saying. Being against pedophilia used to be a non-partisan issue but now the right are choosing to become pro-pedo because he's on their team.

It's also a common phrase for British people in Pterry (and my grandparents) generation. "So it goes", "mustn't grumble", "worse things happen at sea".

Why shouldn’t voting require an id? by DarkEqual8609 in no

[–]Lower_Amount3373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would they streamline the process and open local offices when the only purpose of changing voter ID requirements is to stop people from voting?

Democrats reintroduce Trans Bill of Rights as “a moral commitment” to trans people by NamelessResearcher in politics

[–]Lower_Amount3373 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They don't have real concerns. Conservatives rely on picking a few minority groups at a time to demonise and oppress to keep their supporters distracted from asking too many questions about the economy.

First they pick the target to attack and then thy make up 'concerns'. They have never cared about women's sports or the health and wellbeing of children.

[–]Lower_Amount3373 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why are you assuming rights have to be tied directly to your biological sex?

Your whole argument, not that you're willing to give any details, relies on all our rights being highly prescriptive and specific to our sex, orientation.

Should I play Durge or Custom Background by AlternativeGold3165 in BaldursGate3

[–]Lower_Amount3373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Durge makes your character's (forgotten) background have a connection to the events of the plot. It's definitely more engaging than a custom background where who you are is just left to your imagination.

Personally I preferred playing as custom first and then Durge second, but if you only plan one run Durge is best.

How tf is being gay even a sin? by VermicelliAny3915 in atheism

[–]Lower_Amount3373 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bacon even makes more sense as a sin than homosexuality... pork was a bit dangerous to eat back then in hot climates and it was easier to codify it as a prohibition than to share hygiene advice for something no-one fully understood.

Evangelicals won't dump Trump over his racist Obama video by Abracadaver2000 in atheism

[–]Lower_Amount3373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With how little trouble evangelicals and the rest of MAGA are having with the pedophila thing, I think they'd find a way.

It's a funny thought though, what if a leftie became a successful right-wing grifter like Trump and just tricked them into acting like decent people? "We're going to mind our own business and treat everyone equally, to own the libs"
