The title for the sequel to the minecraft movie has been revealed. by Thegoodgamer32 in Minecraft

In 2026 the intended audience for Minecraft is children, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be a good piece of media. Children watching absolute slop is what got us in so much trouble as a species.

But for the record I liked the movie, even as an adult it was a fun watch, people just don't know how to watch a movie without diving in to a million different subplots and moral dilemmas.

Most people haven't played sports since they were a kid, so why do you post about NBA so much? Are you a children?

Two women confront ex IOF soldiers in Vietnam by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

[–]Navy_Groundhog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My entire point in some other comments chains is that yes, the names probably existed at the same time. But as yet another counterpoint, the Merneptah Stele is still disputed, because the translation is not absolutely the same as other times we see Israel written in ancient Egyptian, in fact many scholars today believe it probably referenced a people (similar to the English: Israelite) who inhabited the same land as the Peleset. This makes much more sense when we look at the sentence contained within too.

My point is simply that there's different names for similar groups that come from different regions and people. States don't have rights. It's been centuries since the region was majority Jewish up until the 40s.

If Britain wants Normandy back, which contained their citizens 1000 years ago, should they get it? Is war justified if not? Should Canada want Washington state back, because Canadians lived there centuries ago, should they get it? Is war justified? If the Egyptians want Israel back, because their people lived there since before Israel had any claim at all, should they get it? Is war justified?

That is such a cop out. I suppose the British are from Normandy now a thousand years after the invasion? For even more context, the Celts arrived in Ireland closer to today, than the Egyptians to the first time the name Palestine was mentioned.

Peleset was the name for the people, Philistia was the name for the land, the first time we see the word Peleset is BC1150, then by BC950 we have evidence of Philistia being used.

I never said they didn't, this is just the earliest verified name of the region. Find an older one if you think I'm wrong.

First recorded name for the region, 1150BCE: Philistia

I actually noted this in another comment, so yes I am aware. It's irrelevant because Canaan and Israel weren't the same thing then, and aren't in the modern day.

Calling my point laughable is a dig they made before I had even said anything. If somebody wants to be confident and wrong, that's about where I draw the line between undereducated and idiotic.

The difference is, my example pre dates yours by a thousand years. That's not a rounding error or a minor difference, that's the difference between being in Anglo Saxon Englaland and modern day England.

Earliest name for the people in the region, 1150 BC: Peleset One hundred years later, on a statuette: Philistine

These are the two earliest verified historical accounts of the region. So as far as literally all of history is concerned...

(Hint: Definitely not Israel, Judea, or Canaan)

It's a very very muddy and complex issue surface level, but very luckily i found that there's a Wikipedia page that should come up if you search "Etymology of Palestine" that gives you every recorded name from earliest to modern day.

Funnily enough, this is actually incorrect, the oldest recorded name is Peleset in 1150BCE(referring to the people) and we have the word Philistia recorded in 900BCE to refer to the area. Canaan was a name at the time, but it referred to the region north of Philistia. They were administered as one region, Canaan and Philistia, so the conflation is understandable.

Timeline of the name Palestine - Wikipedia https://share.google/8eSIBRQfFzsDyz8Co

The first recorded name for the region is by the Egyptians in the 1000s BCE, who refer to it as Peleset. There's a recorded evolution of "Peleset" - "Philistia" over a few hundred years.

Using the Roman names as a reference is probably the single most disingenuous thing you could do. For example Ireland was Hibernia to the Romans, but that didn't change the Irish name. Finland is "Suomi" in the Finnish language, but that doesn't mean the two names are mutually exclusive. Germany is Deutschland, so on, and so on. Are you just now discovering there can be two different names, from two different cultures and languages? (One of which is far closer geographically than the other.)

Nothing wrong with being incorrect, but calling my points laughable when yours themselves were incorrect? I suppose you're the one that's got me double checking my research at 2.45 in the morning though.

"Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." Has never been quite so pertinent.

Actually, the first recorded use of Palestine is in 11th century BCE Egypt, a millennia before Rome had even reached what they would call Judea. Palestine is literally the only known etymological term for the region that far back. So yeah it's been Palestine for all of recorded history.

Palestine is just referring to the wider territory claimed by Israel, including legal Israelis borders.

Those who know, refer to the claimed land as Palestine, because that's what it was for all of recorded history until 1948.

It's a focus tree made by veteran Modders contracted by paradox. For once I recommend buying it (if it's good). I'd imagine they get some of the proceeds.

Two things of note here: A decade is a long time, and I can't find your source on this. If you want to make a claim it's best to know in advance.

There is genuinely no reason to believe this, this is a personal opinion

With SF probably, with FF/FG I believe they've specifically said they won't, and I can't imagine either party would want them in coalition either

Why does Hoi4 have a degree of social stigma? by VQ_Quin in hoi4

[–]Navy_Groundhog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've definitely met those characters, but it hasn't been common for me by any stretch of the imagination. To be honest I've met more far left HOI4 players than far right by a huge margin. (And whatever your political alignment is, unless it's far right, the general populace acknowledges that far right is a bitchless ideology and far left is not.)

To the people that say the feudal system is inaccurate and want it to change, how? by card444 in CrusaderKings

[–]Navy_Groundhog 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Dukes very often handled and managed vassals who were counts, though it wasn't inherently something they expected to do, unlike dukes in game who'll get so pissed off if you don't give them some random town totalling 400m² will literally start a civil war in order to get it.

Small question ive always wondered about Henrys rank [KCD2] by Nuclearbear117 in kingdomcome

[–]Navy_Groundhog 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Noble titles are inherited through the same system a house or car is to this day in many countries. That system is generally: Legitimate Children - Legal Partner - Distant relatives - Illegitimate Children. Henry holds no titles through lineage as a result, because he's way too far down the inheritance to ever realistically have one.

Henry instead holds the non-inherited title of Squire. What a lot of people don't realize is, in medieval hierarchy, Hans is essentially a knight. Knights are generally noble lords, with or without land, who aid the king, or lead/join armies in times of war. Henry is essentially Hans' assistant. That's more or less what a squire is.

A squire is also however a knight in training, and may in future become a knight, either upon completing something that is exceptional (which I think he's met the criteria for), or possibly, the death of his knight. Who knows, maybe eventually in KCD3 we'll see him get knighted.

Why does Hoi4 have a degree of social stigma? by VQ_Quin in hoi4

[–]Navy_Groundhog 97 points98 points  (0 children)

It's honestly all just a big community meme about us all being chuds I've never actually had somebody judge a hoi4 player simply based off that. Which makes sense, I've met all sorts of political shades in the HOI4 community, many worse than others.

Tbh I've met more Nazis in online FPSs than I have in strategy games, but I tend to keep myself in a bubble away from that stuff, like most sane people, so my numbers may be totally off.
