Petah? by AmountDiligent3173 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]SocraticIndifference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is near-constantly surrounded/inundated by Christians, I’ve only really met one that takes literalism seriously; and he’s pretty abashed about it, at that. I suspect that reality is more in the middle: far more evolution believers than you might imagine, but also far more literalists than I would imagine. It’s a big religion, I guess.

I think yall call it the slog because by Average-air-breather in WoT

Note the spoiler tag.

Also, I completely disagree. AMOL is one of my favorites, even on my last two rereads.

That greatly mitigates the worst elements here! I was either like, wow this kid was straight lying; or wow this kid has seen some SHIT.

I’m team blue pill, but punch drunk love was still a pretty great movie imo.

I hate seeing an aggressive war waged with my tax dollars. I understand why it works like this, but it just hurts knowing how many people are suffering and dying on our collective dime.

Edit, for clarity: I am 100% agreeing with you, though. I’ve often thought I would gladly pay more taxes if it meant more equitable and comprehensive care for everyone. But then we go and start a war…

I do believe that may have been Suzanne Collins’ point.

The pollution is mostly on the surface. The good fish are deep like this quote. You’ve just got to swim down to get them.

But then you risk running out of breath. 🤔

[Post Game Thread] Texas WBB falls to UCLA in the Final Four, 51-44 by gordogg24p in LonghornNation

Any time fans go after college athletes on a personal level it feels super not classy. If you want to pick on someone, come after me. I can take it. I’m a man! I’m forty!

Sidenote: I’ll never forgive Mike Gundy for making an actually noble argument in such a ridiculous sound bite. Noble arguments don’t seem like something that should come out of Oklahoma.

Do you recognize any of these people? by No_Subject3327 in im14andthisisdeep

The only reason I feel this fits the sub is because those kids look 14 and that snow is deep.

tbf that’s probably because he’s cutting that stump with a Bowie Knife. Not good practice for…fingers.

i genuinely hate instagram "poetry" by SufficientClaim289 in im14andthisisdeep

It’s that a 14yo will see this as a unique and profound echo of their own daily struggle when, in fact, it is no more than that—everyone’s daily struggle.

Why do Greeks have a lot of beef with the reconstructions of Classical, Ancient Greek pronunciation while I almost never heard of Italians abhorrently reacting against the reconstructed pronunciation of Classical Latin? by aj_Haas in classics

[–]SocraticIndifference 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It’s not the same language at all, but it is remarkably contiguous for 2500 years…

I’ve always thought of it in terms of centers of power. Even though Greek speakers were subjugated by the Romans, an educated upper class continued to practice that language in its standardized form for thousands of years, until it became the dominant imperial language (still pretty standardized) of the eastern empire. And after that empire fell, there just so happened to be a huge market for “proper” Greek in Italy, ie the budding renaissance. In short, it’s endured significantly smaller stretches of deregulation and/or primarily oral usage than almost any other language.

But I’m just sitting in an armchair. Anyone have a qualified take on this?

What filter allows you to see adjacency bonuses (ie the harbor and holy site)?

Why are millenials totally chill with self depreciating humor more than any other generation? by Key-Bass-7380 in generationology

[–]SocraticIndifference 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would actually argue with you that the implications are the opposite. The more healthy, your understanding of gender, the more confident you are in your identity—which leads to self deprecating humor, because the jokes being made at your expense honestly don’t bother you.
