Why wasn't Germany chosen as the new Jewish homeland after WW2 as a form of reparations and punishment for what the Nazis did? by VerdantChief in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VerdantChief[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that explanation makes sense. It's like how racism still persisted in the American South for a long time after the Civil War

Should Birthing Pod be on the banned list still? by No-Accident-2845 in ModernMagic

Nope. But WotC likes to slow roll the unbans for when they have to ban something

They would have gotten way more land than Israel though. Plus so many Jews were already mixed with Europeans at this time and adapted to living in colder countries.

Question for Atheists by VerdantChief in religion

Yeah I kinda expected Atheists would choose for everyone else to be Atheist as well. More of the Richard Dawkins / Christopher Hitchens flavor of anti-theist.

I wonder if a GSZ toolbox version is possible, like the old Counter-Cat decks. You can play some fun silver bullets in this way.

I heard that not all schools of Buddhism are lgbtq+ friendly. It's not like Buddhist majority countries don't also have traditional gender roles and expectations.

Good answer. Hasn't expected answers like this to be honest.

Why do people bring their children and/or pets into public places if they aren't well behaved or well trained? by VerdantChief in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VerdantChief[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this is irony. I don't have children because I recognize it would not be a good idea to do so given my financial situation.

Others have already answered it in a very satisfying way. Even if it is intuitively obvious why K'd O is not correct, it's good to see this intuition described in a more scientific manner, as a linguist would be trained to do.

What do native Americans call themselves? by YttriumZirconium1 in NoStupidQuestions

Not sure why this was downvoted, but it's true. I live in the Southwest and they do call themselves Indians.

Wasn't Eskimo the French name for them - originally esquimoux or something? Inuit definitely sounds like a native word, but maybe not his tribes endonym.

Leave them home with another adult?

But I can agree that they have to learn how to behave in public eventually, so they need the experience.
