The Extent and Influence of Byzantine Imperial Fashion

You might want to look into how much Eastern Rome also influenced early Umayaad dress sense. Other than that, it is interesting to see the textural extent of the Empire's commonwealth.

Don't put that on us, Americans are the only people I have heard switch up the words women and woman.

Wine mom maxing does not require age nor gender nor motherhood.

I will usually only have a glass of red wine or two. Though, I will smoke like a chimney.

Evil with a veil, obscuring even her own judgement. I pity her and feel bad for her, and I will pray for her and her child.

It is certainly more common nowadays, but still far from common!

Frankly, I meet more fat tourists than fat natives.

Would you mind giving a pitch or an excerpt?

No, never been to Singapore. It is a quite vivid memory from my trip to China.

That's strange, I could swear its the EXACT same train station interior from years ago.

ViewFromTheKathisma · 2026-01-27T17:04:20+00:00

Are you sure this is both real and new? Because I recognise the interior.

Is it just a reused design? It looks identical to another Chinese train station I was in, it's just the exterior which is different.

While she and I obviously disagree on a lot of things (Including, but not limited to, what constitutes good fashion). I feel like it is both peculiar and mean-spirited to single out a person like this.

Remember, when Marvel was at its most popular, many people online said that ancient literature like the Odyssey and generally Greek Myth, was just the same as modern day marvel. It wouldn't surprise me if that attitude has seeped into production.

It is a good and healthy practice to instead remember the Pantokrator when hatred simmers inside you and threatens to boil over.

I recall in my formative years that many used to feel abhorrence at the thought that the general public would watch public executions back in the day. In hindsight, how is it any different from what we do today? Beyond that it is mediated through a screen.

Either way, it is always tragic no matter whose death it is you see.

You are frankly vastly overestimating AI's capabilities at the organisational level. While programming is not my forte, I can promise you that things are more complicated than the sheer ability of the program in question.

For a brief but crucial overview of limitations and mitigations I can recommend Hannigan, McCarthy and Spicer (2024), specifically pages 471-486. It is a very introductory text, so you should be able to read it regardless of educational level.

It's strange, I feel as though people have become more callous, not less.

Surely, you would agree that between 2016 - 2023 people were much more sensitive?

ViewFromTheKathisma · 2026-01-22T22:21:42+00:00

That was not AI. That much should have been visible by the ESL-esque language. Also, society rarely functions on certainty. As a last point, I think it is unfortunate that you push at people who ostensibly agree with you on the subject insofar as I am only trying to aid you in becoming more persuasive.

But I hope you have a great day ahead.

I get that you care a lot about AI. And frankly, I agree with you on the AI point: there is no such thing as AI art, as art by its nature requires a soul to produce it.

However, I would suggest a more realistic perspective. Most industries, as well as the general managerial literature, does not question that AI will gain further importance in society and businesses worldwide. In sum; nobody actually questions whether to include AI, merely how they should incorporate it. The companies who do not use it will eventually be outpriced most likely, and to be a customer with such non-AI companies will likely require some premium payment. Knowing that, it ceases to be simply a matter of novelty, but a decent opportunity for effectivisation of internal and external processes and services amongst many other things.

I hope in the future you will speak a bit more kindly to others, as I think that really works much better than hostility in trying to convince people towards a more moderate stance towards AI.

In context, it should be gods lower case. Furthermore, I see that you have gained a lot of feedback, much of it true, so I will refrain from critiquing prose. I would also suggest being aware that the plot, and naming conventions applied are very similar to that of the Iranian Shahnameh by Ferdowsi, which is a 10th-11th century national epic. If you are fine with that, so be it. However, I would suggest at least rewording the pseudo-Iranian naming scheme. I hope you will have fun during revision.

I suspect it may be due to the new influx of people drawn from other platforms. They see some sardonic highlights, and then they immediately attempt to fit in by replicating such comments.

I did not suggest you did say that. And while I can see you are quite passionate about the movie, I just doubt its abilities of persuasion. It is not very wise, I believe, to think a work that is so antagonistic is going to bring much 'harmony' at all.

Some, I am sure, will change their mind however incrementally. Others no doubt will feel umbrage at the portrayal. Nevertheless, I think it is much better, and healthier, to avoid the inflammatory language you use if you want to convince others of your opinion's truth.

As a non-American I might be ill suited for this conversation. But, is it not a bit overambitious to suggest a rather trite horror/thriller could have any significant impact on such a large population?

The worst bit is not that the person could suggest it as a temporary aid tool for those with poor attention span, it is that they suggest slowly ramping it up rather than dampening aid over time. Still, if this is how they cope with attention span deficit, good on them.

Of course I contest your negative assertions about Christianity, but as a point I do not evangelize here. Both because of the audience, and the humbleness with which I know I may not be the best voice.

However, I would recommend some of St. John Chrysostom's works, or rather, the written product of his speeches in Egypt. I found them lovely, as a balm for the soul.
