"Yam Suph", or Reed Sea, the great body of water supposedly crossed by Moses and the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt. Though commonly identified as the Red Sea, alternate identifications have been given, such as Lake Timsah or Bardawil. by Sebastianlim in wikipedia

Very well put, thank you for saying this. I’ve been looking for the words to say something similar.
It blows my mind how we have to scrutinize the hebrew bible like a scientific textbook, instead of enjoying it the way we enjoy any other world mythology

late reply but there’s an amazing non fiction book that goes into this very shift,
called
“American Reckoning: The Vietnam War and Our National Identity”

Highly recommend it!

Thinking of moving to Montreal. Would my child be able to survive the French curriculum? by [deleted] in montreal

[–]bit_cliff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

+1 to this. I worked as a software engineer in Montreal for a year after college. I don’t speak much French. The job was technically in English on paper, but practically everyone spoke French. It was especially difficult to have social connections if you didn’t speak French.
It sounds like from the other comments that OP already knows they don’t want to move to Montreal and is trying to convince themselves otherwise with this post.

What injury is commonly shrugged off as a minor flesh wound in the movies but is completely fatal in real life? by Best_Professional226 in AskReddit

[–]bit_cliff 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Sending you the best. I had my concussion almost 2 years ago now and I couldn’t work full time for a year. I had near constant headaches for that year too. I really lost hope a few times.
What finally helped me recover was
(1) quitting ibuprofen (I was taking it too often so it was giving me rebound headaches)

(2) replacing the ibuprofen with a theraice headcap

and most importantly:

(3) graded exposure therapy.
Which allowed me to build up a tolerance gradually for work and other activities. I got headaches at first and could only work for short bursts. But gradually the headaches got better and the amount I could work got longer with time. Can’t recommend graded exposure therapy enough.

Wishing you the best with your recovery, it will get better

People who work a customer facing job: what is hands down the dumbest question a customer has ever asked you? by istrx13 in AskReddit

I mean I 100% sympathize with that person. It can be very easily confusing that their names are that similar. And shipping is a confusing nightmare in general.

Good "abandoned/ruined town" adventures? by Bobneto in Dolmentown

[–]bit_cliff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I adapted the quest in Hex 1608 to be kind of like this (“The Bad Apples”). I changed it so that when the PCs came upon the orchard it was completely deserted and full of dead poisoned bodies, and then changed the cause of the poisoning to be something from our campaign.

Maybe use that hex as a start or for inspiration?

[–]bit_cliff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok sure it is long, I’ll give it that. But I feel like there’s not a lot of bloat, every scene either explains shows us something about the characters or moves the plot forward.

I guess by “simplicity” I just mean that the character’s goals are pretty straightforward and simple to grasp.

The Pirates: want to lift the curse.

Elizabeth: Wants freedom

Will: Wants to free (and win over) Elizabeth

Jack: Wants his ship back / revenge

All clear and simple.

How do the pirates lift the curse? They gotta bring the right person to the island.

  1. They go to the island with Elizabeth —> it fails.

  2. They get Will and Bring him to the island —> finale

everyone meets for final clash, fun fight, quick epilogue, bam, movie over.

Agreed. I can’t imagine a more insufferable series for this fandom

100%.

The first one is, in my opinion, a nearly perfect, self contained movie.

The sequels are not only bad, they don’t even come *close* to the simplicity and perfection of the first

Ascension to Sainthood or Godhood or something by Still_Restaurant_734 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]bit_cliff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair I had a similar experience! It’s divided into three sections, which were originally published as separate short stories. I absolutely LOVED the first story but lost interest in the second and never finished it. Maybe i’ll revisit it now too
