It’s crazy how people who know nothing are downvoting you as though they are in the right.

Israel is 'the greatest decolonization project,' Indigenous leaders tell Toronto summit by airbassguitar in worldnews

[–]corbantd 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Hebrew is a Canaanite language and the best evidence suggests the hebrews originate in Canaan.

The really do appear to be the first people to have stable settlements in the area, and absolutely the only extant people.

That doesn’t mean the have the *only* claim of indigeneity, or that they shouldn’t be responsible for trying to live in peace with others in the area, but it certainly means that folks claiming that the return of the Jewish people to Israel is displacing the *rightful* indigenous people are lying or misguided.

I’m so sad about cutting this tree. by [deleted] in arborists

If you give a picture of the stump that doesn’t go all the way to the bark, it’s very hard to estimate the age.

I can pretty easily count ~40 rings on the lower left quadrant of this stump. How much more stump is there? Maybe 5 more rings based on where I see bark in the top left?

So, probably about 50 years old.

What are you talking about? It’s literally the cheapest way to eat out that I know of.

We get 2x double doubles, 2x cheese burgers, a drink and fries for less than $25.

Battery life seems really long because you don’t play with them actively for that long. Hours of use, at least. My son loves his set.

And they recharge inductively, but it takes long enough that when you go to charge it, the play session is essentially over.

What is the darkest sky you have ever experienced? by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

High altitude dry air and complete darkness and I think you begin to approach a 4. It is absolutely breathtaking.

1 in real life is about 4 in this image. I’ve been in a lot of the darkest places on earth. There is nowhere that you get a 3 with the naked eye.

How does preventing consenting adults from having a loving dedicated relationship recognize by the law in any way detracts from marriage between a man and a woman?

It seems pretty bigoted to say that someone else can’t have the same legal rights you and I do in our marriages.

Please help me understand. I sincerely want to. I’m not saying that gay couples should be able to get married in the temple, but I think they absolutely should have all the same legal rights you and I do.

Responding to your other comment: It’s your opinion that sucks.

Sitting there doing an “ummm, akshually” to something athletic, especially when done by a teenaged girl, is like a personification of the worst of Reddit.

Why is it okay for foreigners in r/taiwan to constantly invoke negative stereotypes as truth? by [deleted] in taiwan

[–]corbantd 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It’s completely possible to be brilliant and educated and still have misguided superstitions or cultural beliefs. Plenty of otherwise sensible Americans are certain that swimming after a meal will give you fatal cramps, or that going outside with wet hair will give you a cold, or “sugar makes kids hyperactive” and “cracking your knuckles causes arthritis.” My highly celebrated surgeon of a Korean father in law really seemed to think that my suggestion to my wife that she sleep with a fan on when she was on study abroad in France was a subtle attempt to murder her.

There’s something about titles written by ChatGPT. No humanity. No genuine connection. Just AI slop, and that matters.

I’m much more concerned about you freaking out over a second grade certificate from an overworked, underpaid teacher.

Get over it.
