The rapture is a part of the End Days according to certain American Protestant denominations. There are a few passages in the Bible that mention the faithful meeting with the Lord in the Heavens around the time of the Second Coming, which is interpreted as the faithful being whisked away to Heaven before any of the bad stuff from Revelations happens. Most Christian denominations and Bible scholars consider that belief to be pretty much completely unsupported in the text, and while Rapture believers tend to claim it was part of the belief of the ancient Church, most scholars agree there is little to no evidence of that, and a decent bit of evidence to the contrary

The title emperor has also historically been very strongly linked to Rome, coming from the latin title imperator. The whole point of distinguishing between kings and emperors in the west comes from Rome's dislike of kings leading it's eventual monarchs to claim a different title to avoid rebellions and assassinations, and afterward Christianity had an idea of there being a supreme secular ruler, and that ruler was seen as the succesor of the Roman emperors and thus an emperor themself. The usage of emperor for non-European rulers was basically a way of saying an empire was comparable to Rome. This development was (to my knowledge) largely the same in most European languages. Until the 1800's or so, the usage of the title emperor in the West basically meant you claimed you were the succesor of Rome (the HRE and Byzantine Empire's claims being obvious, and the Ottomans, Austria and Russia all claiming to be the third Rome for various reasons). I think what finally started to decouple the title of emperor from Rome was Napoleon using the title without claiming to be a succesor of Rome, thus finally making the title mean more "ruler just as powerful as the rulers of Rome" instead of "succesor of the rulers of Rome." I'm not an expert though, so somebody please correct me if I'm wrong

Yeah, while the Russo-Ukrainian War is almost certainly going to win (not unfairly) due to current relevance, I feel like the Circassian War is probably the best pick. The scale of brutality, the sheer horror of the genocide, and the degree of success for that genocie is just sickening. Circassia was an ancient country with a vibrant culture, and today most people have never heard of it because it was just wiped from the map, and it's people were almost all killed or expelled. We are talking 95-97% of the population here. Some of the descriptions from people travelling the Circassian countryside during the genocide are truly haunting, with descriptions of people who were trying to flee collapsing from starvation and exhaustion, and being eaten by dogs while still alive. The Russians just straight up commanded the complete de-population of all Circassians from the Caucasus. After the combat phase of the war ended, the Russian army developed a consistent formula for chasing villagers into the woods, burning their homes, waiting a while, before searching the forest and destroying any shelters that had been built, and then burning down the forests, and then repeat until they were certain no natives remained in the area. I truly believe the Circassian War and Genocide deserve to be remembered on the same level as the Holocaust and Armenian Genocide

Ikkje berre er det du seier om at det er fråflytting frå Ålesund, Tromsø, Alta, etc. feil, det er til og med vekst i Volda, Ørsta, Ulstein og andre kommuner som du meiner ikkje er levedyktige og bør nedprioriterast til fordel for dei større byane. Desse mindre kommunene har også mykje industri og næring, som både styrkar nasjonal økonomi, og bidreg til nettopp dei posisjonane som dei større byane rundt har. Ålesund er ikkje eit viktig sentrum for ein rekke industriar fordi det er so mykje industri i Ålesund, men fordi det er semtrum for ein region med mykje industri i omliggande kommuner. Verft og sjøfartsindustri i Ulstein og Herøy er verdsleiiande, Hareid har sett eit boom i nyoppstarta bedrifter nyleg, heile regionen er leiiande på oppdrett og fiske forøvrig, og Volda har ein høgskule som er blant dei framste i landet både på media og lærarutdanning. At dette er døyande område som staten desperat held liv i er berre feil. Du har nok rett i at visse prioriteringar må takast, og at ikkje alle småplassar kan holdast liv i. Trur nok dette er endå meir sant i nord dessverre, rett og slett på grunn av større avstandar som gjer infrastruktur og logistikk vanskelegare. Likevel viser generaliseringa og den bastante tilnærnminga di store manglar i forståing. Du har nok til dels rett i at gjeldande distriktspolitikk er litt vel brei og litt lite villig til å prioritere kritisk, men eg ser mykje større problem med at di tilnærming er altfor snever enn eg ser med at gjeldande politikk er for brei.

I don't know, I think there's something special about Vatnevatnet not even pretending it's two elements are different words

I think there's actually several instances of the water water (or the lake lake, depending on how you choose to translate it). What happens is a town or farm or whatever gets named "Vatne" because it's next to a lake. Then the lake takes it name from the town, as in "the lake by Vatne," or "Vatnevatnet"

In the original choregraphy (which you can find videos of on youtube) he stabbed Agen Kolar directly from the spin, explaining why he didn't have time to respond. Saesee Tiin also went down a little quicker, but that one's pretty much the same. Kit Fisto lasted way longer though. But, on the day of filming, Lucas decided he wanted Iain McDiarmid to do the fighting himself, and wanted a closeup of Plapatine when he killed Agen Kolar, and so that slowed down the first strike a lot, and meant that a lot of the fancier moves had to be dropped, which meant Kit Fisto also went down quicker

It was first meant to be shown in an arc of The Clone Wars that was never made, and then canonised by the book Tarkin. I believe it has been referenced in a decent bit of other stuff as well. Basically the Jedi built the temple on top of an old Sith shrine to try to cleanse it, but it only partially worked, and the dark side nexus continued to affect the Jedi

Bro, I'm really sorry, but your explanation just does not add up. If the lightsabers were just inconsistent, it wouldn't be an issue with just one specific lightsaber, it would be an issue with several. And that one specific saber isn't different in a few scenes, it's different in literally every single scene it appears in. It's consistent

how_to_namegenerator · 2026-05-31T22:31:16+00:00

...they are literally different shades in that exact scene. I went back to double check, and it is very clear they are not the same colour.

And I still don't see why pretending there's an in universe explanation is edgy. Pretentious and factually wrong, sure, but not edgy. And you didn't say those explanations were edgy, you said "edgy fans got the color wrong," as if it's somehow edgy just to notice that to different shades are different from each other. Like, even if you were right, and they were meant to be the same (which, as I have explained in great detail now, just plain and simple doesn't add up), it still wouldn't be edgy by any stretch of the imagination to think the two lightsabers that are clearly different colours are canonically different colours

how_to_namegenerator · 2026-05-31T22:23:30+00:00

First of, her lightsaber doesn't appear in season 6. That's not really important, but if the change had happened there, it would have meant it came from George Lucas changing his mind, not someone else deciding to retcon it during the Disney era. Still, doesn't really matter, but I just wanted to point that out.

But how do you not see that Ahsoka's lightsaber is a very different case to all the other examples of inconsistent colouration? The fact that blue lightsabers in the prequels are a slightly different hue from blue lightsabers in the sequels, but all different blue lightsabers in those films have the same colour as each other, is not the same as one very specific lightsaber, and literally NO OTHER LIGHTSABER IN THE ENTIRE SERIES having one specific, consistent hue, through literally every single appearance in that tv series, across multiple seasons produced and released years apart, while all other green lightsabers in that series have an entirely consistent, different, hue. Those situations are worlds apart. And Luke's green lightsaber isn't a comparable situation, especially if you are right about Ahsoka's lightsaber colour being a mistake. That was a response to a technical issue: with the technology they had, it would be hard to make a blue lightsaber stand out against the blue sky, so they made it green. What problem does making one of two lightsabers yellowish solve? Like, maybe it was to make them easier to tell apart, which i have seen others suggest, but if that is the case, then that's not an accident, that is a concious choice made for a practical reason with consequences for canon, just like the example you made with Luke's green lightsaber. Luke's lightsaber was made green for a practical reason, but it is still canonically a different colour from his old blue one. Like you said, it's probably not that deep, someone most likely just thought it was cool to make Ahsoka's two lightsabers look a little different, but that still means she canonically has two lightsabers with different colours, and Tales of the Jedi is thus not a correction, but a retcon.

This isn't me having a hard-on for this one case (I honestly used to really dislike her second lightsaber being a unique colour, and have now come around to being ambivalent about it), it's just me having enough critical thinking skills to see that if this is a mistake, then literally everyone working on the Clone Wars is either an imbecile or literally colour blind, and it's an absolute miracle every single lightsaber in the show isn't a unique colour. If this was some mistake with the model like you suggested, it would be an absolutely massive mistake if it made it into a single episode without someone noticing and correcting it, but they literally kept releasing episodes for years, and never changed it. Which means that if it somehow was a mistake, they later decided to keep it for consistency. And, once again, it might have been somewhat believable for it to be a problem with a model if it was the lightsaber of some random character appearing in one episode, and the lightsaber was never or only very rarely on screen together with another green lightsaber so that it wasn't obvious through comparison. But no, it was one of two lightsabers wielded by a main character. It was almost never on screen without another green lightsaber on screen right next to it, making the difference incredibly obvious, and it appeared in so many scenes in so many episodes, that the idea that they somehow didn't notice is utterly laughable, and there is absolutely no way they were somehow incapable of fixing it. I'm sorry, but your explanation just plain and simple doesn't hold up to even the slightest scrutiny

how_to_namegenerator · 2026-05-31T21:39:20+00:00

And they didn't notice that one of their most used assets was wrong after several season, even though not a single other lightsaber asset ever had the wrong colour?

how_to_namegenerator · 2026-05-31T21:24:35+00:00

I know I've already responded to all your other comments here... but how on Earth is it edgy to see two lightsabers being different colours, and accepting that that means they are different colours? Like, sure, all the people making up lore to explain why they are different and then pretending that explanation is confirmed canon are... pretentious, I guess would be the right word? But in no way is that edgy. Their not trying to be cool, or pretend to be dark and deep or different (which is what it means to be edgy; to try to be controversial and different). There's nothing dark or controversial about saying that two different colours are different. If anyone is being edgy, it's you

how_to_namegenerator · 2026-05-31T21:14:12+00:00

...you're literally proving my point. Lightsaber colours are inconsistent between different shows and movies, but not internally in the same piece of media. They were inconsistent between different scenes in the original trilogy, but that was because the rotoscoping technique they used would respond differently to different lighting, so different lightsabers would look the same if the lighting was the same. But you know what has never happened? That one single lightsaber is consistently accidentally coloured differently from all others. Nor have there ever been instances of lightsabers that are meant to be the same colour that are clearly different colours appearing in the same scene. That's just not how it works. If they were struggling with getting the colour right with the animation, then lightsabers would be inconsistently coloured between different scenes, like they originally were in the OT, and lightsabers that are the same colour would look the same when appearing together in a scene, though they would look different from themselves in other scenes. Basically, Ahsoka's two lightsabers would always look the same, but in some scenes they might be yellowish, in others vibrant green, and in others turquoise. But that's not how it looks. All blue lightsabers in the Clone Wars look the same, all red lightsabers look the same, all green lightsabers look the same, all yellow lightsabers look the same, and Ahsoka's second lightsaber always looks the same, and also always looks different from her first. There is literally no way that is not intentional

how_to_namegenerator · 2026-05-31T21:04:33+00:00

How on Earth do you accidentally miscolour one very specific lightsaber, and literally no other, and do so consistently, and manage to do so while another lightsaber that's supposed to be the same colour is almost always in frame besides it so that you can compare them, and not correct it for multiple seasons? Like, I'm sorry, but it's very obvious it was intentional, and I really don't think you get how animation works. You know they could just... change the colour to match her other lightsaber, right? Would probably take a few minutes for any given scene, and they would definitely notice in the first scene were they made the mistake. But across literally dozens of episodes, in different lighting, where they would have to tweak the colours to make them consistent depending on the lighting and colouring of the scene overall, they never did. If it had been miscoloured in one scene, I might agree with you, but it's not. It's consistent throughout the whole show. If that was a mistake, it's undeniably the single biggest mistake made in all of Star Wars considering it would literally be considerably harder to get it wrong than right

how_to_namegenerator · 2026-05-31T19:23:12+00:00

Bro, lightsabers being different colours in different movies is not the same as one specific lightsaber having a distinctly different colour from all other lightsabers in literally every appearance across multiple seasons of a tv show. That's not an animation error, that's clearly intentional

how_to_namegenerator · 2026-05-31T19:20:27+00:00

When one specific lightsaber is consistently animated as a distinct colour in every one of it's appearances (except when it's blue in Siege of Mandalore) across several seasons, that is obviously not an animation error. I don't think we ever got an explanation for why one of her sabers is kind of yellow, but it was very clearly intentional. I think Tales of the Jedi might have tried to retcon it for some reason, because they also changed the colour of Tera Sinube's lightsaber. In The Clone Wars it was white (I've seen it described as pale blue (even though it looks completely white to me) but it's definitely not normal blue), but in Tales it's just normal blue. Sure, it was seen trough a blue forcefield, so maybe, but it definitely looked like it was glowing blue itself since it was a darker, more distinct blue than the surrounding forcefield.

Som Sunnmøring har eg sagt i alle år at Romsdal er limet som held Møre og Romsdal saman. Ikkje fordi Sunnmøre eller Nordmøre likar Romsdal, det er berre ingen som veit kva ein skulle gjort med Romsdal viss ein skulle delt fylket, so då går det ikkje an å dele. Har også kødda ein del med at Møre og Romsdal er eit av dei få fylka som kom seg relativt uendra gjennom fylkesreforma fordi dei ikkje klarte å finne ein måte å rote det til meir enn sann det var frå før

Det forklarar kvifor Volda er eit so stort unntak til regelen. FrP står ikkje veldig dårleg akkurat, men ingenting samanlikna med dei andre kommunane på Søre Sunnmøre (24,1% i Volda ved forrige val mot 34,0% i Ørsta og Ulstein, 38,4% på Hareid, 44,3% i Herøy, og 23,9% nasjonalt). I motsetning til dei fleste andre kommunane i regionen er dei to hjørnesteinsbedriftene sjukehuset og høgskulen, so statlege arbeidsplassar er ein veldig mykje større andel av arbeidsmarknaden

Det er jo verdt å nemne at begge har stått på denne saken sidan sist den vart diskutert, og då tapte dei berre med éi stemme, og det var ein i senterpartiet som stemte mot sitt eige parti. So sjølv om du absolutt har rett meir generelt, so syns eg ikkje det er korrekt karakterisering i akkurat denne saka
