I might have fucked that one up, all I can remember with certainty was there were enough sources that could be cross referenced to include the baptism of a man named jesus by john the baptist and there being mention of like a visual depiction that could be taken as a reliable second source but this was a first year history of religion paper I struggled a lot with so Id take it all with a big grain of salt

All I really remember for sure was historians can (sorta) agree he was baptised by probably john the baptist

I actually stupidly chose Jesus as a historical figure to write a proper primary sources only paper thinking there would be a breadth of info on the guy… and found out the hard way that from a historically factual standpoint all we’ve got is he probably existed, was baptized, and was executed. Straight up all weve got is what roman records gave us and one painting that might not even be right I think it was like a few depictions and some stories that corroborated

I always had this pet theory that Jesus was more like a group of dudes who had a similar message and that the guy existed and was executed by romans (thats as far as we got from roman records iirc is a guy who fit the bill existed and was executed) but that the jesus stories from the new testament were an amalgamation of different street preachers or philosophers and were incorporated into religion

But my heart also wants to believe he was a dude who was really fuckin good at pulling coins from behind someones ear

They can poop on native groundcover still!

Aw i love seagulls, i love any creature that finds a way around our mess and makes a niche inside of it. Plus they learned how to steal and that’s kinda fun.

That’s basic level, like you can pick science 20/30 or you can pick two from chemistry, physics, or bio at those levels. The mandatory one is science 30 but I think bio 30 should be baked in because we clearly did not teach enough people how their whole shit works

Maybe ruined is a bit hyperbolic , the diaphragm is actually tough and iirc skeletalbut it strains the muscles so i gave myself acid reflux and burp when i talk sometimes

Worth it? Only when im not having acid reflux

It got better over time though, the secret was simply to stop being a weird dork child who learned to force burp for a parlor trick

Canadas response to the pandemic (oops we did a convoy)makes a lot more sense now dont it :')

I like the cut of his jib

Canadian for high school level biology

No but I do really fux with their compound language

Are these common German beliefs, am I in the wrong country?

Lawns are stupid and I think they look boring

Also pigeons are underappreciated and we are gonna go to pigeon hell for how dirty we did them

Bio 20-30 should be mandatory

I got so many hot shit takes somebody stop me

I ruined my diaphragm learning how to burp my ABCs

It was only sort of worth it

Too bad we dont have phonetic emojis to complete the circle and make them true hieroglyphics

My list of graves to piss on is becoming impossibly long but he is right in the top 10

If it were truly actually accurate maybe not… but the issue is it is a syncophancy machine being obtusely oversold as capable of multitudes of things it cannot intrinsically do accurately or as well as a person with critical thinking and is being trained on fallible data sets that include human error and now hallucination from LLMs.

If it actually were capable of doing everything the people selling you on AI are trying to get you to believe it would be an incredible tool, but it isnt, and it isnt being treated as a tool.

I think it also does us a disservice as human beings because we are at risk of losing the ability to do our own problem-solving and process of logic bedause it can be offloaded to something else and that imho can manifest as a learned helplessness.

Burglin Gnomes and Tomb Raider (2001) may have some valid crossover and the gnomes would be greatlt improved by huge conical boobs

The city I live in had 15 pedestrian deaths from cars as their previous record, this year we are up to 40.

Cars are rapidly increasing in size and weight, decreasing their visibility, and people wont get off their phones. I do also partially believe that covid hit cognitive function and that tough times are making people antsy and angry too.

The real answer right here, I dont think ive seen a proper gaming Cafe in like a decade. Id love to see them still exist but in my neck of the woods most people save for their own gaming PC or just get a console

I think if hardware prices stay where theyre at though maybe a feasible return could be seen but we dont even have the LAN party spirit around anymore to draw groups for multiplayer like we did back in the day

This might not be popular but we kinda blew it on educating these kids, never gave teachers the resources they need to correct that, and theyre growing up into a world that sucks to inherit

My cynicism was WILD as a teenager (i mean it still is but it was then too) because I was growing up into a world full of problems that I was watching not get solved: climate crisis, housing crisis, wage stagnation, enshittification…

These kids are inheriting a garbage bag full of sports betting and wildfire smoke. They have nowhere to hang out, the places they could hang out are expensive, the childhood we had and our parents had isnt available to them even if youre trying.

Plus theyre now growing up with AI conditioning almost a learned helplessness because you dont have to think anymore. You dont have to look for your answer, but the answer isnt correct a lot of the time and nobody is telling them that because theyre surrounded by shit telling them AI is the future and media literacy is shot
