There was. The Tigris and Euphrates flooded several times. Noah’s Ark is a retelling of an older Sumerian myth.

Okay, but, speaking as a woman, we try to explain these issues nicely, with gentle terminology and a big helping of ‘not all of you, but some of you…’ and we get ignored, dismissed, belittled, or flat-out gaslit.

So, we try going for the shock value to get you to at least pay attention instead of dismissing what we say as background noise or ‘us silly little women worrying our silly little heads over nothing’. And then we get told we can’t talk like that, that it’s insulting, that no man would listen because we’re belittling them, that it ‘doesn’t foster discussion’.

Although at least you heard us say something so many of us take it as a small win…

So, honest question. How do we explain it to you, so we don’t offend you, but you actually hear us? Actually get an idea of what it means to be afraid of footsteps behind us when we go out at night? To get leered at when all we’re trying to do is get a good workout at the gym? To have men just take liberties, like touching us, grabbing us? To not want to mention that we are a woman online, especially in gaming circles, because of the sexist bullshit and dismissive attitudes that will inevitably show up and run us out of a group we just want to be in because we like the game, damnit?

To weigh the decision to even make a post like this, because I know it will be brigaded and will attract sexist jerks who will try to shout me down? Or even attract stalkers who will follow me across instances to harass me?

Please, tell me how. Because we want you to understand. We don’t want to chase people away from discussions. But it’s so hard, and gets so discouraging…

Or maybe, just maybe, more information on COVID was being gained day by day, and they were adjusting to meet that changing data. There was plenty of scientific data backing up the changes.

Plus, y’know, they had to balance the effects of a deadly disease with the need for those essential jobs.

Good grief, get over yourself.

These twats believe a name in ALL CAPS is a ‘fictional shell corporation’ and a name in Regular Capitalized Lowercase is a ‘real person’. (They prove this by saying your name is written in all caps on your birth certificate because that’s when the government creates the shell corporation of you that they trade securities against.)

So this person is upset that the government is trying to trick them by having an envelope looking like it’s addressed to the real person, but inside the letter is for the shell corporation.

They don’t want to be conflated with their shell corporation in any way, because that’s the entity that’s responsible for taxes and following laws and paying back debts, stuff like that. SovCits want to live in and take advantage of society’s benefits, but they don’t want to actually contribute to it. Especially if it involves childcare.

Bring out your dead!

Here’s one.

I’m not dead!

‘Ere. He says he’s not dead!

Yes, he is.

I’m not!

Just of those songs that ‘everyone knows’ but no-one knew who wrote it. It’s been driving people crazy for decades.

Men who are inferior to their fellow men, are always most anxious to establish their superiority over women. ~Mary Wollstonecraft

Let’s just say his followers are all of a type.

I had to go for it because I’m very resistant to painkillers, so I would have felt every bit of my dental work. Which would not have been enjoyable for anyone lol

The foxes are not native to Australia; they were introduced for fox hunting in the 1800s. That’s why the penguins are in such danger; they don’t have any evolved defense against the foxes.

There are other colonies of these penguins, although their numbers have been declining all over Australia and New Zealand for a while now. In some areas they’ve dropped 70%, in others the colonies have been completely lost.

So it’s good that they have one safe space to breed at least.

Be careful you don’t cut yourself on all that edge.

Also fascinating that you seem to think the only people who can be sad about the death of one of the most influential mangaka are those who posted about him constantly. I’m curious; how often does one need to post about him? Daily? Weekly? Or is just one post a month sufficient?

Honestly it hasn’t been that great for a while.

I’m curious how they paid for the conference space…

Why are you complaining about someone posting appropriate content, instead of posting other crazy Facebook people to diversify content?

Remember the whole thing with GameStop? Wall Street knows, but they definitely don’t care, as long as they can make a fast buck and get out.

We’ve been over this in other posts, but everyone here is quite enjoying these and have encouraged OP to continue regaling us with the sovcit nonsense.

You’re welcome to post other stuff if you want to add more content in.

I’ve been there in the rain. It is that bad. Being steps somehow makes it worse.

But Jews do consider anyone who adopts their religion to be a part of their culture and ethnicity as well.

The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself. — Richard Francis Burton

Religious nutters, for one. They believe that when Christ has his Second Coming he will resurrect everyone who has ever died, but only if all their organs and stuff are intact and in place. So organ donation is just a conspiracy by Satan to keep everyone from being gloriously resurrected.

I honestly wonder what they think their bodies will look like a couple decades after they die. Do they think that, because they were ‘good little Christians’, their bodies will be staying as fresh as when they were interred?

Or maybe their ‘all-powerful’ God can only restore their organs from dust if that dust is in the right spot?
