It also doesn’t help that spellings started to standardize at the same time the great vowel shift was happening

The dragon from Dragonheart. It was my first time being sad from a movie.

Have Patrick Kane and Hayden Christensen ever been seen in the same room?

If the future is anything like CDDA then I will be thriving. I’ll be scavenging solar panels while rocking a Linux t shirt and a wizard hat

It was the formal “you” that could refer to one or more people. Kind of like “Sie” in German.

Alright Uralic language family, you can stop bragging now.

The compiler grows on you after a bit and generally if you’re fighting it, it’s trying to prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot. I’ve heard it depends on what languages you’re coming from. Most of my experience is with higher level languages like JavaScript so the issues I ran into while learning rust were opportunities to get a deeper understanding of computers in general.

I could see that being frustrating if you’re coming from C/C++ and just want the dang thing to do what you already know how to do.

This way the IDF can say “See? we don’t bomb hospitals”

It’s funny that this distinction needs to be made every time biscuits are mentioned in the post. There were some very confused non-Americans in the comments of a biscuits and gravy meme the other day

Thank you for engaging with the sources I was providing and not dismissing them outright. I was in the Christmas is pagan camp for a while and found the idea appealing because I dislike how Christianity homogenized everything and stomped out a bunch of unique cultures that we’ll likely never know about.

Then I started seeing some experts in the field trying to dispel the idea and I started to have doubts. Now I think Christmas was created independently and then it absorbed local customs as Christianity spread (that’s just my history enthusiast opinion though).

That doesn’t make it a stolen pagan holiday. Are you a professor of Roman art and Archeology like Steven Hijmans, one of the scholars cited in the video? The medium of presentation doesn’t make the information invalid.

I still have to mentally sing the alphabet song to double check I got the order right.

It’s an internet discussion, if I linked a bunch of scholarly articles, like the creator of the video did, no one would actually read them. It’s a quick introduction for anyone who is curious. Also, this topic has come up on /r/askhistorians several times and has been answered by some of the same scholars referenced in the video.

I hate Christmas too but it’s not pagan if that’s what you meant by stolen.

On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

Zounds m’lady! Is that a hoop skirt or your hindquarters?

I thought those were Gardetto’s rye chips at first glance

Fucking Billy. Every time it’s him. All I ask is he give a heads up text first. Great dude though, one of my closest friends.

Edit: he’s distant in terms of physical space
