It’s funny that many the older states have new

The Romans wore skirts and thought pants were weird barbarian garments. They were right about one thing at least

Office job but working my way up to a dumpster life

Oh wow, I never thought of it that way!

How did you get into contract work? I’d love to be able to work when I need/want the money but have the option to step away for a while. I’ve been burned by too many “family” like workplaces

THANK YOU FOR THE SUMMARY, BROTHER. I’M GONNA TRY IT OUT AFTER I CRANK MY HOG. AROOOOOO!

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 perfect place to store your garum

“Our mongoose figure”

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.
