Ofc there are. Unless they got destroyed someway or another. There was a guy named Jesus that was crucified by the romans and all that. There is proof of that. It's all the biblical stuff that there's no proof of.

nyctre ,

Exactly this. The person did exist. There's proof of that. It wasn't the son of god and didn't perform miracles, but he was real nonetheless.

nyctre ,

What about all the other ones? There's dozens. Including ones where there's no room for interpretation like with those ones.

nyctre ,

Don't believe in god either way, but if it's good enough for the majority of historians , then it's good enough for me. Not sure why you'd need more, but you do you.

One simple one was one apostle saying Jesus told them to go barefoot and with no staff and another saying he told them staff + sandals.

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. John 8:58

Which is from one of the original 4 gospels. Apparently there's evidence of it being written as early as 70AD. There's a couple other quotes I found in a link some other person linked in this thread but this one seems most direct.

nyctre ,

Ah, okay. But then we can't really make a claim either way, can we? We don't really know who he was or who he claimed to be.

nyctre ,

So instead of taking the glory for themselves like pretty much all other humans they decide to preach about an imaginary friend? Meh... Between "guy who got lost in history" and "bunch of guys that raved about that one gf that went to a different school", I'll go with the former as the more plausible one.

I'll concede the fact that it's not the same level of proof as other figures, but all these people writing about him is more than we have about others.

nyctre ,

Yeah, I guess that's fair. Religion and history are so intertwined when it comes to this subject that it's easy to dismiss sources as biased, which is what's happening here. Still not convinced they should be dismissed in this case

nyctre ,

Tried both, think both are weird. Prefer a normal or slim fit.

He's literally using the wrong pronouns and name for his transgender daughter. He's literally said he agrees with JK Rowling's transphobic comments.

You know how after a certain time has passed it's no longer a spoiler to talk about how Vader is Luke's father? Well, there's certain stuff that's so obvious and widely known that people will stop believing that you don't know about it and will assume you're trolling.The fact that you keep insisting that you haven't seen evidence of him being queerphobe is on you at this point, imo.

Iirc, he negociated to have executive producer role for the thing, so that should help.

nyctre ,

That may be, but it's their content and it's their choice if they wanna let reddit continue to profit from it or not.

Escargot is french for snail. And "persillade", which is basically parsley and garlic sauce is the most common thing they're served with. So that makes perfect sense why that tasted like that.

Never had a durian before and I'm not sure I wanna try after that description. Especially since I'm not a huge fan of papayas or mangoes.

nyctre ,

Google says 87 stones = 1218 pounds so I think you got it right the first time?

nyctre ,

So that means that for the most part it's only stupid questions being asked here?

nyctre ,

Holy shit. Zero respect given. As it's appropriate.

nyctre ,

75 years of history proves that Israel did, is and will continue to murder Palestinians. Nobody is assuming anything.

nyctre ,

While you're eating, it's fine to look at your food. When someone's talking, it's ok to look at them. All the other times, just look around. Other tables, out the window, decor, other people, etc. As long as you don't linger, it's never gonna look weird. Even if you do linger, it's whatever, just say you enjoy whatever you're looking at. Decor, someone's eyeglasses, makeup, whatever.

nyctre ,

"I really like your shirt". "Beautiful flower model" etc.

But yeah, boobs are the best.

nyctre ,

Subjective. Also wrong. Best beer is from Romania, actually. You're German? Belgian? Czech?

nyctre ,

Yep, that's why I said it was subjective. Latter part of the comment was just a joke. I've tried beers from all over and I've had great ones from all over. I just think Romania is a great country for beer because even the cheapest/worst Romanian beer is still better than the average populat beer (at least imo) and then there's tons of craft beers of different styles.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week ( arstechnica.com )

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

nyctre ,

Yeah, that could be true. But seeing as how 99% of companies are following the same business model of squeezing more and more profit out of people, I'm gonna go with Occam's razor on this one and say they're most likely just trying to make more money because they can. As long as it keeps working, they'll keep doing it.

nyctre ,

Psyop is a big word. Overblown, maybe, but definitely not a psyop. Just because there's no evidence that they're getting murdered doesn't mean what's happening is ok.

People are more likely just uniformed, like the vast majority of people everywhere. And it's easy to distrust america when they're all over the news with their fucked up stuff. And despite all that they're still above 50% with russia and china not much higher, so... Whatever.

nyctre ,

Wow, so many links and so much effort just to say: "enemy super smart and powerful that creates world-wide misinformation and controls the world", but then they're also super stupid and sends a "CIA agent" to do an ama on reddit. Fascism 101, isn't it?
