That's really quite stupid

When red onions were named, there was no such thing as the word "purple" in the English language. It was considered red. In fact, red also included pink, orange, and some shades of brown.

If you wanted to refer to the shade of red that coincided with purple, you would have to compare it (ie "red like an onion" or "red like wine").

You know what they should do?

Make a new version of "Song of the South".

Change the surrounding story, reanimate the B'rer rabbit parts with new voice actors. Keep it during sharecropping, after the Civil War, but take the white family out of it. Uncle Remus is still a former slave, but he's literally an Uncle living with his own family. He's telling his grandniece and nephews the stories as passed from his own grandfather while dealing with the hardships of sharecropping and racism. Make the antagonists in the story like the white sharecropper boss also be the voices of the animal antagonists in the animated portions.

She played in crazy/beautiful the year before and was smoking in that

I thought Kirsten Dunst would be an excellent choice for MJ based on her character in Crazy/Beautiful. There, she was playing a more realistic version of comic-book MJ circa the Gwen Stacy era.

Dude, Dunst was one of my childhood crushes.

She still had all her baby teeth at the age of 20, but I felt that the imperfection enhanced her beauty.

Demon: Exists
Wukong: I'm about to end this yao guai's whole career

They also recycle stories where the only difference is the demon's appearance.

Also, every two paragraphs it goes into a poem that recounts what the previous two paragraphs were about.

Only thing that breaks it up is his weakness to water and smoke. When he runs into a water demon, either Ba Jie or Wu Jing has to go in and chase the demon out of its river so Wu Kong can finish it off.

Divine Goddess Guan Yin: You can't take Tang Sanzang on that cloud
Wukong: Oh come the hell on

One benefit of having footnotes. Physical objects and mortals are too heavy for the cloud. Spirits, gods, and divine objects are light enough to stand on clouds, so they are light enough for the cloud to carry.

If Sun Wu Kong tried to carry the monk, both he and the monk would fall through the cloud.

On the show, the only reoccurring black character and friend of Tim Allen's character is a Trump supporter. Tim's character plays coy about whether or not he supports Trump.

All cops are not bastards

I disagree, fuck the police

Under the current system, all cops are bastards, even the one in your family you looked up to as a kid. Any truly good cops are purged from the system because they didn't respect the blue wall of silence and held their own colleagues accountable for breaking the law.

You can tile out sheet cake to any size area. The only part where you'd have any concerns about structural integrity is the area with the wedges.

You glue the cakes side by side together with frosting. If a layer doesn't fit, you just cut some of the cake off.

Cake decorating is horrifyingly wasteful. It's why I hate having people watch me do it because they'll nag about it even though this was how their wedding cake was made in the professional bakery.

Quarks usually group together in sets of 3. Im assuming this means scientists have discovered they can group in sets of 5 in extreme conditions. Im just speculating, though, based on what little I know.

Finding a zoo of hadrons is very similar to how the quark was discovered in the 60s. Before the quark was discovered, protons, neutrons, and electrons were thought to be the smallest particles that everything was made of. Now there is some evidence that quarks might not be the smallest particle and is actually made up of even smaller particles.

There is already a theoretical particle that quarks are made of called the "preon":

I can't say I do because I wasn't one of those FREAKS. It was the first Zelda game for me and it's still one of the best tbh.

That was Nintendo's fault.

Ever since the Gamecube demo at the 200 Space World Con, Nintendo was hyping up a realistic Zelda sequel for several years using the same images from the demo.

Then the first actual images from the sequel comes out and it looks completely different from what they promised.

probably mostly rice crispy underneath all the frosting.

It's not difficult to bake and assemble a cake that size. The key is to bake a whole bunch of sheet cakes and put them together, then frost the seams smooth. You can easily split the work between a bunch of people with their own ovens and equipment.

Edit: Oh, it's a "Cake Boss" cake, which means it's 5% baked good, 95% carpentry. My bad.

Nah, but there's some of that in the old testament where Yahweh slowly devours lesser pagan gods to become the one Supreme being.

Reminds me when Seleucid King Antiochus Epiphanes ordered the Jews to worship Zeus. The Israelite High Priest at the time was a Hellenized Jew with a Greek name who tried to smooth the command over with the populace. He placed a statue of Zeus in the Holy of Holies and insisted that Zeus was in reality Yahweh, so it shouldn't be a problem to worship Yahweh under that name.

We know how that went.

I know that the Romans conflated Odin with Mercury. At that time, the Germanic people didn't place Odin at the head of the Norse pantheon. That position belonged to Tyr (Tiwaz), the god of war. Odin was more of an old wise man and sometime benevolent trickster, which is what Mercury was to the Romans.

Should be noted that Tolkien based Gandalf the Grey off this older version of Odin in both appearance and personality.

My one problem with his videos is that they are often impenetrable in their own right. I think he's so interested in telling a compelling story that he forgets people are there for the cliffnotes.

Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan is semi-banned in China despite playing a government stooge. He keeps applying for membership to the CCP and the CCP keeps denying him. It's because of all the scandals in his personal life and his televised pro-democracy speech at a concert back in 1989 in solidarity of the Tianamen Square Protestors.

The dude's an opportunist. He doesn't believe in anything. If Japan took over China, Chan would be hanging up Imperialist flags and scolding Chinese for not being hospitable to their foreign saviors.

Then it's pretty damn accurate to the comic. Wakanda, the people, are dicks towards outsiders and the outside world. It's one of the issues T'Challa has to deal with, trying to get Wakanda to join the wider world.

In the days before Roe v Wade, it was common in the South to force women to carry partial stillbirths in the womb. If contractions didn't expel the corpse, it would rot inside of her and the woman would die from infection.

That is actually unfortunate if true. Cause I think the story is better and actually makes Jesus look better if she was indeed a prostitute. I always thought the point was that Jesus didn't look down on anyone

True, this is one of those cases where the spin-off is better than the original story. It makes Jesus look way more progressive.

There are plenty of apocrypha gospels written by non Jews who bring their sensibilities into it. Sexual relationships between two men where one is the subordinate are common in Roman culture. As a result there are apocrypha gospels where Jesus has a sexual relationship with his nameless male disciple that is only known as "The Beloved Disciple."

The Church went to great lengths to destroy them all during the 4th century as heretical text. However, they've been found as wrappings or grave goods for Christian Egyptian mummies from the 2nd century.

Figuratively speaking many of us are, we just don't realize it or want to acknowledge it.

That's an early Roman Catholic slander to discredit Mary Magdalene since she used to have an incredibly high position in the early Church for a woman. The Orthodox and Eastern Church doesn't recognize that she was ever a prostitute.

Really old versions of the New Testament from the 2nd century say that she was the sister of Lazarus, and that she started following Jesus because he raised her brother from the dead. Later versions changed it so that her name was stricken from Lazarus's story.

On the one hand in any infinite system

It must be a closed system with maximum entropy. If another system acts on it, it would introduce work to the system which would lower entropy and start everything back to square one. Thermal equilibrium is needed for Poincare's Theorum.

Our universe is a closed system because we have a cosmological horizon due to our universe expanding faster than the speed of lighjt. Anything outside the horizon cannot interact with anything inside it. Eventually, our universe will suffer heat death according to our current models where the universe is in thermal equilibrium. And it would continue on forever unless something interrupts it like vaccuum collapse.

Cosmologists noticed that our theorized future universe would resemble the type of environment that Poincare's Theorum might occur.

There's a concept in classical statistical physics called Poincare's Theorum.

Think of the universe as an analog TV that is turned to nothing but TV snow (random static). The smallest physical measure would be a pixel. The smallest measure of time would be how long the pattern of snow on the monitor would change. The only thing guiding this is the rules of how a TV works (the chord has to be plugged in, nothing can be broadcast on it, etc.)

Poincare's Theorum would state that if you wait long enough, the randomly TV snow would change in a period of time in such a way that every TV show ever made would be broadcast. Now apply this to the universe.

The TV snow is vacuum energy and the constant crackling quantum foam of virtual particles, some of which become real particles. The universe is finite like the TV screen, but it will possibly have an infinite future. That means given enough time, every configuration of the universe will be realized and in every order possible that the law of physics will allow.

It is absolutely inevitable that not only will every version of the universe eventually exist, it will also repeat an infinite number of times. The only thing limiting it is if the law of physics allow it.

BTW the number of states possible in the observable universe if expansion was temporarily frozen has been calculated to approximately:
logBASE2 (e)10^123 bits.

You know that slight iron aftertaste you get from Popeye's dirty rice? That's from the chicken liver and gizzards.

Source: I make dirty rice for holidays and BBQs. One of the most important ingredients is ground pork mixed with ground chicken livers. I don't even consider it dirty rice without the chicken organs.

It looks like birria consom and pizza. Normally, you'd have birria tacos with birria consom where you dip a taco into the birria consom sauce.

Why can't top players be like sonicfox or wawa, who play a wide variety of characters very well?

It's about making the games interesting to the spectators. The training stage was banned for SF5 for this reason. It got boring watching match after match of the same empty room.

To be honest, I thought this was how RE7 would handle VR and non-VR gameplay. Furthermore, there were modders who created their own RE2 Remake demo years ago with the option for over the shoulder, fixed-camera, and 1st-person.

They were a team in the 90s that were basically villains masquerading as heroes (led by Baron Zemo). They eventually became actual heroes and were led by Hawkeye.

The only reason I felt it worked in the comics was because all the heroes had been out of commission for over a year. They'd probably set it during the five years the snap took place when the Avengers were not there.

Also, I think they should use already established popular villains in the MCU for the team. Make the marketing seem like it's this new team against these popular villains who band together. Then in the movie immediately reveal that the team and the villains are one in the same. Have the climax being the team split and dissolve as one side who wants to do the right thing fights against the side who wants to keep being evil and go through with the plan.

Why would they even consider sharing them unless asked though? That's images of their young loved ones and their peers and caretakers whose lives were robbed from them while their bodies were mutilated. Guns used for ill purposes and just plain evil against people obviously cause horrendous results. This isn't some situation were observers can learn anything beyond that, unlike in cautionary instructional videos about improper firearm use, driving accidents or factory / machinery accidents.

If the Allies had never taken pictures of the concentration camps after liberating them, Holocaust denial would be a lot more common. In fact, the pictures were taken and released precisely because they predicted there would be dipshits out there calling it a hoax. Just like the assholes today like Alex Jones who say Sandy Hook was a hoax and have fans who torment the victims' loved ones, calling them crisis actors

You beat me to mentioning "The Devil was a Part-Timer." It was released a bit before the isekai craze and if it had come out later it would have made a much bigger impabt. IIRC they are finally doing another season.

If you really think about it, Final Fantasy 10 is a reverse Isekai even though both settings are fantasy.
