  • It’s almost like a bunch of colonizing powers came in and stole all their money and material wealth and usurped their country’s political system and beggared all the people and then they didn’t have the money time or motivation to protect the artifacts while they were all starving or being bombed

    First off, weird to point out that they’re “age appropriate”

    If your kid reads above the age level and understands it that’s generally a good thing

    Number two I don’t get why this is such a weird concept on how to explain things to a child. Seems pretty normal and “age appropriate”





  • Pretty sure Persia, India, and China all had great empires and knowledge well before Christianity was even a little sperm cell in the Judean god’s sac but sure

    Which btw most of foundational mathematics was created in the Eastern and Persian world, not by Christians. And it was from there that the Greeks got their knowledge. To the point Pythagoras was not the one who created or realized the Pythagorean theorem, it was just named after him because of the western world. And that was a couple thousand years before Christianity existed.

    The literal word Algebra comes from Al Jebra and his works.

    So yeah you’re just racist and misinformed.

    No it’s not it’s specifically that companies can sell Americans the same food they sell in other countries but in those countries, the same food is made with much better ingredients.

    Look at the difference between the ingredient list in a Heinz ketchup bottle in the EU vs in America.



  • Having worked in IT about 12 to 15 years ago I can honestly say I just stopped believing people when they told me they did things or checked things because 99% of the time it was just a flat out lie.

    And taking them at their word meant wasting my own time because usually it was just a quick fix that I suggested in the first place.

    It quickly, quickly taught me that 99% of people are fucking idiots, and that even the smart ones who actually knew what they were doing with a computer could be idiots too.

    At the same time, apparently the distress call went out moments before. A ship that size is not going to be able to turn in time, and a ship that weight is going to impart a hell of a lot of force even if moving slowly.

    Someone very well may have fucked up, I would say the chances are pretty high, but I feel like that happened well before the power went out
