I wonder if future societies will look back and think we pronounced it as one sound like "ock"

It's astonishing how pretty much everything distasteful in the new testament comes from Paul. If you took him out you'd lose 70% of the story but it would be so much more palatable as a religious text

Does anyone have an explanation for why Millennials would consume the most physical press out of all the demographics?

Im genuinely sorry but i don't really understand what you're saying here... Could you maybe rephrase this for me?

Much as its nice to draw comparisons to modern politics. Im given to understand that modern scholarship doesn't agree. The romans killed jesus for breaking roman law (claiming to be/being perceived as the ruler of a roman province). Blame was later shifted to jews because Christianity was being preached to a Roman audience who wouldn't want to see themselves as the bad guys.

You strike me as a wise individual, PugJesus

Ya fair enough. I get defensive of Vercingetorix because so many people meme him into a punching bag.

Main thing to remember with this story is that its Ceaser's own account of what happened, written specifically to mythologize himself. It's guaranteed that he's lying, it's guerenteed that it didnt happen like this. The only real question is whether he's lying because it was a much harder fight and he wants to seem stronger, or whether it was a much easier fight and he wants his opponent to seem stronger.

Edit: apologies for the hasty, under-researched comment. I went into a momentary anti-roman fugue state.

A while ago I slighted the darksouls fans on here and the next day I noticed that every comment I had ever made had extra downvotes on them

People have more or less completely forgotten that vampires are meant to represent the monstrosity of an unchecked aristocracy/wealthy upper class. They sold their souls for power and now live exclusively by feeding off those beneath them. You don't just 'become' a vampire like you don't just 'become' rich. You can certainly become enthralled to a vampire though

I have often likened Fromsoft and Bethesda in the way that while Bethesda outsources their bug fixing to the community, Fromsoft outsources their story to the community. In both cases the community adds more than there really is and acts like the developer earned the credit.

When i figure out what gen a's 'funny' synonym is I'll update the list
