- Replying to @Olympics and @Paris2024All the Christians reacting to this with hate - what did you think the Olympics were based on exactly?
- Genetic proximity to Early European Farmers. Redder = closer.
- This is nonsense. Regardless of where the Sami may have originated, they have no more claim to being "indigenous" than any other European. Proto-Indo-European developed IN EUROPE, and the subsequent cultures that developed from it in Europe are indigenous to Europe in every
- Lord of the Rings captures the heroic inspirational ideal and ascends to the status of myth. Its underlying themes stand outside of time and the prose captures the beauty of Tolkien's imagination. It elevates the mind and soul. Game of Thrones is entertaining. It tries hard toLiking Game of Thrones more than Lord of the Rings is a signal of ignorance or a spirit that is sick and in need of healing
- Replying to @BladeoftheSNo he didn't. The word "fascism" didn't even exist during Marx's time.
- Replying to @MikeDiplockre-Brought us into a war nobody wanted -Almost doubled immigration levels, which now Trudeau has quadruple (or more). Having said that, I voted for him in that final election, after having opposed him for years. Compared to what we have now it was paradise. The reason he lost is
- Mycenaean armour looks epic. Granted these are recreations with probably a lot of licence taken, but it would be hard to beat these in both fashion and protection.

I stopped playing video games when I was 25. Then I finished a PhD. "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."Readers added contextThe quoted Bible verse is out of context. Paul is using different periods of life as an analogy to represent the imperfection of present christian gifts in life (as the perception of a child) in comparisson to future perfection (as the perception of an adult). biblehub.com/esv/1_corinthi…
- Replying to @Kanthan2030Poverty definitely still exists in China. However, the kind of open drug use and slums that exist in the West does not exist there. A rural village may be poor in China but it doesn't have people rolling around on the streets out of their minds and randomly stabbing people to
- Replying to @texasrunnerDFWHas anyone in the history of the world ever aspired to be a "factory worker"?
- Turns out the Basque population is the closest genetically to the Iron Age Iberians (like the Celts) and has the highest level of steppe ancestry due to low levels of post-Iron-Age admixture. Ironic, because they are the only population in western Europe to not speak an
- Replying to @Nigel_FarageThis is the most relevant thing he has ever said. Our future king should be playing a larger role in politics, standing up for moral causes such as ending brutal conflicts and defending the native peoples of his kingdom.
