Lo que casi nadie sabe más bien es que esto, como reliquia medieval, es totalmente falso. El cinturón de castidad de hierro para garantizar la fidelidad de la esposa mientras el marido andaba en las cruzadas nunca existió, es un mito que se montó mucho después. Lo enterró completamente el medievalista Albrecht Classen, que se leyó todo lo que se ha escrito del asunto y no encontró nada real, ni un sermón ni una ley de la época lo mencionan y algo así aparecería. La primera vez que aparece dibujado, hacia 1405, es en un tratado militar lleno de artículos de broma y fantasía, con un carro tirado por gatos incluido, y acompañado de un pie de chiste sobre "los calzones de las mujeres de Florencia". Es evidentemente una nota cómica.

Las piezas que veis en los museos son falsificaciones de los siglos XVIII y XIX. El propio Museo Británico admite que la suya es falsa, y la del Museo de Cluny que le atribuían a Catalina de Médici se analizó y resultó ser de principios del XIX, siglos después. Se fabricaron entonces, igual que la "doncella de hierro" y otro montón de aparatos de esos que andan por los museos de la Inquisición para vender una Edad Media bárbara y oscura y quedar ellos de modernos y civilizados por contraste y desde esa incomprensión, alimentar fetiches morbosos.

I now have to spend the first minute of every writting session telling whatever software "no I don't want AI to write this for me"

I hate it

I've come to realize that widespread voting by mail enables communists who hate me to effectively vote on behalf of the illiterate, the infirm, the easily led, and the non-English speaking

There is no plausible way to prevent this, therefore voting by mail must be abolished

(If nothing else, it's a great demonstration on how one's approach to epistemology affects how one treats truth claims.)

An interesting thread featuring back-and-forth with a Mormon.

[A Simple Man @ASimpleMan20]

@BebopJosh @hegelpill @Kurt_Steiner "you reject revelation"

The supposed "revelations" to Joseph Smith inherently contradict the public revelation of the Old and New Testaments in various degrees.

Why do you believe Mormonism is true?

[A Simple Man @ASimpleMan20]

@BebopJosh @hegelpill @Kurt_Steiner Also: "Despite my presentation of [James 1:5] as a direct answer to the question...you defended it as if I were challenging your entire religion by quoting the Bible."

I disagreed with your logic for citing that verse as answer; how in the world is *this* your interpretation?

[A Simple Man @ASimpleMan20]

@BebopJosh @hegelpill @Kurt_Steiner And of course you mute.

You pontificate with a lot of assumptions. You have no knowledge of the fact I converted to Catholicism by choice as an adult, or the crises of faith I've endured.

You assume much, and it only highlights how little you actually know.

I'll pray for you.

@BebopJosh @hegelpill @Kurt_Steiner 5/ Case in point: every bit of archaeological knowledge you claim is relevant to support the Church of Mormon's claims.

You didn't participate in it.

You didn't discover it.

Yet you cite it nonetheless.

[A Simple Man @ASimpleMan20]

@BebopJosh @hegelpill @Kurt_Steiner 4/ That which is true remains true; that which is false remains false. To protest "you don't believe this because someone else made the argument" is to undercut all apologetics, **because even you rely on the testimony and knowledge of others for your claims**.

The 40 million number she's referencing is the number of Mexican Americans, meaning she still views them as Mexicans which is what we've been saying all along.

I'm old enough to remember when Austin Metcalf's dad showed up at the Anthony Families Press Conference and they called the police on him and told him if he didn't leave, he would be charged with Trespassing

He explicitly extended the olive branch to the family,(far more than he should have IMO), and they refused to accept it

There's no changing their minds or behavior. Separation from people like this is the only possible solution.

H1B teachers. Just... incredible. Add it to the list.

Latin America “suddenly” lurching to the right is so obviously a knock-on effect of the end of USAID. There’s absolutely no hiding the fact it was an enormous slush fund for keeping the global left in power.

Trump stopped the Israelis from implementing the Dahiyeh doctrine in Dahiyeh itself. So now they're doing it to most other urban areas in South Lebanon, also in the hope of provoking an Iranian response.
The Israelis are not doing this for any tactical or military reason. They're doing it to make sure the Iran War continues.
