@PraetorPatrick What? Really? He blocked you over liking Gene Wolfe?

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

Is "A Princess of Mars" really portal fantasy though? Isn't it more categorized as Planetary Romance? The true predecessor of Portal Fantasy before Lewis would be stuff like Alice in Wonderland or Wizard of Oz, no?

"...canonized in modern fantasy by CS Lewis"

My disappointment is immense and my day is ruined.

I am once again begging Lewis and Tolkien NPCs to read another book.

Btw. I'm in a happy relationship with my Agnostic gf, but whenever I talk with my friends (male or female) the dating scene seems to be hell on earth.

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

"Religious dating is so hard! There are no good Christian women/men!"

Secular dating be like:

[Lettuce Defender @lettuce_isgood]

Oh sorry people have to say “we have it so hard in religious dating” despite seculars having the concept of “one night stands” and people trying to get in your pants.

@OrthodoxOrigen I think Aristotle is a good start for philosophy students as he very much is a "common sense" philosopher, but I'd advise someone to read a commentary/introduction to him before reading the classics.

Another reason why the Netherlands deserve to be destroyed. I pray that God smites that nation, but spares the righteous ones.

Someone mentioned she's in Amsterdam. That means the very likely trafficked very likely eastern european teen in that brothel is being raped for 600-1000€, less than the service job she was swindled into coming to the country for is paying.

@Aelthemplaer ...to the Pharisees than the Sadducee's. The other big elephant in the room would be Alexandrian Jews like Philo, who accepted a wider canon than the Pharisees and probably didn't observe the Talmud.

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

He wouldn't as he was against Legalism, but that doesn't negate his Jewishness.
- The Sadducees were Jews, but only accepted the Torah.
- St. John the Baptist was a very popular Jew, but probably an Essene, which means he rejected the Temple as an institution.

[Ælþemplær @Aelthemplaer]

The question "was Jesus Jewish" can be answered with a question. "Would Jesus accept the Talmud?"

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

@Aelthemplaer Fair, but it illustrates that being Jewish wasn't connected to the observance of the Oral Torah/Talmud during Jesus's time. Funnily enough, I think the Sadducee's are anathemized by the Talmud for disbelieving in the Resurrection, which Acts also records. So Jesus was closer...

This happens constantly in manual labor jobs. Apprentices often become friends with their older male coworkers. I got a friend who I regularly play D&D with and he's older than some of my teachers!

little girls suddenly became so mature

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

- 7 is a rehash of Episode 4 (my gf thinks it's good because of that as she didn't like 4).
- My opinion on 8 really depends on when you ask me. I think the Luke parts are defensible, I liked the Rey twist, but I think 8 needs a whole rewrite.
- 9 is terrible and made me hate SW.

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

Eh. The main Star Wars Saga has like two decent movies and they are Episode 4 and 5.
- 1 is boring and gets carried by its score and Maul.
- 2 is really boring and stupid.
- 3 is 50/50.
- 6 has this weird dichotomy where the Luke parts are good, but the rest is meh.

Once you rewatch the original trilogy and then pequels, you quickly realize it is all nostalgic bias because the originals are so much worse compared

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

No, as the definition of sex is what role your body fulfills in sexual reproduction. Males provide the small and females the large gamete. People with XO, XXY, etc. are to be categorized not as separate sexes, as they still only have one or the other.

[Mary Jean Alias @MaryJeanAlias1]

@zaelefty XO, XXY, etc. Obviously there are more than two sexes.

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

Because children can be surprisingly aware of their life situation. Even with children/teens regarded as "stupid" you can have sobering and somber conversations.
Also, fame can age you.

[Red Drummarts @redrummarts]

Why does he speak in such a somber tone. He's acting like an aged Brando reflecting on the many people who passed before him

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

@Tawadros15 I think legal gun ownership was a thing in Britain until the Victorian Era, because the Aristocracy was afraid of commoners having guns, especially Post-WW1.

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

@cull_trade Sex Work is genuinely evil.

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

I hate pimps. I hate them so much. Pimps should be publicly hanged and hit like a Piñata. Most of the women in brothels are either 18 year olds who have been groomed, victims of human trafficking or both. Getting PTSD at higher rates than soldiers for just 700 bucks a month.

[Hasan 👁‍🗨 @flackospalace]

This lady is going to hell

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

@Aelthemplaer St. John the Baptist was probably an Essene and John seems to imply that some of the Apostles (Andrew) were former disciples of him, so it was probably the case that after St. John the Baptist's death Essenes started to follow Jesus (Apollos from Acts).

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

@Dave52411051 @JadeAtrophis How can one be a "happy Presbyterian"?

[Augustine Enjoyer @AugustinEnjoyer]

You'd be surprised how idiotic warlords can be.
