@st0lencats I feel like I’m taking crazy pills every time this discourse comes up because to me the even glaringly more obvious point is: Magic is not real! Witchcraft charges were overwhelmingly due to religious hysteria/misogyny, women were not ACTUALLY performing witchcraft.
@MofuMofuSugar_ @our_god_father@st0lencats He didn’t miss the point though? He brought up an example that proves the point wrong. That’s not the same as missing the point.
@DarthGrando “How Star Wars Was Saved in the Edit” has done incalculable damage to peoples understanding of objective reality. Literal books worth of information that no one cares to look at because a YouTube video told them something that appealed to their preconceived bias
@maiamindel@bidonica1 Saw a tweet once that said “George Lucas was influenced by Westerns, Samurai movies, Saturday matinee serials, eastern philosophy, the heroes journey and Arthurian legend, and he made Star Wars. JJ Abrams was influenced by Star Wars and he made a shittier Star Wars”
@RealiaAmelia Doctor: yeah your internal organs look like they’re heavily, heavily damaged by alcohol damage
Morgan: damn that’s crazy McDonald’s is so unhealthy
@JantheTool Genuinely where is the pedo accusation coming from? I’m trying to recall any time he thought soemthing creepy about a young character and I’m drawing a blank but idk
@theweirdinggay@erryknotarryk As someone who ready Princess and the Queen and Rogue Prince way before reading F&B I still sometimes will realize that F&B slightly changed wording from how I remember and that gets a bit annoying lol
@stevenniem1989@LegoRacers2 Corn can refer to other grains in English, but it’s confirmed that Maize exists in westeros. It’s yellow, grows on ears, is sweet, Arya and the nights watch eat some that’s roasted in aCoK. Also George has confirmed that corn exists in Westeros at a convention lmao
@SettledWolves@LegoRacers2 Well I mean, if the streets form anything resembling a grid then it’s reasonable that calling it a block might arise organically!
