They’re the same. You’re just more familiar with the English pronunciations. E.g John = Jean in French, Giovanni in Italian, Juan in Spanish, Giannis in Greek, Johannes in German, Ivan in Russian, Joao in Portuguese, etc..

I appreciate Rastafarianism as a cultural thing but it's also funny because it's a very stupid religion when you think about it

Just returned from a trip to Japan. In truth, I think modern Tokyo is one of the great accomplishments in civilizational history. It is the apex city.

There are 40 million people living there with extremely high levels of *justified* social trust.

It's incredibly clean, orderly, and safe, and yet it doesn't feel totalitarian--at least not if you behave yourself like a civilized person. The respect for individual freedom is clear and visible.

Reaching such high levels of social harmony would be an accomplishment for a single neighborhood, but Tokyo happens to the biggest city in the world. The sheer size alone is unbelievable--the infrastructure alone boggles the mind--and yet it's coupled with ultra-high levels of social harmony. There's nothing else like it.

Truly, it gives me some pride as a human. What an incredible thing we've accomplished.

Did you know that when the 'Windrush Generation' of Afro-Carribeans began arriving in the UK hardly anyone would rent them properties?

Yet one highly unscrupulous slum lord saw an opportunity and started using properties in Notting Hill.

This led to sever racial tension and the 1958 riots.

He fought alongside the 'polish resistance' in the Second World War as his family lived there.

He garnered a reputation as a gangster and ran numerous brothels. He worked alongside the Krays and was involved in the Profumo Affair.

His name?

Peter Rachman.

He is buried in the Bushey jewish cemetery.

A Jew isn't fully Jewish until they take up the inner practice of the Kabbalah, which is witchcraft.

Bantu peoples have waged conquest and expansion on Pygmies, San and Khosians. They quite literally linguistically replaced them, forced assimilation and displaced the indigenous hunter gatherers in their path.

She was a canary in the coal mine. So much about our newly idealized standards of beauty sprang from the JLo phenomenon. The Kardashians, Instagram face, the Mar-a-lago face, the Dubai face, the obsession with having nice butts and pancake booty being heavily penalized, all came to the popular mind bc of Jenny from da block.

Imagine if the Romans and Persians didn’t exhaust each other for 500 yrs so Arabs couldn’t cope that they simply walked in two decaying empires internally with civil conflicts.
