My ideal learning experience - ze student, writes his essay with AI, you see, and ze professor - schniff - she plugs it into ze AI grader, LLM, whatever. And now we are free, you understand, to proceed with true learning
1) Incredible how right-wingers like to revert to vulgar moral relativism when discussing the evils of the past
2) People in Columbus’s own time regarded him as a deeply vicious scumbag
@sup_serendipity@justalexoki What, to your mind, is the big distinction? Why are Catholics outside of the Christian umbrella that apparently all other denominations are?
Starship Troopers discourse is insufferable mainly because it consists almost entirely of both sides proving the other side’s point without a hint of self-awareness.
@saturnine_grace Not just a bad guy, but one whose power was magnified dialectically by the rancor against him. Nazi magic was comparably less powerful precisely because everyone who knew anything about it was super into it.
How you gonna do dark magic when everyone sees it as light
Examine any area you consider yourself an expert. Times this by 5 and that’s my expertise of nearly 50 years on church history and the papacy. This man is in the top 2 worst popes in history. He is not Catholic and has done more to harm the church than any bar one in 2000 years. Your comment highlights your utter ignorance for both the role of pope and Church teaching. I pray the next pope isn’t progressive or conservative whatever that means. I pray for a Catholic pope. This fraud has been an unmitigated disaster. From one who knows what he’s talking about.
There is something to the fact that tackling difficult topics didn’t used to code as “woke.” There is also something to be said for the fact that modern media tackles these topics badly in ways designed to punch you in the face rather than help you self-reflect.
fun fact:
the swan maiden myth (she leaves her animal skin lying out while she bathes, a man takes it and entraps her into being his wife, when she finds it years later she leaves) is one of the MOST ancient stories in humankind. likely over 5000 years old, or even prehistory
Pleeeeaase can they make Blue Hulk next, then Yellow Hulk, then Rainbow Hulk, ooh how about Silver Hulk 😎 then after we can do Ice cream Sprinkle Hulk.
I fucking hate Hollywood.
It is officially too late for one of my dearest dreams (I tell David Lynch my interpretation of his work and he tells me I'm exactly correct and no one has ever gotten it right before).
@saturnine_grace To be fair it depends on how well the parents explain the game that society is playing collectively. I could have been clearer that I was referring to the child’s processed (not initial) reaction. Those that identify it as sin are… inert.
@TheTumboy The veil between worlds is thinner in Yuletide; ghost stories (and stories of other good Christmases) have been traditional for far longer than they haven’t.
