@Andrewnsnyder Beowulf and others definitely benefit from being readable in a couple long sittings over a single day. Shakespeare similarly as well.

Do love this translation though, reciting the preserved alliteration felt mega nice.

[EJ Preston @ejpreston]

@PAHoyeck LOL 😂😂

[EJ Preston @ejpreston]

@ZealouslyQuoted @JoshPhillipsPhD Mostly that yep haha, the Catholic Bible includes quite a few more books than Protestant - there’s easy references out there to see the specifics.

When your ideology leads to you a burning hatred of reality, it isn't reality that's the problem.

Jesus Christ loves Hunter Biden.

Contemporary agendas rely on people being ignorant of history and lazy enough to not fact check. Thus those with agendas can often engage in outright blatant lying and still gain traction.

Confirmation bias facilitates all of the above.

[ShadowsOfConstantinople @RomeInTheEast]

What’s with the weird agenda to call Saint George a Turk or Palestinian?

[Business Insider @BusinessInsider]

A software engineer was granted a religious exemption from using AI at work. Legal experts say others may follow now that the Pope has raised concerns about the tech's impact on humanity. https://t.co/Cn2BvGc4xc

[EJ Preston @ejpreston]

The only reason to be truly concerned about this is if you are at the top and worship the almighty GDP - history is kind to those who persevere through a population crash.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Humanity is disappearing 😔 https://t.co/puINn7Vg1P

[EJ Preston @ejpreston]

@JoshPhillipsPhD @elonmusk We should welcome it and persevere on through - history is very kind to those who see themselves through a population crash.

Well lol unless one worships the almighty GDP of course.

[EJ Preston @ejpreston]

@PAHoyeck

[EJ Preston @ejpreston]

@LanceVader @Heminator No….. as you’ve clearly demonstrated you’re just straight up ignorant, and I have no interest in engaging such - regardless of issue or which side either of us falls on said issue.

[EJ Preston @ejpreston]

@LanceVader @Heminator I’ve not even spoken to your agenda and I won’t hear in this context. You’re just gonna keep changing the narrative as you have already in your replies.

You’re aware of the old idiom about assumptions?

[EJ Preston @ejpreston]

@LanceVader @Heminator

[EJ Preston @ejpreston]

@JoshPhillipsPhD Brother, many in our nation have memory-holed entire swaths of our history to justify being able to say we are in the “darkest time” or whatever lately.

I’m beginning to suspect outright educational fraud in secondary schools.

[EJ Preston @ejpreston]

@LanceVader @Heminator Brother I'm not here to validate your agenda - I'm giving you fact based information so you are no longer speaking from a place of ignorance.

Your choice what to do with the learning this afternoon.

[EJ Preston @ejpreston]

@LanceVader @Heminator LMAO you're really missing the point here - medical professionals make the determination as to how much any given soldier benefits.

VA "disability" isn't the same as the common civvie usage of the term "disabled" - again you're speaking from a place of gross ignorance.

[EJ Preston @ejpreston]

@ZealouslyQuoted @JoshPhillipsPhD Depends on denomination etc
