Lantern Slides Showing Movie Theater Etiquette And Announcements, Circa 1912.

from the thread

honestly missionaries are evil. the idea of traveling the world to tell people Who Didnt Fucking Ask that their beliefs are wrong in the hopes that theyll adopt your beliefs seems sinister

This is just my conjecture but regarding the Red Crescent isn’t it possible that RC staff just… aren’t able to resist Hamas forcing them to smuggle weapons even if they said no? Considering that I’d imagine RC workers don’t have any combat skills or weapons and Hamas personel are… well yknow., it wouldn’t be surprising if they’re just scared into / forced into doing it

Not saying it’s great but I’m just saying I kinda don’t blame them if they’re forced or pressured, when the people forcing you have insane hyper-extreme beliefs i wouldn’t blame them

so a thing i think people don't always get:

spammers lie.

if you get spam, they are lying. yes, really.

if you get spam from someone claiming they were vetted, the conclusion you should reach is not "ahh, this one is legitimate", it is "oh, the entity vetting them is part of the grift".

i know it sounds horrifying to imagine someone so unthinkably depraved that they would say a false thing on the internet, but i have to say, it's... actually pretty normal.

always remember that fake proof is a central component of scamming people who are careful enough to check, but not careful enough to think about whether the way they're checking is actually meaningful.

Huh, the more ya learn !

I’m just wondering if Judeo Christian would be an accurate term for the two religion’s view on gender conformity. I checked Deuteronomy 22:5 with both the Christian 21st century KJV version and the Jewish Contemporary Torah (2006) version and they both say the same thing.

I’m asking due to recent events and if you don’t want to answer that’s entirely understandable.

Judeo-Christian isn’t an accurate label for anything except people trying to pretend they 1) aren’t Islamophobic and 2) know something about religion. It’s mostly used by supercessionists trying to go “look, it’s not because I’m Christian, the Jews think that too!” while the Jews stand on the sidelines going “…..you think we think what now?”

Incidentally, Judaism has eight genders.

Speaking as a non-religious person, I can confirm.

The past is rarely as we imagine it.

GUYS. DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN WRITE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE FICS ON AO3

Why are you garbage for blocking people without giving them a chance? Was it something political or down right stupid?
