The green Sahara was gone 5 000 years ago when Egypt barely started being Egypt and long before Assyria, the Bronze Age Collapse happened 3 200 years ago, and the Old Testament started getting written a bit before 600 BCE over a few hundred years. The Egyptians and Assyrians already had their breadbasket, it was the fertile crescent from the Nile to the Tigris and Euphrates, it was not a desert there.

The israelite texts survived because they were written right when some big empires (Babylon and the Achaemenids) came around and then carried them over until the Greeks and Romans came by.

He doesn’t do things that are supposed to happen, though. He makes sure not to screw up History as he knows it, except he always comes across a little thing that went wrong in his timeline and had a ripple effect of bad consequences, and he fixes them by doing good and creating a good ripple effect. It’s never suggested that any of those things are “supposed to happen,” just that they did happen in his timeline, and he finds better ways to fix them, without fucking up everything else, and creating a better timeline that is not his original one. The very fact that he risks fucking up big things show that nothing is “supposed to happen.” The opening narration mentions he strives to “put right what once went wrong”, so it’s strongly suggested that, if anything, he’s “meant” to do good, which is his own conclusion as the show goes on, somebody set him on this path to do good.

It’s never suggested that “putting right what once went wrong” means committing a crime that didn’t happen because without this crime, things were supposed to go worse. He fixes bad things by doing good. And, sure, we’re never shown that he needs to make sure a crime happens, but that goes against what’s suggested most of the time - imagine writing a show remotely hinting that maybe some war crimes that happened are justified or else it would have been worse. When he jumps into someone who’s about to do a bad thing, he just doesn’t do it and does good instead, the suggestion is that there’s no “'supposed to.”

The Kennedy episode heavily suggested that he was being influenced by some kind of psychosis from Oswald and he was going crazy himself, unable to stop himself from shooting, and that tracks with other episodes where he was sometimes overwhelmed by traits from his host, rather than having to make sure the crime does happen. He tried to save both Kennedys, and he failed JFK, but he saved Jackie. It’s not suggested that JFK “had” to die, it’s suggested that he “failed” half of it because the host’s influence was too strong.

Is it because they keep breaking shells?

The bull that fathered the Minotaur was not Zeus, it was a gift by Poseidon who expected king Minos to sacrifice the bull to Poseidon. The king kept the gift and sacrificed another bull, Poseidon got pissed and had the king’s wife screw the bull, giving birth to the Minotaur.

You are correct, the bull that sired the Minotaur was not Zeus, and Europe was not the mother. That’s a different bull-queen pair.

That’s okay, it’s only the cost of, what, a couple eggs?

They’re finding issue with mtf athletes playing against a league of individuals who didn’t go through puberty as a male. That’s clearly an advantage, and to say otherwise is to ignore science altogether.

That would be an argument worth discussing if the Nazis weren’t also trying to ban puberty blockers and frothing at the mouth claiming the trans agenda is coming for their kids. But no, right now, that’s a garbage bad faith argument, because it already has an obvious answer. That’s how they poison the discussion.

Bizarro jury nullification, where it’s okay to give life in prison to someone you think is innocent. And the idea probably originated from someone who would tell you that it’s wrong to inform people that jury nullification exists.

The CDU guy who’s about to be chancellor is the classic “economically liberal, anti regulation, blame foreigners for all violence” far right who pretends he’s not far right by taking the head of a party that keeps helping the far right rhetoric, instead of straight up joining the far right party, for some reason. He’s been mad at Merkel for 20 years because she sidelined him in the party because he was too much further right. He’s not Musk, but he’s the guy who keeps making sure Musk and Trump never get shut down.

Surely the lack of opposable thumbs made it difficult to hold a ruler long enough to measure the Earth precisely.

Fuck the judge’s feelings though, “if it really was that important you should have complained harder” is an insane take from the worst kind of bad teacher attitude.

Careful,people who don’t understand the trolley problem are gonna complain again that there are only two options.

What precedent? McConnell already set that in stone. And Gingrich before that.

Ah yes, the pain of all Ancient Egypt Youtube channels these last couple decades. And the TV show Archer.

That’ll be the question: who’s gonna come to grab these judges, and who’s gonna stand in the way and say fuck off. And then who’s gonna drop their pants first, or who’s gonna shoot first…

What you’re pretending to miss is that those in powers are making sure that those people remain “illegal” , on purpose. In the first place, you’re the one creating the situation of them being “in the country illegally”.

The correct solution is to give them papers, not to deport them and treat them like criminals for a situation you put them in. Remember that the “you’re on the table” argument that you claim is reasonable is putting them in prison where you can exploit them harder as slaves, it’s only one step after what’s happening to them already.

Everyone can be illegal if you don’t make anyone legal and then claim they’re only getting punished because they broke the law. There’s nothing reasonable there.

How does the law stack up to a locked door, a bunch of armed goons, and no armed law enforcement on your side? That’s what told off means.

Because he wants everyone else’s data on it so that he can exploit it. He doesn’t care about the data of his own people - he doesn’t even want it recorded.

Hey nice, you found evidence that it’s not a recent trend at all for Democrats to fail elections because they can’t be bothered to even talk about anything left enough. 40 years it is.

No no, that’s the joke
