Most historians agree Jesus very likely was a real person. Possibly even an algamation of multiple people.

However, doesn’t make him the son of God or even a holy entity.

Most likely he was a highly charismatic person who had a LOT of grievances with both the church and government, and his message turned into a political movement the Romans tried to quench ala Paul and the re-writings of the text at the time.

We actually have a good chunk of knowledge on Pontius Pilate, who was a real person. A real person who would NEVER wash his hands of executing someone. He was a big fan of it.

Part of the revision was to eject the Romans from the death of Jesus, and blame the Jewish people, in order to make the movement more palatable to the Roman people. Thus, the story of Pilate “washing his hands” of the matter because he thought Jesus was in fact, a righteous man.

Jews didn’t crucify people. They stoned them to death.

Jesus had a lot of criticism of the Roman occupation and was killed by the Romans.

Decades later when mythology started to surround this human, we see the revisions really kick into high gear

Just add a non-steam game to your library. I do that with epic, gog, and even my emulated and modded games. All in one place with just a couple clicks

I don’t think many outside of here do.

Many people here stay in the place they were born. Even when they hate it. It’s hard moving and leaving everything behind. It’s tough moving to a new part of the country without any contacts.

I’ve relocated a few times, there’s always a culture shock. You’d think it would be pretty much the same everywhere due to our saturated commercial culture, but it really is different everywhere. Sometimes just a few hours of separation between places can be two completely different worlds

We’re a nation full of smaller countries, cultures and customs. It’s hard to see that on the outside looking in due to so many of us parroting things online, as well as the media that we distribute throughout the world (movies, tv, music ect)

But it’s a VAST nation of many different ways of life.

Re-read your second and third sentence sentence. That’s why.

Thanks for the essay I’m not gonna read

I’m just returning the attitude you’re giving others.

If you don’t enjoy how it makes you feel, maybe work on how you talk to people.

Cause all you got handed to you was the same energy you were throwing out.

You’re referring to something from the initial release. Which isn’t relevant anymore.

That’s like complaining that Bethesda hasn’t released the Creator’s Kit for Skyrim (since it was a legitimate complaint at one time) and expecting it to be a solid addition to the conversation.

Don’t be a dick just because you’re a decade out of the loop.

I’m not misrepresented anything by pointing out the splitting of hairs.

Why do I care if you think I’m a jerk? You hopped in on a conversation and didn’t add a single thing to it. You just showed up to point out what you think is a character flaw and not comment on the actual subject.

You aren’t impressing anyone. Off with ya

He literally said “I give zero shits about his next game”

No, I’m pointing out how he keeps moving goalposts and is making an argument in bad faith, for reasons that are selfish. When that is pointed out, he tries to act like he doesn’t give a shit.

He’s being a jerk because he doesn’t get to play a game he wants released, and his answer is to slap on some authority.

Who cares if the game is NEVER released? I don’t. He’s made his mark. He can take all the time he needs/wants.

Videogames bring on the most demanding and impatient fans you can find. If he can’t handle pushback (which he can’t, because now he’s expecting apologies for the sin of disagreeing with him), then he isn’t the voice of reason here.

For someone who doesn’t give a shit, you certainly have gone through a lot of trouble to know everything you can about this man.

I’m not gonna apologize to someone who can’t even keep their own narrative consistent.

“I give zero shits about his next game”

“If he keeps this up I’ll never get to play his next game!”

Dude shut up. You aren’t fooling anyone. Concerned Ape can make his stuff however the hell he wants.

A couple nights ago Jeff Jarrett gave me a large freezer sized Ziploc bag full of cocaine in order to help pay my rent.

I opened it up to make sure it was real and sneezed into it, getting all over me and my shirt.

Taste and smell were profound.

Blatantly incorrect. They jumped on the sword to protect a legal precedent concerning emulation.

If the courts had ruled in favor of Nintendo, guess what? That means ALL emulators are on the chopping block. All of them. They knew.

Once you have case history to back you up, it becomes a domino effect.

This has absolutely nothing to do with cowardice.

Been receiving replies for over a year

Which is still neat

Cigarette butts really anger me. It’s a sign of entitlement that I hate. The person knows it’s smelly and disgusting, so they get it as far away from their person or car without a second thought.

I can be judgemental about it because I smoked for over 20 years. I kept a ziplock bag on me (kind of like you would for dog poop when walking your dog) and would keep em in there until I could find a trash can. The ashtray in my car was also used instead of throwing them out the window.

Now that I’ve quit the habit, I notice it even more. It’s awful. My father and mother in law throw their butts on our lawn literally every time they come over, even though they are fully aware that we don’t smoke. When I put a coffee can on the front porch and let them know that’s where they should throw them, they looked at ME like I was the rude one.

Judge em hard. Cigarette smokers have very little space for other people in their world.

I’ve been on it for about a month. All the people I followed on Instagram (that have downloaded threads) automatically were added to my follows. Lots of Sci Fi and movie discussion

Politics, too.

My experience has actually been pretty good. It’s like Twitter but with a lot more leftists stuff

No it doesn’t. Didn’t for me. I lived in a twenty year old Ford explorer for almost a year pursuing mine. Didn’t succeed or make it big, but I wouldn’t have traded it for the world. Not every dream relies on college loans, dude. Not if you’re an artist.

I’d go so far as to say man, many dreams people have don’t require a degree.

And if they do? DO IT ANYWAY. I attended two years of college for film. Never got a career out of it. Still paying off my debt. Still don’t regret ANY of it.

Still getting by on the strings of my butt hairs in my 40s. Still wouldn’t take any of it back.

Never sucked the love for either dream out of it. Did I get depressed? Sure. Did I go through a lot of shit and a lot of disappointment? Definitely. I’m two years out from failing in my latest attempt at pursuing one of my many dreams. You couldn’t pay me all the money in the world to take it back.

You’re speaking to me… about me. About my experiences and telling me how it made me feel. Sorry my dude, I can’t agree with you.

Take those chances. The memories are worth it. The stories are worth it. The lessons you learn along the way are definitely worth it, homie

Counterpoint to all the young people: Never listen to ANYONE who tells you not to follow your passion.

It’s better to try, fail and learn than it is to grow old and wonder what could have been
