Perhaps we’d have entirely solar-based calendars with four month-like divisions for the seasons, based on the angle of shadows cast by the Sun (I hear the Mayans had these huge dial things that just counted from 1 to 365) and leap days added onto one season every few years.
And she still loves him anyway despite being A LITERAL SENATOR who strongly advocates liberal democracy, and helped found the Delegation of 2000 (which ultimately led to the Rebellion their daughter would help lead)
Washington State? Aren’t our waters too cold and with the seafloors all barren wastelands except a few kelp forests that somehow exist despite only getting sunlight for 4 months a year?
This is in the Dagestan Republic, which is mostly Muslim. While many of the mostly-Christian Russians are indeed anti-Semitic these days (indeed, in regards to the war in Ukraine I’ve seen some comment on social media about how “it’s DA JOOOOOZ” because Zelensky is a Jew and America has the second-largest Jewish population after Israel), this is a case of religious extremism by people brainwashed by Arab countries’ propaganda, who think all Israelis are evil. To be completely fair though, Ruzzia pretending to care about Palestinians probably didn’t help either.
Yes, and as an American college student who isn’t one of those mindless sheep with one of 2 oversimplistic views on the situation who believe everything they read off social media, are ignorant of what “from river to sea” actually implies because they saw this new meme on tiktok but can’t actually find either “the river” or “the sea” on a map, and seem to prevail on our campuses, I always dread the inevitable mention of the Gaza one at social gatherings because I know I’ll likely end up being called both an “antisemite” and an “apartheid sympathizer” in the same fucking argument for not unquestioningly selling my soul to either Team Israel or Team Palestine. 🙄
That, or they’re college pseudointellectuals who have become so isolated from the world outside their campus and the surrounding neighborhood and are lied to so constantly about how the world works (as it’s an institution where ideas don’t have to be factual or practical in order to keep being taught) that they’ve been brainwashed into thinking those ideas are applicable to every current problem in existence and into always being contrarian and automatically disagreeing with everything the mainstream says.
Our country is so big and heavily populated (and most of our many, many populated areas are overshadowed by a few really touristy places like New York, the Disney parks and Yellowstone National Park and Hawaii which isn’t even that American) and that you’ll rarely encounter someone from a country that uses the 24 hour system. Canada uses the 12-hour clock if I remember correctly from when I last went there, and I think Mexico does since we usually learn their dialect of Spanish in school (but I’m not sure, in all my spanish classes they taught us to say “son las ocho y media en la noche” for 8:30 PM, instead of “veinte y media horas” as I was taught when I studied in Spain for a semester)
I just go to coffee shops. I live in Seattle ffs (though I prefer the smaller and local shops, their food and coffee is more unique and tastes better, and they usually treat their employees way better than starbucks)
Not enough guns, and where are the runways?
