The Man that makes Elves hear boss music.

Where’s the kaboom?

I view it as slightly better than that interpretation. The Old Testament is what links the three. The interesting thing about the Old Testament is that it was written over a few thousand years starting around the time of two major historical events that could have precipitated what would look like a potential “apocalypse,” to anyone at the time.

The Green Sahara period had just come to an end, denying Egypt what I would imagine was a substantial breadbasket for the Egyptian, and possibly Assyrian Empires. That event may not have directly caused The Bronze age collapse, but they happened quickly enough together, that I would imagine it was a factor.

So in a period of a few hundred years, a savannah that had plentiful game and foraging turned into the largest desert in the world. The Levant went from a seemingly temperate mediterranian climate, aka “the promised land,” to a desert mediterranian climate. All the empires that you know of just collapsed in a period of 150 years. You might just get a bit superstitious, and borrow some ancient creation myths to write down the “history” of your people.

Lots of cultures did this. We know from archeological evidence that the Israelites weren’t ever in Egypt, so everything up to, and including Moses, was made up to try to teach their descendants how to live in this new horrible dying world. It’s just absolute random chance that the Israelite texts survived long enough to spawn the other two belief systems.

Interesting. That’s almost the opposite of Baha’is. Baha’is don’t proselytize because everyone is a Baha’i. They just haven’t discovered it for themselves yet, and they have to do that, it’s not the job of the Baha’is to do anything but live the best way they can. Their “Kingdom of God,” or afterlife is also distinctly different from the concept of Heaven and Hell as well.

No, but Redneck Rampage was also a popular game for the Ti-82

TI-82 here. Thank fuck that I got out of HS in '96. The administration hadn’t caught on that we had Drug Wars, and a really shitty MechWarrior game floating around the school.

Oh then that would be a few thousand dollars cheaper.

If you have an internal combustion engine car that is currently not running due to engine and or transmission issues, but nothing to repair regarding the body, suspension, brakes, etc. There are a couple of companies in LA that do EV conversions, complete with manual transmission mimicking, for about $30,000.

I held off the dragons till I did everything else because I got so annoyed with them killing townspeople in Skyrim.

Morrowind taught me to take over some asshole dark elf’s house in Seyda Neen, and powelevel all my skills to 100 before I left the first town so that a random cliff racer, or kwarma forager didn’t take out me and any random NPC around me.

Oblivion, beeline to Anvil, buy the house, and again just max out all my skills. Mostly so that the random encounters didn’t kill me. I don’t remember having issues keeping NPCs alive in that one.

I’m entirely uncertain that any of us normal non magicka wielding randos would survive long in any of the most interesting times of mundus.

I’m not certain if I’d be more fucked in Factorio, The Elder Scrolls, Terraria, or Stardew Valley. I’d be fucked either way though since I assume I’d be a rando off screen, and not the main character

Nobody eats a pizza crust first.

You would be surprised. I have met such people. In specific circumstances, such as stuffed crust, I will occasionally eat pizza crust first.

I say this as an education major, and former teacher. That being said, please keep fighting your PTA on this.

We didn’t get actually useful information in high school, partially because our parents didn’t think there was anything wrong with the curriculum.

I’m absolutely certain that there are multiple subjects that you may have skipped out on, if you’d had any idea that civics, shop, home economics, and maybe accounting were going to be the closest classes to “real world skills that all non collegate educated people still need to know.”

Die Motherfucker! Die Motherfucker

You need a fiduciary. Mine handles things like this, and gives me a yearly update on what I’m invested in. The two investment strategies I have her employing are primarily investments that help transition society to an ebviromentally sustainable model, and businesses that will have to clean up disasters waiting to happen.

Eaten by a Yeti

There’s one strap around his neck, and I would assume at least one or two more that are fastened behind his forelegs, and around his ribcage. The bun stays flat when the dog squats, creating an unintentional awning for the poo and pee.

^ this is all conjecture on my part, but that is how I would design the thing. It’s basically a dog harness with poofy bits added to it and stuffed with batting.

TIL Will Ferrell was trying to look like the lead singer of Prodigy, with his character in Zoolander.

I heard a rumor a year or so ago, that he might come back to do some passion projects, now that the kids are grown.
