One thing no one mentioned yet.

Christianity really spread once it became Rome's state religion, and Islam was always about expanding.

Once the Jews got kicked out of their homeland they were stateless people. Pretty hard to go against local religion when you're a guest with no army.

It's for parents with a new baby. Condoms would be quite early for the later and much too late for the former.

I just noped out of a book called "Exquisite Corpse" by Poppy Z. Brite. It's torture porn with necrophilia and sadism by the ton. It's actually well written, but I just got sick of it.

First school book I ever noped out of.

I saw it as a play, and it was amazing. Never understood why English teachers have students read plays. The whole point of a play is to have it performed. It's like trying to teach swimming in an empty pool.

LPT. If you know any new parents, one of the best gifts is a world map for the baby's room. Teach them colors and shapes when they are little; then numbers and letters; finally history and politics.

Trump did a genocide on the Kurds, but apparently that's okay

It's called old people.

Old people will talk to strangers any time and any place.

Ask them a question and they'll give you an answer.

Tell them you feel socially awkward and they'll tell you what you're doing right or wrong.

Think about it; they spend decades without devices. The only thing they ahd to amuse themselves was each other.

Go talk to some old people.

From Occupied Paris during WW2. "It's not the one big Hitler in Berlin that makes life unbearable, it's the million little Hilters all over Paris."

I liked Quantumania. Sometimes you just want something fun and it delivered.
