americans think ABSOLUTELY NOTHIN of driving 7 hours. they’ll drive 7 hours just for dinner. they’ll drive 7 hours just for chips and dip
My friend in the UK told me that they only see their father like 2-3 times a year because they live so far away. When I asked how far do they live, they said that it’s a 45 minute drive……. my commute to work, five days a week is an hour.
jk rowling just sits around her multi million dollar home and thinks “how can i make my series more racist” and just goes out and does it. she’s so brave
To expand on this, Jesus’s name is Anglicized in this way as well. We get Jesus from the Latin form of the Greek “Ἰησοῦς”(Iēsous), which is derived from the Herbrew “ישוע”(Yeshu’a, which meant “YHWH is Salvaion”, YHWH, or Yahweh being the name of God). When another form of that name, ” יְהוֹשֻׁעַ”(Yeoshu’a) was allowed to Anglicize through a different set of corruptions, it entered the English Language through Reformist Protestants as the name “Joshua”.
Yes. Jesus’s actual name is Joshua.
joshua christ this is fascinating
oily josh
Huh
Translation, they were white washed.
They were translated.
My mother works for a Jewish agency, and is always the one to record the ‘we’re closed in observance of’ messages. They close on Christmas because federal holiday and gentile staff, and she always swears she will say they’re closed in observance of ‘Josh’s birthday’.
josh’s birthday
Like … seriously, y’all need to understand, none of these were English-speaking white people names until English-speaking white people started naming their kids after people in the Bible.
This is like wondering why Shakespeare uses all those famous quotes in his plays.
Anakin and
Padmé first time was never described. I think the closest we got from a description of
this:
“In the
end, Anakin knew, the only thing that had saved him was Padmé, and the
single perfect day they spent together after their secret wedding. Her love.
Her patience. Her unquestioning acceptanceof everything the Jedi demanded
that he deny. [Karen Miller’s The Clone Wars: Wild Space]”
Btw, i
said I *think* they first time was awkward. It’s just my opinion 🙂
But Lucas revealed that despite their monastic regime,
Jedi were permitted to have sex.“Jedi
Knights aren’t celibate – the thing that is forbidden is attachments – and
possessive relationships.”
This quote is from a interview George gave to BBC News
in 2002. Here is
the link if you want to read the whole think.
As for
the childbearing part, that’s why I strongly believe they received sexual
education. The Jedi Order allowed sex but they totally against force dynasties.
They did not allowed force-sensitives to create families powerful in the Force
(this is one of the reason why some many of us believe the Skywalkers would’ve been
considered a problem if Anakin hadn’t fallen).
If sex was
allowed but babies were not, one would assume they taught them some preventive
measures.
If they do allow sex, what do you think would happen if a Jedi did wind up pregnant? With Satele Shan’s son, they separated child from mother, but that’s the Old Republic Jedi, not the post-ruusan Jedi.
We have more confirmation that the jedi Council didn’t like
force-sensitives to have families so if we are talking about two jedi having a
babies thing would get complicated. I don’t remember ever reading about such
case during the PT years so it’s hard to tell for sure how thing would work
out.
It’s a silly and groundless headcanon, but I’m pretty convinced that Luke keeps lists—in his head. on his rebellion-issued datapad, just because he’s always done it. He still calms himself down by reciting his daily chores on the farm, meditates by running through preflight checklists.
And since war is essentially crushing and repetitive boredom interspersed with the very urgent fear of dying, the lists get very elaborate:
A list of rumors about the Rebellion, overheard in cantinas on intelligence-gathering missions
A list of non-human species capable of sexual compatibility with humans as described by Han Solo, when very drunk
A list of Captain Commander General Han Solo and Princess Commander General Leia Organa’s top ten fights, according to frequency, duration & volume (compiled by L. Skywalker, with contributions from W. Antilles, L. Calrissian, C. Bacca, and assorted droids)
A list of pilots lost on missions L.Skywalker planned or commanded
A list of times Leia looked at Mon Mothma with thinly-veiled hero worship and then vehemently denied anything of the sort when confronted
A list of lies about Tatooine (as told by L. Skywalker) that Wedge Antilles currently believes are true
A list of previous criminal activities undertaken by Han Solo and Lando Calrissian that may or may not be true
A list of every time L. Skywalker made Leia Organa his sister laugh
An list of every time L. Skywalker has been genuinely happy in the last five years, abridged, because it was longer than he expected.
Bisexual character written by a straight person: Oh! I don’t like labels. I don’t like to pick sides. I just like people. I like to shop at two different grocery stores. I like to eat at Burger King and McDonalds, if you know what I mean. Let’s just say I wear two different socks. I prefer ketchup AND mustard on my hamburgers. I’m just gonna say that I own two different pairs of underwear. I don’t want to be like one of those people, but how about I just say that I like to drink my coffee from two different mugs?
