TIL: Skip, Trip, and Chip aren't short for anything. They're meta-nicknames based on who you're named after. I know i took way too long to figure that out. This was mostly inspire by the engineer on the nx-01 enterprise #StarTrek

Quora sends me some of the most basic questions about judaism asked by gentiles. Some of which assume that jews have an anti-christian/jesus sentiment that jews generally don't have. It feels like the asters have been living under a rock and told that jews hate them.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

I get messages from quora about popular (i guess) questions, and its always questions a Christian is asking about judaism that are suspiciously rudimentary or malicious in a veiled way. Veiled by feigned ignorance. You know it's feigned by the fact that they knew enough to ask the question. Does...

This sort of implies that there are only herbivores and top carnivores. There are animals in the middle of the food chain, middle carnivores/omnivores that fight back against an apex predator without having to justify that they also kill to eat.

I can often eat a balanced meal large enough to make most people full and still be quite hungry afterwards. Does this happen to anyone else? Sometime I don't want to just eat more of that balance meal, assuming there are leftovers at all. I imagine there could be 6 kg bag of human food like...

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

In The Last Jedi, Kylo Ren embarrasses himself twice in front of a squad of troops. Once when he orders enough firepower to level a city to be turned on one man while yelling like a madman. Second he fights the image of a Luke for way too long before realizing it's an image while not landing a ...

... lose faith in him. The soldiers fight with less conviction because they don't believe in their leader. Some of the admirals take their fleet and break off from the first order, vying to take leadership of it for themselves. Infighting hinders the inner workings of the Order. All this leads to...

... a weakening of the first order to a point where the resistance might actually stand a chance. Psychological factors are a very real part of warfare. I am still upset that this avenue of story telling was completely ignored in Rise of Skywalker.

... single blow. He looks like a total amateur being schooled by an old man. So that's really 3 times. There was a plot point to be had in the next movie where the story of Kylo's embarrassment is told by the squad that was there to other and to others until the admirals and generals under Kylo...

Charges against Trump are being dropped or him being given no sentence when found guilty, doesn't this show the USA considers the President above the law. How can it have any self respect after that. Might as well be a monarchy.
