Must be weird thinking emperor palpatine was the good guy

No. They don't.
They have co-opted something they are too dumb and lazy to even understand.
Any other questions?

Setting tariffs without accompanying trade negotiations is like starting a fight with someone by shooting yourself, unless of course the goal is xenophobia and isolationism instead of equitable trade.

More specifically with his own sword after getting knocked out by a rock, but yes.

If they read it, they would call the main character in part II "woke" and dismiss him as a "liberal."

And he wasn't even especially woke.

They can only read at a 5th grade level. If stop signs didn't have a shape and color there would be mass casualties

They're not even trying anymore

Because they don't even have to

Fun fact: Humans are also susceptible to rocks.

I think Goliath was a "giant" in the same sense that an NBA player is a giant. Not like a mythical species in the Bible, just a genetic anomaly family that was crazy big and strong. Meanwhile, the average height was back then was much shorter than it is now.

So think of a fairly average but smallish guy beating up Shaq and I think that's what we are supposed to envision.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

I don't know about that. Have you seen David!? He's 20 ft tall and made of pure marble! Just imagine what Goliath looked like!!

No. No, they do not.

This moron can't even decide if his name is Jack or John.

[–] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They speculate that Goliath was one of the last of the Nephilim, hybrid descendants of fallen angels, so I guess this would explain a lot.

They do not.

[–] sircac@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

Oh, the irony...

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Goliath was killed by a sword - the rock knocked him down so that David could behead him.
