Do you think regular dogs see police dogs and think “oh shit, it’s a cop”
My service dog avoids them b/c their trained to be aggressive and look threatening at all times which means their body language is a warning when non aggressive dogs look at them. If ur dog avoids confrontation like mine, then they will generally avoid police dogs.
I wonder if zombies are all slow, shambling and unsteady, because their autonomous bodily functions have to be managed consciously now? Like an undead version of QWOP.
This is exactly it, headcanon accepted, so mote it be
When people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small, but barely anyone in the present really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small.
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.
Reblogging for Oily Josh. That’s going to be fun.
(also note Yehuda goes to both Judas and Jude – so two yaakovs two yehudas (and like what 11 yehudim? (It’s a ethnonym joke))
(also the modern equivalent of Judas Iscariot would be, like, Muhammed bin ISIS, or Seamus O’PIRA, or Helmut Nazi, or White Power Bob, or something. They’re probably not real names of real people, is my point)
it amuses me to see people being surprised/impressed/amused by this setup, because it’s extremely common on the plains. if you don’t plant a windbreak, your heating and cooling bills are huge, and storms do things like throw the lawnmower through the living room window, take the roof off, or cake the entire north side of the house with six inches of solid ice.
evergreens remain bendy even in the coldest weather, so – wait, no, not the coldest. i remember when i was a kid it got down to like -45 and the norway pines around my house were cracking like gunshots as the sap froze.
maples, incidentally, make that noise around -20f, and i hear it at least once every winter here in southern minnesota. but i only ever heard norway pines make it that one time.
so anyway that’s why we plant pine trees around our houses. because otherwise the wind would freaking kill us.
This is informative and perfectly sensible under the circumstances but I also cannot resist the temptation to compare it to planting stuff all around the boundary of your lot in The Sims
just moving along like everyone else
