Historians regularly point out that Scipio's victory over Hannibal was a little bit too poetic in nature, as if designed to fit into a wider cultural narrative.

Not to say there never was a Scipio Africanus or anything, but what we know about him and Hannibal is heavily skewed by what the Romans thought was narratively fullfilling.

Well tbh i probably have heard of them before at some point but when you search up "where to buy a new pc canada" it's tough to tell whats legit or not.

My last pc was made by a local place that went out of business and I never really upgraded it or anything after that.

Its always disappointing when a company tries to do something different, fails, and then is forced to go back to what made them successful and never branches out again. There was so much hope for a superman or justice league game from these guys but I'm doubtful they're going to do anything other than batman for the next decade after how badly squad failed.

That's an interesting take, but if it's a metaphor then it's a broken one. Eve never had to lose anything, she's whole and ergo, metaphorically, women wouldn't feel the longing and need for companionship or whatever it is thats meant to be symbolized. If the torah is making a metaphor, then a better interpretation of the text might be that woman is created to be an object of man's desire.

Ironically, the original story of Adam and Lilith being one, conjoined entity that is later split into two by god actually functions much better as a metaphor for human need to find love and companionship, but thats not the story that gets cannonized.

Well, he doesn't really "need" anything... Because omnipotence. He could have just made them long for each other. He could have just made Lilith less independent. Or he could have just made Adam not terrified of the second, unnamed wife... The whole thing really starts to break down the more you think about it :/

Which is kind of a weird requirement when you just made the universe from scratch last week. Like why do we need crafting materials now?

Honestly.... Ya, literally any extra steps in signing up or slight bit of confusion is enough to make the average person give up and go back to whatever platform they are comfortable with. I've talked to people who dispise twitter but won't even switch to Bluesky because the extra dot in the user handle is too weird for them.

I learned today that Singapore has mandatory military service and a majority English speaking population... So there's a chance
