My guess is: some stuff about the movie, maybe a teaser or trailer. Some stuff about the OoT remake. Hopefully an announcement of Twilight Princess dropping for NSO. A couple other small Zelda things here and there, maybe some merch or amiibo or something like that. And maybe - just maybe - an announcement of "the next Legend of Zelda is in development for Switch 2."

Link

He come to town

Come to save

The princess Zelda

Ganon took her away, now the children don't play

But they will, when Link saves the day

HALLELUJAH

Now Link

Fill up your hearts

So you can shoot

Your sword with power

And when you're feeling all down, the fairy will come around

So you'll be brave, and not a sissy coward

Now Link

Has saved the day

Put Ganon is his grave

So now Zelda is free, and now a hero shall be

Link

I think your name shall go down into history!

The pay gap between men and women exists in every professional sport and is a separate problem, although I can see your point about how it could influence decision making.

This article also touches on the sexualization of female athletes in general, but at no point is the claim made that women who wear more revealing outfits are given better sponsorships nor is there any testimony from any athlete to back that up or to say they ever made those choices for that reason.

Not very far 💀 maybe like 30%

I've finished the main quest twice before, gotten all the shrines and the big stuff. But now with Zelda Notes it's going to be much easier to track all those dang koroks.

The app has helped gamify the game, if that makes sense.

I agree that she would have been fine. And I certainly voted for her because she wasn't Trump. But she did poorly in the primaries leading up to 2020, she did not distance herself enough from Biden, she isn't the strongest speaker or communicator. I stand by saying that she wasn't a good candidate and that's why she lost to Trump where many other Democrats could have won.

In her defense I don't blame her for it. She was unfairly put into a shitty situation. I blame Biden and the DNC way more, but it is what it is.

I read all the articles. That lack of choice in handball and other sports should be addressed, and I hope it is soon. But in Olympic beach volleyball athletes have the choice and many choose to wear bikinis.

I've never heard of a female athlete saying anything like "I feel pressured to choose more revealing uniforms because of sponsorships or cultural expectations from males." If you have, I'd love to see it. I have seen a bunch say that they prefer them, given the choice.

There are not going to be any primary sources of Jesus or any other average person who lived thousands of years ago.

Do you think it's more likely that early Christian writers fabricated a totally fictional person rather than mythologizing one that people already knew existed?

No we don't have any historical sources or archeological evidence. But why would we expect to have them? He was just an average, albeit radical, Jewish preacher who got himself in trouble with the authorities and only much later did he become significant.

I look at it using Occam's Razor: is it more likely that early Christian writers mythologized a real person after the fact, or that they made one up whole cloth? I go with the former.

And why not? We know for a fact that singular people have started all kinds of movements and religions throughout history. And when you strip away the fantastical elements of the story, it's really not unbelievable. A preacher is teaching radical things, enough that he gets in trouble with Jewish and/or Roman authorities and is eventually executed for it. His followers take his message, filter it, and spread it, and it catches on.

For what it's worth I'm an atheist as well.

To your first point, no one is free of bias, but it's not the Middle Ages dude. People are free to not be Christian or to criticize or contradict Christianity, and they do all the time. Even non-Christian historians agree that Jesus likely existed.

Between the canonical and apocryphal gospels there are a good amount of people who wrote about Jesus for decades after his death. In my personal opinion as an armchair historian it just seems more likely that early Christian writers, intentionally or not, mythologized a real person that people already knew existed rather than invented one whole cloth.

I'm not sure what you're looking for. If it's some kind of scientific paper on the effectiveness of different types of clothing on volleyball performance, you're not gonna find that.

You said you were skeptical of two pieces being better for performance than other clothing. I gave you, from a two minute internet search, a half dozen high-level female volleyball players who have all said they prefer to play in two pieces because of comfort and performance. Comfort itself is an advantage. Do you think that they're wrong?
