Longer you make? As in, if you don't just speed through them?

Looks like the vatican flag if vexillologycirclejerk got their hands on it

It was probably to stop the conflict evolving into a nuclear war tbf.

I agree with you. St Patrick's day is basically loved because it was a Holy Day during Lent - meaning people were able to break their fast. For me - a Protestant living in Northern Ireland - it always means a somewhat special Church service. I remember I was in Poland once on Halloween and a bunch of Churches were holding special masses. Halloween is the Eve of All Saint's Day in Western Christianity. Ever since I chose to follow Christianity more, I have always viewed Christmas with the religious aspect, going to carol services, lighting candles at midnight, etc. But same cannot be said about society. St Valentine's day is also Christian in origin, although I've never seen it that way. I guess it's just the effect of a Christian society secularising. I believe a similar thing is actually happening on Eid in countries like Turkiye as well. Also with similar stuff in Japan.

Because he choked?

Samhain most likely didn't have any religious significance. The word likely just means "summer's end" and it wouldn't have fallen on the 31st of October as the Celts used a lunar-solar calendar

The date of Yule was adjusted to coincide with Christmas and Saturnalia was between the 17th and 23rd of December

This is true. Although many shelters disallow drug taking or alcohol

Grew up in an Evangelical Baptist household in the UK. We always regarded Easter is the most important and still do. The reason is because Easter is the resurrection - which was a more important event than the Incarnation. It's like celebrating the beginning of a project vs it's completion

St Patrick's day and Halloween are Christian 😎

 

They are an invasive species and replaced the prettier, native red ones. I think a bounty might cause people to set up indiscriminate traps so wouldn't go there, but I think we should figure out a way to genocide grey squirrels

 

I have a raspberry pi running postfix. I Realised unless I open port 25 I absolutely cannot receive emails (I have 587 open and can send but not receive them). However I heard there are scaries online which someone could potentially send emails from your server without consent. I believe as well my ISP doesn't block port 25. Is there anything I should do right now before opening port 25, or should everything be safe enough?

 

The Chosen is a video series based on the Biblical New Testament. It does like to take a good bit of creative liberty, to make it a good series, such as fleshing out minor characters in the Bible, inventing backstories and personalities for them, many are fully fleshed characters based on some brief description from the Bible.

One of my favourite things they've done was by representing St Matthew The Evangelist - one of Jesus's disciples and author of the Gospel of Matthew - as being autistic. I find him quite a lovable character who I can empathise with at times in the series and I'm really glad for this inclusion 🤣

 

As well as being covered in community posts, ads, and shorts. I think if I looked at Youtube for the first time and it was like this, I'd delete it.

 

I'm not hearing the japanese voices while reading the subtitles, I'm hearing my own voice. Also too busy reading to understand it. Cannot look away either. Voice acting in most dubs is alright.

I think live actions are different, as squid game's dub was rubbish

 

The Irish Tricolour flag represents the country of the Republic of Ireland, 26 counties of the island, which in fact doesn't include the 6 counties that St Patrick mainly operated in. In fact, it can be quite offensive to many people living in the place St Patrick mainly operated in, due to a civil conflict.

St Patrick also has his own flag - a red saltire on a white background - which deliberately represents him.

Making St Patrick's day a festival of Irish Nationalism specific to the Republic of Ireland makes zero sense, and using a flag which only represents part of the island, especially since many Americans are also descended from Ulster Scots in Northern Ireland.

 

"Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C"

"sorry lads, I am just rubbish at Photoshop"

 

Seriously, I'd rather either sit on hold and press buttons instead of trying to explain to an AI several times that I want it to connect me to a real person. I also have a "non standard" accent as well, so the thing probably cannot even understand me.

 
 
 

I keep seeing the same names popping up. I think it's rather cute!
