Aah okay, that makes sense. Paulogia does however put forward at least one more person having an experience, possibly due to a grief hallucination. If I remember correctly he suggested Peter being the one to have it.
I also don’t remember him ever suggesting that the empty tomb is an actual fact in need of explanation. I think he sees it as likely that Jesus would have been unceremoniously put in a mass- or ditch grave as was common for crucifixion victims. The tomb would then be a detail added on later by other christians, likely through narrative evolution.
I may misremember some of it though, so maybe I should go back and rewatch as well.

Oh nice! :D

I think it is more likely that they refer to the minimum witnesses argument put firth by a youtuber Paulogia. He has done a lot to popularize it as a response to the criticism that sceptics have no singular explanation for the proposed evidence of Jesus provided by the spread of christianity and the accounts of early cristians.

As a Dane I’d guess they didn’t realize Americans use it as a greating and so assumed you to be initiating a conversation unrelated to ordering, possibly with bad intentions.

It would be a little like starting the conversation with a “how is your mother”, it would signal way more familiarity than was had, come way out of left field and be generally unwanted when you are working if you don’t have time to stop for the conversation that would ensue.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think you did anything wrong necessarily, it’s just a cultural difference that likely causes misunderstandings if none of the parties are aware of it. I’d liken it to a Eurpean going to a restaurant in the US, not tipping anything and how both parties may feel the other party to be rude after the fact if the server let their dissatisfaction show.

I could of course be wrong and they may just have been an ass, plenty of those in tourist heavy areas for sure. Just something to consider if it could have been the case.

This is cult behaviour… always attack never even try to defend the horrible things your side does because it’s indefensible.

It is quite ironic of you to say this in a comment chain in which you came in, immediately attacking and attributing malicious intent to the other commenter, all the while insinuating that Israel does nothing wrong and only Hamas is to blame for the horrors happening. Of the two of it seemed to me like you were the one engaging more in this behavior.

The Unison language is one I keep an eye on

Should every country just surrender to aggressors, only those that require aid to defend themselves or some other criteria? This seems like a call for any small state to just give up when a conqueror is at their door ready to oppress them, is that what you believe?

Mine would be Thrive, not so much due to its current gameplay, though it is okay, but moreso due to an unwavering commitment to a vision. It has gone on for years and is essentially a scientifically close to accurate version of spore. They have almost finished the single cell stage and are working some on the transition to multicellular now as I understand it. I find it to be an impressive project as it started from the disappointment with spore and has evolved into something that I would genuinely suggest as a learning tool in middle school biology class.

I had a hope for that link and I was not disappointed

Did you understand the person you respond to as saying its inefficient because the sun shines in other directions than the array proposed?
I’m pretty sure the person talked specifically about the beam from the array to earth being inefficient.

I’d say a school that just throws facts at the students is doing it wrong. A large part of learning is to discover connections and be able to extrapolate from principles to aquire new knowledge on their own with the tools and methods taught.

That however also disregards the very different contexts between school and some rando throwing facts at you. People go to school specifically to learn, therefore will be more open to it. Some random person throwing facts is just annoying and if you question the validity of the facts they will not get through. A common thing with people in cults is tht throwing facts at them will usually just go deeper into the cult because of the emotional aspects of it rather than cet out due to the logic.

I’ll add The Exploring Series as well, they have more long form videos and cover other subjects as well as SCP content. Both have great voices and I’ve fallen asleep to both before.

Sure! I’m not a native speaker either, so some suggestions may not be all that good.

The first one I noticed is in the first paragraph. I’m unsure if it’s a mistake or an obscure word, but when googling the word “pacrossct” I got no related results.

In the second paragraph both the word centuries and thousands of years are used. I’d suggest replacing thousands of years with millennia to keep it consistent. That may be a personal preference however.

The phrase:

But over time, the thought that everyone, sooner or later, would become just a pile of ashes enclosed in an urn in the ground, became a cause of anxiety and bitterness for him.

This is a long sentence with a lot going on. It’s a bit difficult to parse the meaning of it and I think it would be beneficial to split it up a bit. Something like the following perhaps:

But over time he came to ponder how everyone, sooner or later, would end up as just a pile of ashes enclosed in an urn in the ground. This became a cause of growing anxiety and bitterness for him.

I tried to stay true to your phrasing except where it would cause repetition due to my changes or I felt it would otherwise lack an emphasis that the original had.

I think these were mostly what I noticed, though some of the parentheses also seemed a bit out of place to me.

Again I just want to reiterate that I really liked your story and this is just minor details. I hope I do not come off as overly nitpicky or negative.

I think it was mainly those two word choices that I noticed, as I got

I enjoyed reading this. I found some hiccups and odd choice of words or format but overall i found it to be well written and well paced. A proper decent into madness story, framed nicely as a legend of old.
