A friendly reminder that Judo-Christianity is not a thing.
You’re talking about Christianity, leave Judaism out of it.
I get that it was a typo but Judo Christianity would probably get a LOT of the gentiles away from Kabbalah. Judo is far more practical a thing to learnm
thanks for drawing my attention to the typo but also – great idea!
it’s so awkward when you accidentally use an expression that’s kind of an inside joke in your family with people who don’t know it…
like I just told my friends “my dad was cut by the Nazi yesterday” and it took me a moment to realize why they looked so horrified…
I get that the context of this scene is serious but also, just imagine, being part of a species which includes members that can become something like a tank or a spaceship, and you being able to turn into a laser pointer.
But, hey, at least there’ll be one excellent advantage to that:
Someone: Oh no! Ravage’s here! We need to distract him somehow! What do we do? Shimmerstick, flipping on shades: My time has come
I think my favorite discrepancy between the Rogue One promo material and the actual film is that the promos make it look like this was a very carefully put together team and in reality it’s a bunch of people that Cassian Andor more or less kidnapped.
I started Hebrew, which is why I’ve been dead on this blog, but I don’t think I can ever properly convey to you guys the sheer cultural whiplash of spending years learning Japanese from Japanese teachers and then trying to learn Hebrew from an Israeli
Japanese: you walk into class already apologizing for being alive Hebrew: you walk into class, the teacher insults you and you are expected to insult her back
Japanese: conjugates every single verb based on degree of intended politeness, nevermind keigo and honorifics Hebrew: Someone asked my teacher how to say “excuse me” and she laughed for several seconds before saying we shouldn’t worry about remembering that since we’ll never need to say it
Japanese: if you get one stroke wrong the entire kanji is incomprehensible Hebrew: cursive? script? fuck it do whatever you want, you don’t even have to write the vowels out unless you feel like it
Japanese: the closest thing there is to ‘bastard’ is an excessively direct ‘you’ pronoun Hebrew: ‘bitch’ translates directly
Fun fact: Israel has possibly the lowest power-distance metric of any culture in the world, while Japan has one of the highest. I didn’t realize that the CTO of my company was the CTO until somebody else told me, because everybody called him by his first name and engaged in mutual shit-talking/playful insults with him.
In Japan, even calling your boss by the wrong honorific is liable to get you in trouble.
And apparently there’s some sciencey cooperative venture going on between Israel and Japan in an official diplomatic capacity. I want to be a fly on the wall when Japanese and Israeli scientists work together.
Ratchet: I’m 80% exhaustion, 10% sarcasm, 20% don’t care.
Optimus: That’s 110%.
Ratchet: 20% of me doesn’t care.
look how concerned he looks about possibly sending Miko and Jack to their death…😂😂😂
Born before 1980: You’re gen x, why are you even worrying about this. Maybe go do some gen x things like writing articles about how much us millennials suck.
Born in the 80s or early to mid 90s: millennial
Born between like 1996 and 2000: This is the no man’s land. No one knows which generation you are from. Both will welcome you as one of their own, however.
Born in the 2000s: Gen Z
Born in the 2010s: dude you’re like 5 what are you doing on this site? people say bad words on here please leave.
