Latin

loni-meow:

I have an idea

Octy tries to teach Jed a little bit of latin.

But Jed is just like “What the hell is wrong with this language?!??” and is confused.

Because latin is complicated (really complicated, but my advice is: if you learn the grammar it’s easier. )

But Jed doesn’t give up because he wants Octy to be proud of him

And Octy says to him “You don’t have to learn it if you don’t want to”

But Jed still tries to learn it because everytime when he understands something Octy is really happy and he loves to see him happy.

And suddenly he fall in love with this language and really loves it

And Octy is like “awww he likes it”
Then he just hugs Jedediah an whispers “te amo*” in Jeds ear.
But Octy thinks Jed doesn’t know what he said

But Jed knows it and he blushes.
Then he whispers “etiam te amo*”

* Te amo= I love you
*Etiam te amo= I love you too

The story of Superman and Moses are actually very similar. Both were sent away in a capsule, as their family was about to be killed, and were adopted into another family. After reaching adulthood, they used their special powers to benefit those around them

Yeah it’s almost as though Superman’s creators were Jewish and that was an intentional parallel.

The superman and Jesus parallel was probably more intentional.

But the parallel Moses and Jesus is also intentional for another reason.

no, i promise you it wasn’t. the creators of superman were Jewish they were not referencing Jesus at all. Superman’s name is literally Ka-El. It’s Hebrew. There are multiple books about Superman’s Jewish origins. (Up, Up, and Oy Vey; Superman is Jewish?; and Mensch of Steel. It’s also covered in the book Superman: The High-Flying History of America’s Most Enduring Hero). It’s been suggested that Siegel and Shuster would have almost certainly been familiar with (also Jewish!) strongman Zishe Breitbart, who was billed as the “Superman of the Ages.”

no one was paralleling jesus in the creation of Superman. 

other people superman was based off of/inspired by:

  • creator Jerry Siegel, who posed for some of the early designs (and was obviously Jewish)
  • his father, Mitchell (still Jewish) who died after an armed robbery
  • Stanley Weiss, who was Jewish, and posed for the design updates in 1945. below is a picture of his son, holding one of those sketches:

Siegel and Shuster were not paralleling Jesus. 

“Superman and Jesus parallel”

Hey, Christians: NOT EVERY PURE OF HEART PERSON IS JESUS.

I love love love the “fuck capitalism make your own cheaper high quality food” posts that teach you to make things like homemade bread or cheese or butter or such

BUT they seem to miss out on a very important detail that I feel like they’re not taking into account when talking of these cheaper alternatives. 

THE LUXURY OF TIME. 

A lot of people who are hovering closer to the poverty line or are simply not rich do not have the luxury of time to make their own fresh food no matter how much cheaper it might be. 

Maybe it’d be a nice Sunday project to try out, but the truth is that capitalism is a self-sustaining monster and will make itself necessary to you as a person by taking away your time forcing you to earn money and then give you cheap enough alternatives to feed you when you have no time to feed yourself. 

It’s certainly not BAD to learn these skills. It’s great and I love them. But they’re not particularly sustainable unless you have all the time in the world to spare.

This is an excellent point.
