  • There are phrases using Trinitarian words, but the doctrine was not established until later, which is why so many early Christians didn’t believe it and it was the Church’s first major schism.

    I’ll take your word on Joseph and legal lineage passing through dead first husbands.

    And thank you for the correction on birth place, I’ve poked about and it seems quite clear.

    I hope and biblical scholarship continues and we get more accurate translated off of ever older texts I, and everyone else, can keep up with where scholarship is at.
















  • In contrast, bulbasaur is weak to all the birds and bugs that are so common in the early game.

    To make it more difficult, Bulbasaur is the only one of the three starters to not learn a STAB move as their first move after the debuff at 5.

    Squirtle gets bubble, ember for Charmander. Leech seed for Bulbasaur. And while leech seed has uses late game when you’re tanky, it is mostly useless against wild pokémon.

    That is to say, both Charmander and Bulbasaur have a lot of trouble early game until you get a diverse team. But Squirtle will just stomp through it all (especially in original Gen1 when Special was imba, combined with its natural high defence state).




  • That’s the UN data for Hong Kong, but it was easy enough to find the page for the PRC, excluding Hong Kong and Macao. The figures still line up well enough (noting, as the other page does that it exclude statistics about people interred in the “vocational training schools”), although the UN doesn’t have figures post 2016.

    UN page doesn’t seem to have execution rates either, which would also impact incarceration rates.

    Not to say that the US isn’t atrocious and also terrible on all those metrics, and plumbing new lows with each successive presidency. I was just kinda hoping for some more official PRC reported figures.
