Not the correct telling of the story but still a better one than the Ovid version.

I encourage you to read my response on the clarification of the original Medusa myth. As to where the story of the sisters came from, I don't recall Hesiod ever talking about where they actually came from other than the fact that they were Medusa's sisters. Presumably, they should've stayed human. But I guess Athena cursed them too or something.

So, this is the Ovid telling of the story, not the original Hesiod version. For context, Ovid was a Roman writer, not a Greek writer, who lived several hundred years after Hesiod, the original writer of Medusa's story. Thus, the Ovid version of the story should actually use the Roman gods. Your story is that Neptune (Roman equivalent to Poseidon) raped Medusa and Minerva (Roman equivalent to Athena) punished Medusa for this instead of punishing Neptune.

It's important to contextualize this story, as Ovid was a writer who had problems with authority and was exiled from the Roman Empire. His mythological poetry is generally understood as a form of political critique towards authority figures, represented by the gods. That's why in a lot of Ovid's retelling of pre-existing myths (such as this one) the Gods are depicted as being massive assholes towards mortals, often including elements of rape that weren't previously there.

The correct version, the Hesiod tale, is that Medusa was a follower of Athena and as part of her vows to the goddess was to remain a virgin. She was so beautiful that Poseidon seduced her and she had willing relations with him inside the temple of Athena. As such, Athena punished her not only for breaking her vows but also for directly insulting Athena by having relations in the temple.

Yes. They teach it to go from point A to point B then perform X action. It's no different from the yellow assembly arm robots you see welding cars together or tightening bolts. It's just "Start here, go there, do this, return to start, repeat"

Except that there are several Jews on his list that he does not say "dual citizenship with Israel" for. Meaning, there is a distinction that he is making. I don't think he just forgot to say "dual citizenship with Israel" for a several of them.

He's always been a severe alcoholic that suffers with depression. He's been both edgy and thought provoking his entire career. Listen to his music (not the cringey meme music), where he questions things like Consumerism (The Lives of Flies). Or the one where he questions the instinctive feeling to form relationships and breed (The Lies of Love). One of my favorites, "There Isn't Any God," is an introspective about how he personally wishes he could believe in God just for peace of mind.

In the series I think he said the blade ended up weighing 30 or 40 pounds. You could get through a few thousand necks before needing to change it. At the end of the day, it's 6 bolts. No big deal. What situation are you going to be in where you need your guillotine blade to be swapped in 2 minutes instead of 5?

Try to own property without paying property tax. Try to run a business out of that property without paying B&O tax. Stop LARPing like "Oh just don't pay taxes it's soooo easy, you'd have to be a MORON to pay taxes."
They'll come to your place with their heavily militarized goonsquad pigs, throw your ass on the street, and take your shit. The only way to avoid this is for your shit to be worth less money than the effort it would take for them to take it.

Not sure it's a fair comparison when our money is stolen from us unwillingly.

Not sure whether to compare you to a nigger or a pajeet but the thing that's for sure: you've got a tiny dick.

Things with no risk aren't thrilling, therefore, they're not fun. Even something as mundane as fishing risks not getting a bite or the fish getting away. The more risk something is, the more fun it is. Some people have higher or lower tolerance to risk vs reward factors.

>Industrial strength vinegar
Could you have said that any stupider than you did? It's acetic acid. That is the acid component in vinegar. You are welcome.

I don't think Jews know that the Romans massacred the Jews on 3 different occasions and after the 3rd one they were so fucking sick of Jewish tricks, they destroyed Judea, renamed it Palestina, and gifted it to the Muslims that swore loyalty to the Roman emperor Hadrian.

Honestly, it could be the vax or she could've just died from starvation. Kpop idols are forced to basically starve themselves in order to maintain an attractive weight. There's a really strict height/weight ratio that the producers force upon them.

They all look the same because in Korea it's expected for basically every person to undergo massive amounts of facial reconstruction surgery to change the way they look. It's the leading country in plastic surgery, performing over 50% of the world's plastic surgery.

Notice the screams are all women. Someone needs to tell the bitches to shut the fuck up. Especially after the incident was already over.

Use peanut oil and it's not even unhealthy. It's just a lot of added fat.

The tenderloin is a cut of meat. All animals have one.

Dude, that's why there isn't one. He couldn't legally get his hands on a fully semi-automatic AR-15 capable of spraying 6 gorrilian bullets per second.

The left lane isn't and never has been the "fast lane" - this is a misconception. The left lane is supposed to be the PASSING LANE. Where you enter the lane to pass cars traveling slower than you, then return to the right lane. Instead, morons just stay in the left lane all the time.
It works, most of the time. I can understand if you're in a metro area with a shit load of on ramps it would get crowded. But when you're just traveling normally it's fine when used properly.

Actually in the last example, people merging DO have the right of way in most of the USA. If you don't allow someone to merge onto a highway, it's your fault when they side swipe you.

Additionally, coming from my grandfather (trucker of 42 years) and my own father (trucker for 8 years), when you're pulling a 100 ton load, you turn your signal on, count to 4, then start merging anyways and people will get the fuck out of the way.

Because the government protects them. It doesn't matter if a woman hits you first. If there are no witnesses or evidence, you lose the court case every time. It doesn't matter if the woman's hands are coated in your blood the court sees one black eye and it was the man's fault because of course. Most police recommend to men suffering from domestic abuse to go into their front yards where other people can see the woman beat their ass so that they can get witnesses.

If courts didn't protect women, men would smack them one time in retaliation and it would never happen again.

Developer 1 is a meme about some schizo devs so I'll ignore that one.
Developer 4 is a corrupt shit head, enough said.
Developer 2's problem is that the modern day push for graphics and high sound quality means filling games with uncompressed audio and 4k textures that drive game size through the roof. But he also has the same issue as Developer 3 on top of that.
Developer 3 doesn't know how to code efficiently. Actually, he doesn't know how to code at all. He uses a framework built by someone else designed to make game design easier which actually just fills all the code and programming with unnecessary bloat. It's like if you wanted to do 100+100 but instead of doing that you did 1+1 200 times.

Wtf are you talking about? How many people do you think are going to be capable of affording a single income household with multiple children and also having enough disposable income to keep the woman from leaving?
Wtf do women have to do with the matter? They aren't going to stay with broke guys, women don't work that way.

>It's about a beautiful girl living in the hills among the flowers.

Are you fucking retarded? It's about a flower. Erika IS the flower. There is no girl.
