source? plus "western wages" is a pretty broad range and doesnt really mean anything without context

Sweep the Leg Johnny - Going Down Swingin' (www.youtube.com)
 

went looking for some post-rock adjacent stuff and stumbled upon this neat noisy/mathy/jazzy mix, vocals can get quite drowned in the mix but they have their charm too nonetheless

mind supplying concrete examples? isnt judaism literally supposed to be the religion of peace in theory? to be clear im not a fan of religion either but im also not a fan of ignoring the real issues and saying "just read their scriptures" on the assumption that what you consider to be obvious signs of this supposed agenda is the universal interpretation

i may be misinterpreting your comment but do you imply religion is what? cuz colonialism is by insurmountable lengths the bigger culprit

Where do demonyms really come from? (beehaw.org)
 

I was pondering differences between endonyms and exonyms, but then I started wondering where demonyms really, originally come from. I imagine it might come from the name of the leader of a group of people, that name becoming associated with that group as a whole and when people start mingling more it becomes a name associated with a whole people and so it dominos on, but if anybody has any good reads regarding it I'd be interested to check it out. I know that demonyms often come from place names but that also begs the question how those places got their names to begin with, or if its more often than not just a matter of "you call that place that hence we will call it that" à la Sahara Desert for example.

Homework homework homework, then managing some flea market economics. Fun stuff (but unironically)

The knowledge that for as much bad stuff we get up to, humans can accomplish truly mindblowing things. I think about it a lot in the context of science/technology and knowing that much of the tech that I use daily and take for granted is tech that people couldn't even dream of just a couple decades ago. Excited to see what the future has in store on that front.
