I have put on that much muscle. I just refuse to buy any kool-aid that’s being sold to me. Maybe they should bring proof instead of spreading trends blindly?

Gym bros misquote this as a gram per pound, which is just a ridiculous amount of protein.

Air Bud is a dog movie on the surface, but has a surpisingly well done underlying story of a boy struggling with the loss of his father.

Did you hear about updoc?

That is abnormal imo. Americans do not generally like “squishy” or “slimy” textures, which eggplant tends to have even when cooked properly. I’ve always thought of eggplants as being more popular among East Asians.

You can use regular dish soap on a cast iron. The big no-nos are soaking for an extended period of time and not hand-drying after washing

That is a much stronger argument, except Israel is hardly ever portrayed as a “hero.” The Bible portrays Israel as a nation that is constantly going astray and making the wrong decisions.

Lol, somebody hasn’t actually read the Bible. You have taken quite a few liberties, just in the first few points.

1. Jesus is never portrayed as “ordinary.” He’s also not born in “ordinary” circumstances because he’s born in a time where the king is slaughtering infants due to a prophecy saying a new king will be born, hence how he ended up in the manger.
2. The wisemen don’t proclaim anything. An angel appears to Mary before Jesus is born and tells her exactly what will happen and what to do.
3. Jesus is a literal baby at this point. He can’t refuse anything
4. Assumptions are of no value compared to facts, or at least something that is actually in a historical text or the actual Bible.
5. This is not what “Crossing the Threshold” would be in the Hero’s Journey. It’s like Luke leaving Tatooine or Frodo leaving the shire. Jesus is the son of God, at least in the context of the New Testament. There is no “threshold.” He’s part of an omniscient being.

and considering that’s almost half of the steps, I don’t think we need to go any further

Who are you trying to apply the Hero’s Journey too? Jesus? Because it doesn’t really fit at all.

Just fyi: MDPI-published research does not have a good reputation.

I tried the same user, and it worked for me just now. Thanks for working on this project!

Just fyi, I tried one your instance. Searched a user, clicked a result, and got an error.

This is how I feel about it. I remember loving it when it was first airing. I did a rewatch a couple years back and couldn’t stand it. Can’t say I like a single character outside of Andy.

Correct me if this is naive, but wouldn’t this potentially also reduce the diversity of the gene pool?

You can divide culture and grammar. It’s simple: your hypothetical long exchange can trchnically be expressed in the Japanese language at 1/5 the length and still retain grammatical correctness and meaning. i.e. the long exchange is not a result of the technical aspects of language, i.e. it has nothing to do with pronoun ommission. The cultural aspect of language is what makes the conversation long. And you’re making a huge assumption about the context of the exchange. Is it between two strangers? Family members? Sibling? Friends? A king and a peasant? Classmates? All of these situations would have exchanges with different lengths and grammar, but this arises from the culture. We do the same thing in English too. On average, an email between a boss and an employee will probably be longer and more formal than between two friends, no? Not as long as an equivalent email in Japanese, but the same trend exists in both languages is my point.

“Politness ping pong” has a lot less to do with the technical aspects of Japanese and more to co with cultural norms. i.e. it’s not a design flaw in the grammar.
