It's also been mentioned in other parts of this thread, but the holy foreskin has been considered an important relic, and there are accounts of many kings like Charlemagne having owned it.

Then I guess this makes you an Arian heretic. /s

Does Jesus have a gender tho? As stated above, Jesus has a fully human body and nature (or else you are deemed a heretic by the council of Chalcedon). He is described as a man and several churches and rulers have historically claimed to hold a piece of his foreskin, so he must've had a penis. Therefore:

  • Either Jesus was agender despite having a penis, therefore penis doesn't imply male gender or
  • Jesus was male. So either:
    • Jesus and God don't have the same gender, so they aren't the same entity, which the councils of Nicea and Chalcedon would deem a heresy, or
    • God can manifest as male or agender, making Them genderfluid.

"

  • I'll drive all humanity insane!
  • How does the insanity manifest?
  • They'll carve strange sculptures, chant and dance around them, and maybe make orgies."

In French, the "correct" word for "penguin" is "manchot" /mãʃo/ , and "pingouin" /pɛ̃ɡwɛ̃/ stayed the word for "great auk" for longer... But translating "penguin" as "pingouin" has grown more and more common. First as a mistake, but at that point it's not clear anymore what is correct or not. Someone a bit pedantic might correct you if you say "pingouin" instead of "manchot", but is a linguistic mistake still a mistake when it's understood by the majority?

Why use stone when we have very good teeth and fingernails? Big stone wants to make us week. Not big big stone, which we can't lift unless very strong, but big little stone.

Who profits the most from such schemes? Credit card processor companies. I believe they're trying to trick us.

The point is that they'll sell the bottles to the turtles. The turtles are gonna have to work to earn it. For dozens of millions of years they've been freeloading, receiving handouts from the sea. They're finally gonna contribute to the economy.

Chill, they're called that because they kinda look like penises, they're not penis parasites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priapulida?wprov=sfla1

 

"You" can either mean the second person (Shakira in this case) or people in general.
Therefore, "I never really knew you could danc like this" can mean either "I didn't know you (Shakira) were able to dance like this." or "I didn't know it was humanly possible to dance like this". It is usually context that tells these interpretations apart, for example, the first one would only make sense if Wyclef already knows Shakira. But is Wyclef's character supposed to know Shakira's in the story of the song?

Two lines later, he asks her "Como te llamas?", which seems to imply that he doesn't. #However he later also says "Shakira, Shakira", even tho she hasn't answered yet, implying he did know her name. What gives?

I'm not sure either why he keeps saying "No fighting".

 

TL:DR : I just want xterm to not do anything special when I start typing ctrl+shift+u so I can write special character, so I must remove the ctrl+u default keybind.

I'm using xterm on a laptop (no discrete gpu and pretty bad integrated graphics, so gpu-accelerated ones like kitty are counterproductive, and I use i3 so an xorg based one sounds better). I also like using vim.

I'm also using a qwerty keyboard, but sometimes write in French and need accents. I've memorized the codes for those I often need, like ctrl+maj+u+e+9 for é, but it doesn't work in xterm because it executes the ctrl+u keybind (delete previous characters and then types "(" (because it's maj+9).

So, following online guides, I've created a .Xresource file with the following code:

XTerm.VT100.translations: #override \n\
   Ctrl <Key>U: none

And I also added the line

exec xrdb ~/.Xresources

But to no avail, even when restarting the x session or manualy running xrdb ~/.Xresources.

What am I doing wrong?

 

Des erreurs ont été commises

Un nombre insuffisant de chaussures a été emmené lors du déménagement.

Des chaussures ont été mises sans chaussettes, qui n'auraient dût être portées qu'avec.

Du bicarbonate de sodium a été mis pour absorbé l'humidité, jusque-là sans beaucoup d'effet.

Les souliers retrouveront-ils une odeur tolérable ?

Seul le temps nous le dira, l'histoire reste encore à écrire.

For context, the post I'm referring to is a map of Africa with subsaharia Africa in deep green, Sudan in light green and north Africa was white or some other color. The poster was claiming nothing had ever been invented in the green zone. My comment was gonna be this:

Antiseptics before Europeans.

Iron Smelting Not the first to discover it, but recent evidence show it was invented independently.

Sudano-Sahelian Architecture

Some modern Archtecture taking inspiration from Sudano-Sahelian features such as a roof shape favoring natural ventilation. And since I just transitioned to recent inventions, there's the Cardio Pad, invented in Cameroon, to help diagnose cardiovascular disease.
