    First of all, and not being sarcastic here, thank you for answering my initial question. Secondly, was it really that hard to say from the beginning that you did not find Beira’s positive aspects to be relevant to the case? That would have been a quick and simple answer. As would saying the...

    Which means you can’t explain why the negative aspects of Beira are valid and the positive aspects are invalid.

    That’s the first time I’m seeing that link here. Are you saying that you posted that link to that story on this thread before? You posted and linked to the Angus and Bride story twice. It is the same story by the same author. You also claimed that JK Rowing “fanfictioned up” new meanings for...

    I am getting “hung up” on the fact that TheMysteriousGx made a claim about that mythological figure and refuses to explain why they feel their version is the “real” version and any positive take on her is “fake”.

    The last thing we watched, cartoon/animu edition

    Rick and Morty Season 6 part two- more misses than hits with this batch of five episodes. The only one I thought was a solid hit was the dinosaur episode. The Previous Leon episode had some funny bits and pieces. The final episode was kind of meh outside of whenever President Curtis was...

    You still haven’t directly answered my question as to why the story with Father Winter is more real than other versions. Though I will say your implication that the name has TERFA connotations does shed light on the subject. As does your refusal to see any positive aspect of the mythology...

    Yet again. What makes the Angus and Bride myth- the one you linked and the one from the earlier tweet, which is the same one- the "real" version over any other version of Beira. I have not seen a Scottish or Celtic figure named Father Winter. Father Winter does not fit the naming conventions of...

    This might be weird, but I noticed that Adam Driver was a good actor from his appearances on SNL. I never saw him break character, not even a little giggle at stupid or outlandish lines. I never saw him overact. Each character was different, he didn’t do the same guy over and over. And I never...

    https://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/beira-queen-winter-006053 While I, personally, have not found any tales or myths, this article says there are tales that depict her as a guardian of life force who would find and nourish buried seeds. It’s in the fifth paragraph down. A deity that...

    I am not saying that you should. I am saying that it seems that Beira was the mother of all gods or was seen as a mother figure. Just like Zeus was the father of the Olympian gods and Odin was the father of the Aesir. And you did not answer my question. What makes the tweeted story any more...

    What makes the tweeted version more real than other versions? From what I can find Scottish and Celtic mythology does not contain a figure named Father Winter. Beira herself was the Queen of Winter. She was also, it seems, the mother goddess, which strikes me as an Odin/Zeus kind of position.

    So enlighten me as to what “conditions not typically seen in the teen demographic” means.

    Bipolar and Borderline Personality disorder mostly being discovered in the teen years does not mean that most teens are diagnosed with either disorder.

    Biden helps avert railway strike.

    They face charges of negligent homicide like the cop in the story you linked. Or they face charges of reckless endangerment, or manslaughter depending on what they did wrong.

    Biden helps avert railway strike.

    I see how it is now. You have decided that every single time a cop shoots someone, regardless of circumstance, it is murder and nothing will ever change that. Arguing further is pointless.
