Just another deity?
"Allah is just the Arabic word for God". Yeah, and Devi is just the Sanskrit word for goddess, right?
Fanborg
Vi får hoppas att "de sydkoreanska arbetarna" även kommer att försvara demokratin om den hotas av Vänsterpartiets gamla broderparti i norr...
Slag under bältet? Ja, kanske det, men jag är tillräckligt gammal för att komma ihåg när Nordkoreas fana ingick i Vänsterpartiets fanborg på första maj!

Well, actually

| AI´s fantasy picture of a basking shark |
"Sveriges hav - Nordsjöns giganter" is a somewhat peculiar nature documentary, probably German in provenance, but I haven´t been able to locate the original version. The Swedish title means "The Seas of Sweden - Giants of the North Sea".
Ahem, the North Sea is *not* Swedish...
Indeed, most of the docu seems to be taped on or around the Shetland Islands, which are (of course) British?! Not sure who came up with the idea to call this a "Swedish" documentary. Some old Viking romantic? Dude!
But sure, if you like dramatic vistas, this might be for you. Killer whales, basking sharks, grey seals, sea otters, dolphins, skuas attacking and eating puffins, the invasive red king crab...you get the picture. Shetland sure looks pretty dangerous, LOL.
Everything is permissible
Actual title of a YouTube video spotted just now: "Should Christians Watch Cage Fights? And Other Controversial Questions".
Some of the responses quoted below!
>>>At the Second Lateran Council in 1139, under the leadership of Pope Innocent II, the Roman Catholic Church set policy that anyone who dies while participating in combat or life threatening sports would be denied a church burial. This policy was again reiterated at the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215. Pope Benedict XIV continued to emphasize the policy in 1752 and added excommunication to those who participate in similar sports. The policy arose from Christian’s participating in jousting, fighting, and dueling. While rarely enforced today, the policy still stands in the church.
>>>Any sport that does not offend the Trinity is permissable imo. If you think boxing/MMA fights dishonor God than same could be said with football for the latter is a violent sport.
>>>Ramsey Dewey is a former cage fighter who currently teaches MMA in China, and a very devout Mormon, who makes videos on both topics. He actually has his own video about Christians and cagefighting, from the perspective of someone who has done both.
Throw it back into the sea

| No rare whales were harmed when generating this picture |
A dead specimen of a rarely seen whale has washed ashore a beach in New Zealand. Best line from the BBC´s news article: "New Zealand's Māori people regard whales as a sacred treasure, and DOC said local Maori communities would take part in deciding the whale's fate."
Ahem, are these the same Maori who exterminated the New Zealand charismatic mega-fauna and genocided the Chatham Islanders? Not sure why they should have any say in the matter, but if you insist...
I hope the Maori tell the scientists to throw the whale carcass back into the sea. I mean, the tears from the cryptozoology nerds on Reddit would be *epic*, LOL.
You still have to give him food, pastor
The pastor did the right thing, obviously, but I still can´t help pointing out that his actions are a creative reworking of what Jesus actually taught in the Sermon on the Mount...

Diagnoser
Hur i allsin dar är detta ens möjligt? Är det verkligen underdiagnostiserat? Eller har antalet personer med spektrumproblematik faktiskt ökat "på riktigt"? Och vad är i så fall orsaken? Miljö, arv eller vad?
Eller är det snarare tvärtom? Att vi ser en dramatisk överdiagnostisering. Jämför "könsdysfori"...
