Have you ever actually read it? The prophecies were deliberately spread over the universe by the Bene Gesserit. The department that does that is called the Missionaria Protectiva, they do that all over the universe so their members can manipulate the locals to be safe wherever they end up. This isn’t supposed to glorify those prophecies, it’s demystifying them to the point where religion as a whole is showcased as a mere tool to control the masses in later books. It’s supposed to criticise the thing you’re criticising.

You make it sound like a joke but that’s literally all it takes here.

I really thought this was about the DirectX compatibility layer for Linux and was hopelessly lost until a dozen sentences in.

Gibt es denn eine eigene Statistik für ausgefallene Züge?

I won’t throw shade

Man, I miss smaller phones. Still running my s10e. Got a fairphone 4 when I had to renew my contract but quickly got back to the s10e because of the camera and, more importantly, the size. With the s10e’s battery starting to really degrade, I’m now looking for a phone and they’re all too big! S22 is on my list, which is only slightly bigger than the s10e. Would have bought the Xperia 10 V, if it had a better camera and wireless charging, even though it’s sony’s low end device, just because it is kind of small. I’m even considering switching to an iPhone SE, just because I can’t seem to find higher end small android phones. What kind of hands do people think I have?
