Lust is not wanting to have sex with other people. Lust is using sex to hurt other people or hurting another person in a sexual way.

Gluttony is not eating lots of food (your own stomach will tell you when enough is enough). Gluttony is when you have enough resources to yourself that you could house and feed the rest of the population of your city but you keep it to yourself because you do not want to give up the power associated with it.

Greed is not wanting to improve the state of your material life because it would improve your quality of life. Greed is taking opportunities and resources away from already marginalized people. (And if someone tells you that a service you benefited from and it actively improved your life was not meant for you specifically, then there needs to be more of that resource).

Envy is not looking at someone who has a higher quality of life and wanting to improve it. Envy is when you are looking to take away from someone who is in the same situation as you. The example the Bible (or catholic school) uses is a man looking at another man’s wife when his own wife loves him very much and is equal to the other woman in every way that is important.

Sloth (aka laziness) isn’t when you’re exhausted or hurting and being too tired to do anything else. Sloth is when one contributed nothing to the work and yet reaps the rewards of the work.

Fact: the majority of bisexuals are closeted.

Me: Oh yeah. The Mediterranean had a lot of problems with volcanoes every few thousand years or so. So why was this one special?

What the island looks like today:

Ye.

They had several extremely advanced items for the time period (3000 BC to c. 1100 BC) which other civilizations had not developed yet for thousands of years (such as a working plumbing system). They had a writing system we have no idea how to read as no writing system evolved from it and it’s not related to any of the other writing systems we do understand (ancient Greek, Ancient Egyptian etc etc)

They had a extremely peaceful nation from what we can gather, as none of their art showed soldiers or military until near the end of their civilization, and instead showed scenes of agriculture, games, every day life and things along those lines instead.

“tiddies out” civilization as I like to call it due to the common dress of the women as shown in almost all art.

(men are drawn with darker skin than women)

I heard somewhere that they were possibly a Matriarchal society but I need to do research on that as I’m not entirely comfortable with declaring that as possibly true just because I heard 1 person talk about it. I want to see some sources first.

But yeah. Many people believe the Minoans were the basis for the Atlantis story.

Plato wrote the story of Atlantis in 360 BC and based his Dialogues are supposedly quoting Solon who went to Egyp between 580BC and 590BC and Solon said he got the information about Atlantis from the Egyptian Records.

The Minoan Civilization, like I said, was between 3000 BC to c. 1100 BC. So by the time Plato wrote his dialogue on Atlantis, which is our only Primary source, the Minoan civilization was something that had died more than a thousand years ago. Meaning this was ancient history to the people of ancient history.

They engaged in bull leaping/bull jumping/bull dancing, where gymnasts would leap over live bulls. The bulls were not harmed, but undoubtedly some of the dancers were hurt or even killed.

Forms of bull leaping are practiced today in southwestern France, some parts of Spain, and Tamil Nadu. Likely the forms in France and Spain descend from the Minoan sport.

So this time I looked it up, I wondered how to get one and how much it cost. Turns out  it was a bit hard to find, actually, and that’s because it’s no longer called the Ogo, it’s called the Omeo.

They are pretty advanced as a product now, in terms of accessories, color options, etc (they have an off road conversion kit and stuff!). They are kind of expensive, tho not necessarily when compared to other wheel chairs, which cost anywhere from a couple hundred bucks for a shitty one, to like 4k for a high end electric one. An Omeo will cost you just under 2k.
