  • Not spice but caffeine. Stopped at a reservation gas station on a road trip to grab water and fuel. I walk in and the lady at the counter says that the sodas are on the far wall, I ask why she thinks I want soda and she says it’s cause I’m white but definitely not any type of Mormon since I don’t hold myself like them. Anyways I grab my water and fuel after that rather amusing interaction, then I go to my car and make another thing of gamersupps. She was simply wrong about my source of caffeine.




  • That’s kinda complex since there were multiple Hebrew/Jewish/Abrahamic kingdoms and polities in the region at the time and not all of them are recorded particularly well. There were two major kingdoms roughly set where Israel and Palestine are now, the kingdom of Israel/Jerusalem (it got turned into a city state a couple times) and the kingdom of Judea, then there was the kingdom of the Philistines, and then in the north you get a weird mix of city states and minor kingdoms.

    This is all to say that no it is not, even a fully unified Hebrew state at the time would possibly be smaller than modern Israel. The modern boarders of Israel match up better with the medieval Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem. Also kinda irrelevant the Palestinians are the peoples of the region who stayed rather than being exiled after the Romans put down the Jewish rebellion, they homogenized and mixed together over about two thousand years before the modern period.



  • Maybe. Don’t actually know, the ones I’m in contact with have pretty universally chilled out but who knows about the other ones. Though even with that I’m not stupid enough to assume I wouldn’t fall back into my ancestors ways of banditry and murder, just requires the right targets and enough leeway to get away with it. Would be pretty lucrative for example to raid those shitty little orthodox Mormon communities out in the desert especially with a crew.

    But like I said, as of right now all the ones I know were killers are dead or so old that they won’t be pulling that shit again.





  • Yeah and several of them were my kin and were murderers. My kin were the folks who you went to when you needed someone dealt with, hell I wouldn’t be surprised if my great great aunt killed someone as a favor to the Hells Angels back in the day. Let alone some of the kin I’m less close, I know at least one of them ended up in prison for murder back in the day due to some such Berdoo nonsense. Funny enough a kinsman who I only met once was also in Prison at some point and was on the bad side of the law into old age threatened to kill my sperm donor, glad he didn’t kill stealing is a step to far and that sombitch belongs either to my grandmother or myself.
