What's your local public library like, anon?
Anything cool? Any classes or reading clubs or seminars worth a damn? Or just hobos reading the newspaper and using the internet?
I'm currently enrolled in university, and so spend most of my time in the school library, but before, when I was studying to get into school, I would use the public library to have a quiet space. I got the feeling that the librarians thought I was a weirdo because I would gt up and use the water fountain very frequently, and because I dressed very frumpily. There were classes and clubs occasionally, but they don't seem to have been very well attented. I was just talking to a woman who has two sisters in librarian school, and it seems like an interesting field. One of them wants to be a curating librarian in a library with special collections, and apparently this is a very competitive position, but the other one is fine being a public librarian. She said that these positions are easier to get but the librarians complain a lot about the homeless.
Pic related is the biggest library in my city. You can't get into the library without a special permission but it is totally worth it. Nine floors above the ground and four more floors undeground. I seriously can't belive how much info is in there.
No libraries here

"Beware of Jewish fables" Titus 1:14
What did Paul mean by this?
"and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth."
It means what it says. Do not pay attention to false teachings or orders from non christians.
>>2390553
so he's saying to ignore the pope?
>>2390506
He, himself, was Jewish tho... wtf!!
Why did pragmatism die out in the 20th century post World War 2? There seems to be no middle ground anymore. There are only two sides which dominate political affairs now which are liberalism and conservatism, both of which operate like a bunch of zealous cults t b h who refuse to change their outdated ideologies or compromise.

Unfortunately /pol/ is too underage to have a mature discussion about this, but I have tried my best to keep this historically relevant.

>Why did pragmatism die out in the 20th century post World War 2?
It's having a revival with Trump and brexit.
As for why it died out, probably the deep state and powerful NGO's working to constantly fulfill their goals.
Because it's boring.

If you're an atheist, your answer is gonna be yes.
If you're a Christian, your answer is gonna be no.

The historical support for dinosaurs co-existing with man follows two general lines of reasoning. First, there are reports of dragons from many disparate civilizations that had no known interaction. These reports come down from credible historians, sources of much of our knowledge of western civilization. Along with the written reports from antiquity, there are many ancient artistic works depicting the great reptiles as men knew them. The similarities between the iconography and known kinds of dinosaurs is striking evidence that these artists saw or heard reliable reports of the great reptiles in their day. The evidence is so compelling that darwinists have resorted to speculations about primitive paleontologists in antiquity, instead of accepting the obvious.
The paleontological support for dinosaurs co-existing with man involves collapsing the evolutionary timescale from both directions. Clues in the dinosaur bones themselves show they are not millions of years old. Human implements in the lower layers reveal man’s presence going back to early in the fossil record. Of course human and dinosaur footprints (trace fossils) in the same rock layer are direct evidence of coexistence, indicating both walked through those sediment before they hardened. And the increasing number of “modern” fossils discovered alongside the dinosaurs is further evidence that the evolutionary timeline is all wrong.
The word "dinosaur" was coined in 1842.
Before that, people knew them as dragons or giant lizards.

That claim doesn't sit nicely with the rest of the extensive fossil record predating the dinosaurs, but good try.

tfw a daoist anarchist who lives beyond "good" or "evil", does good without intention, is infinitely spontaneous and creative like a child, incredibly smart but knows nothing, wise without any pretense of being wise, true to himself, and completely one with the Dao.

Seriously wtf was the point of that wall? It was so long romans couldn't effectively guard it and barbarians could easily climb over it
>>2390862
Same thing with the trump wall. It's a PR thing.
A wall that isn't Berlin or Korea tier serves a psychological function. It affirms what is and isn't.
It was a convenient place for garrisons and traders to be.
