    Sorry for ruining the joke, but the character can be female even though the actor isn’t

      Yeah, honestly, stuff like this is just telling the world that you don’t know what acting is.

      What if an actor comes out as non-binary? Are you suddenly convinced that every character they’ve ever played is non-binary?

      Are gay actors not allowed to play straight characters?

      Do actors have to be exactly the same age as the characters they portray? What about when the actor gets older? Does that retroactively make all of their characters older?

      I know they’re doing this as a bit, but it’s bad bit that reinforces stupid ideas about trans actors. Let trans people portray whoever the fuck they want to portray and stop turning it into a whole thing.

      The Bible is an anthology (a compilation of texts of a variety of forms) originally written in Hebrew (with some parts in Aramaic) and Koine Greek.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible

      60.87% of these words were in somebody’s English interpretation of the bible, but not the bible.

      Does

      Genesis 37:10:

      And when he had related this to his father and brothers, his father rebuked him, and he said: “What does it mean to you, this dream that you have seen? Should I, and your mother, and your brothers reverence you upon the earth?”

        They’re almost certainly just using one translation - probably KJV since I don’t find any instances of “does” in that version, they would all be “doth” or “hast” most likely. I guess it’s just a meme so it doesn’t really matter if you half-ass it, but it’s definitely not the best way of doing it.

        “Sex” is also definitely in the NIV and some other translations.

          yeah I mean no English words except false cognates are in the Bible without translation, so it’s a meaningless question.

          In fact the words in the first half of the Bible aren’t in the second half because the first half is Hebrew/Aramaic and the second half is Koine Greek.

      Juno is a film in which Elliot Page plays the titular character Juno, the plot involves Junos pregnancy and a problematicsexual relationship with a character played by Michael Cera. Elliot Page was known as Ellen Page when the movie released and in general read as a women during those times.

      e: erasing hints of me being german and capitilizing nouns in langauges that don’t do that.

      e2: thought for some reason Cera played another character, both played teens.

            Na, I would bet it’s Germany. Neither the Austrians not the Swiss are known for their Panzerhaubitzen. The Swiss could craft some fine Dunstabzugshauben though.

          The username looks like something my cat would type jumping on the keyboard and is pronounced like an angry German yelling at said cat for jumping on the keyboard

            Haubitze is German for howitzer. You can’t expect it to sound like fairies and butterflies.

            Besides that I hate that old “German sounds angry” shit. If you scream in French, it’ll sound harsh as well.

              That’s true, I still sound like an American pussy when I speak it. Maybe I’ll sound angrier if/when I actually learn to speak it properly?

              I mean:

              1. It’s funny because it’s true
              2. All non-Germany speaking countries have at least 1 joke, where the point is with German language you just don’t know if it’s a new vacuum cleaner brand name, or a declaration of war.

                  Nice scientific approach to proving that German sounds angry.

                  He’s also wrong by saying that people think German is warlike and ugly because of Hitler. German neighbours (e.g. Poles) have written sources hundred years old proving him wrong (at least 1890-ish)

                  Edit: even older lol, Wincenty Kadłubek was implying that in ~1200
