Not enough people called Bethuel today
Or Christenia, for that matter
In Russia Christina is common name
Christenia, not Christina.
Aren't they are same name
They're spelled differently, so no. They're also pronounced differently.
Yeah, well, imagine going to school and being called Bethuel. Sounds like free swirlies for life.
In 1840, going to school and not being named something like Bethuel was what got you bullied.
Also, you were nobody if you didn't have rickets.
This was 183 years ago. Fascinating to read a blurb of their struggle, and vicariously experience these two persons’ lives.
Preservation is important. 200 years from now (if we haven’t killed ourselves by our petty wars or boiled ourselves off the planet) imagine our descendants watching our Tik Toks. Watching YouTube prank videos of our time. Reading about #MeToo. Epstein. Harambe. Militarized police tear-gassing a crowd of peaceful protestors all so that Trump can take a picture in front of a church while holding a Bible upside down. Stories of our human rights abuse. Messi and Ronaldo. Steve Jobs’ presentation to reveal the iPhone. A crowd of players running to get a Charizard in 2016. Listening to our podcasts. Reading our blogs and article snapshots of our time. It’s absolutely fascinating to think where we will be in 200 years, and wonder about what kind of legacy we will leave behind. While we’re doing some good things, there’s a lot of really negative things we are also doing. Will we be able to save ourselves and delay the impending climate crisis? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z!
Whoops! Having a sobering and reflective existential moment, carry on!
I keep thinking with AI and social media we could easily prank the future hard via religion.
Fam just invented the Missionaria Protectiva
Haha very close! I was thinking more along the lines of we could use bots to "confirm" future Gospel stories for whatever religion comes next. Setup normal boring accounts that one time post something like "there was a street preacher out today and I saw him do some miracles. People are saying he is the Messiah".
Basically pull a Josphius. A thousand or so years from now "historians" will argue that this religious figure must have existed since we have an ancient tweet about him.
Kind of amazing, ignoring the obvious stress and turmoil. Such a slice of life.
Damn, girl! Get it!
Sounds more than anything like a couple trying to establish grounds for divorce back in the day when no fault divorce didn’t exist. You had to claim abandonment or infidelity or some other fault to give yourself standing for divorce.
Poor Bethuel, fucked around, found out.
I like this lady.
Thank God that steer was found. I don't even want to think what would happen if they didn't.
I am a time traveler.
Drag his ass
