I added a comment mentioning that as an alternative possibility, but that's unconvincing because the Ojibwe told the French that the Iroquois were named "Nadowe" or "big snakes."

There are several groups but essentially there are two main groups based on language divisions, the Lakota and the Dakota. Those are used primarily to identify them, but collectively they're the "Oceti Sakowin" which means "Seven Council Fires."

An alternative explanation is that Nadowessiwag means "to speak a foreign language. However, the Ojibwe introduced the Iroquis to the French as "Nadowe," or "big snake," which makes the snake translation more likely.

Many of them had their own names, Amenhotep was the son of Ahmose I. There are eleven different Ramesses, but only some of them are father and son.

It might have been a general tradition in that some people's sons are juniors.

EDIT: Apparently they often took regal names. Ramesses X was born Amonhirkhepeshef, but ruled as Khepermaatre. I'm not sure why we know him as Ramesses X.

Everyone had names, but I doubt the Pharaoh was walking around chatting with people. "Hey, Banafrit, how's Khaemweset doing? I heard he's working on my pyramid now. They grow up so fast."

Bathtubs in the kitchen used to be a thing. That's where you produced the hot water, that's where you took baths. Indoor plumbing came about much earlier than indoor plumbing with heated water. You'd use your stove to heat the water, there was no hot water system.

Cold water flats were the standard apartment in NYC and many big cities until after WW II.

It's unlikely Richard I was gay. He was known for being exceptionally cruel, and although he spent one night sharing a bed with Philip II as a sign of unity, no one at the time thought anything of it.

He had at least one illegitimate child and held off on marriage because he was having an affair with a woman he couldn't have married for political reasons. Richard I spent much of his life putting down rebellions and going on crusade, it any of his contemporaries thought he was gay they would have made that accusation.

There's a mention to him committing a sin like in Sodom and Gomorrah, but it's thought to reference the fact that he would crush his enemies and rape their women.

Personal attacks are the best way to support your argument, you should join a debate team.

Alex Jones, who's been around twenty years spouting conspiracy theories, and who's never used violence or inspired someone to use violence, is nonetheless trying to incite people to use physical force, that's what you're parsing? When you're the only one hearing the dog whistle, it might mean you're the dog.

My standard is consistent, the word fight doesn't necessarily mean physical violence regardless of who says it.

Your standard appears to be selectively choosing what fight means depending on who said it and what you divine that person's internal thoughts are.

That's not a "gotcha!" you misunderstood what I wrote.

If the word "fight" has a broad meaning, including oppose, then you can't assume someone using the word fight is trying to get people to be physically violent. The assumption is that when Jones says fight it's "nudge, nudge, wink wink," he's really telling people they should be violent but he's going to argue that he didn't say it outright.

When Jones says fight, we're supposed to read his mind and know that he means actual violence, but when anyone says fight we know they don't mean actual violence.

The word fight is exclusively reserved for physical violence? When Biden said he was fighting for a woman's right to choose, what did he mean? That Democrats should physically attack all people who are Pro-Life, or just justices and politicians that disagreed with him? How are those people to be fought? Guns, knives, crowbars, what?

Or did Biden mean just him, he's literally going to fist fight people who disagree with him? He got a chain and fought off Corn Pop, is Amy Coney Barrett next?

I'm not a listener or fan of Alex Jones, but that's a blatant micharacterization of what he did on January 6th.

>Jones is actually quite careful to avoid directly inciting his followers to violence.

This sounds as if you're saying that you know he wants to incite violence but he makes sure he doesn't directly call for violence so he can't get in trouble. But that starts with the premise that you know he wants to incite violence. How do you know that? If he hasn't said it, how do you know that's what he's thinking?
