Skipping meals for a week won't harm you. It's water you can't do without.

Two weeks starts to get dangerous.

Pirating GW is always morally correct and has been since the 90's, that they've pissed off some neckbeards again is irrelevant.

Tacitus explicitly refers to a "Christus" crucified by Pilate and the cult followers he gave his name to, "Chrestianos," distinct but related to Judaism. If there is a problem with citing him as proof of Jesus's historical reality it's that he doesn't tell us where he heard about "Christus," and might just be reporting the claims of the cult without having bothered to see if Prefect Pilate actually executed a random Hebrew cult leader for treason.

Of course, by the time Tacitus wrote he might just not have bothered, rebelling against Rome and getting executed for it is just kind of what Hebrews did at the time.

Honestly, that's half the vibe of character creation in Fallout games too. Perfect casting tbh

Idk, I think it's worth mentioning. I didn't know that about him.

Jesus almost certainly existed, Tacitus refers to his cult and execution and he was not a fan of the weirdo Jewish cannibal cult or their growing popularity in Rome.

Everything else is a bit more in question.

Trump was a Democrat until he realized the Republicans were dumb enough to vote for him. He'd respect self interest.
