  • It’s been fast like that since the end of WWII.
    My parents were born in the early 60s and they saw records replaced with eight tracks and then cassettes and then CDs and then mp3s and now streaming.
    Answering machines were a novelty when my parents were children and now we have cell phones.
    The internet wasn’t even something you could have imagined in your wildest dreams in the 1970s.

    You’re going to get next to no help at all without a location, and even with a location there’s not really enough detail in the photo for a good identification.

    People will need to know what country you live in, what region of said country if it’s a larger one like the United States or Australia, but even with that information you’re only going to get guesses because you really can’t see identifying features on the spider in this photo.






  • There should be absolutely no room for any kind of personal distinction between the two.
    Knowledge can be proven.
    Faith/belief cannot be proven.

    If you can prove something is real then you cannot believe in it.
    I don’t believe the moon is real because I have knowledge that it is indeed real, and I can prove it by telling you to just look at it.
    I cannot factually know that God doesn’t exist because I cannot prove that using any kind of experiment or test, so I cannot “know” that it’s true no matter how strong my belief in that statement is.

    Any “personal definition” of either of those is factually wrong. If we could all walk around with our own personal meanings behind concepts we wouldn’t have a functional language.
