Abraham was from modern Turkey.
The snake and lizard branch is wrong. I care very much about the accuracy of memes, and I have to point out that many lizards are more closely related to snakes than they are to other lizards.
It's actually so he can listen to show tunes.
I think that people will look back on Elon Musk as an utter charlatan and a disaster, and hopefully it will provide people with insight into how the US economy actually functions, and to me that's a pretty exciting prospect.

Even with the phonemes of any two given language varieties that are considered to be “the same sound”, there are going to be differences in what the average pronunciation is, so I assume that’s a lot of what’s going on here. The other thing is that English and Chinese have a lot of phonemes that barely or don’t at all overlap in possible pronunciations, so the algorithm is picking the closest match.
It's absolutely a fair criticism. People get mad because the games were themed around expanding the ocean and expanding the land and see it as justified that it had an equal amount of water and land routes. That thematically makes sense, but they did nothing to make the water routes as interesting as the land routes or to compensate for the fact that types weak to water got hosed for half the game. They should have varied the scenery on water routes, had aquatic Pokemon that weren't water type, and made the encounter tables as varied as they were on land.
Can I kill one person 8 billion times instead?
I don’t think his plan is meant to be logical. All the other characters say he’s insane and he’s literally referred to as “the mad titan”. He’s just brain broke. It’s not like fascism in our world is particularly reasonable either.
Most of us are a little bit Neanderthal.

Just a little quibble with your point about Tibetan writing - a better comparison would be Modern English written as it was during the Old English period. So like “lord” might be written as “hlafweard”, for example, because it is a direct descendent of that word put through hundreds of years of pronunciation change. English doesn’t come from Latin and “finally” doesn’t come from “ad ultimum”, whereas Tibetan does come from Old Tibetan, the language the script was originally fairly adequately adapted to.
