snergle posted:so uh am i reading the second part wrong? it sounds like he wants the christian right to all die and join god in heaven. he knows suicide is a one way ticket to hell right? unless you catholic suicide yourself by drinking / smoking / over eating for 20 years or provoke a cop into shooting you. oh i just got why they want the cops to not be defunded. I read it more as "Let's pray the Rapture into happening," which on top of the Rapture being an idea built out of really strained readings of disparate texts that ignores much more apparent themes in those texts, goes against the usual Rapture "no one knows the day or hour/God works in mysterious ways" stuff to basically say that enough people asking can just make it happen at will. Of course, God directly taking people to Heaven is in most ways functionally identical to death, so it's more Suicide by God than Suicide by Cop.

Data Graham posted:No way am I watching the video to find out what he's citing but can it possibly even be true? After a cursory Wikipedia search, seems like total bullshit; ~12 million slaves shipped "Across the Atlantic" over the course of the slave trade, ~1 million immigrants from Africa to the US since the mid-1960s (there were some pretty severe quotas prior to that point). I suppose it's possible that less than 1/12 of the slaves went to the US specifically, especially because there were some long periods where the US didn't (legally) accept new slaves for trade, opting to let them reproduce (and in many cases, to my knowledge, specifically pairing people off) to get more. Also, it's Dennis Prager, he doesn't cite poo poo, just says "I bet this is a statistic you haven't heard before."

Ignoring the obvious dumbness of "Australia is in Europe and uses the Euro," pointing out the exchange rate isn't an immediately stupid thing. Of course, assuming that number is AUD (an Australian site uses the same number so this seems reasonable) and doing the exchange, 19.84 AUD is...15.30 USD.

Mike Ross and Gootecks were a couple of buddies that played Fighting Games. They started making a series of Youtube videos where they played Super Street Fighter 4 (and eventually some other games too) online while being goofs. These got reasonably popular. They often did ads for fighting game related stuff, usually fight sticks (console/pc controllers with arcade-style buttons and joystick). One of these ads involved them busting out an old collection of Pogs and eventually using a fight stick as a slammer to demolish a very large stack of Pogs (good fight sticks tend to be quite heavy). Gootecks made a lot of funny faces. Around the same time, Twitch was becoming a thing, and fighting game tournaments were becoming a pretty popular thing to stream. Somebody made a Twitch emote of one of Gootecks's funny faces and labeled it "Poggers" in reference to the Pogs ad. This eventually became a Twitch-wide emote with a general purpose "get hype" meaning. Which resulted in "Poggers" becoming a synonym for "sweet/awesome/get hype." Then Gootecks went fully mask-off being a piece of poo poo (he kind of always was, by most accounts), so Twitch changed the emote, but the influence of "Poggers" remains. "Kappa" was also a popular Twitch emote, particularly on Fighting Game related streams, because the image is was associated with resembled another fairly well-known player, which is how r/kappa was born.

Seth Pecksniff posted:fun fact: there's substantial evidence that a meteor exploded over an ancient city, possibly birthing the God's wrath narrative! As I recall, this was mostly one weirdo desperately trying to find a real, historical Sodom, while most scholars and archaeologists agree the city cited here doesn't seem to fit. As I recall, the evidence for a meteor in this specific case was also called into question by people not involved in this particular study. If I recall correctly, the general consensus is that the story of Sodom and Gomorrah is chiefly mythological and there probably wasn't actually an actual historical event associated with it.

Not disbelieving you but I'd like to read more on it https://retractionwatch.com/2021/10/01/criticism-engulfs-paper-claiming-an-asteroid-destroyed-biblical-sodom-and-gomorrah/ Has some decent links to "this probably wasn't an asteroid/meteor" criticisms. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2021/09/23/a-night-with-lot-in-sodom-on-meteors-and-memory/ https://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2021/09/24/a-night-with-lot-in-sodom-better-see-that-twice/ Those two have a bit more of "the lead author is a bit of a kook," and some thoughts on competing ideas of biblical historicity. I'd recommend Fred Clark's writing in a broader sense, particularly the long series criticizing the Left Behind books (I think he's got a link to the e-book version of that somewhere on his blog). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5Ag9n-o0IZACF2h6ztqC1wxmeUug1rtD Finally, I don't think anything in here specifically addresses this specific study, but it talks a lot about scholarly consensus on various parts of the Bible and is in general very neat.

Coolness Averted posted:But did he write both? Or did Moffat steal a joke Gaiman used in a previous show he ran? Jekyll was a few years before that Doctor Who episode, so if anything it was the other way around. It's possible Moffat inserted it into The Doctor's Wife during the editing process (which was apparently fairly extensive since Gaiman had to be taught about their budget constraints), but that seems weirdly specific.

You mean the indeterminate number of astrologers of unknown origin who one of the gospels says showed up like two years after he was born? Still too late to catch the Mohel. Edit to specifically answer Skwirl's question: 1. Only Matthew references them 2. Matthew never calls them kings, just "wise men from the east" 3. Matthew never says there's three of them, just that they brought three gifts 4. As implied by the original part of this post, Matthew has them arriving long after the birth itself Kantesu has a new favorite as of 16:42 on Jan 5, 2022 |

sexpig by night posted:there are better examinations of dystopian realism that didn't come from a dude who later went on to rat on anti-fascists. Like 1984 is a good book but pretending it's uniquely so is silly. If you want to break the old white man mold you can use Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sowers and Parable of the Talents, or if you want to go for arguably the real ~classical influence~ on books like 1984 you can do We by Zamyatin. Hell, just change it up a loving bit with Fahrenheit 451 and you can still go for a super mainstream one that the kids can just watch a movie for. The thing that has stuck with me most about the film version of Fahrenheit 451 is that the opening credits are spoken aloud rather than written out like usual, it's a neat thematic choice
