So much for Majesty.

A few months back, Google decided to fill my newsfeed with inane royal fashion reviews and won't stop no matter how many times I tell it to block all stories about the Duchess of Inbredchestershire and her friends.

Kate's a "normal" person, her husband is the inbred royal :colbert:

Normal compared to the other royals, she's still from a wealthy family and probably pretty disconnected from reality

Also since the quality of general officers was like the one thing the CSA had going for it and they didn't win, it's a bad analogy.

You'd never set it up to speak into the top like that though. It'll work, but it's not how you're supposed to use it.

i use it like that regularly because it helps to filter out the pops.

edit- i'm looking through the yeti instruction manuals itself and i realize i'm misremembering a feature of the Shure mics i used to use. i assume that's what happened here, someone got the hipster podcast mic for name recognition and just assumed it worked like a regular mic.

edit2- in conclusion, if you don't have a pop filter talking into the top of the yeti while set to omnidirectional works fine. you can also just buy a pop filter if you lost the one you made in high school out of a coathanger and nylons, unless the only music store that carries them has a currently active blood feud going against you.

Why wouldn't they? Just because they think their religion is correct doesn't mean that other religions aren't dangerous. If you believe in supernatural forces then it's just as likely that malevolent ones exist as benevolent, especially if your religion explicitly includes evil supernatural forces (eg. the devil).

My understanding is that abrahamic scripture is pretty consistent about identifying heathen beliefs and practices as specifically being "false", rather than framing them as some kind of divine force directly competing with The Lord for humanity's attention. That's how I remember it going down with the golden calf/baal/etc. I might be wrong tho!

Actually, the book of Exodus does have a bit where the Egyptian priests whip out some divine magic. When Moses and Aaron's staff gifted from Yahweh turns into a snake, the priests turn their own staves into snakes as well, but the Yahweh snake eats them. So at least one book thinks that other gods exist, it's just that Yahweh can kick their asses.

You might remember that moment as the villain song from The Prince of Egypt.

I've never cracked open a religious book but doesn't the commandment "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" not just imply but state there are other gods but your meant to only worship Yahweh?

The Bible is very explicit that there are other gods but they are inferior to Yahweh. That commandment is specifically about the Israelites not worshipping other gods, the Egyptians have their own gods.

quote:

For Yahweh is a great god, and a great king above all gods

It then goes on to say that Yahweh kicked the asses of all the Egyptian gods

quote:

Yahweh executed judgments against their gods

It goes a bit futher, essentially Yahweh is the primary god, and implicitly controls or perhaps created the other gods to rule over other people, none Israelites

quote:

the sun, the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven . . . [which] Yahweh your god has allotted to all the peoples everywhere under heaven.

The people of israel must worship Yahweh and no one else, the other gods are for other people.

It seems at some point Yahweh deposes the other gods and perhaps kills them.

quote:

[Yahweh] has taken his place in the divine council,
In the midst of the gods he passes judgment. . . .
And all of you, sons of Elyon [God Most High]
Instead like Adam you shall die,
And like one of the ‘Shining Ones’ you shall fall.”
“Arise, O Yahweh; Judge the earth!
May you take possession of all the nations!”

My thing with the anti-halal people is to ask them if they have ever eaten an apple, or drunk orange juice.

Coz if they have, then *gasp* they have eaten halal food! And as such are definitely muslim now in the eyes of Allah.

Bit of background, RMS is Richard Stallman, an MIT scientist that resigned because he said that sex with minors is not always sexual assault.

Turns out RMS has been a creep for years and women have been warned to stay away from him.

So this dude is framing it as a witch hunt for "weird" people, rather than ousting known sexual predators from authoritative positions. It's such a WTF take.
