Also it's Wisconsin so it's just grey bleak winter outside 9 months out of the year and that same bleak greyness is indoors.

Son of Thunderbeast posted:Almost certainly some perspective trickery to make the room feel bigger/deeper than it is I think they use a fisheye lens and then straighten out the distortion around the edges of the shot to give the effect of more depth, but at the expense of things getting stretched more at the edges. E: Love the two bare bulb cage lamps in the living room (kids play room with a creepy dancing baby print?).

I wish I had the picture of my mud room that was online. It looked like a regular room, but is actually like three feet wide and six feet long.

People remain mystified about adjusting cabinet doors. Though I am a fan of the 19-slice toaster, and the dishwasher you can wash a Fiat in.

Bar Ran Dun posted:Also Jesus btw. Eg. Triumphant entry riding an rear end into town, is a satire of a Roman triumph. The theory goes that this goes back a good bit further. Obviously the folks telling and retelling these stories had a really different context from the one that we have now. James Frazer's work is going to annoy the crap out of a lot of present day readers but there's a lot in there that 'modern' folk have lost the context for. For example, it's easy to forget just how Hellenized the culture was. Adonis (the savior god who's probably based on the older rituals with preserving the 'vegetative life force'), his connection with the winter/spring cycles of death and renewal (the whole kill your god while it's still young so that it's strong enough to be resurrected in the spring') was still culturely alive. The JC story is also in the context of post Babylon exile Judaism. During the exile they got exposed to the end of the year rituals from those traditions. There was a fusion of the king and the god. The end of the year came in the spring. But you didn't need to ritually kill your god king any longer. You had your nice even 365 day calendar with 360 days divided into convenient units and 5 days left over for the big party. The party involved a 'mock king'. The mock king would enter the city riding on a donkey. The mock king was met with symbols of the spring renewal (nice green tree bows and palm fronds). There's a big celebration to welcome the arrival of the mock king on the donkey. The mock king rules for the 5 day ritual holiday, everybody has a good time, and then the mock king is ritually put to death. Fraser says that if you trace it back far enough, the mock king was originally chosen from one of the annoying kingly offspring from the harem. who kingy didn't want competing for the throne. And eventually that changed so that the mock king was chosen from the ranks of condemned criminals. Franser gives a very long list of examples of variations one these rituals from many cultures around the world. When he wrote the Golden Bough he didn't come right out and say it, but it was obvious in the way that he layed out the stories. A guy riding in to town on the back of a donkey, being greeted by people lining his way with greenery, being celebrated for a week, and then all of a sudden he gets executed -- yeah, everybody knew that story.

So it's very popular for real estate photography.

Bar Ran Dun posted:Eh plenty of historical Jesus scholarship says similar things. Like it’s a hot take forty years ago. I remember reading an article along those lines, saying that Jesus was very deliberately challenging the established authority, as a politicial play. There was also stuff like maybe curing lepers was actually going and visiting people who had recovered from leprosy but who were still pariahs, and declaring that their leprosy was cured from a religious/legal point of view, in defiance of the authorities. I thought it was interesting, and wondered how plausible it was. Then I started reading the new testament and it was immediately, screamingly obvious. I figured that to most readers it probably wouldn't be quite so clear just how out there his defiance was, in these incidents, and found it interesting that he did things that someone with an Orthodox Jewish background today would still immediately identify as at odds with religious law.

"Jesus said many Jewish laws were performative rituals people used to look holy while they neglected suffering and injustice, and his followers should throw them away" wasn't some deep academic subtext of the gospels, it was straight up text he was directly quoted on repeatedly. So was "To the Jewish establishment it was straight up heresy against the word of God." As a (Christian) reader you're supposed to side with him because he was divinely sent to bring new commandments to the world, not unlike other prophets before despite a more exotic backstory. The important part most modern Christians miss isn't the symbolism of hand-washing or specific 1st century cultural references. They're not necessary for much understanding of the text (unless you're reading Revelation and then hooboy.) It's how often they've embraced their own performative ritual over what their own claimed savior spoke on. https://i.imgur.com/rkpYsJQ.mp4 Pity about the hand washing still, we can say for sure Jesus wasn't sent to bring germ theory to the world.
