Dereck Chisora vs Joseph Parker

Round 1

Chisora comes out flying AND DROPS PARKER IN THE OPENING SECONDS! He's up quickly, but that shook him. Par

There should be an additional flair for artistic posts as the nature of reality is artistic. If we can show off our gains, why can we not show off our love!?!?

Here is my attempt at convincing the men & women of this sub to be welcoming of more.

Title - The Now

Nothing existed before you were born, The universe had not been made. One cell divided and the laws of physics were set in motion; stars, dust, billions. Atoms more numerous than your ability to comprehend, marching along to the tick of an invisible clock built on an abstract concept, of a then and a now.

How far you've fallen. How far into the darkness you've walked, that the reflection is now more familiar than the light that makes it. How deep in love and in hate you have fallen with the shadows on the wall, forsaken have you, the source of the light that casts them.

Eternal child...

Son of my Sun. Son of the infinite.

Open your eyes, home is not so far as even to be close: for you have never left...

...only forgotten.

I have an ex missionary Mormon friend and he knows the most about Mormonism out of anyone I've ever known, he knows A LOT. I came to him with the criticism that a lot of the same errors seem to occur in the book of Mormon & in (circa Joseph’s family) edition of the Bible. This was his response. Did he successfully explain/debunk my claim?

MY CLAIM: There are errors in the Book of Mormon that are also contained in the 1769 (circa Joseph’s family) edition of the Bible.

HIS RESPONSE:

This is true, however due to how errors are recorded in the manuscript, it is very unlikely Joseph, or whoever you ascribe authorship to, copied from the Bible.

“(4) Did Joseph Smith hand over a marked-up Bible to Oliver Cowdery when he came to the biblical quotations in the Book of Mormon?

Oliver Cowdery’s misspellings tell us that the answer is no. Joseph Smith dictated the biblical quotations, just like all the rest of Book of Mormon.

(5) When Joseph Smith produced his “New Translation” of the Bible in 1831-33 (now known as the Joseph Smith Translation), did he hand over a copy of the 1830 edition to the scribe to correct the biblical text from?

In this case, we have clear evidence that this is precisely what Joseph Smith did (unlike what he did when he dictated the Book of Mormon text in 1828-29). There is at least one clear case of this procedure, and perhaps others as well.” (Emphasis mine)

These facts don’t remove the problem or even answer it, but complicate it further. Consider these aspects as well:

“(8) Do anachronistic elements show up in the King James biblical quotations?

Yes*. For instance, there are mistakes in translation, such as “instead of a girdle, a rent” (Isaiah 3:24, quoted in 2 Nephi 13:24), where rent is an error for rope (thus “instead of a belt, a rope”). In addition, there are cultural translations (that is, translations that made the reading understandable to Early Modern English speakers), but which were nonetheless wrong, such as “do men light a candle?” (Matthew 5:15, quoted in 3 Nephi 12:15), which should read “do men light a lamp?”*

(9) How do we deal with the problem of more than one Isaiah?

*Scholars have argued that Isaiah 40-55 was written by some unknown Second Isaiah who lived after the Jews were taken away into Babylonian captivity in 586 BCE, yet according to the Book of Mormon text this portion of Isaiah was on the plates of brass which Lehi and Nephi took away from Jerusal

In the song Saturday:

Interlude: Tyler Joseph & Jenna Joseph] “Workin' on music? Yeah I-I'll just go to bed, I'm tired I wanna watch Friends with you Oh, if you feel like you have time to do a song or you're inspired You should just go for it”

Was this a genuine interaction do you think, or scripted for the song? Sweet either way :) thought it was a nice touch

Mr. Gervais to give us a look back at the Knight's of the Old Republic games that doubles as very through interrogation the book Hero of a Thousand Faces and the worldview of the worldview of it's author.

I also recommend watching his previous video that at the Dark Forces games/Jedi Knight games. If you have any nostalgia for those games and have been disillusioned with the state of Star Wars recently, I think these two videos can help wash that taste out of your mouth

Joseph got the idea of eternal marriage from the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg when, in 1842, just a year before Joseph claimed the idea of "celestial marriage" as his own, Joseph married his ~13th wife (Sarah Kingsley Cleveland) who was a Swedenborg follower and also married to a Swedenborg follower when she met Joseph. Swedenborg was immensely popular in his time (though it took time for the teachings to get from Sweden to America)-- he had published his ideas of “celestial marriage” and “three degrees of celestial glory” being like the “sun, moon, and stars” several decades before (as early as 1749), and these ideas were also summarized in Sibly’s Complete Illustration of the Occult Sciences, which was known to be in a library near the Smith home, and Joseph himself acknowledged belief in Swedenborg’s teachings. The Sibly book was also the influence for the Smith family "magic parchments," the idea of visitations from good angels, Joseph's Jupiter Talisman that he wore, the symbols and instructions for mystical treasure seeking that Joseph used, the seer stone, copper plates, and the inspiration for some Book of Mormon names. Swedenborg's book "Heaven and the World of Spirits and Hell from Things Heard and Seen" is featured prominently in the Netflix film.

Nesta semana, um conjunto de SSM do evento "SF in SF", em que GRRM foi entrevistado pelo ilustrador John Picacio, com uma sessão de perguntas e respostas no fim.

Conversa com Picacio

Martin comentou a muito conhecida história de que Fogo & Sangue surgiu dos pequenos textos que ele estava escrevendo para complementar O Mundo de Gelo e Fogo. Mas nesta entrevista, George deixa claro que o timing da publicação do livro não foi tão espontâneo. O texto estava parado há alguns anos, mas, quando a HBO começou a planejar as prequels, os editores pediram que Martin terminasse o livro para que servisse de fonte para a HBO.

Falando sobre Wild Cards, George comenta que é interessante que Wild Cards e Watchmen (quadrinos de Alan Moore) tenham saído na mesma época, tivessem premissas parecidas, mas tenham seguido caminhos opostos. Watchmen explora o heroísmo de gente ordinária (sem poderes, exceto Dr. Manhattan), enquanto Wild Cards explora a banalidade da vida de gente extraordinária.

Falando sobre a adaptação de Nightflyers para a TV, ele disse que não tinha nenhuma participação ou poder. GRRM comentou que Hollywood é refratária a dar poder. Preferem lhe dar dinheiro ou "influência" (que é apenas lhe ouvir).

George também contou uma anedota velha, sobre ele ter participado da primeira Comic Con de todos os tempos (segundo ele), que aconteceu em 1964 em Manhattan, organizada por um fã chamado Len Wein. Mas aqui eu ouvi pela primeira vez Martin dizer que ele foi a primeira pessoa a se inscrever na Con, o que torna ele o membro nº 1 da primeira Comic Con.

Perguntas e respostas

A maior parte dessas perguntas se tornaram clássicos recentes do fandom, muito debate acontece e acontecerá sobre elas. Um detalhe especial é que muitas delas foram feitas por youtubers famosos no fandom (não vou perder tempo nomeando cada um, no entanto).

A primeira foi sobre se Oberyn estava tentando replicar sua família em suas filhas com Ellaria Sand (Elia, Dorea, Obella, Loreza). Há o nome da irmã, a versão feminina do nome do irmão, a versão feminan de seu próprio nome e a Loreza. Daí perguntou se Loreza era o nome da mãe de Oberyn e Doran. E se não fosse, qual era o nome dela.

GRRM respondeu que não a fã com certeza havia pensado mais sobre o assunto do que ele. Ele deu a volta explicando que (1) tem uma biblioteca de livros de "Que nome dar ao seu bebê", (2) foi adepto da regra de não ter personagens cujo nome começasse com a mesma letra, (3) pega alguns significados daquele

The hosts of No Small Thing podcast interview Lisa & Joseph on dreams, gender, fatherhood, and a bunch of Jungian ideas.

“As friends, Scott and Macie became notorious for having long-winded, meandering, *seemingly* pointless conversations. They quickly realized that they needed a place to host their earnest musings formally, and so, because we all live in a post-Serial world, they started a podcast. After a few months of recording, an actual mission of sorts started to emerge. What may have appeared on the surface to be just two friends having “pointless conversations,” underneath it all was a sense of purpose.”

“We are huge fans of This Jungian Life! It’s a podcast where three Jungian analysts talk about life, dreams, and how we grow! We think paying attention to dreams is an excellent way to cultivate curiosity and this crew is some of the best in the game in terms of giving people the tools they need to learn from their dreams! We are so excited to share this conversation with you and hope for many more to come!”

Hey all, it's time for another track dig post!

Recently I came across this pretty excellent cover of a popular Haitian song, and I'm really digging the world-music-meets-deep-house vibe. Does anyone have examples of tracks that are similar in concept?
