TFW your monotheistic God is actually just three polytheistic gods hiding in a raincoat
Why is "Elohim" conjugated plural. What's the cover story on that one
One of the tragic things about having studied theology is that you learn all these absolutely wonderful words you will never ever be able to use in conversation, not even if you're talking about religion

"henotheism"
"hermeneutic"
"teleology"
"Henotheism" is SUCH a great word? Especially because the H is silent so it sounds like it's supposed to be the theology of Brian Eno
If Emma Watson waves a wand and yells this, what happens

Ohhhhkay

I'd like to talk about this news article from Sunday with an eye-catching headline, and what the things described in it do and don't mean.

Short version
1. what they describe is almost the worst thing a presidency could do
2. it's not everything
nytimes.com/2018/10/21/us/…
Two ground rules for understanding all this.

Rule 1: THERE IS NO DEFINITION OF GENDER IN UNITED STATES LAW. There is no one database everyone reads your gender from. Every part of the federal government, every state, every corporation has their own notion of "your gender".
This is normally very bad for trans people, because it means "fixing" one part of the federal government or one part of one state doesn't fix anything else. In this case it helps us, because *breaking* one thing doesn't *necessarily* break anything else.

OKAY SO THERE IS BIG NEWS ABOUT CHEATING AT VIDEO GAMES (a small thread)

So you might have heard about the A Button Challenge, where you try to play Mario 64 without pressing the A button

Attempts to achieve this have been taken to *incredible* lengths
Years of research and have reduced the number of A presses required to get all 120 stars to just, with an incredible amount of shenanigans, 27.

However, merely *beating the game* requires an infuriating… 1. They've optimized out every A press except one.
There's this one pole, in the unskippable Bowser in the Fire Sea level, and no one could figure out how to get past it without pressing A.

UNTIL THIS WEEK, THERE WAS A DISCOVERY.

one of the best things about having a floppy drive (or two) in your Windows 10 machine is that modern software isn't written for it, and loves to enumerate all the drives... which causes the floppy to try to spin up, making a noise. And it's always funny to me.
cause it always seems like the computer is going "well maybe it's on the floppy disk?" whenever I'm looking for a file.
Yeah, computer, maybe that torrent I downloaded IS on the floppy disk, that makes sense. Maybe that cellphone movie I just filmed is there too!
BECAUSE OF COURSE I FILM MY MOVIES TO FLOPPY

One of the annoying things about having memory problems is that sometimes I'll have an idea in my head, and I can't tell if I'm remembering someone else's idea, misremembering it, or it's actually original.
So the war comes, and we have to use mechanical exoskeletons to have any chance of fighting back. They're mind-linked, so you control them by just thinking of moving, and they learn from you to get better, predict your motions, and you become a better fighter.
at first you're just wearing it for when you go out on raids, or when you're on guard duty, but after so many surprise raids you end up wearing it all the time.

I'm rewatching Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, a show that I considered one of the best in the franchise. Will it hold up?

Ep 01 was well done, definitely a different feel.

I do realize one thing though. Gundam IBO straight up OWES Broken Blade OVA (2010). I'll explain.
I've written about this OVA back in the day: ghostlightning.wordpress.com/tag/break-blad…

What you'll find here that's the most striking is how the Broken Blade mecha is basically the template for Gundam Barbatos: it's a melee-only mecha that's upgraded with different melee weapons from time to time
While I hold the Broken Blade OVA to be more inventive and have better fights altogether, I don't think it takes THAT much away from what Gundam IBO was able to do. It doesn't have to work with BB's magic, muggles, and mecha setting. It's a try-hard grimdark Gundam show.

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.

How do we know Trump is running deception operations? Because he's already brought several to successful conclusions.

I discuss one of them here:

threadreaderapp.com/thread/9329449…
It's amazing how many reporters in the media, even after further details come out later, never go back & question the original cover story.

We now know Trump wanted Kelly as his Chief of Staff all along!
Here's another BIG detail we *now* know about that we didn't before the election last year: JARED KUSHNER was the *real* campaign manager, handling the strategy in deep background.
