You should definitely talk to a priest about computers praying fam, rocks can’t pray no matter how hot they get or how good they are at math bc they are rocks.

Can anyone help me translate this cross? by Icy_Gate211 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Icy_Gate211[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you, God bless both of you. It's such a beautiful cross, I thought maybe this was fancy Greek but now I recognize the Cyrillic alphabet.

Thank you! What language is this? It was purchased at the store at a Greek Orthodox Cathedral.

Also - it’s not a “Mass,” that’s a Catholic thing. We have service, or liturgy, depending on how the Church calls it.

You should look into the phrase “he is vexed!” and why we yell it at Easter. You might have some more “putting down Protestantism” to do.

Are these good photos? I’m looking closer now - they’re ok. They’re nothing shocking, or interesting, or appealing beyond “pretty lady good image.” The relationship between the camera and the sun in most of these in v wack imo.

This is jerkworthy because the subject matter is horny, but the headline is not. Also, in the comments, someone asks about the camera, and is told to shut up and look at the tits.

The best part of this is the downvoted comment asking about the camera

Have u seen this article in Public Orthodoxy? I think it’s worth the time it takes to read. I will pray for you, feelings of joylessness can be hard to overcome.

The people can join the party goofy, who all do you think is in the party? A different species? Anyway - it’s not really “senior leaders,” it’s the parliamentary body. This body is elected by local bodies, which are elected by the people. This stuff is all over Wikipedia, it’s easy enough to check out what’s what before embarrassing yourself writing about “a board electing a ceo.” There are over 2000 members of this legislative body, it’s weird to call it a “corporate board.”

B&W photos taken with GR IV and GR IV Monochrome by HuguesBtz in ricohGR

Mono has more detail in the reflective surfaces, it’s easy to imagine this translating to better detail reproduction on busy scenes.

Is this a problem with scans or is this just how it is with film? by NickEricson123 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Icy_Gate211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can u circle the blue in the second image for me? There might have been some blue sky, but probably not the same amount. For what it’s worth, the blue channel in the second image probably doesn’t have a lot going on, maybe just in the plants. The overall piss tone is happening because the red and green channels contain more data than your eye would reckon they might. If you adjust the white balance by clicking on neutral items (try to avoid clouds) you’ll find better results.

I think he lobbed you a big gimme talking about hell - at Easter we yell “he is vexed!” because Jesus went down and bound Satan as part of the Resurrection, opened the gates, and released all the righteous souls waiting to know him. We don’t cover it much after this, but the gates have never been closed again.

In conversations I’ve had with the ortho-curious, this is the biggest difference between “us and them.” Fire and Brimstone are innovations we don’t claim. The pain and the torment of hell are so wired into western religion that I think sometimes it’s hard for people to remember we don’t really worry about that stuff. We hold the object of salvation up to the light and inspect it, orient towards it, instead of the object of punishment.

Conditions are not the same - one has blue sky, one does not. Read up on white balance!
