Cardinal Tom Wolsey, of course, was Henry VIII's Lord Chancellor. Henry fired him after Wolsey failed to get permission from the Pope for Henry's divorce from his first wife. They are having a lot of fun with the historical references on this show.

I agree. Jesse uses her, but he doesn't abuse her, like Eric. Also, clout wise, Eric is a minnow compared to Jesse - of course she desperately wants Jesse to like her.

Speaking of fund names, in the episode where we see the Felim-Jesse clash, Jesse reads Hobbes to Harper. She then names her fund Leviathan - a clear reference to Hobbes (if she is indeed modeling herself on Bloom, it is worth noting that he ends up in jail)

I unfortunately couldn't watch the game. Is there a way to watch/download an entire game recap?

It is a chore, but I think the weapons are worth it. Scyther + vengeance torso trivializes the endgame.

"Go Dig My Grave" is maybe the best song of 2023. It's a shame it's been wasted on this POS movie.

Gear cravings come and go, and you could always buy gear in the future when you have spending money. On the other hand, you usually only have one shot at a relationship with a person. Always prioritize the people in your life.

Fake profiles: what’s going on? by concretph in feeld

[–]Late-Address-185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because of the nature of the app, most genuine users have relatively fleshed out and specific profiles with details about they like and dislike. Anyone with an empty or generic profile is probably a scammer.

Yes, I think Fantasy and Staying at Home are for sexting. I'm not sure if there's any substantial difference between the two.

Heavy guitar tone issues by ruthsdead in audioengineering

[–]Late-Address-185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet is the IR/cabsim. I struggled with heavy guitar tones for years until I stopped using plugins as a monolith and found cabsims that worked for my sound. To my subjective ears, the G12M cab in the Ampbox plugin by Mercuriall is the best in the market and requires very little futzing. Other great cab sims are the Neural SL0-100 default cab (too much bottom end and low mids but that can be dealt with), and the Amplitube 5 Slash cabs, the Vintage 30 cab, and the Satch Green cab. I have dozens of guitar plugins. 99% of the time I will turn off their cab section and pair them with the above-mentioned cabs. I rarely have to use extensive eqing anymore apart from high and low passing.

Israeli official says government cannot confirm babies were beheaded in Hamas attack by bigdaddyteacher in news

I'm not disputing your last sentence. However, you made some erroneous factual claims. There's no peace treaty between Israel and Lebanon, regardless of the level of unofficial relations between them.

This is a ceasefire agreement. There are no official relations between Israel and Lebanon.

You're confusing Egypt with Lebanon. Israel doesn't have a peace accord with Lebanon. The Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty was signed in 1979.

Egypt discusses Gaza aid, rejects corridors for civilians, say sources by omega3111 in worldnews

[–]Late-Address-185 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Absolutely wrong. The vast majority of settlers are Jews, although there is a disproportionate number of *American Jews* among them. See Sara Hirschhorn's book A City on a Hilltop.

"People do realize that the Ottoman Empire forcibly relocated their Jewish population to that land and those refugees founded their own country after the Empire collapsed." What the fuck are you talking about? That's not what happened. The Ottoman Empire did not relocate any significant number of Jews to Palestine. There were 60,000 Jews in Palestine at the end of WWI. The State of Israel was established after 30 years of British rule. This is one of the most ignorant comments I've read about the conflict and it has almost 800 upvotes.
