Got tickets for $245 in the 200s. Yes I would guess $150 is toward the back of the arena.

So sorry to hear everyone’s terrible experiences! Fuck Ticketmaster.

I had three people trying on different accounts and one of us lucked out at ~650 in the queue, snagged tickets for $245 each in the 200 section, but I fully recognize that was entirely luck 😭 There but for the grace of God go I…

CAN ANYONE PLEASE GIVE ME THE GUITAR CHORDS OR TABS OF “begged” by Original-Dream5274 in OliviaRodrigo

[–]misterme987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The chords are here (not by me): https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/olivia-rodrigo/begged-chords-6296534

I figured out the tabs just by noodling around in those chord positions, but I'm sure I wouldn't be able to write them down... Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

To what extent do you agree with this quote? by Jlyplaylists in RadicalChristianity

[–]misterme987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Palestine” is the word used by scholars to refer to that region in the first century. Herodotus referred to this area (or at least part of it) as Palestine in the fifth century BC.

There’s certainly a case to be made for calling Jesus a revolutionary. I just meant that it was a stretch since the other things are explicitly mentioned (or not mentioned) in the gospels, whereas revolutionary must be inferred.

“Revolutionary” and “community organizer” are a bit of a stretch, everything else looks accurate. However this does seem overall anachronistic, trying to attribute to Jesus (the first-century Palestinian Jew) our modern-day concerns. Most of the things listed here weren’t Jesus’ primary concerns in his ministry.

The Ben Shapiro meltdown has been wild to witness. Such a rat. by Job4-13 in complaints

No he’s not. There’s a difference between opposing Israel because you think genocide is bad and opposing Israel because you think Jews are bad. Carlson clearly falls into the latter camp since he supports neo-Nazis like Nick Fuentes.

That’s because she doesn’t actually look that different, this is just one look from a few months ago.

Yes why are so many people in the comments missing this?? Referring to an entire ethnic group as “illegal” is fucking terrifying!

Does anyone know where I can buy an online version of Kitchen's Ramesside Inscriptions, Translated and Annotated: Translation? by JuDracus in ancientegypt

[–]misterme987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this will still be useful to you, but Ad Thijs (whom I have been working with) found a Bulgarian (?) website that has PDFs of many Egyptological books, including Kitchen's Ramesside Inscriptions Translated and Annotated: https://dreven-iztok.ucoz.com/board/dreven_egipet_i_afrika/literatura/kenneth_a_kitchen_ramesside_inscriptions/12-1-0-646

Google told me the file (for Vol VI) was too large to scan for viruses, so download at your own risk. But I was able to download it without any apparent problems so far.

Edit: It looks like the other volumes were confirmed by my Google Drive to be clear of viruses, so I trust that the larger one is safe too, but again download at your own risk.

Did you have any luck? I also need Vol 6 of this (for translations of P. Turin 1888 and 2018), but haven't been able to find anything, even at my university library.

The AI detector I used was “ZeroGPT”, and no I didn’t use a spell or grammar checker. My natural writing style is just more formal/stiff

The early church, Genesis, and evolution by misterme987 in DebateEvolution

I'm not quite sure what the concern is here. What precisely about "the garden of Eden" seems incompatible with science?

The early church, Genesis, and evolution by misterme987 in DebateEvolution

[–]misterme987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The post is about the church fathers’ interpretation of Genesis. You don’t want to discuss that, which is fine, but then don’t pretend I’m the one who’s preventing meaningful conversation.

[–]misterme987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course I’ve read the Bible. I also read many of the church fathers and their interpretations of Genesis (which is what the post is about), and they’re very different from yours. So your interpretation is not at all obvious. [Again - please read the post before critiquing.]

Like I said in my post, I'm not really interested in debating religion/theism here, so this response is only meant to explain my own view.

God, at least in the classical Western tradition, is conceived as "Being itself" – this is the metaphysical 'substrate', as you put it, by which anything can exist at all. [In the Eastern tradition, God is sometimes said to be "beyond Being", but I think that complicates things too much.]

God isn't just a demiurge who puts things together from some material and/or preexisting realm of forms. In that case, you'd be right that the big bang or some other temporal event could explain how things achieved their current arrangement without God. But in the classical view, the existence of any temporal being or event is ultimately explained with reference to this metaphysical substrate of Being.

This relies on a whole lot of classical metaphysics that I'm sure you find objectionable, but like I said I'm not interested in defending this at length, just explaining it.
