  • The English Bible itself is a translation. It didn't say John in the originals.

    The name is ultimately derived from the Biblical Hebrew name יוחנן (pronounced [joχanan]), short for יהוחנן (pronounced [jehoχanan]), meaning "God was merciful".

    It's dependent on the translation what they decide to use.

  • Ivan is the Slavic relative of the Latin name Johannes, corresponding to English John and originates from New Testament Greek Ἰωάννης (Iōánnēs). The Greek name is in turn derived from Hebrew יוֹחָנָן (Yôḥānān), meaning "YHWH (God) is gracious". The name is ultimately derived from the Biblical Hebrew name יוחנן (pronounced [joχanan]), short for יהוחנן (pronounced [jehoχanan]), meaning "God was merciful". Common patronymics derived from the name are Ivanović (Serbian and Croatian), Ivanov (Russian and Bulgarian), and Ivanovich (Russian, used as middle name), corresponding to "Ivan's son".

  • That's what the title of the post implies. It's a problem away from home.

  • What are you just a walking meme parrot? Are you a bot? How is this a leopard face eating thing when there's millions of people who didn't vote for this and are afraid to get deported from the country they were born in. Either you still think it's their fault for the way they were born or you don't understand that the particular idiom refers to people who decided their own fates by choosing to hang out with leopards.

  • I think people are starting to understand what ultra processed foods inherently taste like. Salty but uniformly bland. I think people are understanding how they feel after eating them too.

  • I only want to know gore/nsfl. otherwise im on the internet and i know what community im on.

  • Yep I grew up on amazing reruns of tv from wayyyyy before my time. It's hard for me to find it to watch today. And surely my kids will not even have the opportunity. The thought kills me.

    I think the BBC or CBC archives are interesting. It's also interesting to hear about what they lost due to lack of preservation from previous times.

  • Sometimes I think with the way everything is being digitized but how you need to pay to store it... That likely we're losing more cultural content today than ever before. Just think about all the tv shows from the 90s you can't watch anymore. No dvd, no stream, just ... Forgotten. Some things we produce today don't even have a physical tangible form unless you're talking about some hard drive in the cloud.

    It also gives me a sense of existential dread. Or the sense of permanent loss.

  • Specifically my report from 2006 notes a lack of critical studio and manufacturer support for HDDVD. To create the bluray standard, many studios and manufactures worked together to create the format, where HD-DVD had a much smaller group of people onboard from the get-go.

    Additionally, the sony support of BluRay in the PS3 at effectively no cost to the consumer meant that such a large population would have the required equipment on hand.

    Blurway also had a higher density disc, which was critical to the longevity of the platform.

    My report didnt actually cover licensing, so i am definitely mis-remembering on that.

  • I did a university report on BluRay vs hddvd and successfully called the winner based on the vhs/beta case.

    Essentially your point 1 affected the indie film and porn industry which struggled to afford or obtain a license. Turns out those industries were key adopters.

  • Have your browser delete all cookies after you close it. It's easier. You can add exceptions too.

  • US T-Bills only.

  • I like em cuz you get a bunch of character backstory, motivation, and psychology. Like even Picard the leader and odo the fearless have people they run from.

    Personally I liked DS9 for the humanizing aspects of the series. In TNG the crew were put on pedestals. Paragons of the alpha quadrant. In ds9 characters were inherently flawed and the more you watched the more real they got.

    I think moving from a purely episodic TNG to a more arching series like DS9 made these "filler" episodes more valuable to the series.

  • Collectively getting everyone to do something is the antithesis of simple.

  • Ok well I'm not being ironic... I've been doing it my whole life. I'll just miss out on shit forever tho. Like I'm doing it with everything. So it's just pure denied experiences left and right. I just don't think it's as simple as that. Even tho I do it in principle it's disingenuous to say it's as "simple" as that.
