@seizuresalad Bacchus is a boy in Feast of the gods and isn’t wearing blue - so you didn’t recall crap other than reading peoples social media and not understanding it. The feast of Dionysus is the painting you are trying to act like you “remember”. Neither explain the start of the scene…
Despite my better judgement, I watched the 'Last Supper' clip from the opening ceremonies that everyone was outraged about.
One thing that was bugging me: "why tf is Bacchus in front of the Last Supper? That doesn't even make any sense."
I recalled a painting from my many art history studies in college called "The Feast of the Gods" by Jan Harmensz van Biljert which depicts the banquet of the Olympian gods, with Bacchus in the foreground and Apollo with a gold halo around his head in the center, painted in 1635.
There's even a child in this painting, which is one of the things so many were furious about.
So which is more likely - the committee wanted to give the middle finger to 2.4 billion Christians, which is suicide from a PR perspective, or they opted to leverage inspiration from a work which is relevant to the history of the Olympics themselves?
Now, the execution of this performance was a bit gaudy and not what I'd consider appropriate for the event, but everyone jumping to to Da Vinci based solely on composition (figures seated at a long table) and not the thematic elements of the work is honestly hilarious and pretty on-brand for social media.
That being said, can we focus on the athletes now, please? They've worked their whole lives for this and are being overshadowed by engagement-seeking dopamine junkies.
@Animeisawesom14@flushingitgolf@livgolf_league@JCBGolfCC@SharkGregNorman If you watch the broadcast- it’s pretty clear the answer to question 1 is not many…there can’t be even 5k people at the course- the problem with any shot anytime is they can’t hide the lack of fans behind “sold out” and camera angles….
Sometimes, I think it gets overlooked just how quickly the professional golf world has changed and how much LIV have achieved in such a short period of time.
If you said at the start of 2022, that in just 2 and a half years, a golf league would come along that would rival the PGA Tour, have teams in matching uniforms with staff and general managers, junior foundations set up in their name, a sold out crowd, a title sponsor, team branded grandstands, an app that shows “any shot, any time” for free, a roster of household names and an entire feeder system that continues to grow. Not many would have believed you.
It’s exceptional really.
@NotKelseySmith@ElieNYC Their society is currently in the worst decline in the western world….what exactly could we learn beyond what NOT to let happen?
If I'm reading the reports right, it appears the French did some French shit and a bunch of middle-state American are like "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" while a bunch of coastal Americans are responding accurately with "It's France?"
@WatchTheSlide@ZealouslyQuoted@JustinBerkobien Why are you triggered by other people?
Ask yourself.
It's because you don't know yourself or the REAL God/ spiritual source. If you did, you wouldn't be in this place.
It's weird,tbh.
I will pray for your soul.
@jamesgunter_ You’d think they would get the correct number of people right if that had been the target. Not hard to have 13 in the frame instead of 18.
U.S.: ThE fReNcH mOcKeD tHe LaST sUpPeR
Olympics: hey this is actually about Greek gods, ya know… cause this the Olympics…
U.S.: you’re lying! you are evil and pushing a satanic agenda
France: okay, USA. You do you.
@BluebelleSmurft@ZealouslyQuoted@JustinBerkobien Any yet you keep doing it and trying to prove something…something that isn’t true like you have a degree or you died and came back or you are right…give it up- I don’t believe you beyond believing you are crazy
@thescottbarber No one said persecution but stop acting like they weren’t mocking the beliefs of 2.4 B people they also constantly whine to about exclusion and wanting acceptance….guess that isn’t happening anytime soon
@WatchTheSlide@ZealouslyQuoted@JustinBerkobien And Beyond-
But- Those who are intelligent don't have to prove themselves to the unintelligent. I have zero to prove to you. Why are you posturing? What do you bring to my enlightenment or education? Unless I can learn from you-
Then, you are either unworthy or a trap.
Cope.
@Pol_Down_South@newvangelicals True. The official Olympic Games account here describes it this way: “The interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus makes us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings.”
Maybe the reason the world doesn’t take us seriously is because it’s not genocide, poverty, hate or greed that gets American Christians mad…
It’s this….
@BluebelleSmurft@ZealouslyQuoted@JustinBerkobien Yeah right - zero chance someone as bad at communicating as you has a graduate degree in anything
….plus having to keep saying it shows it’s not true
@WatchTheSlide@ZealouslyQuoted@JustinBerkobien You don't know what a word salad is, evidently.
I can't give you 30!hours beyond my Masters in Communication Disorders - that's gonna take actual effort from you to learn the definition.
But I'm quite sure you rely on a Google degree. Watch a. Few YouTube videos?
Pathetic.
@USBornNRaised@JillianMichaels Nothing - it was an example of a producer putting his own wants and beliefs above the accomplishments of the athletes that the world was supposed to be celebrating…
@JillianMichaels I'm still wondering what this Olympic opening had to do with sportsmanship and years of dedication it took for these athletes to excel in their field.
Dear fellow gays… We demand tolerance and respect but then make a mockery of something sacred for over 2 billion Christians. This type of hypocrisy and lack of understanding is a bad look. We get outraged when the extreme right bashes us, but then we do this shit. What kind of reaction do you think they will have towards the LGBTQ+ community after this. This is NOT how we break down barriers it’s how you build them.
@WatchTheSlide@ZealouslyQuoted@JustinBerkobien I won..
Still you cry.
And you flip the script like a typical narcissist.
I love Jesus and not once said a thing that wasn't historically or spiritually correct.
