@lettuce_isgood @valigo Besides address math (which is mostly opaque anyways), what are some instructions that don't have a BE equivalent? MOVBE is technically indistinguishable from a big-endian MOV.

@awwright @valigo Having a single instruction that is a MOV with a BSWAP doesn’t make x86 bi-endian, because x86 is little endian. It’s a special instruction for a specific purpose.

Kinda crazy how little-endian CPUs won, but then network stuff and major binary formats are big-endian. So we are all sentenced to reverse bytes forever.

@lettuce_isgood @valigo That's what I'm saying. People say x86 is little endian because it used to only read ints as little endian, but times change and that hasn't been true for a decade now.

@awwright @valigo Endianness refers to byte ordering in memory not registers. You know what the benefit of little endian is right

@TW0HEADEDBEAST He's invited, not crashing

that pizza will kill you if you try to eat it because it's RAW in the middle a "thin crust pizza" does NOT do that Ramsay only crashes out because these restaurants blatantly violate health standards and will 100% kill someone by serving them garbage

@OnDisasters If planes could honk you'd hear that one for miles

On Tuesday, February 25, 2025, at Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW), a Southwest Airlines pilot successfully averted a collision with a private business jet by promptly aborting their landing.

@RobMooney486422 @MichaelsRosary @PopePiusIXStan "Church of ..." is not quite the same. "Nintendo of America" isn't a second Nintendo, it's Nintendo's presence in North America. I still find it odd but it's not what I'm arguing against.

@awwright @MichaelsRosary @PopePiusIXStan I disagree. There is a church of Philadelphia and a church of Smyrna. They're all part of the Body of Christ, the one Church.

The Catholic Church’s official name is the Catholic Church. The Roman or Latin Church is the largest of the 24 Catholic Churches, and its head is the universal head of the church. Since most Catholics are Roman Catholic, most people just say Roman Catholic Church. But to be Catholic does not necessarily mean one is Roman or Latin.

@maa_bhaishiiH If tariff is French for tax, what do you call a tariff?

RSVP is French for “Répondez s'il vous plaît” which means “respond, please” and literally means “Respond, if it pleases you”. English uses lot of French phrases verbatim. Some of them are : 1. Faux pas (false step) 2. Quelle surprise (what a surprise) 3. À la carte (by the menu card) 4. Bon appétit (good appetite) 5. Résumé (summary) 6. Fait accompli (thing done / done deal) 7. En route (on the way) 8. déjà vu (I have already seen) 9. Au contraire (on the contrary) 10. Enfant terrible (disruptive child) 11. Touché (valid) 12. Voila (there it is) 13. C'est la vie (that is life) 14. Coup d'état (strikeout of the state) 15. Raison d'être (reason to be) 16. Tour de force (feat of strength) 17. Vis-a-vis (face to face) 18. M’aidez (help me) - distress mayday signal 19. Double entendre (double meaning) 20. laissez-faire (allow to do)

@oubagaku It's usually the one your brain wants to learn

I always have a Japanese phrase that gets stuck in my head and keeps repeating on loop. currently, it is "見れば分かる", previously it was "見たことがない"

@godspeed_aflame What part is inconsistent? The point of the parable is you have a greater duty to help the people who are closest to your help. You save the child drowning next to you and you preach the gospel in foreign countries; not the other way around.

Christ’s gospel was so radical, so contrary to the wisdom of the world, that people are still coping 2000 years later, insisting that he didn’t actually mean what he said.

That's not a useful definition of "denomination." The most useful definition is any hierarchy of parishes within the Church not accountable to the others (including "non-denominational" ones). Since 1965 the Pope counts Orthodox as such a denomination. (Being "in communion" is not sufficient, you must be unified under the same authority.)

@awwright @PopePiusIXStan Denominations are Protestant. They are churches part of the capital C Church. If you don’t like calling them “churches” then say different “rites” within the Catholic Church. They are churches because they have their own patriarchs and canon law, etc. but subject to the pope.

@TheBabylonBee This but unironically, if sabbath is Saturday why is it closed Sunday?

New Seventh-Day Adventist Chick-fil-A Closed Saturday, Open Sunday buff.ly/2C2Bh2U

I haven't heard that full name before but sure, it's not a unique problem. By way of another analogy; we don't use the Lord's given name often for the same reason, it would imply there's other "gods" when there's just the one. (Also partly because we only have the consonants for it and it makes for awkward English). The single word "Lord" suffices for the same reason the single word "Church" ought to suffice.

@awwright @IBF2002 @PopePiusIXStan I do want to point out that this heretical claim is a separate argument than the original points. Orthodox full name is orthodox catholic church because they believe in themselves to be the one true church. Even if catholics disagree with the claim, there's no name problem.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how many other ways to explain it; but Orthodox and many other denominations also profess faith in a Catholic Church and we should be united. Imagine if United Parcel Service split up into the "Original UPS" and the "United UPS" which would sometimes delivering packages for other UPSes e.g. "Mississippi UPS" and other times servicing the same neighborhoods, and other times denying their existence altogether, all while saying "we're a single UPS" That's the same problem.

@awwright @IBF2002 @PopePiusIXStan I'm not claiming it was a proper noun but rather that it was a functional qualifier (to distinguish against gnotisicism to my understanding). I don't follow how using catholic to distinguish from others is against accepted norms, standards, or dogma but is also a separate issue.

@patrickbutsmart @IBF2002 @PopePiusIXStan In particular, you should check your translation of Ignatius' letter; he used the lowercase kappa, he wasn't naming the church. If your translation is uppercasing Catholic, it's wrong.

@patrickbutsmart @IBF2002 @PopePiusIXStan For Ignatius to observe the church is catholic was correct. For successors to read that and choose that as a proper noun to distinguish from other types of "churches" like the Orthodox denomination is heretical. Catholic is a greek word, and the practice predates the observation.

You're welcome. Why would you dismiss the Old Testament, that's literally where the tradition comes from. There is no catholic body without Moses; Jesus is the new "King" and the Church is the new "Temple." That's Acts for you. I'm not talking about rites, I never even used that word. I'm talking about the denominations, also I'm suggesting don't qualify the word "Church" in your proper nouns.

@awwright @IBF2002 @PopePiusIXStan Thanks for the history lesson, but the Old Testament isn't relevant in this topic. If Catholic is by the adjectival, use 24 rites being universal under 1 makes sense. So, you conceeded your original comment. Catholic became a functionally qualifier in against heresy book 3 chpt 4

@UcheMaryOkoli @SolusNJesus You guys are arguing over a passover meal. That's literally what it is. He wasn't prescribing a new tradition, just practicing an existing one. Jesus said he was many things, the vines, the light, the gate. He wasn't tricking you into sinning—you're not drinking blood.

@SolusNJesus Jesus has commanded us to drink His Blood to gain eternal life

Symbols don't bleed. The Eucharist bleeds because it is Jesus Himself. The Eucharist is Jesus.

@AndrewMorr43728 @UcheMaryOkoli Didn't he also say he was light? And the vineyard? And doors? And truth? Maybe we can get a list of things that he is not, maybe that would be shorter

@UcheMaryOkoli I understand He said the bread is His flesh and the wine is His blood. When did He say the bread was His blood?

@RobMooney486422 @MichaelsRosary @PopePiusIXStan That's not my point at all. You have a store like "Walmart Supercenter #5522" and "walmart-the-place" and "walmart-the-corporation" are inarguably distinct things. You have the equivalent of multiple corporations all named Amazon and all delivering to the same neighborhood.

@awwright @MichaelsRosary @PopePiusIXStan That's not "muddying the language". Is my local Walmart, Walmart? The answer is yes. Is the worldwide corporation Walmart also Walmart? The answer is also yes. If you can't understand this I don't know how to help you.
