Sure, but that could be said about any belief system depending on when you start the clock.
Not really? We don't have distinct points of creation for many faiths. With Wicca it can be set in a specific time and place. You aren't going to find Wiccans from 100 years ago.
Wicca is a blend of multiple different religious ideologies that existed in Europe at some point in the past. If you took someone from modern day Colchester in 200ce they might recognize parts of their ancestral faiths but parts will be from other tribes and peoples. Hence Wicca doesn't have an "authentic" set of beliefs as much as an intentionally created one.
They were like "How can we justify them having the place we know we need them to have?" and worked from there.
I know a guy living on Central Park West with 2000 sq ft two floor apartment with park views that was paying less than what I paid for 1k sq ft in the middle of Queens. That's a nicer place in a better area than Friends had for less than 3k a month thirty years after the show all because of rent control.
We know they all came from money except Joey and Phoebe. They could also be getting money from family.
Again their living room had to fit six or more. There are episodes where they have six people in Lucy’s house but rarely is it more than four or five.
Seinfeld had 4 main cast and they rarely had anyone else in their places other than the main 4. No one needed to fit a dozen people in a room.
Were you renting living space in NYC in 1994? I was.
Do you know anyone with a ridiculous place because of rent control policies? I know several. Everything about the show makes sense within the context of the time once you realize that eight or so people need to fit on the stage in many scenes
As a kid I asked a friend's dad who was a chemist if magic was real and he replied "Do you think anyone would go into years of schooling for engineering if a shortcut existed?"
It is a wholly constructed faith based partly on fragments of things that existed previously but with no input from those cultures so there's no "authentic" Wiccan beliefs other than those from the 1950s.
you think you know better than someone who worked on tv in NYC at that time?
Mary Tyler Moore's show never had the expectation of holding six or more people in the same room like friends.
All in the family took place in a house. Im not sure how you miss this. It's in the credits.
Lucy and her Husband never had more than a handful of people on screen at once. They dont need the space Friends does.
Friends needs a space for the main cast plus partners and that requires a larger space plus the ability to fit crew which requires large places. The bit about rent control makes perfect sense if you have experience with NYC real-estate.
OP said it was their “default response” which suggests this happens often which seems weird.
NP,I was told the same thing by a camera guy back in the late 1990s about this exact show.
Because the kind of guy that asks random people to prove their fandom probably does not have many close friends.
Some of that is due to the realities of filming in a stage made to look like an apartment as you need the space for the camera crew to fit. This everyone lives in massive places.
It just says "mod" so no. Im just wondering if it is a thing that happens by accident or if I did something that triggered it.
Literally all of your food and drinks in America are sold by the metric unit. That's why it is on the packaging. Your "fifth" of vodka is actually 750ml and is not 1/5 of a gallon.
It doesn't though? It just says "automod" as the reason for my ban and then that a mod reinstated me a few hours later.
Yesterday at 420pm Eastern Time I commented something banal and was banned from the server. This ban lasted a few hours. Any idea what happened?
It’s a huge assumption on your part that they believed it. It was and it remains an instrument of control. They took considerable editorial liberties, too, with the supposed word of god.
That is an equally large presumption. I happen to agree that some were more interested in control but many were believers.
Anyway, even if they believed it that is STILL NOT EVIDENCE
To them it is. Do you not get that they believe they have the words of their divine being in book form? If their faith is correct it would be proof.
I think that depends on the death. My other grandmother who died a decade or so had significant dementia and hadn't recognized me in two years despite weekly visits. By the time she died I had already mourned her loss.
They can be depending on your vision issues. Mine are essentially bifocals where the reading portion isn't visible. If I focus there's a tiny fuzzy line where the readers meet the normal lens.
To be honest I wasn't aware of the sides issue and it seems you might have different problem that requires a third lens.
The “joke” is they are a couple. They are not a couple because they are not gay. They are factually two men critical in targeting the LGBT+ population for abuse which makes this even worse IMO.
