Ok, I appreciate the answers. I'm at Galaxycon with one of my kids, and I guess I've lived in a bubble for a while, because this is the first time I've seen a large gathering of furries.

Pine Cone Jones posted:No, but like anything else people are involved in, people gently caress. bring out the charts and/or graphs featuring fun SOAN jargon (even in context, "recruiting furries" and "furry informants" will never not be funny) it's maybe less "because sex stuff" and more "often as a means of sexual expression, in a clearly signaled community"

Come watch the SAW PPV. I'm the only GiP wrestler on the roster at the moment and in a 3 on 1 handicap match with some damned skeletons. https://twitch.tv/tha_swizzler For those that have no idea what it is, they make create-a-wrestlers based on poster's avatars. It's all AI vs AI. It's dumb but a lot of fun.

Yeah Glory is by far the winner. I think the only three good Civil War movies are Glory (top by far, and great across the board), Gone With the Wind (mostly for it's role in cinema history, despite romanticizing the south), and Lincoln (only for Daniel Day Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones, because the Spielberg Schmaltz is super cloying).

I inherited a DVD of Gone with the wind from my Grandfather. I put the wrong side on first and thus enjoyed a dramatic, punchy film that started with a gripping cold opening panning across a sea of wounded soldiers.

We've gotten several ahistorical or barely historical films about the fun involved in massacring Nazis. I want my Reb-stomping Civil War action movies. And no, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter does not count.

One of the fine folks in the BSS Newspaper Comics megathread has been posting old comic scans and occasionally posts other delightful mid 20th century newspaper clippings. I read this and immediately wondered which of us time traveled from 1954: Selachian posted:

This is my favourite letter to the editor. It's from early in the Land wars (1863) in NZ when the English were panicking since most of the army was a hemisphere away. The idea of attempting to move through subtropical rainforest with a 9 foot pike is beyond ludicrous to me. Or the idea that the Maori would come out to play with such a formation.

I mean, the TLDR version is all you really need. just goes to show that 'helpful' suggestions from know-it-alls aren't a new thing. Lad genuinely thinks a book he read on the 1798 rising in Ireland is going to help win a war that couldn't be more different.

In which the book specifically (The Killer Angels) was sooooooooooooo much better than the movie. I've also been watching a bunch of Equalizer clips of Denzel and am now realizing he was 68 when he shot Equalizer 3. I think he said he's doing Black Panther 3, King Lear and then Othello and retiring and may he live to be 120. SquirrelyPSU fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Dec 28, 2024 |

fknlo posted:They fired a bunch of nuke scientists today and then had to unfire them after they figured out the DOE dealt with nukes. I had a real good run at moderated sobriety before this weekend. Moderated to the equivalent of a beer or two or no booze at all on weeknights since xmas. And kept having activity-filled days and limited booze on weekend days because I had to meet social commitments or work on monday. I can't raw-dog reality anymore. I can't try to be mostly sober while stupid people drunk on ideology play fast and loose with planet-ending violence machines. MAD assumes both parties understand MAD. MAD assumes both parties are rational, or at least very strongly prefer not to find out how serious the other side is about nuclear retaliation. I don't have faith the US government is rational anymore and it scares the everloving gently caress out of me. But it'll all be OK. This bowl of weed and that microwave full of mini-corndogs await. Then sleep. Then whatever fresh hell tomorrow brings.

In honor of St Patrick's day I'm drinking NA Guinness and also getting high as balls. First thought of the night: We all mocked George Lucas for opening the long-awaited new Star Wars movies with some bullshit about negotiating commerce with an evil Trade Federation. But that movie was released months before the Battle of Seattle. Before that event, the IMF and WTO were barely known outside leftist and conspiracy circles. So either that's a hell of a coincidence or Lucas was plugged into some unexpected poo poo.

I was thinking about Soviet and Empire satires of Russian bureaucracy. Then I got to thinking about English or American satires like the Infocom game “Bureaucracy”, and how we haven’t had a good one in decades. We lost. We think that spending half our time filling out forms is just normal and natural like norovirus. Just gotta live with it. Used to laugh at the stupidity of the bureaucrats but now we feel like the stupid ones because we get run around a million different things and ways and go back to the end of the line you were supposed to fill out 1173/B not 1137/B. The suits won.
