Let me guess, what an engineer considers to be simple mechanical actions are not what the general public does

You think that’s bad try some cream of mushroom. I swear some cans didnt even have anything in them after straining

Yeah it’s actually nice there’s no porn on it. It’s all skill

Oh hell yeah that sounds good

It’s funny how it’s so geographically close to the excellent Dayton style pizza

Catholicism is maximalist goth. Like I’ve seen people who didnt grow up catholic not understand that fiction like The Locked Tomb isn’t even really parodying it, gilded skulls and enshrined viscera is just part of it.

I don’t see why there’s speculation here. Sandals worn by a saint while preaching would be a second class relic. People are really caught up on the “gamer” part.

Any wat in which 1 and 3 are not in contact with each other. Lines work. 2 being double thickness and 1 and 3 having depth separation works.

Gears are really simple and absolutely something more people should understand

They very well may be. And with a company like Siemens the branding can build brand recognition and indicate quality. Maybe you aren’t buying an MRI but if you have to buy industrial equipment or specialty electronics you’re gonna run into them sometimes

Sometimes you only want to make one trip but you need a cell phone, building systems control system, and a motor for your electric locomotive. Siemens understands and the got you.

I only know one millennial Karen and she’s cool as all hell.

The generational divide is the point though. The archetypal Karen is a gen x woman being really entitled to a gen z service worker

Oh yeah ironically I think the lectures are even more important to do the story justice in a filmed medium. The comic keeps demanding you turn your brain on but people resist that in movies and movies (and tv) struggle to get people interacting critically with themes. The movie’s cultural impact was politically confused when you could do a voice over of him explaining anarchism during one of the scenes, a montage, or broken up throughout the “The Land of Do-As-You-Please” section of the story or in Evie’s lessons.

I don’t think it would’ve been super popular among audiences or the production company, but it would’ve been really hammering in the themes and points that the comic was appropriately heavy handed with.

I didn’t watch the movie but I found the political lectures from V to be very fitting. Yeah it’s preachy from Moore, but it’s Moore and V saying “hey, V isn’t an anarchist because he kills fascists and breaks laws, anarchism is an ideology and he’s clinging to it as the opposite of fascism”

Steven Prothero Miller

But fr I don’t care if he plays with dolls. My beef is with how he treats humans

I highly recommend it. I never saw the movie but I’ve heard the differences described as the movie is about the bush administration vs the anti war movement while the book is a very British story about British fascism vs British anarchism. It’s not afraid to acknowledge the diversity of victims of fascism and it’s not afraid to call fascists losers with weird relationships to sex (sex is a major theme of the book).

Alan Moore is a master of his craft, and his craft is left wing comics. There’s a reason a large portion of left wing men are die hards about Watchmen. Vandetta is clearly his first big project, but it hits like a truck and has scenes that stick with you.

It’s definitely a book to be aware of political and literary themes in. It’s not a story about a noble hero fighting powerful villains. It’s a story about someone who’s been psychologically broken taking revenge because his fellow victims can’t, against weird evil freaks like goebbels, as he tries to help someone who grew up in this world.

Also Moore’s forward provided helpful context

It’s V for Vandetta. Spoilers ahead

But yeah highly recommend reading the comics. It’s a really good take for a series from the 80s exploring what British fascism would look like.

A pdf larger than Austria… I assume just geographical area not surface area though

It’s why I prefer trains. That and once you experience good public transit it’s really nice.

I think it may just be the justice department doing its job beneath the radar. I’ve had to do ADA reports before, they’re very much a bureaucratic thing

It’s become a go to frothing at every tragedy. It can only lead to bloodshed. Fortunately we’re expendable if you pretend we aren’t full human beings with rich inner lives.
