the problem is a lot of them don't even see a problem with it. It reminds me truly of the flag-waving Nazi's in 1930 who supported Hitler, and the reasonably logic driven conservatives who felt Hitler was containable, controllable, and ultimately a puppet. Those conservatives might not have believed in Hitler's…

A larger hit, but the overall interest wasn't there say compared to real break outs like GoT or BB.

I sense that no matter how this turns out my netflix just got more expensive. Damn it Disney, you just got to own the whole world huh? Just bloody buy netflix and problem solved.

I don't know what is real any more and frankly I don't want to know.

now I can't speak for the movement as a whole, but every single libertarian I know is a member of 4chan, aggressively trolls both republicans and democrats (while pretending to be a democrat or republican), believes the number of fire arms they possess are capable of warding off tanks (I mean they said that they'll be…

jesus that was him? eugh… DC your choice in lead directors is baffling. Utterly baffling. Its like they said "hey who do we know who can bring comics to life, isn't taken by marvel, and will make our superhero films feel different" someone in the board room obviously saw some of snyders work and knew it'd be different…

though I do know a few dozen people who would be upset about the use of chinaman.

You hang out with assholes. I watch game of thrones and smoke and drink a shit ton with two friends. I'd never ruin the experience for them… like I watched last week's episode early and then also watched it on sunday. I almost enjoyed it even more knowing what was going to happen, and getting to watch them enjoy it.…

finding out some alt-right reddit Rick and Morty fan bought this would make perfect sense to me.

anything that has a longer than average "in-between" period tends to get blown up out of proportion. I mean, it happened to a lesser degree with Twin peaks. These shows tend to attract the hip crowd and grow beyond themselves. Thanks to Lynch Twin Peaks performs to standard, but shows like Sherlock, Rick and Morty,…

the amount of complaints over that episode. I just don't get it. I've just decided sharing my opinion over the internet is just a futile waste of effort. Like in the last hour. I wonder if my addiction to certain forms of entertainment will allow me to stay true to my pledge. This was not my opinion, wait… damn it.

So who cares what happens because of him, as long as he has fun? sounds like avclub to me.

I point out that the most enthusiastic source available for Sparta, Xenophon… has many of his basic societal descriptions validated by those that opposed him… and you think I'm just being dismissive? Eugh. Arguing history online is like scratching my nails across a chalkboard. Unproductive and annoying. This is the…

Initially, yes. But his approval ratings skyrocketed post Long Knives. Which is one of the things I mention in my very comment which gained him the trust of even a lot of his opponents. "Then along came Hitler with his Nazi party which terrified a lot of Germans. Yet he dismantled part of his own party which gained a…

Not playing this game. We have multiple corroborating accounts from both trading partners and a variety of enemies which match Xenophon's writings. While there is always skepticism and room for error. I feel pretty confident calling them an ancient form of fascist, for at the very least they were a dictatorship. …

sure, but the core concept of authoritative power based on in this case royalty/dictatorships is quite similar without being nationalistic (though I suppose you could make that argument with Sparta being nationalistic). Trying to debate which is more fascist is a pointless argument and a waste of time. I wouldn't say…

Hitler was an easy choice for most Germans. They were bankrupt, they were under assault ideologically from all the countries that had beaten them… they were a crumbling society. Then along came Hitler with his Nazi party which terrified a lot of Germans. Yet he dismantled part of his own party which gained a lot of…

Hey, trickle down is important for all of us. (Of course I assume this now involved golden showers more than finance)

You and Kirk give too much credit to people's memories. Frankly I blame Murdoch more than anyone because he at least realizes people are pretty fucking dumb… and just need a TV set with someone yelling at them over the problems they face. (Of course he is intensely involved in creating said problems but he doesn't…

Kid Rock watching C-Span? NEVER going to happen… until C-Span turns into some sort of porn/rock hybrid. Which given the state of things… might not be that far off.
