I don’t think I’m saying that. I think there are other posters that are saying that, I’m pointing out that someone who felt that way was pretty soundly crushed in the comments, and that the general tone of this thread is very much ‘Unless you’re spewing all the hate, you’re a Nazi sympathiser or a Troll’. There is a…

Isn’t wearing a Nazi hat and making a Hitler moustache with a finger a mocking gesture? Wasn’t that kind of ‘skit’ used a lot in comedy shows to mock Hitler? The salute on it’s own wouldn’t be ‘mocking’, but piss-taking the Moustache suggests satire?

I think @Odins_girl was more of less trying to say the same thing above and got pretty soundly annihilated. The hate train has left the station on this thread and it’s pretty much a case of ‘spew all the hate or GTFO’.

The mass wedding in the Handmaid’s tale puts me in mind of the group weddings they arranged for the SS Elite.

Isn’t it also reversed? Or did I misunderstand this? I thought I read somewhere that the Nazi Swastika is a mirror image of the original religious symbol. It makes me so sad that historic symbolism became corrupted and appropriated, and has come to represent the ultimate evil, so that it can no longer be enjoyed or…

Dolphins are not the sweet and innocent animals people think they are - pods of male dolphins will separate a female from her pod and gang rape her while attacking her to prevent her from leaving. They will literally stick their dicks in anything to get off - including (but not limited to) the rotting carcasses of…

One step closer to flying cars being a reality... Strap some wings on that beast and give it an after-burner and you have yourself an aircraft.

What a waste of a Tesla :-(

Although arguably the ‘eye for an eye’ system of punishment would be infinitely more satisfying...

I hate footwear. HATE it. I loathe socks. I end up with nothing but blisters regardless of the shoe I wear. AND YET I hate exposed feet. It’s so gross. My Husband is a monster who wears his outdoor shoes in the house. I hate it so much. I have a old pair of Croc ‘ballet pump’ style shoes that live in my kitchen that I…

ARGH don’t talk to me about shoes inside the house. I’m British and my husband keeps his trainers on until the minute he gets into bed - I HATE HATE HATE it. I hate that he’s getting ‘outside filth’ all over our carpets. I keep buying him slippers but he rarely wears them. I tried to get him to buy a pair of ‘inside…

I’m a Lobster etc is right - it’s never actually made explicitly clear what happened to Offred in the book. Her record ends when she’s put in the van but we can assume that she survived long enough to create her account. When she did that is never specified - it’s possible that she created her record whilst ‘on the…

The only way I’d like to see June interact with the Waterfords again is if she somehow (Deus ex Machina) encounters Serena Joy and the latter aids her in some way. Season 2 was so brutal it was almost tiring to watch - it was always ‘here we go again, June is about to die and will somehow get saved at the last minute’.

We passed the book completely when June was bundled into a panel van and we saw where she ended up. The book ends there with no clear idea of what (if anything) happened to her.

Milk of the Poppy is a well known and popular historical pain killer, so it’s absolutely possible, although the question would be ‘why would they put it on a gold tablet’ - unless they were poppy farmers/traders or well known healers themselves? I doubt they’d go to the expense of just pointing out that they happened…

Yes - and that was reprehensible on the part of the ‘fans’. You don’t punish an actor for a shitty character. They are like Models on a runway - they are given the material and do the best they can with it but their control over the source and direction of that material is limited at best.

Depends if that is what was being treated. Trepanation was thought to ‘release demons’ so pretty much any ailment that might be tangentially ‘demon related’ would probably be treated with Trepanation. Like Leeching or Blood Letting. Headaches and Migraines would have been prime Trepanation territory - as a migraine…

You both make excellent points. I don’t understand the negativity towards human cultural and racial diversity in a universe where there are Green and Blue Alien women with tentacles growing out of their heads, and where you can get strawberry milkshake from multi-limbed seals.

This sounds so ludicrous it has to be a prank/fake/hack/etc.
