Worked in a PC repair shop. Got an all in one Mac in. Fixed it. Cleaned it up. It’s a good show piece for customers to see. Guy comes in with his kid. 5 minutes into transaction I suddenly notice, over his shoulder, the Mac owner’s porn collection playing on the screen. Ask customer to read fine print and do a quick move to wake up the Mac.
Those were the days…
Yeah, I went to check as I assumed it was probably 40s. The reality stung a bit.
The 13th Warrior.
Yes, it doesn’t follow the book 100%. Yes, there are some goofy or cheesy moments. For a 90s viking adventure though, I think it’s fun.
People might take issue with Banderas playing a Muslim, but Spain was once part of the caliphate that conquered northern Africa. Having a viking who speaks Greek, considering the Kievan Rus had explored the Mediterranean and fought for the Byzantines by now, added to the historical aspects of the story.
Even the original manuscripts get a bit fantasy, so I like to think of it as the movie reeled it back to a more historically accurate story over the greater fantasy on the book.
It can be both. You cannot argue that Lemmy is devoid of echo chambers.
I’ve blocked a few as well. No sense wasting your time with fantasy posters who conveniently ignore the issues of their own country. As if we don’t get videos of people being sealed inside apartment buildings, live meat markets, and other insanities. I’m American and, while some states want to erode history because they’re just as thin skinned as these Chinese propagandists, at least we can talk about slavery, trail of tears, Tulsa riot, and other negatives without threat of prison and hopes of social progress. Tiananmen Square though? Ha.
We shall call in Huckleberryism. Subscribed!
You have to appreciate their stupid confidence though. It’s entertaining.
Yeah, just take one look at Lemmygrad…
They’ll tell you all about how great China is while glossing over the millions of dead bodies it took to achieve their current situation, which is still piss poor for many workers. But fuck America, right?.. Lol
Here here. No sympathy for those who’d rather endure abuse for the sake of retaining their false sense of power. I am still technically a mod in a few subs, for now, and I just laughed to myself reading that post. I couldn’t believe the audacity of that exec, acting as if the relationship was just a tad rocky. I likewise couldn’t believe the audacity of the mods thinking their comments weren’t landing on deaf ears.
The only recourse at this point, in my opinion, is to abandon their posts, let the chaos and anarchy be sowed, so that there is no easy resolution by the time admins step in to fight the fires. Let the subs implode.
They don’t have a script for that.
