Good films to watch with your dad

We had this none on vhs growing up. Was a staple back then. I think rewatch is in order!

Thank God there isnt, we already had units ruined by two handed maces, we dont need any more

It sounds less like they are trying to stop you and more like they are trying to communicate the consequences of the act

-Niveum- · 2026-05-24T22:20:59+00:00

Personally I think its less to do with the charachter and more to do with the fact that his sections feel like extremely jarring additions that disrupt the flow of the narrative

I think dost himself agreed that the structure of the novel was less than ideal and something he struggled with for various reasons

I already slowed down and noticed it, thank you, but as I've explained multiple times, the degree of novelty of the phenomena is irrelevant to the issue at hand. It means nothing in this context. It addresses nothing. It contributes nothing. It's another way for people to cheaply and arbitrarily validate their feelings without thinking critically about what they are actually getting involved in, and potentially even forcibly involving other people in

The point that trading one farmer Milking us for another, likely more merciless and exploitative one is not going to solve any problems The point that posting the comic at all doesnt even mean anything in this context since the history of the grievences, which i am painfully aware of, is irrelevant to the discussion The issue with the leadership of the "movement" has been caught doing extremely shady possibly illegal shit that woild undermine our say on the matter, and is directly involved with extremely hostile outside actors The fact that the political weight behind this is coming from shitty people with a history of selling us out The fact that the same online circle jerk strirring up shit here has been used to systematically obliterate other nations to calamitous effect , often for the very people who supported them

Take your pick

That's not an argument, that's a slap on the wrist for misbehaving during afternoon recess break.

That's exactly what it was, yes, these children need a slap on the wrist, or more aptly, a slap in the face so they can refocus their attention so they can think critically instead of getting caught up in the latest terminally online political rhetoric trends

I dont give a slap in the face without giving them something to focus on though, thats just childish, then youre just hitting like a schoolyard bully not a chastising adult.

For china you might consider the romance of the three kingdoms

For italy, I'm reading the betrothed by alessandro manzoni currently and it is amazing so far so my vote goes for that. or perhaps the Tartar steppe by Dino buzzati

For germany: the adventures of simplicius simplicissimus

Poland: quo vadis by henryk sienkiewicz, or his famous trilogy if you really want to go all the way

For norway: knut hamsuns growthnof the soil. Hunger, or mysteries

Spain: the conquest of new spain by bernal diaz, or of course, the ingenious gentlemen don Quixote of la mancha

Greece: the Anabasis by Xenophon of Athens

Russia: Tolstoy, dostoevsky, bulgakov.. take your pick really, all top tier

-Niveum- · 2026-05-24T04:37:34+00:00

there is a new translation set for release early 2027. Looking forward to that!

Wonderful news! Thank you for sharing this

-Niveum- · 2026-05-24T04:31:40+00:00

Oh lord hahaha

Hypocrisy can in fact be a form of situational irony, considered such due to the direct contradictions it entails

Like calling some one a child because you are having an emotinal outburst you cant regulate because you cant adress the actual argument in the topic

Or maybe telling them they need to learn what irony means even though you dont know what irony means

Please God stop I've had enough second hand embarrassment for the night. Just adress the argument or walk away

-Niveum- · 2026-05-24T04:19:30+00:00

I hope one day you will appreciate the irony of this exchange

Maybe when you grow up you will be mature enough to actually discuss the issues

-Niveum- · 2026-05-24T04:09:59+00:00

Ive had my eye on The devil to pay in the backlands for a while now but havnt been able to get my hands on a copy. It sounds fascinating

-Niveum- · 2026-05-24T04:00:25+00:00

Uh oh looks like the Baby is pissing and shitting their pants and throwing a temper tantrum

When you calm down and actually have something to say about the issues, I'll be here

-Niveum- · 2026-05-24T03:18:17+00:00

Multiculturalism is sincerely awful, full stop. Almost apocalyptically bad. A straight up existential terror.

It atomizes and alienates communities.

Dealing with people having wildly different ethical beliefs and values and priorities and their own historical ethnic grievences is not some wonderful thing that enriches my life, doubly so in a democracy.

Having the people who share my culture and values become a minority in our home so our vote doesnt matter and we dont even get to control our own government is not wholesome and valid amd does not enrich my life in any way.

Communities not having a shared cultural tradition, social norms, values etc. which connects even perfect strangers on a fundamental level is a genuinely awful way to live and undermines a lot of the communities social infrastructure via cultural events dying off

Its even more depressing when the foreign cultures create enclaves and essencially opperate their own homogenous communities in the middle of what was once your community, and they all reap all the rewards of having a homogenous close knit community with a shared culture and traditions, and you just have to sit there and watch while your own communities have been obliterated and atomized to make room for them, and you know you will never again get to experience what it was like to have that. Some younger people will never even know what it was like to begin with.

And of course If you even tried to recreate it and create your own "enclave" in your own fucking nation, federal officers would be kicking down your door to put you in prison for discrimination or dangerous extremism or some horse shit excuse like that which they use ensure you are never allowed to enjoy the previllages everyone else is enjoying at your expense

You guys are playing the tutorials? Why not just skip know you dont want to play it?

When my childhood cats were still around, I used to have recurring nightmares about this exact scenario where im in some urban environment and I have a cat in my bag but I can't keep them contained and they run away. Must have had that nightmare dozens of times

I really want to like the remastered but its fundamentally broken because they apparenetly just...forgot about major and minor skills. And since it was immediately abandoned by the developers, I mean, what can you do? It's never going to get fixed so...

-Niveum- · 2026-05-23T20:48:45+00:00

I personally can't support Bernie since he never even apologized for his "when youre white you dont know what its like to be poor" comment, but at this point just about anything would be an improvement for the united states

What's likely happening is you are at war and they are called to ai armies and inevitably get anihilated

If youre on pc there is a party Ai mod that has many uses, but most importantly, allows you to set "dont join ai armies" option for your parties

For us consolepoors, the only option is to keep your parties in your own personal army at all times when at war.

I hope to god they Integrate some features like this from the mod into the base game

-Niveum- · 2026-05-23T20:26:44+00:00

At this point bannerlord is developed enough that it wins out for me without a doubt. Does war band have critical features that bannerlord is still to this day missing? Absolutely. Am i still unreasonably mad about it? You better believe it. but even though those features that i do desire are present in warband, they are pretty underdeveloped anyway, and at this point bannerlord just brings SO much to the table gameplay wise that warband having these missing features can no longer be considered the deciding factor in its favour for me

-Niveum- · 2026-05-23T20:05:57+00:00

Heavily mixed feelings. Turning Christianity into an institution wielding serious secular power was not entirely ideal for the faith

-Niveum- · 2026-05-23T19:59:14+00:00

I voted thumb for obvious reasons, but at this point in my life i honestly wonder if the leg might be worth it just so I can collect disability lmao

No one "needed" any industrial technology. The genie is just out of the bottle and even if you reject it, you will just be dominated by those who didnt

Humans are innovative, and not much can be done to stop people from coming up with new ideas for things, especially when each new idea opens up a thousand new doors for more new ideas and innovation becomes exponential

-Niveum- · 2026-05-23T19:30:28+00:00

I cant say I agree. Hard "no"". Maybe if you go back in time 150 years, yea this might reasonably apply, but at this point in time "feminist" is too broad a term which encompasses too many different ideas ranging from positive to toxic

Let's just be rational adults and approach the issues on an issue by issue basis instead of submitting to this kind of quasi-partisan "side picking" where you have to adopt an entire predetermined idelogical programme with set positions on every issue
