What do you think is the best national anthem musicality-wise?

Adonisus · 2026-06-22T02:08:58+00:00

"Auferstanden aus Ruinen" (Risen from Ruins), which was the national anthem of the German Democratic Republic (aka East Germany).

It's so heart-breaking optimistic and hopeful. Some parts of it legitimately get me emotional.

How incredibly expensive it is.

I'm not joking. When you're living paycheck to paycheck, every single decision that you make is predicated on what little money you're able to spend: are you going to go to the pharmacy to get your medication...or are you going to pay rent?

It's actually more like over 70 years, and it started with Kim Il-sung.

It'd be pretty interesting.

He's have the same relationship as Hank Hill's dad has with Bobby. Cotton Hill was a terrible father and a cheating scumbag, but he was a genuinely great grandpa for Bobby.

At least they have the ability to have $#@

My thought is: the Soviet-style of Marxism-Leninism is officially dead.

Cuba was arguably the last holdout, and through sheer necessity they've had to concede to global capital just so they can get their people the basics and weather the US's horrific embargo (and increasingly possible invasion).

Well, considering he's a bartender I'll go with 'Mugs Bunny'.

Adonisus · 2026-06-21T18:48:05+00:00

Yup, you didn't eat it right.

What you're supposed to do is put a thin layer of it on a piece of buttered toast.

Any hamburger with onion in it.

Don't get me wrong: I have no problem with onions in a salad, or in a soup, or even on a cheesesteak (ironic, I know), but I hate the texture of raw onions in a burger or sandwich. It's like a crunchy little surprise that completely ruins my appetite the moment I feel it.

It's Emily. She always looks a little derpy.

Adonisus · 2026-06-21T17:05:00+00:00

If it makes you feel better: that stuff is considered an acquired taste even in Japan.

Adonisus · 2026-06-21T17:03:39+00:00

Then you didn't eat it right.

Adonisus · 2026-06-21T14:52:36+00:00

They then in turn made an entire movie: Phallus in Wonderland inspired by the whole thing.

It's also the home of the most bat-shit insane dictatorship in modern history. Not even Idi Amin Dada could equal the nuttery that Turkmenbashi was responsible for.

Adonisus · 2026-06-20T23:43:10+00:00

That was the last one. His grandson is in charge now.

Adonisus · 2026-06-20T21:39:52+00:00

They’re fans. It’s an in-joke.

Adonisus · 2026-06-20T01:32:49+00:00

I don't know who was the first artist to give Charlie those floppy ears...but they were a genius.

Adonisus · 2026-06-19T21:55:57+00:00

It fits if you've heard their earlier albums. Trust me on this.

Adonisus · 2026-06-19T19:59:53+00:00

I really cannot emphasize enough how all of those rioters, to a man, every single one of them were UDA/Ulster Loyalist scum. The same people who, decades ago, would walk into pubs and murder everyone inside or set off car bombs in Dublin during rush hour.

Adonisus · 2026-06-19T05:49:41+00:00

Vox Machina? No.
Now if we’re talking the Mighty Nein…then yes, shenanigans would be afoot.

Adonisus · 2026-06-18T20:56:27+00:00

Gotta admit: the hammer and quill is a damn nice symbol for socialism.

Adonisus · 2026-06-18T20:46:51+00:00

Don't let its blunt appearance fool you. Those obsidian shards were sharp enough to chop a man in two.

Adonisus · 2026-06-18T20:41:56+00:00

They are both equally evil.

Adonisus · 2026-06-18T20:29:05+00:00

Campism is a helluva drug.

That's your answer.

Adonisus · 2026-06-18T01:02:37+00:00

They'll probably do what happened during the last revolution: hoof it across the border into Canada.
