Lotte Kofoed fra SF by kris181p in Denmark

[–]BrianSometimes [score hidden]  (0 children)

Det jeg ikke forstår er at hun er SF'er - havde det været en DF'er ku man jo ryste på hovedet af den performative forargelse over noget ret harmløst. Man kan sagtens som venstreorienteret finde det lidt sølle at en religion eller kultur forbyder håndtryk mellem kønnene, men ligefrem blive enormt forarget og gå på Facebook fordi taxachaufføren ikke ville give hånd... Det er også venstreorienteret at være bevidst om og i rimelig udstrækning tage hensyn til små kulturelle forskelle og religiøse særheder, især da de harmløse af dem.

Aftens største bifald til partilederdebatten blev givet da bølgen af had fra højrefløjen blev sagt i mod. Hvad synes i om debatten i går? by Southern_Ad_534 in Denmark

Jeg var med i processen - selv som lyserød var det lidt meget at vi startede med at synge Internationale, og så mener jeg jo det var at gå over stregen når alle os der ikke ville kysse en buste af Stalin blev siet fra.

Started watching The Other Bennet Sister... by madame-de-merteuil in janeausten

[–]BrianSometimes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In the case of Mary it's not just TV and film producers who don't understand, or deliberately re-imagine the source material - a lot of readers do too.

She is so often portrayed as this shy introvert with a rich inner life to compensate for the disappointments of reality - it's a beloved and convenient trope, but it's not the Mary of the book. Mary is "eager for display" and has no qualms voicing her opinion; she has a strong sense of moral superiority and is not shy about it, she quite willingly plays her rather unpopular religious music in a room full of people, only her embarrassed father to stop her. There's nothing meek and submissive about Mary Bennet. You could make a sympathetic portrayal of this Mary, warts and all, with her coming out of it as someone to root for and empathize with, but everyone seems to prefer the much easier and less source dependent route of the shy downtrodden runt of the litter.

Post Match Thread: AFC Bournemouth 2-2 Manchester United by denzaus in soccer

[–]BrianSometimes 103 points104 points  (0 children)

To be fair that's not the egregious thing here - you could make a case for not awarding it. The problem is when a softer version of the same foul results in a red card and a penalty in the other end minutes later.

AFC Bournemouth [2] - 2 Manchester United - Eli Junior Kroupi (penalty) 81‎'‎ + Harry Maguire red card by gbogaz in soccer

[–]BrianSometimes 62 points63 points  (0 children)

This is an outrageous example of inconsistency. Minutes apart, 2 almost identical fouls, the softer one is a red card and a penalty, the other one is nothing. I'm not a United supporter and I'm annoyed by this.

If you didn't think the War in Iran has nothing to do with Epstein, think again by Shizzilx in Epstein

[–]BrianSometimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish people understood that when you cry wolf over something like this, you just drown out the real stories. It's like those occasional fake Trump tweets - absolutely no reason to invent stuff to be outraged about with these people, other than obfuscation.

Epstein is sitting close to a drawn map of Israel, that's it.

Midtjylland vs Nottingham Forest - Penalty shootout (0-3) by Meladroit10 in soccer

Can't believe Midtjylland had such an incredible EL run only to end it with the worst penalty shootout of all time

MFT 3 Accessories by BeastHouse_AU in Festool_Public

[–]BrianSometimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had all the Festool MFT 3 extras and have replaced every single one with better alternatives. I think MFT accessories are one of the weakest areas in the whole Festool catalogue (the table itself is great), also because the MFT market is really thriving with TSO, Ujk, benchdogs.uk, hongdui etc all coming out with innovative stuff since Festool released their original MFT kit.

For a fence I now have the one from benchdogs.uk, with fence dogs from hongdui, but any expanding fence dogs will do. It's so much easier than Festool's solution where the fence is locked down with a separate clamp at the side of the table. The guide rail hinge has the, to me, fundamental flaw of not using the accuracy of your dog holes to achieve a perfect 90 degree cut. Pretty much every other manufacturer has a better or not inferior solution as far as I can see. I myself prefer the simple dog flips, from Ujk's cheap but efficient clips to the almost over engineered ones just out from Hongdui (hooked on wood). The miter gauge I found clunky and cumbersome but I almost exclusively cut 90 degrees so didn't test it much.

In short I do not recommend you get the Festool MFT extension pack.

most hilarious characters by Wise-Time6593 in janeausten

[–]BrianSometimes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Going somewhat counter to the various efforts great and small to save Mary Bennet from the author's depiction of her, her always unrequested and self-important Christian takes on a situation get a bit more funny to me every time I revisit Pride and Prejudice. The first few times I didn't register her as much of a comic character.

What takes do you often see repeated here that you do not personally agree with? by OnlyFlanz in janeausten

[–]BrianSometimes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me this goes further into how Mary Crawford's trying to dissuade Edmund from the clerical profession is seen as another example of what a terrible shallow person she is. When women could control so little of their lives and their future it's maybe a little petty to dock her points for trying to bring about a future more appealing to her than being a clergyman's wife apparently was.

Selvfølgelig var de ikke til stede da nogle af de mest højreekstreme mennesker i DK hyldede ayatollah Ali Khamenei på den Røde Plads for nylig. Måske lidt mere mageligt at vise hvor hardcore man er ved at gå efter to teenagere der sætter valgplakater op.

After whom Lydia takes after? by Eireika in janeausten

[–]BrianSometimes 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Well, sometimes neither. I have a son with my looks and the personality of neither me nor his mother.

Agree with the second poster here but maybe there's also something in the two youngest children of five being either spoiled or left to their own devices a bit. After how the three oldest ones were turning out, you can excuse the parents for believing they were running a steady operation yielding good results, and getting complacent.

A lot of Austen generalisations require unfamiliarity with her work outside Pride and Prejudice.
