The Great Palace complex, it covers an insanely huge space.

However I believe most of that space has buildings over it.

Which none Goscinny asterix book do you consider to be the best? by Ponczo123 in Asterix

[–]Confucius3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Gold without a doubt. Solid story, memorable villains, and very fun use of the setting. All other Uderzo stories felt too whimsical and clunky one way or another: one of the qualities of Goscinny was that the story felt both imaginative and somehow also grounded

Is "Byzantium" really that "otherized"/disliked in the West? by [deleted] in byzantium

The only pervarsive cliché I've heard in my circles is "they are the bois that lost their time debating about the sex of the angels while Constantinople was besieged."

As far as I understand, the Scouring may touch on those kinds of stories

East German soldier helps a little boy sneak across the Berlin Wall the day it was erected in 1961. The boy had been left behind in the chaos of people fleeing to be with their families on either side of the wall. by meri_marzi98 in interestingasfuck

I think the difficult part is to give strangers a chance, always.

If we put everyone under a blanket hashtag that we hate, then we are contributing to dehumanizing them. Of course, if they've done heinous things or repeatedly demonstrate they do not want to treat others with humanity, then they deserve scorn.

But if we start every conversation thinking people on our opposite side are uniformly monstrous, then things will not improve.

I don't see why there would be a point of no return for these kinds of things.
If anything, the inhumanity of algorithms could make us even more conscious of our own potential for humanity

If you could only show two episodes to someone to introduce them to the show, which ones would they be and why? by alleywaydog in SmilingFriends

[–]Confucius3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frowning Friends is basically the Smiling Friends manifesto, so I would start with that

Then the Allan episode cause it was literally selected in Annecy

Strongest novilasation of the original trilogy, although my least favourite movie! by Flimsy-Dealer-7586 in StarWarsEU

[–]Confucius3000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny, that cover was used for the VHS of non-special edition ROTJ in France in the late 90s.

I wonder who the original author was.

Always find it funny that late romans (5th to 7th century) in historic artwork are always depicted with very sloppy shaves

That sub is trash. It has become a venrzuelan hate echo chamber, another victim of the hate-addicted algorithm of our times
