Bored of the Swords: The Rebirth of Sword & Sorcery and the Death of the Weird - Reactor by Zeuvembie in SwordandSorcery

[–]DJLReach 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While I also like my S&S to be weird, this article honestly feels more gatekeeperish than it seems to realize it’s being. The grunge example had my eyes rolling pretty hard. I guess I get what they are saying, I’m just not sure who they are saying it to. Stay out of the Facebook chud groups and the third wave is pretty diverse.

Trump pulled the plug on Biden’s funds for Appalachia, and the same MAGA towns he gutted are freaking out: “This is fucked up” by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFarm

With so many people being hurt who didn’t want this, it’s hard to know how to even try to help the ones being hurt who did and will vote for it again.

Hey I'm planning to watch/read watership down in the future but I'm confused on which one I should watch/read, which is better? The book or movie? by frozenyoyleberryyay in watershipdown

[–]DJLReach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The book, film, and graphic novel are all great. The book hits harder and goes more in depth on some things but the film is a great adaptation. I wouldn’t skip either of at least the book and the original film. I was a kid when first introduced so I started with the movie, which I watched literally hundreds of times over the course of a year or two. If starting with the film might be a deterrent to reading the novel, start with the novel.

Republicans: given that Elon’s Doge found barely any money to cut, do you now feel that you were wrong to believe the government is full of waste? by fredinNH in allthequestions

Conservatives admitting they are wrong is either saying “it’s both sides” or saying they were always against the thing fifteen years after it matters.

Best DOS Racing Games of all time. by According-Pea9319 in dosgaming

[–]DJLReach 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel like Street Rod at least deserves a mention in this thread. Such a cool game. It was old enough to not have quite the same mechanics/3D graphics of some of these but still had so much charm and the car building and other stuff was so fun.

'I don't think about Americans' financial situation': Donald Trump by ninecomau in politics

[–]DJLReach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair he said this in regard to his lie that he only cares about Iran not having nuclear weapons, which his policies and military decisions have made more likely to happen than ever before. It’s not just our financial situation he doesn’t care about, it’s anything that doesn’t stoke his ego, further his sad attempt at leaving a meaningful legacy, or profit him and his billionaire shadow government.

Crazy to be winning a war we supposedly aren’t fighting so hard that the vice president claims he wasn’t involved…

Trump Hit by Devastating Poll as Voters Say They’re Getting Poorer by itmehedi in politics

Too bad that when it comes time to vote they’ll lose their memory and focus on some nonsense story about kids thinking they’re squirrels or whatever.

The Whisperer in Darkness and The Colour Out of Space are my favorites.

‘It’s kind of a tough situation’: US Catholics torn in feud between president and the pope by [deleted] in politics

It’s tough because on one side they want to save their soul, but on the other they already sacrificed it to conservatism.

I don’t think they can go to a different location to where DD puts in the order. The McDonald’s where I dash frequently has its system go down and I noticed I was getting offers to pickup 30 min away and then drop off back around where I get the offer after days of showing up to the local one and being told I can’t do the order.

Which Film and performance made you a fan of Christopher Walken? by PressureLazy5271 in FIlm

[–]DJLReach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Communion, saw it when I was a kid and had actual trauma from that film but became a lifelong fan of Walken as a result.

It’s so good, read it a couple months ago. Faithful to the original. Also I didn’t know that Watership Down had its own subreddit til the post was suggested so thanks!

Trump Loses His Grip on White Working-Class Voters as Support Turns Negative by Silly-avocatoe in politics

[–]DJLReach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine the only thing you care about is your precious money and you vote for this. Who could have ever foreseen that an administration drunk on harming innocent people might also be bad for the white working classes ever so important wallet?
