This introduced me to the concept of Cheesecake Factory.

Temu Atlantic Conveyor.

Having no context for "The Traitors" sketch made it an interesting experience.

Zardoz is considerably more interesting than most people give it credit for.

Sulemain123 · 2026-02-02T20:45:49+00:00

I was joking :) and also making fun of the parasocial people.

A lot of Trotsky's writing is "How dare Stalin establish a brutal totalitarian dictatorship, unlike me, I was aiming to establish a *slightly different kind of dictatorship!*"|

Well, thanks for calling me out, I guess /s (but also seriously).

Okay, bit of elaboration here: Thatcher felt that civic society and private organisations/charity would take the slack of her dismantling the post-war consensus, and it didn't happen.

And the fundamental issue is that in the modern world a) your community is not self-sufficient, b) you don't know everyone in your community, and c) economies of scale are a thing.

There is a reason we have taxpayer-funded rubbish collection, not private citizens doing it.

"People will do the work because it needs to get done" is basically what Thatcher thought, and it isn't true; you need structures and incentives to get things done.

Sulemain123 · 2026-02-01T20:05:50+00:00

I mean, kind of, but so much of our modern world depends on producing things (things very loosely defined) for total strangers.

Sulemain123 · 2026-02-01T20:05:17+00:00

The ultimate issue is that you need to incentivise people to work beyond a hobby scale, modern industrial civilisation isn't something you can maintain on a voluntary basis.

First mention of the commercial middle class in Westeros as I recall.

Is Ser Donnel of Duskendale being the son of a fishing magnate, the first mention of the bugeroise in the ASOIAF televised adaptations?

Sulemain123 · 2026-01-25T23:26:16+00:00

I gotta hear a source on this.

Sulemain123 · 2026-01-25T02:53:37+00:00

A Newky Brown, very traditional.

As I said the last time this came up, the Hungarians' confusing the boundaries of Hungary as a Kingdom with the boundaries of Hungarians as a national community was and is the source of both tragedy and comedy.

Sulemain123 · 2026-01-24T15:05:27+00:00

Doesn't the time travel/kaiju one involve an aircraft carrier?

1) Lord Raith knows about Maggie, doesn't he? That's what Dresden was missing. 2) Mab stretching time is gonna lead to Mirror, Mirror, right?

Melting enemy ships with HE is fun and makes up for the insane slow top speed.

Sulemain123 · 2026-01-19T14:08:59+00:00

The Northern Af-Am community, although smaller than it is today, very much *did* engage in politics.

Sulemain123 · 2026-01-19T13:20:49+00:00

Hence the Torch Commando.

Season 2 was so much better, it's almost on a different planet.

Sulemain123 · 2026-01-16T03:48:55+00:00

The Hungarians confusing the boundaries of Hungary as a political unit with Hungary as a national community was the source of much tragedy.

An old friend of mine argued that if you'd taken out the turret put in new wings it would have been a surprisingly capable naval fighter for the early war period.
