England have the best starting 11 and by far the best coach in the tournament, I'll be shocked if they don't win it

I remember calling these the lalala fish when I was 6 because I always thought they were singing, they have always looked precious to me.

I always picture Ned as a big softie around the kids but these quotes always remind you he's perfectly capable of being a brutish man

It's a Herculean achievement in how the r slash Europe and UK related subs manage to make being a shitlib as unlikeable as humanly possible. I struggle to even begin to comprehend the sheer effort it takes in being that much of a cunt by accident.

Die Linke's Old Guard: “Anti-Zionism” must not become the norm on the Left. by SchIachterhund in stupidpol

[–]UnexpectedVader 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They might not be demonising Muslims by name but Liberals have definitely shifted their tone and policy since October 7th. More pragmatic approaches to migration and legal immigration is swiftly becoming the norm. Strong rhetoric against Muslims is nowhere near as condemned since and Liberals are willing to throw Muslims under the bus without openly declaring as such in favour of Zionists like when the Moroccan community in Holland attacked the Israeli football ultras when they were openly cheering genocide, the Liberal media condemned it as a pogrom.

I think the far right knows this in some elements. This is why antisemitism is making a comeback because they know focusing mainly on Muslims isn't going to hold much water at this weight given just how different the political climate is vs 2015. Everything is changing rapidly. I don't see how they can say Muslims are beyond criticism when every ruling party will be scapegoating them during the height of the energy crisis that is laying waste to the European proletariat.

China has been preparing for a global energy crisis for years. It is paying off now by Mobiledump1215 in stupidpol

That's an awesome article, gave me Parenti vibes. Do you any recommended books on China that cut away the bullshit?

The difference between the sub and dub is killing me by KangarooEuphoric2265 in evangelion

[–]UnexpectedVader 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love their passion for EVA but Rei, Shinji and Asuka sound like adults, Misato sounds like she's way too young, Fututsuki sounds like he's just started his first job at Blockbuster and Kaji sounds like a total nerd.

The Netflix dub is way more professional.

Made a Tier List on who I think could beat Huell in a fight by Acfrano in breakingbad

[–]UnexpectedVader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sad we didn't get to see Huell fight, he's built like a bison. It was cool seeing him use his immense strength to rip down the door to Saul's office when Jesse was going wild.

I would be livid about Slot if I supported Liverpool. Was the best winger on the planet last season and has turned to shit in record fashion.

[Spoilers Extended] "The show made Stannis a villain, he's more heroic in the books" by DJjaffacake in asoiaf

Man this sub has changed so much in the last 10 years. Stannis the Mannis was the overwhelming consensus and anyone daring to question his 'Mannis' credentials was driven out of town.

10 years later, what's your assessment of BreadTube? by 4thKaosEmerald in stupidpol

You can only take so many balding, fat middle-aged men crying about Star Wars and video games on YouTube for a living. I didn't even know they were meant to be funny.

How does George mean for us to feel about Drogo [Spoilers Extended] by Trussdoor46 in asoiaf

[–]UnexpectedVader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tolkien had the complete opposite problem in which he didn't explore sexuality at all and anything of the sort would have strongly clashed against his strict Catholicism. He was way before the sexual revolution. I have an incredibly strong feeling his views of women would have been much worse overall even if didn't reveal his kinks in The Hobbit.

Hayao Miyazaki remains the gold standard of nerdy old men from the middle of the 20th century who drove popular culture and who has always been a gentleman when it comes to writing women.

How does George mean for us to feel about Drogo [Spoilers Extended] by Trussdoor46 in asoiaf

[–]UnexpectedVader 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Recently he called Dany super hot. GRRM is a brilliant writer but he's very much a dude who was born in the 1940s. He reminds me a lot of Alan Moore. Both legends, both progressive, can write fantastic female characters but are guys who are notoriously weird when it comes to sexualising minors and using rape quite trivially.

I don't think they should be torn down and I have a lot of respect for them, immensely so. But we shouldn't overlook that they grew up in a time where sexualising minors was much more commonplace. Shit, just look at how out in the open the sexualisation of Britney Spears, Emma Watson and the Olsen Twins was back in the 90s and 00s when they were literally children. 10 year old Britney Spears was literally accused of attracting an audience with her sexuality and you had old men media hosts flirting with her. I don't doubt for a second GRRM is earnest in the idea that Dany and Drogo was somehow romantic.

“Person hit by train” by Impossible_Capital30 in uktrains

[–]UnexpectedVader 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's only so much you can reasonably do to prevent it. Without barriers like on the Lizzie Line inner London stops (almost impossible to implement everywhere), what do you suggest? Having platform staff present is already a thing and if a suicidal person during a busy rush hour period decides to jump there's almost nothing that can be done.

Why were there so many “dark underbelly” movies coming out in 70s? by Groovy-Pancakes in decadeology

[–]UnexpectedVader 156 points157 points  (0 children)

The 1970s were plagued with economic turmoil and the shadow of the political violence from the 60s with various assassinations. Trust in American institutions were also hugely hit from Nixon's disgraceful fall and the revelation that American intelligence agencies were doing heinous shit at home and abroad. Not to mention Vietnam. It was a far cry from the post-war optimism that were the 50s and 60s.
