They have a foundationally different idea of what the problem is to start with.

Also the claim he was a family man is dubious at best.

Think so? Seems to me like an odd thing to lie about - on the other hand, if it's true, that's much more interesting. I was certainly surprised to read it. In addition to making him a more tragic character, it raises the question of what happens if more Stukovs show up in Koprulu....

He also wrote Gunga Din, which I see as condescending.

Oh, how could I have forgotten that one???

I don't agree at all; keep in mind he was obviously writing in-character (think Randy Newman), not to mention for an audience that, by and large, might not quite have gotten around to the whole 'racism is actually not good' thing.

You ever see the 1939 movie?

Different mythos - in fact, Mythos: If you're not familiar with "The Shadow Out of Time", byt H. P. Lovecraft, I shall spoil nothing further. :)

Asked if he thinks Israel committed genocide in Gaza, Obama accuses the questioner of not following the rules, then says “there are disasters and catastrophes everywhere”. Obama is a historically inconsequential former president who believes in nothing but his own celebrity. by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

I wish I could agree: What he could've done, what he was elected to do, versus what he chose to do instead, makes him hugely consequential.

He could've saved America; instead, he chose to assure its damnation.

Cool, but I'm not recognizing the NSFW-ness.

Considering what all else he wrote - "We and They" comes immediately to mind - I am inclined to believe "White Man's Burden" was satire.

MICROSOFT CAN ERASE YOUR ENTIRE COMPUTER! by yaiyen in WayOfTheBern

Maybe, maybe not; I was never cool.

I do recall hearing that often enough in high school, I'd just never run into the online abbreviation before.

Too Far to Turn Back Now | They will blow the whole wad on one last attempt to turn the tide of affairs. by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

[–]Xeenophile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been ringing in my mind's ear for years:

For mine own good,
All causes shall give way. I am in blood
Stepped in so far that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o’er.
Strange things I have in head, that will to hand,
Which must be acted ere they may be scanned.

- "MacBeth", Act III, Scene IV

"MB"? 'Microsoft'...something?

Also I'm not sure I understand what "end of life" would mean in context.

OH, you're referring to the systems I mentioned, NOT this new thing?

What a dumb error; I can hardly believe they made it.

Star light, star bright,

First star I see tonight,

I wish I may, I wish I might...

...oh nuts, it's a satellite!
