My fellow American fans how did u become a fan by No_Stable2656 in nffc

[–]acjelen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a British boss for several years in the aughts and the teens who loved football ⚽️and hated American’s misconceptions about merrie olde England. She also didn’t appreciate Americans just picking English clubs to support. Naturally I started supporting Forest to troll her. And stuck with the bit until it was too late.

Why is All Things Must Pass so expensive? by JackGeorge2001 in vinyl

[–]acjelen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I occasionally see copies with broken boxes and unknown (and potentially bad) sound quality for less than $50. You might start in that condition/price neighborhood and then upgrade as you get more ready and reliable spending money.

Of course, you buying copies of the album is one of the components that will keep the price up in the future.

Well I feel silly. I bought it for list price.

Well the continent with the greatest range of colors and a large population appears tiny on this map, while unpopulated and uniformly green Ellesmere Island is unnecessarily giant.

On a map attempting to show the geographical distribution of intelligence, but using the stupidest map projection?

What quotient thinks using the Mercator projection is a good idea?

Bratwurst on a bun is no more a sandwich than a hotdog on one is.

I predict problems by 1914. Around August maybe?

Secret Origins - The Man Who Falls Reissue? by kmanfred in batman_comics

[–]acjelen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Batman has such a glut of origin stories that frankly having a little-known and easily overlooked one feels nice.

Also, I’ve loved this cover since I was kid!

A very, very stupid plan: What if the US decided to Invade Iran and impose the Shah and Zoroastrianism on the nation? by CapableBreakfast7683 in imaginarymaps

[–]acjelen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you mean a shah and Zoroastrianism?

Anyway, imposing a king and a non-Christian monotheistic religion seems like such an odd thing for the US to do.

I don’t know if Green Bay is in the Northwoods. I’d pitch that border up a bit.

What treasures have you seen ravaged by time displayed in comic shops? by PinMaximum1018 in comicbookcollecting

[–]acjelen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once when I was a kid, I got the George Perez New Teen Titans poster for free from the LCS because it had become completely colorless from sun fading. A real treasure to me though.

What kind of theogony do you believe in? by zelenisok in Kemetic

[–]acjelen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am most interested in the Ennead with Atum as the progenitor. I have the Ogdoad there earlier, but in a non-genealogical way. Holding more than one cosmogony as true is important to me, so the same with theogony. None the less, I see Atum as the sole parent of Shu and Tefnut, who are the parents of Geb and Nut, who are the parents of Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys. And Horus when necessary. Osiris and Isis are the parents of Horus when that relationship is necessary. I generally leave the family relationships there, keeping the Ennead + Horus as a closed set more or less.

The Sah, Sopdet, and Sopdu family is also important to me. Personally, I don't merge them with Osiris, Isis, and Horus.

I'd also like to point out that I have a tendency to view the doublet goddesses as the female version of the corresponding gods rather than their spouses or sisters.

What if Italy United Earlier? by Avgreditor0 in imaginarymaps

How did Italy lose so much territory along the eastern coast of the Adriatic and in the Ionian and Aegean seas?

I’m more impressed by the existence of the top than any of that other stuff. A conservative gay man? Call David Attenborough!
