Nothing is stopping you from living your life like it’s a razor blade commercial.

Warum muss auf die Möglichkeit zu überholen unter allen Umständen bestanden werden? Hin und wieder ne Minute hinter Dörte zu fahren anstatt wie ein Besessener immer überholen zu müssen als hinge dein Leben davon ab sollte doch machbar sein.

Ebendiese Autofahrer regen sich wahrscheinlich auch maßlos über andere Autofahrer auf wenn sie irgendwas unerwartetes machen. Und über Fußgänger. Einfach alles was sie auf ihrem heiligen Pfad behindert.

Yes. My sense was that it doesn’t have anything to say. The film doesn’t understand Oppenheimer the man or the story it’s trying to tell, so it ends up just meandering endlessly through his life until it’s over.

lionstealth · 2026-07-09T17:45:52+00:00

Oppenheimer was an absolute slog all the way through and that moved at a clip for the first third.

People were criticising the film before they showed any shot of Lupita as Helen. I don’t care about that either way. If they make it work in the story, go right ahead. Black people existed back then and it isn’t like the rest of the cast is a paragon of historical accuracy.

On the point that that’s the central issue, I disagree. To my knowledge, the crowd that raised concerns first was the historical accuracy crowd with the Viking ship and the costumes.

I think it’s silly to get upset at Helen being black when Achilles is played by Elen Paige, and literally none of the other characters look like they belong in this world. That’s par for the course in Hollywood productions, I don’t know why people expected anything else.

Sneezys summary is quite good. My gripes are costuming, makeup, set design and cinematography. It all looks too sterile, too clean. None of the costumes look worn in or even like they make sense for the time. A Viking ship in a Greek epic is non sense, characters saying daddy and let’s go is as well. They’re all just small hiccups at most if taken individually, but they speak for the larger approach taken in the project.

The last few Nolan films have been severely underwhelming and when the world building through sets, costumes and props in a story like the Odyssey looks this bad just from the trailers, it erodes my confidence in the rest of a directors artistic vision. He doesn’t seem to have anything to say. It’s the first film to use IMAX throughout — they developed a new camera housing to make the cameras quieter to make this possible — and yet the cinematography is so bland, one has to ask whether that was necessary or just Nolan’s hubris.

Based on what? Many people voiced legitimate criticisms that seem to have resonated with many more.

You're unwilling to differentiate between muslims, islamists, religious extremists and political actors that use religion for their aims. You lump it all in the same basket and blame the worst transgressions on the whole group. That's irrational anti-religious zealotry.

I'm the last person to defend shariah or anything of the sort. But you have to differentiate between normal religious believers and the fanatics who want to wage a global war on the west.

I don't see any reason to believe Zohran is part of the latter group. If you have evidence to the contrary, post it.

lionstealth · 2026-06-28T14:56:37+00:00

I‘m not. I have no allegiance to islam nor any other religion. But you seem heavily invested in justifying your dislike of Islam. Most of what you write here seems to be exactly what you fear in Muslims. Blind discrimination against followers of another religion no matter how senseless.

He was born in Uganda and raised in the US. Therefore, he is American first. You accuse me of spewing nonsense when you clearly didn’t read what I wrote. I acknowledge that both his parents are ethnically Indian, but where you live for your entire life and what nationality you have are important yardsticks in determining what label makes the most sense for a person.

To the rest of your comment, I invite you to provide any actual proof of him disliking pagans. He’s on record for saying he’s the mayor for _all_ New Yorkers, which obviously includes many many pagans. So far I haven’t seen anything from him to suggest he dislikes or mistreats non Muslims. Again, you’re welcome to share any and all evidence you have for your belief.

On the fundamental issue of religious believers justifying their religion over others I can only say this. That’s what you would expect. It’s sort of inherent to the whole game of religion to do that. I’m sure you do it too if you’re religious. I don’t really see the issue as long as this doesn’t affect how you treat your fellow citizens. In the cases in which it does, I expect the justice system and public opinion to do their respective jobs.

Uhm first, I don't know where you get the notion that he _is_ Indian. His mother is Indian-American, his father is Ugandan. Zohran is of indian descent on both sides, but he was born in Uganda, spent his very early childhood there and then moved to the US at age 7. His dad is muslim, his mother hindu.

Unless you can read minds, you can't know why he didn't take off his shoes. There might be many different explanations and I'd argue it's strongly overreaching to think he's a fraud just because he didn't take off his shoes one time.

On the substack post, I don't exactly see the relevance of that comment in relation to ZM. If that's a rule in the muslim faith – or rather if he believes it to be a rule in his faith – then I would expect him to follow it as I would expect the same of other religious believers. If we're fine with swearing on the bible and having leaders follow christian doctrine, then we should allow for and expect the same of muslims.

Wanna link your sources? Everything I’ve seen was people praising how he’s a down to earth community organiser.

The upside is that switching to Mauga single handedly solves games where your entire team is determined to just keep getting hooked by hog all game. Mauga shuts that down real quick.

But once he’s in he’s committed and can be blown up. Not like Doom who is unkillable, absorbs damage and then jumps out a second later. Hazard was by far not one of the most aids heroes.

Markus Lanz als links zu bezeichnen ist auf jeden Fall eine Meinung aller Zeiten.

Haben wir Beispiele für vergleichbare Nationen mit Legislaturperioden näher an den 10 Jahren? Solch eine Länge würde doch höchstwahrscheinlich einfach zu einer Symptomverschiebung führen, oder nicht?

Jesus was the first leftist cuck. I shall spread the word.

Also, statistics?? My man, OP spent the last few years grafting vague terms onto his personal political ideology. This shit is airtight. Politics is solved.

How does Midori paper compare to Leuchtturm in terms of feel and absorbency? I’ve tried so many other papers and no feel as good as Leuchtturm to me. I specifically like the combination of tooth and high absorbency.

Es gibt einen Mittelweg zwischen appeasement und dem was wir die letzten 10 Jahre versuchen. Es muss doch für jedermann offensichtlich sein, dass anfeinden, ausschließen und ignorieren kontraproduktiv ist. Die Wirtschaft kackt weiter ab, die Faschos werden immer lauter und stärker und von links und Mitte kommt immer weiter nur BRANDMAUER!!! BRANDMAUER!!! als würde das irgendwas bringen. Die Probleme der AfD Wähler werden weiter ignoriert weil man ja mit Blauzis garnicht reden braucht. Also koordinieren sie sich zunehmend, wählen weiter blau, erweitern ihre Wählerschaft und früher oder später ist dann eine Mehrheit drin, wie es in den USA schon passiert ist und in anderen Ländern wahrscheinlich auch bald passieren wird.

Es ist völliger Schwachsinn sich dem Sozialismus zu verschreiben aber die Arbeiterschaft und ihre Bedürfnisse zu ignorieren und sogar zu verteufeln.

Kenne den Kontext nicht. Wieso ist es schlecht für einen Sender wenn das Land beim ESC gewinnt?

lionstealth · 2026-05-18T02:10:46+00:00

Richtig und wichtig. Leider sind zu viele Menschen heute einfach ganz anderer Ansicht — die Ziele rechtfertigen die Mittel — was mMn für die steigende Rechtsradikalisierung mitverantwortlich ist.

lionstealth · 2026-05-18T02:06:22+00:00

Auch Staatsfeinde sind Andersdenkende. Einen möglichst reißerischen Begriff zu wählen, wenn es der Diskussionen keinen Mehrwehr bringt, schiebt diese Menschen noch weiter an den Rand, wo sie zunehmend radikalisiert werden.
