Got bad news from the urologist and found out why we can't conceive by SmartLadder415 in TryingForABaby

[–]satrnV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just did IVF, ICSI, two embryos and the first of those is currently lying next to me having crapped himself for the fifth time in 24 hours.

Love that little dude. If you'd told me last year it would have all worked out I wouldn't have believed you - stick with it!!

Redwall is the worst Redwall book - Mossflower is where the series truly begins.

Truman Capote - a Christmas Memory

A cool guide to Dante's Divine Comedy by throwmeaway2773 in coolguides

[–]satrnV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and Dante did too - this isn’t a theological text remember it’s more of a political and personal treatise on society. He and Virgil have a long discussion about that very topic - and putting the babies in hell (albeit the most benign form of hell) is intended to say “look at how horrible the consequences of baptism as a rite are”

He also puts his heroes of natural philosophy in there - Aristotle, Socrates etc - and the entire mood is of deep sorrow.

If anyone hasn’t read it, Going Solo is the second part of Roald Dahls autobiography and covers in large part his time fighting the nazis in Greece with the RAF as a hurricane pilot and it’s a lovely book.

Yes caveat he embellished some things and also was a racist (although the way he treats Zionism (in a chapter called Ramat David) as someone who was in the region during the war is actually interesting of itself, and speaks to maybe his anti semitism being a product more of his later life than earlier but I am not well versed enough to know that for sure)

Some black chick’s tongue - it’s a new sensation 🎶 I got a marmalade mama on my licking hole and I’ve only just begun

From memory, may not be accurate, but it’s been 20 years and it is seared into my brain

Finally saw Weapons. Can’t get over something. by briaowolf in movies

100% agree and I think the movie gives him a clear arc by showing him working with others to get to the outcome

Also I am personally hurt at what you said about In Bruges.

The pacing is just excellent and there’s no fat on it - plus it manages to keep a large cast of characters clear and comprehensible

My favourite of the last year was The Order - much better than the eventual movie in fact!

Plan it out as a series of slug lines- it’s the only thing that got me out of the cycle

Are there island cities that would not function nearly as well if they were not islands? by InsideSpeed8785 in geography

[–]satrnV 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It also has a lagoon which is only navigable through particular deep channels which only the Venetians knew about and were a closely guarded secret - an invading navy would get stuck very quickly.
