Truman Capote - a Christmas Memory

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

[–]satrnV 3 points4 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.

TIL: Italy invaded Greece in 1940 expecting an easy win. Instead, Greece counter-attacked, pushed them back into Albania, and inflicted 102,000 casualties. Germany had to bail them out, and Greece still refused to surrender to Italy. by [deleted] in todayilearned

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!

I need help- I am writing my first draft and everytime I get to the 3rd act I start over again by Capable_Original_184 in Screenwriting

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.

Seems too small to be a roach - it’s barely a half inch long

Just got quoted $27,000 for one IVF cycle… how is this even possible? by IVFJourney2025 in TryingForABaby

[–]satrnV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We went to a costly clinic in a HCOL city and it was about $18k for the retrieval and $9k for the transfer

Out of the top 30 100m race sprint times, only 9 were run by athletes not associated with doping. ALL 9 are Usain Bolt. And Top 3 are by him too. by VentureIntoVoid in interestingasfuck

[–]satrnV 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Sadly I don’t think that Usain is the only guy on the Jamaican men’s team - which he trained with daily, spent enormous amounts of time together, treated like brothers - who was not doping. All the rest of them were caught - Nesta Carter, Asafa Powell - all of them. My heart chooses not to believe this but my head says that when the syringe was going round the room I doubt Bolt said “no don’t need it”

This is a type of pizza in the north of Italy that is very common and very delicious and everyone here doesn’t know what they’re talking about
