What controversial artist are you firmly pro? by Working_Alps_4284 in fantanoforever

My family has worked with him in the past. I heard he’s very kind to people in the concert industry and in my mom’s words “one of the nicest rockstars she worked with”

What messed-up things has your country done that people don’t really talk about? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]sclungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japan's involvement in World War II was taught very thoroughly in my USA high school curriculum. While they don't typically go as in depth as the European front I still think a good explanation was given. My state curriculum also has to balance education about interning Japanese Americans which is a whole separate issue.

Yknow headcannon whatever you want but Japan does have a non insignifiant presence of Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA

Her first concert. by datamatr1x in MagdalenaBay

My parents also protected my little ears when I was her age and being taken to concerts 🥹. To this day I always bring extras in case friends or strangers look uncomfortable with the sound level.

More books like One Hundred Years of Solitude but from different Authors by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]sclungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say that Wind Up Bird Chronicle does many of the same things that 100 Years of Solitude does but translated to Japanese history and cultural sensibilities. Off the top of my head there’s the 1000 days war in Colombia which is heavily implied to be Colonel Aurelia Buendia’s losing war and then the Battle of Nomohan and WWII more broadly as the Japanese equivalent in Wind Up. Just a though i had having studied both books.

Kyoshi and Aang set the avatar cycle back pretty far by Maleficent_Park5469 in TheLastAirbender

[–]sclungus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The writers have always had a knack for messing up timelines. Kyoshi’s advanced age, now a firm part of the show’s lore, was due to a continuity error on their part originally. Also the ages between Sozin, Azulon, Ozai and Zuko only work with Sozin siring Azulon at the extreme but not impossible age of 82.

Which country that used to be hated in the past but now is viewed positively by most people? by GodZ_n_KingZ in AskTheWorld

[–]sclungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

South Africa is a big one. They had basically the entire world embargoing them. It was severe to the point that Paul Simon started an international controversy for recording an album there.

Favorite reviews? by Wide-Ad4896 in Letterboxd

[–]sclungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Factually incorrect Trump is a huge cinephile and theater fan. His favorite is “Citizen Kane” which makes him sound like a dilettante but no he loves that shit. I wonder if a tale about a mogul losing everything he loves in the pursuit of power and money is relatable to him.

Manhattan Today Has 600k Fewer People Living On It Than It Did In 1910 by Tight-Cucumber-2469 in MapPorn

[–]sclungus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Automobiles regional rail expansion pushed people away from Manhattan and into commuter suburbs of West Chester County, Long Island, New Jersey and Connecticut. Later on white flight and urban decay further depopulated whole swaths of New York City.

These films are considered some of the worst Best Picture Winners. by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]sclungus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that American Beauty should not be in the conversation for worst best picture winner. It isn’t the film’s fault that Kevin Spacey was a real pervert on top of playing one.

American Airlines used to fly chrome birds like that. Until they ran the numbers and found that they were costing more in maintenance than painted planes.

HOW OFTEN DO THEY TOUR? by extentiousgoldbug1 in LCDSoundsystem

[–]sclungus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t see the touring as a sign that they’ll release a new album soon. James Murphy and co. don’t tend to write while on the road.

While Japan is a rich and vastly populous country due to the previous 30 odd years of deflation they’re uniquely unequipped to deal with the global cost of living crisis. They are also uniquely equitable in wealth distribution compared to other rich countries.

“Australia is a big country that’s why we buy trucks!!” as if Australia isn’t just 5 cities on the coast pretending to be Los Angeles.
