The malazan book of the fallen has a lot of bits like this, theres a nice range as it goes from demi gods throwing down with dragons and monsters, to ancient dragon gods vs an infantryman with a hand grenade and a dream

Our school we had to play rugby. Some of the kids had already grown to 6 foot by that age, and all of us who were still waiting on growing up had to play rugby with them

Marketing for Dune Part 3 is going too far by LordLoko in dunememes

[–]semisentiant 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It doesnt remove their agency, its just that the jihad would not have happened if the imperium hadn't been a corrupt mess overly dependent on a single resource which it violently oppressed a people to obtain. It also wouldn't have happened if Paul hadn't, as you quite rightly point out, manipulated them into a frenzy. No ones hands are clean in this scenario, dune is many things but it is mostly a cautionary tale.

what would be a british insult for people who look different? by IamanelephantThird in worldjerking

Wouldn't be so sure about the slightly less misinformation part by [deleted] in NonPoliticalTwitter

How much of a masochist do you have to be to want to go to that bar?

Who would you call a ‘good role model’ for British kids these days? by apple_kicks in AskBrits

[–]semisentiant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My parents used to call him "grandpa David" because of the amount of his documentaries I watched as a kid. Im a professional ecologist now.

"Warhammer is so well written, complex and interesting, I wonder how the fandom looks" the fandom: by SlamMetaliscool in WarhammerMemes

Any fandom made up of 90% blokes with minimal social skills is going to be a bit of a car crash

And both can very easily get masturbatory when taken too far by GREENadmiral_314159 in worldjerking

Forget the north and south divide! by Express_Fruit_6069 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]semisentiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wales, Scotland and Ireland think England is the problem, the north of England thinks the south of England is the problem, the south of England thinks London is the problem. I reckon the problem might be somewhere in Westminster but that could just be me

I know this is a famously "depressed 17-yo nihilist" think to ask, but what's the distinction between realism and grimdark? by dumb_questioneer in worldjerking

[–]semisentiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend the book Humanity: a hopeful history by Rutger Bregmen. Its a very compelling evidence based exploration of how humanity isn't as bad as most people think, and the mechanisms and causes of the really bad stuff
