SlipUp posted:well all you need is a long spine board and a gallon of water. you can find these things almost anywhere. some recommend a towel wrapped around the face but the only important detail is to keep the feet elevated. if he's doing well, don't forget to pop him one in the mouth for resisting. then before you go home tie him up in a stress position by a florescent light, jam a tube down his throat, and leave him with nothing but drowning pool's hit single "let the bodies hit the floor" at 100 decibels. Speaking of torture, there's some wonderful literature about the Algerian war of independence: one being 'a savage war of peace,' about the whole history and another called 'la question,' about a dude's ordeal being tortured by the paras. The epilogue to one or the other or both is that these guys, by torturing the hell out of people for ephemeral short term gains, ultimately cost them the war. The torturers then went on to spread their 'expertise' to countries in latin america and the US and elsewhere. This is all a short time after a lot of French people were liberated from concentration camps of course.

Dr. Faustus posted:I work there, and it's not that bad. If it was muggy you were probably here on one of the days when the a/c wasn't working properly. It's usually quite comfy on the concourses when I go down there. The carpet is constantly being replaced. The clientele is amazingly diverse because we are an international hub city (with something like the 6th highest passenger volume in the entire world, so your statement rings quite false). I don't know, do you mostly just slum around the regional jet scene? Nothing wrong with being proud of where you work. I commend you, hoss. My lovely experiences aren't your fault. I won't walk any of that back, however.

Even in his acceptance speech he said he didn't deserve it. I guess you should get some kind of award just for not being George W. Bush, but still.

Majorian posted:Anybody who doesn't like those movies instantly loses all credibility with me. They would've been way more entertaining if Peter Jackson was limited to the budget, set, and prop department from Meet the Feebles.  Mauser posted:So a while back someone posted a link to the song "Come all ye coal miners" and there was a bit of Appalachia chat. I was wondering if any of you know of any good documentaries or movies set during industrialization with a focus on labor movements. I have a feeling that it would pair well with the bottle of whiskey and foul mood I have at the end of a long work week. laters~ There's a PBS doc from about 20 years ago on the '34 textile workers strike that focuses on the violence and fallout from the strikes on the communities involved. Not Appalachia exactly, but a significant chunk of the workers involved their families came down from the mountains to work in mills when timber companies came in and ruined subsistence farming a generation prior. http://www.pbs.org/pov/uprisingof34/ http://www.der.org/films/uprising-of-34.html

Remember that the former struggled and died en masse fighting royalists and fascists, rather than promoting neo-feudalism. lack of state = lack of ability to keep the creepy ancap guys from running their thing while simultaneously the ancap guys cant get the classical anarchist guys from doing their own thing in their own little areas. meanwhile everyone who isn't an insane person is working to rebuild a state if at all possible, and will succeed sooner or later because states are inherently more resilient. in summary: states inherently own and anarchism is mostly an outdated response to the fact that no truly populace-focused states existed for a long rear end time

That needs to be juxtaposed with some Rumsfeld. Did we torture people? No! Should we have done it? Possibly. Was it the right thing to do at the time? Sure! Would we do it again? You tell me.

ReindeerF posted:Also, as has been pointed out, it has about ten endings. I mean because I grew up in that specific era where Tolkein and D&D all really first created the Orcs & Wizards World As We Know It it was still great for me, but if I didn't have a childhood of memorizing armor classes and re-reading The Hobbit I'd probably be like, "Oh for gently caress'S SAKE" by the time Bilbo sails off with the Elvises. Yeah, I'm a big fan of The Silmarillion too, so some of those endings meant a lot to me, particularly the scene at the Grey Havens. But I also totally get that that's super inside-baseball, and I don't expect most people to have the same emotional reaction to it as me. Still, I think people overstate how much of a problem the multiple endings were. It's the last thing they remember from the movies, sure, but one would hope that other parts would have stuck with them. The Battle of Pelennor Fields, Shelob, the Witch King, Mount Doom? I'd hope that those scenes would at least balance out the weird ending pacing for most people. quote:I think you're maybe close to my age HA, so if you lived through the horror of watching animated orcs sing "Where There's A Whip, There's A Way" you will be forever grateful to Peter Jackson. Oh holy poo poo, this. I watched those when I was pretty young (like, grade school? They were on TV), and I definitely appreciated them, but hoo boy, does some of it not age well. Yeah, it definitely made me appreciate Peter Jackson's adaptations when they came out. comes along bort posted:the bearded dude near the end with the cap and overalls who sounds like jesco white (that really narrows it down in that video i know) is orville hicks, a professional storyteller You know, I'm sure his personal politics would be abhorrent to me, but I don't care.

Yeah, but the "we tortured some folks" wasn't the worst part. The worst part was when he said basically, "Can't judge these policies because we are safe now. If you think we shouldn't have done it then you essentially wish that there would have been more terror attacks. Look forward, not backwards. No take-backs."
