Is that $1 billion Amazon LOTR TV show worth watching if you only have maybe an hour or so a week to devote to it and you are a medium LOTR fan at best who mostly just liked the movies, read The Hobbit and part of the Silmarillion 20 years ago, and never saw the Hobbit movies?

It’s okay

Cool. Thanks.

My next job is convincing the wife to go for it. She liked GoT, but wasn't super interested in the spinoff (neither was I to be fair).

I tried to make the case for West World as our next show, but it was her turn and I failed to convince her away from Bridgerton.

Season 1 of Westworld is amazing television. You can just pretend the show stopped there and go away happy.

The one that annoyed me was that it was a "twist" that Jimi Simpson and Ed Harris were the same character. Like, that's not how aging works in real life! We would've known they were the same guy if they actually were! And they're supposed to be! Arrgh!

Good show tho.

it's borsch, but borshch is also fine i guess. the word is борщ in ukrainian, whereas a t in ukrainian looks like т, and may be conspicuously absent from the name of the soup named after one of its origianl ingredients, hogweed – борщівник

the spelling most commonly used by americans, in my experience, is from yiddish, rather than any of the slavic languages. and still mangled i think, because iirc that version of the word transliterates to borsht

In Finnish it's just called borssikeitto (borssi soup), but I suppose that is cultural imperialism.

i don't know why wikipedia says it's from yiddish, "borscht" with the -scht spelling is from plautdiesch. that's not mangled, it's just how it's spelled.

I think the conversation has moved on in USCE, but what does one call oneself if they recognize none of the better things can be built in their lifetime, and more than likely dying to make way for said better things is the best they can hope for (if they insist on hoping for better things *gestures at climate change*).
Like, destruction bad creation good is a pretty commonly held belief, but if one recognizes that what we have is unacceptable and all avenues of reform are laughable, what can they call themselves but a comic book supervillian?

I would believe in society, I used to so much. I used to be jr captain America votescold and somehow never got my rear end kicked telling cars and basements full of sometimes dangerous (fellow) burnouts and criminals that they couldnt complain if they didn't try to fix things. I worked a manufacturing job and my minor ascension ended not when I quit, but when my boss (absolutely correctly) told me the work I was focusing on was a waste of time because although it was necessary to improve things, it was not matched before or after me, and therefor meaningless, and I had to work with what I had.

I could believe again, but for the terrible cost of our extraction consumption and exploitation. Not enough people take personal responsibility, and the ones who do become... unhealthy. What is left but laughing into the void?

I haven't give up paying attention, trying to stay informed and educate myself enough to spread the word. But academia on a wholly restructured understanding of global power is, sadly, merely content for posters. It's increasingly only useful to me as a method of highlighting the failures of the world we currently face.

Honestly I think the idea that I could participate in building (nevermind enjoy) a better world is toxic positivity hubris. We're pretty lucky here in the heart of the last peak of material comfort... but not that lucky. So how could I sincerely identify with anything aside from "not this, at all cost, cuz it's already costing everything"

Edit: OK I'm over that, gonna try to reconcile marvel supervillians with mfdoom already existing (don't even wanna get into pop culture Thanos appreciation).
