It's not like you need a special pillow. But as it happens I have a triangular one which I use for sitting up and watching screen and then it transfers between my legs very effectively, as long as my dog doesn't object to me moving an inch once she's settled

It's like when all the Russian channels suddenly start showing Swan Lake instead of news. This is the signal that you need to join your comrades in the streets and dust off your guillotine

Chubby Henparty posted:We've had the cucumber discussion before. A friend of mine has the cucumber gene and knows if she's in the room with one, like some sort of side character from Vic Reeves Big Night Out. The myth goes it is similar to the American brown snake so she'll be safe from that, or doubly paranoid about salad. Yeah we have, I remember ranting because I am also a Cucumber Mentat and places are always putting it in the water and it tastes like doo-doo water

I think there's just a lot more famous people now, or at least vaguely-recognisable people. And every single one of their deaths is disseminated on social media and the MSM. If you know of a few thousand people and many of them are Olds then yeah there's gonna be a steady stream of dying in your feed

Mesopotamia posted:I have this hunch the intro music started out intending to sound like the kind of tacky poo poo someone like Kendal would listen to ("it's classy piano, right, but it's got a hip hop beat and sub bass"), but ended up being taken seriously because a load of people liked it. It's proper shite. Counterpoint, it's a very catchy theme with a melody that's earwormy despite going outside its key maybe 4 times - it makes it fun to noodle. And the exact elements you describe (slightly gauche faux-classical melody mixed with modern subs and a beat) perfectly complements the thematic elements of vulgar rich idiot being supplanted by his clan of equally vulgar rich idiot kids who have pretensions of being cool and "with it".

MeinPanzer posted:Can't believe people think the Succession theme is bad. For everyone speculating about how it's meant to be interpreted, here's the composer, Nicholas Brittel, talking about it: This is a dumb writeup, because a waltz rhythm would have worked and would maybe have been a way of depicting the struggle between the 3 main characters i guess but... it's not a waltz, it's in 4/4. And everyone forgets about the real Eldest Boy!

Just Another Lurker posted:I recommend "Knives Out" for some inheritance related drama. Good film. Also, if you want something which probably provided inspiration to Succession, try Festen, the 90s Danish movie. It's the first of the Dogme films so it has that really pretentious handheld art-film style, but it's also excellent and dark and awkward as all hell

smellmycheese posted:Robocop was on ITV4 last night and good lord does it feel tight, to the point of insanely rushed, compared to how that kind of thing.would be produced now. It would be the final episode of season 1 before Murphy even gets shot to bits by the bad guys. Well, it is a movie (I mean I know there was a tv show but I assume they're not re-airing that?)

I guess I only mentioned it recently but Mad Men owns, I'm only halfway through but I slept on it for way too long. Just a complete idiot bumbling his way to success because he's a tall white guy with a deep voice, it's hilarious and even more hilarious that goons started modelling themselves on Don Draper

Private Speech posted:That's honestly been a popular solution for a while, also similar for non-EU with other more permissive EU countries back when that was an option. Thanks for the vote of confidence, lol. But yeah, if you can find somewhere to live in Ireland it seems a lot better than the bleak fash landscape of Toryland these days. And having gone through visa stuff with my non-EU partner it's permissive and easy as hell here compared to most places

el dingo posted:Lol yeah tell me about it. To get a working visa for the UK about 12 years ago the form was about 50 pages, I gave up and paid a lawyer about £250 to do it for me. Took about a month I've managed to renew my Irish passport online and have it delivered to my house within 24 hours. Despite the usual generalised awfulness of bureaucracy, some specific parts can work extremely well

It's a bit of an internet cliché, but insanely accurate for my generation: Plants are the new pets. Pets are the new kids. Kids are like the new exotic animals, where you need to be incredibly wealthy and slightly insane to have them.

Guavanaut posted:Some anthropologists speculate we could go back to alloparenting once the system of patriarchal property rights that sustained the nuclear family collapses in on itself. That would be cool actually, I'm sorry not to have lived in such an era. I have no interest in kids myself but I might be willing to put in like, 5% parenting effort for some of my niblings or my mates' kids.

My mother-in-law died a few years ago and if someone pulled that on me they'd be getting a "the gently caress is your problem?" at the very least. (Because I'm a hard man, ouuuu )

Fatty posted:Probably been posted here before, but I just heard this on 6Music and it immediately made me think of the UKMT. Can confirm, this goes. I had a UKMT-related chuckle at "choking down some gammon" alright. My one note - the bit about snorting coke through a note with the Queen's face seems like a missed opp for an Elizabeth Line reference
