I apparently have one of these.
https://youtu.be/95YT209QZ_0?si=BI9V8NLXhAZWE0qc Business Insider did a video on these guys
Them releasing the soundtrack was a godsend for this kind of content
You say sensory nightmare (which okay, much of it still would be), I say stimming prison. Won't focus on shit because I'll be constantly rolling the smooth side of one of the larger tags for the glide
Actions of individuals which they pretty easily evidenced themselves for - regardless of the wider ethics or morality - versus large corporations and/or national infrastructure with issues spanning decades, and far greater avenues to obscure their responsibility within the legal system.Easier to pop a pimple than to treat cancer
Echoes of Julius Caesar remarking on the disdain for writing among the druids of Gaul
Huh, so that's how Fire Emblem Awakening feet work
They, supposedly, know all things that happen on Earth, though the chief example they give is total awareness of what happened in Troy
Regarding the 2nd, honestly an interesting aspect overlooked by most adaptations is that with the song, the Sirens promise *knowledge* as...
That is literally idealised curving without any regard for nominal geography, and that real world river doesn't actually properly lead *to* Olympus. It's the Pineios, and so veers east at the foothills to the sea - something not really shown in the film, where geography is very nuch artistic abstract. I think this movie gets an undue rap from 'mythological accuracy' nerds who haven't any ancient sources themselves, but in this instance I don't think it's a sly shout-out to the Theogony
The thing is that the average person is used to the image of coastal waters, whether in something they experience themselves, or in the evocative images of shipwrecks, corals, etc. Places that you can dive to in scuba gear. Places where you're truly off the continental shelf are, for most, quite alien to imagine, even with all the exposure in popular media
Yep. Confluence of circumstances, but I would particularly stress the second two - it's just not as much of an industry anymore, and there's much less dedication of resources and staff for this. Why go through all the effort of keeping an in-house songwriter and contact details for singers and bands you may or may not even use, if you can just leverage the soundtrack guy and put up the title for five seconds?
Strange, I read somewhere that empathy was a weakness. Hm...
"Captain, the Temporal Prime Directive--""Does not yet exist and therefore I shall weigh all options with due consideration."
And not even for Ireland! It was the island of Iona. It seems to have honestly been a medieval equivalent of going, "You know how we don't have Godzilla problems anymore? You're welcome."
The problem is that the 'Patrick's why the lack of reptiles' thing (and it *is* poisonous reptiles as a whole, not just snakes, in medieval sourcing) is downright mocked by one of the earliest mentions of it - Gerald of Wales. In his Topography of Ireland he cites it as being a stock claim about Irish Saints (not *just* Patrick either), and indicates it's just taking credit for solving something that was never a problem. Mind he follows Bede in thinking Irish soil is straight up poison repellant
Has been a key mantra of my life beyond my teens, honestly. The assurance that even if I don't reach my exact aims, I'll be higher than I ever was before has... been important, in this journey of self-actualisation as an autistic adultAlso fuck I would get mauled by so many stars
Ah, Toriyama-Sensei, you should have seen this
...you're telling me I could be using my certification for *this*!?
Your mama's so old she got swindled by Ea-Nasir
Limited animation man
What's funny about this is that, owing to 'Greek myth' not so much being a centralised religion as an array of local cults with a spectrum of shared ideas, while sources like Pindar, Pseudo-Apollodorus, and Philostratus have this (though as a note, P-A has Prometheus as an alternative to Hephaestus, not a partner in the deed), others - like the Homeric Hymn to Apollo - have Hephaestus be born as Hera's *response* to Zeus birthing a child solo (most sources don't seem to think Metis counted)
Feels like over here the equivalent of 'the ice cream machine is broken' is 'the receipt printer on the touchscreen till is broken'
That's more the other end of the spectrum, and is a very technically correct answer if you say 'might' instead of 'clearly'. An object and its placement *might* be some form of ritual (as humans invent all sorts of non-practical reasons for doing things that just cannot be discerned without cultural context), or... it might not. It's the perfect answer to have an answer, while not having an *actual* answer
CBM - Ceramic Building Material. The most generic piece of material possible
See, if I had found shit like that, rather than piece of CBM #2379, I might still be doing fieldworkBut real, that is a phenomenal piece, and their joy is entirely deserved
Ironically it's actually *after* the big one in HSWA. However, methinks it's also because of stuff like this there's some consideration towards the Working at Height regulations of 2005
On top of the geographical points made, that's also not how executive orders work. But then, it's theatre for his preferred audience,
