I've frequently thought one of the greatest triumphs of modern western propaganda is its ability to make people think everyone else believes it, so you'd better at least pretend to believe it also, lest ye be accursed...

Something like that, at least. But realistically, most people are mostly sane most of the time. Humanity is vulnerable, but resilient.

Thanks for the reply, been wondering still. Cheers

Definitely true, but the Koch brothers and their take over of the tea party probably have some thoughts on what can be accomplished via well funded activists.

Certainly not the man responsible for the state's publication of these guidelines.

Not sure how speeds compare but my first backup took around two months to finish (then just continually updates in background). I went for it when a hdd failure near ruined me...

I hate to shill for anything but I use a backup service called backblaze, nearly 6.5tb I can get to remotely, but yeah... takes forever and would die with a bandwidth cap.

Reading the Wheel of Time books is like being in an abusive relationship, it treats you good, it treats you bad, you hate yourself for loving it and love yourself for hating it. You may break away for a while (it's much more than a bit bogged down, a decent editor could've cut four or five books worth easily), but you keep going back even though you know there's nothing left but pain and regret.

10/10 would recommend.

That was the first thing that struck me...

The Butlerian Jihad was literally the salvation of humanity and the direct avoidance of extinction, so now they've gone and replaced a good jihad with a good crusade.

Then, Paul's jihad is a looming horror he's desparate to avoid or mitigate though he knows it can't be stopped, so by making it a crusade, they're making those noble fremen into dirty colonialist crusaders.

Can we get Maree Stoermer Coleman screaming deus vult in the next trailer maybe...?

Archive is redirecting brave browser on mobile to a compatibility page, but loads fine for a split second before the redirect... Blah. Don't think it was doing this yesterday but sadly unreadable with brave on mobile.

Also lol @nyt

I agree completely, the wide range of people is a big part of how reddit maintains its hegemony. I'm hopeful that as it descends further into an open echo chamber, more people will drift away, and hopefully maybe some of those drift here.

I'd also like a pony, while I'm at it.....

Wait, reddit admins responded when you messaged antonio for access? Shit, I wouldn't have sent a damn message had I thought about it.

In the long run it's probably better, it's hard to get away from ease and convinience like commie reddit offers.

Honestly, the "I Hate Niggers" sign from the movie would probably be less offensive to a good number of people.
