@jodi said in Valhalla has dropped....:

I didn’t watch the original. But I’m liking this one.

The original is MUCH better. It's also, for the most part, historically accurate. Really compelling characters.

I may be wrong here, but my experience last night was probably the fault of the driver - she dropped the wrong order off.

However, when an order is partially correct, I think it's the fault of the restaurant. After all, they're the ones who put it in the bag.

Is that right?

On our 5th viewing and I’m still enjoying it!

Haha same here, it's been easier to understand on repeating (many many) viewings. We've probably listened to the soundtrack 100x, too. My daughter likes to ask Google to play music during dinner. I don't mind it, it's fun.

A Finnish fox indeed.

Well, I'm not a native speaker, so maybe I'm missing some nuance, but "cue a war" sounds like a pretty clear suggestion to me that there is some kind of causal connection between the COVID bruhaha and this war.

By the way, otherwise I like Gina, even if she occasionally talks nonsense on Twitter 🙂

If your Occam’s razor is that she thinks the richest and probably most powerful person in the world was bought off to start a war, ok then. But other more reasonable interpretations of her message are available.

Maybe writing in plain English rather than clickbait bollocks would be a good idea?

Then we'd actually know what they meant.

That's what I'm finding difficult. Why write it in this way?

Writing in short declarative statements.
Implication of great wisdom.
No evidence needed or given.
It's what they want you to think.
Fuck knows why.
A ruthless hegemony undermined by minor celebrities masquerading as prophets.
If challenged can deny meaning.
Twitter word limit.

Yeah, it reads like Bukowski if he hung out with the Lone Gunmen all day instead of drinking his ass off.

The Bronx will always be the Bronx.

@George-K

Pardon my stupid, but...what's to prevent the Ukrainians from going to their Ace Hardware and picking up a can of Krylon to protect their own armor?

Nothing and it’s not a stupid question to ask. But then again, it’s not a Hollywood movie those two armies are in either.

@Renauda you married well.

But, you knew that, right?

Inclusion is our strength.

She remains a horrible scary monster.

This part wouldn't be that tough.

Land of the Snowflakes.

The penalty for protesting in Russia is 20 years in a Russian prison. You've got to really be committed to what you're protesting to risk that. Yet around 6,000 Russians have been arrested for protesting this war. From what I've heard, there is only 1 person in all of Russia in favor of this invasion, and that is Putin himself.

There has been much talk from several directions over the past 2 days questioning Putin's sanity. Even some of Putin's inner circle of wealthy oligarchs are calling for peace. The Ruble has collapsed. Putin is actually facing the potential collapse of Russia itself.

A large number of that 150,000 strong military Putin has had positioned around Ukraine for the last 4 months are conscripts, don't know why they're there, don't want to be there, don't want to invade Ukraine to start with, and are having trouble getting food and fuel.

Even if Putin manages to take Ukraine he will never be able to hold it. So he has already lost, even if he takes Ukraine. Already some other non NATO countries are talking about wanting to join. Putin had hoped to create divisions among the various nations of Europe, but the exact opposite has happened.

No matter what happens, 2 things are definite: 1. Putin will never hold Ukraine, and 2. Putin's time is over. Am very very proud of the people of Ukraine. Very proud.
