I think evangelical over protestant would be even more appropriate.

Wasn’t there another soundtrack that just whispered ‘kwisatz haderach’ every time it was mentioned?

Haha yeah the sardukar intro scene was rad and hype. The ‘ooooooh bene gesseriiit aaaah bene gesseriiit’ however wasn’t

I think the first was way hornier for desaturation, I think the colours popped a bit more for the second BUT I was stoned in imax so maybe it’s just the nature of TV versus IMAX. Even the monotone geidi prime fucken popped in black and white. I also think the first used the soundtrack more awkwardly, I laughed out loud when the ship slowly emerged from the water and it blasted distorted bass, fucken hell Hans. The scene with the diagetic bagpipes fighting the soundtrack was also stupid.

Yeah there are issues, lots of weird pacing and plot points dropped, but the books are weird, too weird to be adapted properly, like the Duke Fenreng that communicates in a second language of ‘ah aaaah ah’. Also the issues are less apparent when you drink a bunch and get really high, like me. Explosions go boom, haha the SPICE shall flow. Honestly they did a lot really well, and I’m glad they didn’t go exposition heavy, some changes were good but ultimately we read the books so we have an different POV than the casual audience. I think the second was better than the first, mainly because there are parts of the first that make me laugh out loud, and the first hour is Villenueve desaturating colour on everything until the thopter scene .

@Dr. GonzoThis is as much as you’ll get from the west, which is a start but I’d like to see more from Albo, Wong however is right. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/zomi-frankcom-death-anthony-albanese-australia-outrage-benjamin-netanyahu

One is Australian, three Brits, one Pole, and an American-Canadian; lastly another Palestinian. This is beyond the pale, they were helping people. They were feeding the starving masses.

No I mean that movement of cash away from the league pyramid to the top dogs. The PL restructured the money away from the whole pyramid to the rope clubs exclusive to the PL

Sky and the Premier League created this precedent in the 90s

I know. It was a joke about Trump's nonsensical tweet.

Is one of those famous riddles I've heard so much about? Is the answer a bath towel?

I’d order a beer for the walk home, I didn’t even want the glass most of the time haha

Stickers?

Awesome. It’s like something Indiana Jones would have found by the holy grail

Yeah, we did it a lot as teens and more so in Oz. I’m thinking three times since I was a teenager. I must feel a bit frisky every three years or so

Haha, maybe Germany has more independent pubs but I know in Australia they are owned by pub barons, and in the UK major companies own most bars across the board. It’s so petty I can’t even register it as immoral especially when the group I was with ran up a large tab, a little recompense is what we need to smooth things over.

A lot of bars get them for free from distributors as a marketing deal for having certain beers on draught, and even more bars are owned by conglomerates.

Maybe it’s not stealing when you’ve already been robbed on the price of a beer.

Do you do it? Is it common in your culture? I don’t do it often but I can and I will. It’s completely normal in Australia, the USA it’s a bit more frowned upon I feel.

@BeelzebubChinese whispers

Yeah me too
