I'm in the camp of hating Tom Bombadil

The ancient Romans were not inclusive, diverse and pro-immigration. Anyone who tells you that is an activist and a liar. Ancient Rome was brutal. Compared to other period civilizations, it was indeed more tolerant in certain civic areas. But as a general rule, with some exceptions, Rome was mainly about power, which was imposed and maintained through force, intimidation and punishment. The land hungry system constantly devoured foreign territory, which it exploited through taxation, labor and slavery. Anyone who rebelled was mutilated, publicly executed and made an example for others. Rome's strength was not "inclusivity" nor "diversity". It was ruthless might.

@LibertyCappy Prohibition worked oh so well in the US. Albanian and Pakistani mobsters will have a massive windfall.

Brits, you ready to toss the tea into the harbor?

@trad_west_ Please. Byzantium.

They should make a Bob Lazar horror game. I would play the shit out of that. Imagine the quests!

This is also true of politics.

CAS is king, after artillery. Both remain undefeated.

Sometimes visual media can't fully get across the feel of a book they're based on, unless they meander away from the original description. A good example is the film Dagon, which is based on The Shadow Out of Innsmouth. Now, in the story, Lovecraft describes the monsters as hopping, slithering fish-frog hybrids. It's creepy in the story, but frankly, it can be a challenge for a movie to make fish-frogs very scary. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's also not trivial. So Stuart Gordon decided to take the easy way, and made his hybrid sea-creature/humans based off octopi and squid rather than fish. This made his life a lot easier. Yeah he still had monsters with sharp fangs and pop-eyes and webbed hands, and he didn't specifically call out octopuses, but it made his Deep One effective and creepy for a modern audience. So even as a total Lovecraft purist I approved. Maybe someday technology will advance to the point that we can make the Gillman creepy instead of just monstrous. 1/2

@AcademicAgent_X Freedom units not French units

Stones and lbs better for weight of a person Feet and inches better for height Miles for a journey More human. Giving these measurements in other units is foreign.
