Another male power fantasy where one man solves all the worlds problems using only violence and everyone around him is amazed.

Oh! And its ok when he does it because he was trained by a super cool secret agent program you guys don't know about they're in another school.

They are everywhere. I'm a microplastic and think its too much.

Thank you for your comment it was thought provoking.

I definitly agree with "The film also showed that Oppenheimer himself was naive, thinking that "better I do this than evil men" assumes you can control what you build after you build it. The politics was the battle for control of the bomb, and the realisation that he lost that control as soon as it was complete."

But as for how I personally view the event... I went to see a movie and in how I personally view a movie it failed to justify its length and its non-linear presentation.

If I consider the event, I view it as a fixed point in time, something done that cannot be undone and arguing for or against it is tangential. There are lessons to be learned, like what you have pointed out that I agree make a compelling case study. But if that was the takeaway from Oppenheimer, then you just did a better job of telling it than the movie. Short, succinct, to the point.

I did not need Florence Pugh to be riding his dick at a commitee hearing to get that the hearings were uncomfortable, y'know?

I... didn't enjoy this one. Two white dudes fussing over their reputation across three hours of meetings. In a non-linear style.

The biggest issue I have with it is myself. I wanted a story about problem solving, in this case building, testing and deploying the first nuclear weapon before the nazis and I didn't get it.

I know I should review a film for what it is trying to be and not what I want it to be but I just couldn't with Oppenheimer. It felt like it was trying too hard to subvert expectations and keep me engaged with a lame duck parlor trick, and it could have been so much better.

No issues with the acting, cinematography though.

Hello Metal Detectors perhaps you can help me: I'm into all sorts of music and I've listened to modern day metal.

What confuses me is that Led Zeppelin has also been described as Metal and Heavy Metal. I listened to Led Zeppelin 4 and it has accoustic folk songs on it.

So I guess my question is when did todays metal start to sound like metal? Is there any connective tissue with Metal in the late '60s / early '70s and now?

This too, is a conspiracy...

I am 40 and ready to die.

So its half accurate.

I can't imagine a world where the Honey-Badger is even more angry.

Well let me put it another way. Lets say your favourite meal is Steak. I don't know what it really is, it should automatically be Pizza, but for the purposes of this metaphor, its Steak.

Imagine the only meal you will have for the rest of your life is steak. It will not be possible the enjoy that. We need variety, even if we crave for specifics. And what Lemmy currently lacks is variety. Not variety in memes its currently aceing that. But... sometimes I want Pizza not a can if beans.

*written while hungry.

My biggest concern is that Memes are the most prevalent content in Lemmy. Its like I'm back on 9gag in the mid-2000s.

Its called 'A case of conscience' from 1958!

(Sorry for the late reply I'm at work)

Hi! I was listening to a podcast awhile ago that stuck with me and they discussed a book I am struggling to remember the name of. In it, a religious man travels to a planet of intelligent alien life to make first contact.

All the aliens live peacefully, in harmony with the enviroment. There is no crime, poverty or muder. Everyone is kind to each other. But not a single being on the planet has ever heard of God, or made contact with any divine being. This troubles the protaganists conscious as they found an perfect balance of life without any guide. When he returns to Earth, he is told that the Devil must have invented the aliens to test his faith.

Thats all the details I can remember but it was a fair and unbiased story and it came to mind with all the recent news nentioned above. Thats all.

What would spez character sheet look like?

Anyone else hear Booker T shouting "RESPEEEEEC"!
