My handwriting is bad for the last 40 years and my hands are much slower than my thoughts, so I would be 10 sentences ahead in the "writing process". Also: In the end, Stephenson has people to type it for him later to get it published (imho)

Time to rewatch Clash of the Titans!

Ah yes, all those weapons in the Garden of Eden. And the fruit was an AR-15. And the snake was truly ... gun control?

Hyper-Individualism: "When i can make money, it is good. Nothing else is good."

I believe, this is one of those "Give me attention!"-posters, who posts this kind of stuff to any person, who does not block them automatically :/

I found it interesting and weird and sometimes cringy as hell ... time to give it a rewatch some time soon.

I believe, Ray Bradbury said (paraphrasing): "the first million words are training."

Huge agreement, America has some structural educational issues (depending on State), and sure we can always improve. But Trumpism isn’t the result of people being poorly educated, presented with a very obvious flimflam man they supported him _because_ of his vulgarity. This is a character issue.

rewatched 1-3 2 weeks ago again. The chair-stacking scene is already amazingly done. If anyone would ask me about "What should be the first horror movie I will ever watch" I would say Poltergeist (but not for younger people, the gory face scene will disturb them probably a little bit)

I believe, MAGA-people embrace him like an old pagan god, who promises everything, but totally loves blood sacrifices. They see all those GOP-people and tech-bros as priests of old magic and power.

In Germany, the Satanic Panic arrived in the early/mid 2000s. One of my grandmothers "favorite" about it was a german brand called "Bombastus", which was another name of Paracelsus, so alchemic. The next problem was usually Proctor and Gamble, the satanic stars ^^

I had the backwards-rock-books and the satanism-in-music books (and the apocalypse fiction stuff), yeah.

I had the problem not with a videogame, but with the song "All I Wanna Do" by Sheryl Crow, because Crows are evil and "All I wanna do" was connected to Aleister Crowleys "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law" 🫣

when I went full pentecostal in 1992, I deleted/destroyed so many games and gave books and movies away. Fantasy-based media was satanic.

Die Rückkehr der Videorekorder folgt, natürlich zu den üblichen 70er und 80er Jahre-Preisen :|
