It turns out that if I watch Twin Peaks tonight I'll have to wait two nights before I have time for the last episode.

This was baaaaaad idea. My office is gone and I'm too stupid to get it back without having to pay a hundred dollars. Try LibreOffice?

(about Saga, not the studying - I hope that gets better!) 5 hours ago, Buckwheat said: Oh. I always thought if Christmas as having de-religiosified itself (I just made up that word, deal with it ) much more than Easter and everything else with all the secularised gift-giving and trees and whatnot. Hmm... from a non-religious perspective, I've generally seen Christmas as the more important Christian holiday, but perhaps that's just because it's more important as a secular holiday while still having strong connections to religion. For us, Easter is basically just about eating chocolate eggs on a long weekend, so I guess there's a much bigger difference in importance as seen by Christians and non-Christians.

That is my point: it is more important as a secular holiday. You will not see as many mainstream family movies praising 'the magic of Easter' as you do with Christmas. Those representations and gift-giving and going to Christmas markets are completely secular. I suppose I just do not know of any secular Easter traditions being practised widely around my places to overshadow the religious aspects. Instead, you will get a report on the pope's mass or something. (Btw, if that was not clear, I am not a Christian either.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhaenysBee Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Okay this is funny. Or at least educational. There's a new reality show I think which comes with lots of billboards featuring a huge female ass in thong or a couple in swimsuit lewdly making out on a beach or a lewd lady facing the camera. Now about 80% of graffiti in the city is political (support this - this is stupid - you are stupid - no you are / this person is evil - no you are evil - no you are - no you are / etc) but some surprisingly wise person actually decided to be constructive about their graffiti and sprayed white paint on the not child friendly parts of these posters and wrote "there are children here" on them. It's interesting because I never exactly picked up on how inappropriate that commercial is as we are all sort of used to that kind of stuff on tv and social media and basically everywhere, but yeah, this person is actually right, I mean is there no regulation for the content of these billboards? There was a political billboard last year featuring a giant hand giving a middle finger. I mean, can you put anything up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I learned that 'khal' means vinegar in Arab. That shines a new light on our favourite Dothraki leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khal is an altered version of Khan which means king. GRRM often alters real life names and title with a letter or two to make it original (Oberoyn, Jonaos, sier, Daario, Robb etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
