Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you're lucky.

  • Different people like different things and that's a good thing!

    I like short, tightly plotted series that have a story to tell, that tell the story, and then end. 6-8 episodes is about right. What really turned me off to longer series was a combination of 24 (there's a fistful of episodes in the middle where Bauer's wife or daughter - I forget which - gets kidnapped, escapes, has amnesia, gets kidnapped again, turns into a goose... I don't remember all the pointless timewasting filler details, but none of it was relevant to the actual story) and Lost (it became increasingly obvious that they hadn't actually written the whole story, didn't know what the fuck was going on, same as the rest of us, and were just making shit up as they went along, and that shit wasn't very good).

    The last line of my comment was me remembering the premise of this thread :)

  • TV series now have 25 episodes a season.

    Fuck no. That's how you get pointless fucking padding episodes halfway through the season where the plot and the characters just spin their wheels and nothing meaningful happens.

    But, obviously what I mean by that is that your way is the right way.

  • I mean, I don't disagree with anything you say, but that's because I have a progressive mindset. Which kind of was the point.

  • Yes, I agree.

    But surely you can acknowledge the possibility that some people believe transgenderism is an affront to god and an existential threat to children, or whatever, then their position is not dissimilar.

    That’s the issue. What makes ‘this is offensive’ more valid than ‘this is dangerous’?

    This is just another front in the war between religion and reason.

  • I mean it's not an easy question to answer is it? How is my ideological position that 'nigger' is not acceptable and removing it makes the book suitable for modern readers any different from someone else's ideological position that, e.g., 'transgender' is not acceptable and removing it makes whatever book suitable for modern readers?

  • Setting things up to allow him to become the world's first trillionaire.

    The important stuff is about crippling regulatory mechanisms, opening up huge government contracts, and dismantling workers rights. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.

  • A punchier example would be And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie - the best selling murder mystery of all time - which was first published as Ten Little Niggers
