Farman [any]

No he didnt he has the same degree in the same uni as our big wet boy.

Brazil.

Great photography. Great actors good sets. Relatable charachters. And it perfectly encapsulates the curent trends of the world.

I tougth he was. Then i guess there arent any good ones after all.

Modesty is a cultural framework. If our current society had evolved fron the cultural norms of the yanommame what we consider an aceptable amount of clothes to wear would be much less. In the culture of cartoon bears it is very unusual to wear pants. In the culture of these girls wearing an abaya or similar clothing is the aceptable standard.

Imagine you get transported to an alterative reality were the french goverment banned pants as to make you conform to cartoon bear culture. You would likley be uncomfrtable.

Exactly. He just goes with the flow. No soul of his own. Just another cog in a fascist machine.

This is even more notisable when you compare him with other heninlein protagonists who are also teenagers and join the army or simmilar institutions. They have their own agendas and goals.

Some people want to dress modestly. Would you feel uncomfrtable if they told you to strip at school?

The best one is the scyfi mini series. They have awsome sets and coustumes. The did change some things but not as much as the old one. The old one sucks in all aspects except their casting for paul is the best. The new one has by far the best casting(except gor paul) but some of the lines are delivered wierdly and the sets and the contrast of the colors is a bad choise.

Heinlein also claimed the book its “swiftian in intent” its just done dry. And probably wouldnt have been adapted well to tv.

That being said in the book it was clear carmencita was way out of jhonys league and he was very aware of that. While other heinlenian heroes are generally horny.

Another difference from the heinlenian hero is that jhony is not very smart. He lacks agency and any positive agenda. He just stumbles around.

Taras bulba. the american version focuses way too much on the love story. The sets are awfull. Taras does not even get burned at the stake.

The russian verssion is better. But it still misses the point. It plays it straigth while the book is suposed to be satire. They kill his wife at the begining using it as a justification for the war, when she should die at the end as a consequence of taras being an ass.

The point of the book is to show that the myths of the russian frontiersman are bullshit, because if they really acted like taras does they would all get whiped out.

Gogol is still an arch reactionary and you can tell he geuinley beleves some of the things he is moking. So its suposed to have a silly ironic self mocking sligthly nhilist tone. Remininicent of a lot of stuff in the internet. But both adaptations play it straigth and pay too much atention to the polish girl.

I posted several patagraphs you respond with a onliner i respond with a onliner because thats what you deserve.

Aparently it really aplies to you or you wouldnt be this mad. Im guess im sorry you ferl insecure about your intelligence.

You are the one trying to start shit here. If you had a more nuanced response. In this case, an example would be descriving your experience. You would get a more nuanced response. See the other guy.

But im glat i touched a sore spot for you.

Of course. Humans are not clones. As long as they are not there is some variance due to physiological inherited factors.

That being said a lot of intelligence can be trained.

And a lot of it is culturally loaded. Im sure the average paleolithic hunter gatherer was smarter than me because they have to constantly solve complex problems. While people today rely on civilization to take on the load.

We dont actually do t need to be that intelligent know a days. And actually very few people relly care about it. For example there is some disiese going around that has about 7% chance of leaving you mentally handicapped. And you can catch it reapeatedly. No one really cares. Because they never came to a situation were their inherent intelligence was the bottleneck to solve a problem. Once eventually everyone loses 10or 20% of their intelligence they will still be fine.

So most of these asholes going woe is me im so samart. 1-Are not really that smart. 2-inherent phisiological limitations to cognitive avility have never been an actual limitation in their lives.

The iq is bullshit in the sense the the tests are bullshit. Only the part testing working memory relates to those innate charachteristics.

Maybe you just dont remember it well because you are not very smart.

Maybe yoy just dont remember it well because you are not ver smart.

They once had me take one of those horoscopes and one part of it was a rorschach test. How is that not quakery.

Another part was to have me write a short text wich fair enough.

fill in mulltiple choise questions that were deliveratly obtuse and ambigous.

The only part that i would expect to corrrelaete with intelligence was when i had to memorize a string of numbers and repeat it after a while. But even then this is an ability you can train.

None of those are pro iran.

A reminder that we dont know if this is true or not. And if its true what really happened. Most western news on iran are like those on north korea greatly exagerated or completly made up.

Iran still is. They are the main ones arming palestinians.
