Bloody Wakanda.
Now, don’t get me wrong, for those marvel type films that I take the kids to, Blank Panther was enjoyable enough and it’s significance exceeds the films content.
However, the whole mythology of the place was they were above, war, greed, infighting etc. etc. and existed in sharp contrast to the rest of the world.
The film then descends into exactly those behaviours, showing that human nature can’t be overridden.
And yet we still hear it referenced as some sort of utopian ideal.
Kanye West the latest in case you’re wondering why mention it.

It was also very much an isolationist, protectionist mythological location.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

No, that would be a valid post, but I do hear the Wakanda thing from other sources.rjsterry said:

Kanye should be a shoe in for president though. He is as unhinged and narcissistic as the incumbent.0 -

I've always wondered what it would be like for elderly people who have to struggle with packaging on a daily bases. How many of them end up in casualty because they've had a fight with a milk bottle seal or the above, or those damn shrink wrapping they do on fish/meat etc and a knife/pair of scissors?johnnyfartpants said:When the sticky label on the plastic bag which holds the bread air tight is too difficult to peel apart!

A company recently sent me an email by way of an apology. Maybe it's because I'm pushing 40 but I really didn't appreciate being addressed by my first name.0

Ugh. Overfamiliarity in business correspondence is the worst. Especially as it's so obviously insincere.nickice said:A company recently sent me an email by way of an apology. Maybe it's because I'm pushing 40 but I really didn't appreciate being addressed by my first name.

Threads with misleading titles. I went to see what the latest 'unpopular opinion' was and instead I find a tribute to Crufts!1

Trying to arrange a holiday in the UK. Always seems incredibly expensive and requires booking ages in advance.0

Yeah, trying to make political point out of it is a bit naff. What now, everybody starts wearing their latest cause plastered round their chops!?0

Another one. Seeing signposts in Edinburgh written in Gaelic despite it never being widely spoken there.0

My grandparents (and older aunts and uncles) spoke it as a first language but they were from the Outer Hebrides. I understand, but don't agree with, trying to promote a traditional language but I don't understand doing it in an area where that language was never spokenshortfall said:

Well that'll put another nail in the coffin of Scotland's tourism industry. Not to worry, there's always the oil money.........rjsterry said:Have you seen this loon.

That was funny. 'We have our own language' but he doesn't seem to be speaking it. Also standing in a part of Scotland that never spoke Gaelic (another reason why that sign behind him annoys me). What he's wearing could actually be quite sinister on a different person.rjsterry said:Have you seen this loon.
And don't get me started on the laws he doesn't understand...0 -
Oh, I don't know. I think it's a sight worth seeing. Did you spot his attempt to set light to a Union Flag? Or report war crimes in Berwick.shortfall said:
