Friends are something that an average person needs. Humans are just made that way. But I think it's not correct to think that friends can fix everything, as well as that friends will stay in your life forever. Throughout life you will meet dozens of people and make many friends. But only one or two out of hundreds will be something you may call a "real friend". That's if you are lucky enough to meed someone with similar mindset and values that you have. People you call 'friends' will walk out of your life for different reasons (they may be insignificant or important) and will stay with you for different amounts of time. That's why I think that it's better if you put yourself/your life/feelings first most of the times when it comes to your friends. You can stay in a really good relationship with them even if you don't always put them first or give all of yourself into these relationships. Because each one of us have their own lifes to take care of. Those people who will want to stay with you and will understand you/love you - will stay. And those who don't - won't. Whatever you do for them. It depends on the mindset of the other party. Loving, helping, caring for your friends is great, but if you put them above other important things like yourself, then they will get used to it. And most people won't do the same for you or will try to use your love for their own emotional self-satisfaction. That's just how it is. So I think you just need to do everything in moderation and state values right in life.
Should Sting be forced to make a public apology for glamorizing knives in Dune?
-
Statistics show that every forty minutes, ten people are stabbed on the Streets of London.
Should Sting be forced to make a public apology for glamorizing knives in Dune? Perhaps with Stormzy or Reggie Yates adjudicating?
-
@Indrid-Cold That's a slippery slope, my friend. If Sting has to apologize for glamorizing knives, what's next? Forcing Miley Cyrus to apologize for turning sledge hammers into sex objects??
-
@Lazz I think MC should be COMMENDED for turning sledge hammers into sex objects (especially since Peter Gabriel made such a bad job of it back in the day).
-
@Indrid-Cold Peter Gabriel then should be forced to apologize for THAT
-
@Lazz He's got a recording studio about five miles away from my house. I'll put my face at the window and demand an apology.
-
@Indrid-Cold Outstanding! Now there's some real life Shock The Monkey!
-
@Lazz Wow. I just watched the video. Nuts. That's like Twin Peaks. I'm there, dude.
-
@Indrid-Cold If you can, try and take some pics, ok?
-
@Lazz David Lynch's Dune --> Miley Cirus --> Peter Gabriel --> Twin Peaks. It always comes back to David Lynch, doesn't it? That guy owns us.
-
@Indrid-Cold Absolutely. He's everywhere.
I had a date just over a week ago. Where did we decide to go? An exhibition of Lynch's art currently showing in Manchester.
I've been watching S3 of Legion round at my Dad's recently (I don't have "normal" telly at home). My Dad comes in on Saturday night, sits and watches a bit with me. He tries to follow what's going on for a while, then says "It's very David Lynch isn't it?"...
-
@Indrid-Cold Also, no Sting should not - but I strongly suspect you already know this 😉
-
@Matt_Aranha Yeah. Lynch is a very cool artist. Famously, his reason for making films and TV was simply because he had a hallucination of a painting coming to life. Personally, though, I just like the stupid stuff like 'The Angriest Dog in the World'.
Is Legion any good? I hear it's not your average Marvel show.
-
@Indrid-Cold To be frank, Deadpool aside I have in some way disliked most things Fox have done with the Marvel characters they had rights to. Their other series are drab and their version of the X-Men universe can't decide what it wants to be, regularly throwing continuity out without the slightest care.
That said Legion is fucking amazing. I expected it to be typical Fox drivel and it turned out to be like no other superhero series I have ever come across before. My Dad wasn't wrong, it does get quite Lynchian at times, and that is no bad thing. It is extremely brave, and it works (though clearly would not be for everybody) - I would go so far as to say it is the finest series of its genre I have ever seen.
-
@Matt_Aranha Hmm. My local CEX has Season 1 on baby-blu. I think it's going to be on my shelf by the end of tomorrow.
I'd suggest it to my dad, but he only watches westerns made before 1959.
-
@Indrid-Cold Legion, all three seasons, was fantastic!
-
@Lazz @Matt_Aranha Geez, I really am L8 for the party...
-
no more apologies for historic events please. there is a reason why old crimes cannot be punished anymore: because people are not the same people anymore... honestly stop that shit, before we have destroyed every statue, thrown every politician out of his position, kicked every CEO that has ever said something stupid... and stop killing art and commedy for political correctness. thank you.
