Nature vs. Nurture is always a bit of column A and a bit of column B.

But you haven’t provided enough information.

What’s the government like other than being authoritarian? It’s possible to have a benevolent authoritarian government. Does it successfully provide food, shelter, and entertainment for the people? Imperial Rome was authoritarian but life for a Roman citizen was probably better than life for some of the ‘barbarians’ at the gates.

How does the government react to challenges to its authority? Fair and proportionally or brutally?

How do those around me, as I grow up, react to the government. Is it mostly fear and anger or contentment and acceptance?

They messed with Twin Peaks as well, insisting that Laura’s murder be solved earlier than Lynch was planning, and then of course cancelling the show leaving Lynch trying to reach some kind of conclusion.

That first series though was sublime and perfect.

Pfft. ITT kids.

Twin Peaks.

Failing Twin Peaks, then Sapphire and Steel.

Gladiator is good but give a listen to Mars from the Planet Suite by Holst.

Oh, man, if we could find someone on lemmy with the time, energy, and mad skills to do the same kind of race recaps that u/Alphamaxnova1 used to do I would be so happy.

I mean, if money's no object I'm sure some travel agent could put together a package deal to go to every race. That way you could experience the glitz of Monaco but also get to see some decent races.

You think they'd listen to a random brown dude who couldn't speak English?

Wankhammer

I think you know why.

Same as I think of actors who don't write their own films or plays.

And to labor the point, also cooks who don't create their own recipes. Or football players who don't invent the rules of the game. Or fighter pilots who don't build their own jets. Or doctors who rely on "book learnin'" instead of figuring out how the human body works themselves.

I’m allowed to walk across the street without being arrested for ‘jay walking’.

 

When will news media stop falling for this shit?

Oh, yes, when it stops generating clicks. I am part of the problem.
