There is anti-americanism (which I’ll gladly join in on) and then there’s making asshole memes.

Dunno about personal armor but we have nekkid furry ladies on planes and tanks… humans keep being thirsty.

You mean aborted barley fetuses?

Oh absolutely, he’s been drawing Chloe or versions of her for years and years, and now he’s making some money off of it.

The poem of course referring to the real Ozymandias, who is Ramses the Second with Ozymandias being a greek conversion of the egyptian name User-Maat-Re (or Re-User-Maat, of which the english translation is Rameses or Ramses)

Woah there, somebody want’s to piss off the entire australian continent.

I like that, will adopt this.

Just reading this makes me SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW!!!

The reasons just don’t necessarily come with any moral take away attached.

Children get bone cancer for purely physical reasons, yes, but there is no plan behind it, nothing that makes the situation better in any way and this is how the phrase is usually being used. It’s people saying: “Don’t be sad, something good will come of it.” to the faces of grieving parents or deathly ill people who have nothing to look forward to but pain.

Religious/spiritual proselytising has completely alienated the phrase from the methodological naturalism it could express.

The basic law of Cologne:

§1: Et es wie et es. („It is how it is.“) Look the facts in the eye, you can’t change them.

$2: Et kütt wie et kütt. („It’ll come as it comes.“) Accept the inevitable, you can’t change fate.

§3: Et hätt noch emmer joot jejange. („Everything turned out fine in the past.“) What turned out okay yesterday, will still work tomorrow. Situationally: We know it’s shit, but it’s the best we can do with what we have.

§4: Wat fott es, es fott. („What’s gone is gone.“) Don’t cling to the past.

§5: Et bliev nix wie et wor. („Nothing ever stays the same.“) Be open to new developments.

“Boys will be boys” Oh yes, what deep insight, nicely expresses the lack of parenting that let little Billy here become a FUCKING BULLY that regularly kicks, punches and intimidates other children. Even worse when adults agree that “shitty and violent” is just how boys are, you know boys will be boys.

Well done being a role model guys, not only does that excuse the bully, it openly communicates to the victim that 1) he’s allowed to be like that, 2) they should be bullies too and 3) nobody has any intention of actually helping them and changing the situation.

And then you make them shake hands afterwards and both have to apologize, the bully and his victim.

GRRRRRRRRR makes me so angry! Complete abdication of your responsibility to actually parent your little monster.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

No, really, the books are quite broadly known among the very narrow group of hard sci-fi fans.

Completely off-topic:

Did not anticipate how hard “We’re going on an adventure” would hit me with feelings of horror after reading “Children of Ruin”. Good work Tchaikovsky. Holy shit that mix of possession and zombie-horror with perfectly natural explanations in a hard scifi scenario really did a job on me, even years after finishing the book.

Man, that’s some good memories.

Yazinda, Durin, Arva von Harben, Tjalf, Melina and Caldrin, I miss you guys.

Aaaaaaand that’s the chorus and melody of “Smokin’ Joe Rudeboy” stuck in my head again.

Sigh
