Noticed a lot people talking about Tolkien’s works and philosophy. So, I created a thread specifically dedicated for that and other things related to it, like the movies and games.

Does the winter only affect Westeros? Like no one else really seems that concerned about it. With their stupid culture it seems like all it would take is a sufficiently long cold snap to wipe out the dothraki.

Yeah it seems to be exclusive to Westeros, but part of that may be that a lot of the continent is just in a more northern latitude.

This is canon.

what do you guys think of H.P lovecraft ?

>>40026
His sleep was not a respite but a relentless deluge of night terrors. He found himself trapped beneath a cerulean surface, his lungs crying out for air as he strained against the crushing weight of the water. He fought against the suffocating current, only to find himself unable to escape, his screams dissolving into desperate bubbles that rose towards the sunlit surface, a distant reminder of a world he was being dragged away from.

Shaken awake by the terror of drowning, he sat up, gasping for breath, the very real sensation of water evaporating from his lungs. Sweat-soaked sheets clung to his trembling form, the scent of fear permeating the otherwise fragrant room. His eyes darted across the room, the familiar shadows playing tricks on his haunted mind.

His torment was ceaseless, sleep giving no quarter. These nightmare visions were punctuated with the chilling symphony of gunfire and the crescendo of strangled screams.

As he thrashed in his opulent bed, ensconced within the high-rise apartment of New Gaslight, his unconscious mind waged war against spectral foes. He embodied ruthlessness, his heart morphed into a cold, calculating sentinel, indifferent to the innocents swept away in the tide of his battle or the devastation that followed in his wake. His survival was the solitary beacon guiding his actions.

He rolled onto his side, a bead of sweat slipping from his brow, staining the plush pillow beneath him. Another jolt of fear sent him tumbling into the valley of dreams once more.

The dreamscape shifted, the city's menacing skyline replaced by the expansive openness of prairies. Stalks of wheat swayed ominously, brushing against the fabric of his subconscious, whispering secrets he had locked away. As abruptly as it had begun, his peaceful prairie morphed into another horrifying tableau. The tranquility of the field soon transformed into a snare, the open sky closing in, the ground beneath him swallowing him whole.

Now, he was encased within a claustrophobic wooden box, the damp earth seeping in through the cracks. The taste of the grave filled his mouth, the oppressive weight of his premature burial pressing down on him. His heart pounded a frantic rhythm against his ribcage, the muffled thump echoing within his earthen prison.

>Read Rats in the Walls for the funny cat name meme
>It's easily one of Lovecraft's best stories
Why did he have to do it? Couldn't he have thought of any other name for the cat?

>>43072
because it was his cat name and cat was black
also it's an accrual name:

he had an impressive vocabulary, sort of the anti hemingway in that he purposely wrote in a pedantic and anachronistic manner.

File: 1712942018043.jpg (738.42 KB, 1944x2880, fallout.jpg)

 

so i finished watching the entire series and something made me feel uneasy. starting with episode 6 and going into episode 7 the show takes a very political turn. a turn against capitalism and an actual, intended or not, positive portray of communism. almost directly actually. at least, it takes the blame completely away from communism, portray some of the communist in the show as actually good people fighting against the evils of capitalism. at least those to be heavily hinted at as being communist. which made me very delighted but then it dawned to me, this is a amazon prime production based off a video game from bethesda who is now owned by microsoft. three massive, very capitalist, corporations that have shown time again to be very for profit.

but even if we remove the debate whether or not communist being portrayed as good did happen in the show, the show itself was extremely critical of capitalism and that makes me wonder why these billion dollar corporations that are the epitome of why capitalism is bad, be telling its viewers, the very nature of amazon, bethesda, and microsft, everything they stand for, the people who made the show and games, are bad? why would they want their consumers to hate the very thing that allows these elites, these companies, to exist in the first place?

is it some sort of chess move i don't understand? have we reached a state where capitalism could very well nuke the planet and people won't care so these companies don't care if criticism about them is made? or more wishful thinking, they think this will spare them from the revolution? i don't understand their move here. i don't expect capitalist companies to allow people to hate them.

>Repressive desublimation is a term, first coined by Frankfurt School philosopher and sociologist Herbert Marcuse in his 1964 work One-Dimensional Man, that refers to the way in which, in advanced industrial society, "the progress of technological rationality is liquidating the oppositional and transcending elements in the "higher culture." In other words, where art was previously a way to represent "that which is" from "that which is not," capitalist society causes the "flattening out" of art into a commodity incorporated into society itself

It's that time again. Post trams and trains and other rail vehicles. Both vehicles from AES and c*pitalist countries welcome.I am looking for this one very aesthetic picture of a tram going down a grassy incline. I think it was from Czechoslovakia but not sure.

Why do Autisms love trains so much?

Because:
>They run on a set path at set times with a predictable time of leaving and arriving, which makes scheduling easier than if you had to travel by car since you can just pick the time that suits you the best.
>They don't have to compete with other forms of traffic because they're the only thing in the lane.
>They are comfortable to travel in
>They are more efficient than any other form of land-based mass transportation in terms of speed and how much they can carry.
>You don't have to stress about driving them yourself, even the actual drivers really only have to sit on their asses, occasionally accelerating and decelerating because the train goes on a set path.
>They can take you anywhere where there's a track; the tracks only have to be laid once and need much less replacement/maintenance than roads.
>They are less maintenance-intensive in terms of spare parts.
>They're much more clean in terms of their proportional environmental impact than a fleet of cars or buses.
>They don't need to be separately recharged or refueled because you can just hook them up to a source of electricity directly, which means they are more logistically sound on top of being energy efficient.
>They just look cool af.

How the fuck could you watch Come and See and not realize it's communist

>>42707
Arguably the Navi have primitive communism… kinda?

>>42713
They have a chief, and anprim isn't really communism. The movies just don't really posit an alternative to Earth's extractivist hypercapitalism, just that it's bad and needs to be fought. That's still a good message but it's not communist in itself.

>>42716
Having an elected chief isn't inherently out of step with communism

It's a very obvious metaphor for the beginnings of class consciousness in the West in the 19th Century.
The Favourite is similarly Marxist because of that final shot where the pet rabbits (us) multiply and overtake the screen.

Does anyone else have this hobby? I've been doing it for years and especially love the older versions of places.
It feels incredible to be able to look at a frozen version of the world and go over every detail of it.
As much as I hate Google and this constant surveillance I still find a lot of joy and nostalgia looking in how everything used to be.

Why is it like this compared to google maps? Will it ever get better?

oh hell yes, i've always done this. I especially like the historical view as well. On google earth they actually have "satellite" imagery going back to the thirties. i.e. plane flyovers.

Spiders usually only eat their mates if they're already malnourished. There are some that will actually bring females captured prey as a distraction wedding gift before mating with them.

So just learn to cook and keep your spider wife fat and happy and there's no problem.

This is quite possibly the most historical materialist science fiction novel, and in a class of it's own in scope.

Not really, it falls prey to a lot of biological and cultural determinist brainworms. Ideologically it's pretty firmly entrenched in 1920s-1930s progressivism (though arguably with a skeptical eye). Still a brilliant and unique novel
