Det er alligevel lidt mærkeligt at hele verden nu priser Anders Thomas Jensens film. Før i tiden var det sådan nogle hemmelige kultklassikere, som vi praktisk taget havde helt for os selv i Danmark, og hvis en udlænding kom til at se en var de som regel fuldkommen forvirrede over humoren.

But you have to remember: "both sides!".

That is not true at all. The problem is that the archaic US political system is geared towards benefiting old white men.

It has that in every photo of him. Leathery and ill-fitting.

I am afraid your DNA got into the hands of a grifter scam business. DNA can absolutely not say anything about whether you play a musical instrument.

Also for political assassinations. Sniping is so oldfashioned, when you can hit your targets while being nowhere near the area where it happens.

Not downvoting, but I am not fond of links to fascist twitter either. It is a bit ironic that the person calling Germans out for being fascist are doing it on the fascist platform.

Alexandre Dumas did the same, at least in his memoirs. The manuscript for his complete memoirs would be something like 30+ volumes long, and he only got to writing about his life as a relatively young adult before he actually began writing succesful novels, and it is mostly because they are full of essays on all kinds of topics. Edited versions of his memoirs are published with most of the essays removed, and the longest is 6 volumes, while most are 1 or 2 volumes.

Not necessarily, it was just the way most goods were shipped and stored back then. I read the memoirs of a guy who grew up around the mid 19th century, and his posh city family bought a barrel of butter from the countryside, because that was supposedly the best one. They stored it in the cellar and the barrel lasted a year, so that bottom of the barrel butter unsurprisingly became vile.

That is true for a lot of companies, but not for Lego.

many locales simply did not have formal policing forces, which was still a cutting-edge innovation from Britain

A formal police force is not a British invention. It existed in other European countries (especially France) hundreds of years before the British. Peele's Principles doesn't really have anything to do with that.

I guess they finally managed to condition people into supporting their hypocritical censorship.
