@johnroderick A little behind on @friendlyfireRSS and just listened to Gladiator; regarding counter-factual histories of WWII like Inglorious Basterds, I was left wondering if you’ve seen this and if it inspired the same feelings? https://t.co/sSUX2MOCFc
@hokag3bebop @VickerySec @Password1337@mattprescott Exactly right; it’s far more effective to take advantage of the Byzantine aspects of the tax code - whether fully corrupt aspects, or simply leveraging unintended consequences - than to risk falsifying.
@wooster@macrael True! And I’m not trying to weigh in on its technical merits, or even on its aesthetic choices. The market position it needs to occupy to balance its necessary cost, weighed against expected utility is kinda crazy to consider… unless many externalities will cease to be.
@wooster@macrael Right. What it might be trying to capture that way is the group that wants to signal that, despite caring about the environment, they’re still part of middle America.
The weirdest part is that I can’t confidently say it won’t, despite all mismatches.
I love all of your answers more than mine.
But I was describing Walt Disney’s Fantasia (1941).
I’ve also used something similar to describe Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and all its derivatives. Development of those also had to involve lots of psychedelics.
