Thanks, I like it! I’m familiar with post rock, but what defines post metal? It’s a sub-genre I’ve never really listened to.

Check out some of his older tracks. There’s some really good stuff and some very experimental, avant-garde songs too.

Thanks, I might just binge it once all the episodes have aired.

To be honest I’ve only seen the first two episodes and they didn’t really grab me.

I enjoyed the books a lot when I read them, but never felt like it would adapt well to TV since so much exposition happens in the main character’s head.

Does it get better in later episodes?

I assume most nations of the world taking part is correct. According to Wikipedia WW2 is considered to have started after the invasion of Poland and subsequently UK and France declaring war on Germany, however there were other events beforehand:

The causes of World War II included unresolved tensions in the aftermath of World War I and the rise of fascism in Europe and militarism in Japan. Key events preceding the war included Japan’s invasion of Manchuria in 1931, the Spanish Civil War, the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937, and Germany’s annexations of Austria and the Sudetenland. World War II is generally considered to have begun on 1 September 1939, when Nazi Germany, under Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland, after which the United Kingdom and France declared war on Germany.

Considering how much the world has changed since then with advances in technology etc., I think WW3 will look very different if it happens.

The sad thing about all of this is that the Iranian citizens will suffer the most. Iran is one of the oldest settled countries in the world and has a very long history.

Don’t get me wrong, the Islamic regime is definitely not a good guy in all of this either. In fact, I don’t believe theocratic governments or even state religions should be a thing at all.

Good chat mate. Really compelling argument.

Just speculating really. Mind enlightening me what the clear line will be?

You’re probably right

You could argue it started when Russia invaded Ukraine. But I wouldn’t mind Trump being forever remembered in history as the instigator.

Anyone else get the feeling WW3 has already started but we just haven’t realised it yet?

That’s why I always leave things for the day after tomorrow.

Yeah… China’s been busy expanding their Belt and Road initiative across the developing world for the last decade. Meanwhile the US has spent the time fighting each other every election cycle.

Awesome, hope you have a great time!

Their recentish stuff gives me powermetal crossed with metalcore vibes, both which I enjoy. Their last album “Darker Still” from 2022 is really good, give it a listen if you get the chance.

Ah sorry! Sometimes hard to tell on here. I haven’t watched it in a long time, probably due for a rewatch.

It was! If you like UK shows, it was used as the theme tune for Peep Show.

I might actually gain a tiny, minuscule bit of respect for him if he officially changes his name to Rocket Hitler

Unsurprisingly, Musk has disparaged Tesla Takedown as something astroturfed by wealthy liberals (and conflated the peaceful movement with attacks in which suspected arsonists threw Molotov cocktails at dealerships). On Saturday, he claimed without evidence on X that an “investigation” of some kind had revealed that wealthy philanthropists including George Soros, Reid Hoffman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix were funding the groups behind Tesla protests through the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue. Aside from misrepresenting how ActBlue works — it doesn’t fund anything but is rather a system through which donors can send money to Democratic political candidates and liberal organizations

“It couldn’t possibly be the consequences of my actions, it’s wealthy liberals conspiring against me!”

He deserves it and so much more.
