No wokeness, thank goodness!


Imagine how this series would have turned out under the 'Woke' yoke?

A female oriental Mountain, disabled and socialist?

A city of Amazonian three-titted women only, with men as slaves, yawn.

Stupid word, ''woke'', anyway.

They were starting down that road already. The male characters were becoming stupid and ineffectual and the women were becoming the power-players. One more season and the Wokeness would have been in full force.

Actually, when the series went sharply downhill at the end, nobody made a sharper turn into being stupid and ineffectual than Danerys. Jon was always a dope, but Dany started out smart as hell, and spent her final battle burning a harmless residential neighborhood, while Cersei stood on her tower in plain view, right where a single dracarys would have stopped the war in a milisecond.

But then, everyone got stupid in season 8, starting with the showrunners and ending with the council that made Bran the new king.

No but don't you understand ? Daenerys was driven mad by the fascist male patriarchy ! She was Jesusina crucified by the male fascist oppressors to atone for their sins. Wokeness up the kazoo !

Betamax was a superior format compared to VHS.

"Betamax was a superior format compared to VHS."

No, it wasn't, though it's funny to see that Sony's marketing campaign that started in the late '70s is still alive and well in 2020.

VHS is actually superior. Trust me, I used both.

reply

"VHS is actually superior. Trust me, I used both."

Neither one was inherently superior with regard to picture and sound quality. They both use half-inch tape and have the same bandwidth. It comes down to the quality of individual machines, i.e., a high-end VHS machine will be better than a low-end Betamax machine, and vice versa. If comparing the best VHS machine ever made to the best Betamax machine ever made, there won't be any noticeable difference.

There were times when Betamax was temporarily superior to VHS, such as during the ~year that Betamax machines were available with Hi-Fi stereo and VHS machines weren't.

Outside of picture and sound quality, VHS was always superior in terms of recording time, because it used bigger cassettes which allowed for more tape. Plus VHS obviously had a far superior selection of pre-recorded tapes to buy or rent.

Since picture and sound quality ended up being a tie, the two big VHS advantages (longer recording time and bigger movie selection) made VHS the better choice by far.

why are you stuck in the stone age boomer people deserve a voice in entertainment

reply

Pathetic. Any opposing opinion, on a public forum, in a democracy, is called " stone age". Desperate type of fascism.

Delusional brainwashed millennials is what the modern, non-stone age generation are.
