Some that come to mind, and merely in order I thought of them:

• Danger Five
• Green Wing
• Blackadder
• Clone High
• Puella Magi Madoka Magica
• Cowboy Bebop
• Flight of the Conchords
• Inside No. 9
• The Wire
• Atlanta

Only finished shows considered, as a poor ending can ruin a show.

Yes.

Speaker + listener + maybe others

Speaker + not listener others

But that now seems small fry compared to the differentiating subject and object’s possessive adjectives.

This, and the lack of inclusive and exclusive 1st person plural, are the biggest oversights in English.

Overall bad, but it’s complicated.

Two bads do not make a right.

But morality is complex and can’t be reduced to equations. (I see you, Utilitarians and latter day Effective Altruists.)

You can find cases where the lesser of two evils is the right path, but that also doesn’t mean you’re more on the path to heaven. After all, you can be damned if you do as well as don’t.

Irregardless - (adj.) an attempted rebuke or rebuttal of a statement that ignores or overlooks already stated facts, which if included in the thought was have already rendered it moot.

Irregardless - (interj.) a response to declare someone’s statement irregardless.

I can only assume that it’s licence to draw hard lines on “spheres of influence” on a map and make Latin America into vassal states.

And removing the neo from neo-colonial in dealings with Lat-Am truly makes America great again.

Because peace of mind and your own view of self worth are priceless.

You can’t buy morals and being happy with yourself. What makes material gain or whatever ends you think would be better chased amorally worth losing that that you can not buy back?

Yet in the Platform it’s the people with more of a mission who get things done and move forwards.

Those content to exist within the system of begging the uppers for scraps and not caring about the lowers don’t get ahead, or indeed any of their wants in the end. They just enjoy hedonism for as long as they can before they meet their end.

A good cup of coffee.

Yes. The Second World War had a deathtoll about 60 times higher. (.3 is much more than I gave it credit for.)

Korean War probably more than 3 million.

Returning to smaller scale war is not an end of war. Nor even close to ending wars. Imperialism causes wider ranging wars is all, as whole networks of military apparatus are mobilised. Modern empires are more nebulous.

Edit: also, your WW2 figure is including civilians and acts of genocide. I think your Vietnamese figure is combatants only.

Yeah, I always think that more than a NSFW binary there should be three or maybe 4 options.

• Totally safe for work/public
• Suggestive
• Actively sexualised nudity
• Hardcore and/or very kinky
• Violence and gore

Maybe other folks would do it a bit differently, which is probably why we’re stuck on the binary.

Yes, the Korean war was the biggest with soldiers from dozens of countries dying in action, with a localised theatre.

But how many of those civil wars were hot parts of the Cold War? Can we not lump them into a single Cold War total?

The death toll of the world wars is huge, but equally the death tolls of the strife across Saharan and Central Africa and the Middle East isn’t insignificant. Do we just leave it off the record because the combatants are only our proxies? Fighting with our guns, for our benefit, rather than a war on land we’ve yet to relinquish control over?

Edit: though I’ve gone on a massive tangent. My original point that I let my mind forget and spout off on a tangent, was that there have been lots of wars with coalitions of allies feeding arms to the sides, as we now see in Ukraine in the intervening 70 years. Just less close to home.

That was more my point.

Exporting the death and suffering to far off parts of the world and calling it world peace. The only difference with Ukraine is it is closer to home, for most of the G7 anyhow.

Chinese Civil War pII?

Korean War?

Vietnam War?

6 Day War?

Somalian Civil War?

Nigerian Civil War?

Yemeni Civil War?
