I’m Gerry and I love mandering

I’m a massive fan of the books, and it took me a while to accept the abomination this show is. But once I accepted this is a completely different tv series with only a loose resemblance to the books, I started to actually enjoy it.

If they’d just called it something else I’d have been fine with it.

It’s not foundation but it’s also not that bad. It’s not that good either, but good tv is hard to come by

Book series bears little resemblance to the tv show

I’d guess unknown means whatever was used to record this information couldn’t determine the os (so it’s probably linux lol), whereas the other category is probably BSD and the like.

Just a guess though, I have no idea

Also from Ireland. I’ve surprised even well read Irish people by suggesting capitalism is to blame for the various famines of the 19th century in ireland including the great famine.

Usually get a ‘hmmm I’ve never thought of that’ despite the fact that some of these people have actually read about the causes of the famine, criticised the British insistence on ‘laissez faire’, but still didn’t somehow put two and two together and blame capitalism itself.

Would you consider the frequent man-made famines in ireland in the 19th century, including the very famous great famine, an example of ‘genocide’ or mass murder?
