  • When I was younger, the Star Wars prequel trilogy killed the franchise for me. Older me has grown more jaded and does not care as much anymore.

    The ‘Song of Ice and Fire’ series by GRRM was bad enough. If the series had ended after the Red Wedding, I would have been at peace. Instead, an entire can of new characters and storylines was opened. The series is unfinished and if any new books come out, they have lost my interest. Now that isn’t too bad, but the last seasons of the Game of Thrones series were so poorly written that it killed the books even further for me.

    I read that someone mentioned Highlander. For a movie with the tag line ‘There can be only one’, it sure has many sequels. The original is bad, but in a very fun way. I hold it dear to my heart. The sequels are really forgettable. OTOH, the spinoff television series was not too bad if I remember correctly after 30+ years.


  • I consider myself a picky eater, although my tastes have evolved over the years. There are certain types of food that I have never liked (but will eat). I do not like extremely bland food, like cooked potatoes or certain cooked vegetables. What I also dislike is food that tastes processed, like store bought pasta sauce. I do try almost every food.

    Your colleague just sounds narrow-minded. Their loss.








  • Hated by who?

    As a person, he is absolutely vile and disgusting. For one thing, he raped children and recently killed ~160 school girls. He combines the crookedness of Nixon, the dementia of Reagan, the genius of W and the child molesting of Clinton into one person.

    From the perspective of a citizen of a EU country that has blindly followed the US for several decades, I’d like to add one more thing. He is the first president who put a dent in the alliance between the US and Europe and who is really not our friend. He threatened Denmark and Greenland, puts random tariffs on EU products out of spite and worst of all, he appears to be a tool of Vladimir Putin, who has invaded a EU member.

    I do not think that ‘hate’ covers what I feel about this absolute piece of human garbage, but he is definitely one of the worst persons currently alive.
