Let the man earn his paycheck
It didn’t make the Top Ten grossing movies the year it came out [2006]
If 25% of the population knows it that means 75% doesn’t.
Most people in America have no idea who Guy Fawkes was.
I recently learned of a British version of Dirk, circa 2010. I’d seen the Elijah Wood version, and this is a nice addition.
It’s true that Doyle never mentioned it, but it’s logical that Holmes would want a place he could duck into for a quick meal; or a nap; or to put on a new disguise. Watson does say that Holmes had bolt holes around London, so it would have been foolish for him not to have a membership.
I remember reading about his membership in a non canon work.
If you’re a fan look up ‘The 7% Solution.’ It’s available as a novel and a movie; Holmes meets the only doctor capable of curing his cocaine addiction, Sigmund Freud.
Holmes was a mess.
He was unpopular at school; hung out with the lower classes; used cocaine; once shot the letters ‘V R’ into his living room wall; was a member of a club where no member was supposed to speak to another; only survived as long as he did because his brother was a major government official.
Agreed.
I see people posting questions about life in the 1970s and wonder, “Don’t you know any one who was around then?”
So, Trump gets a pass on what happened to the Kurds?
Or, people could look at the situation as it is.
Trump and his MAGoos are going to do everything they can to take as many rights away from people as they can.
In the real world of 2024, the only option is Joe Biden.
There’s no magical super candidate that’s going to pop up between now and November.
With the latest Supreme Court decision, re-elected President Trump could deputize 5 million of his followers on Inauguration Day.
You don’t have to love Joe Biden, or even like him. Just realize that Trump is for full on fascist takeover of the US and Biden isn’t.
Keep at it. You learn by doing something; making a mistake; then doing it again a little better.
The only way to change the conditions of the test is to get out and support Left-leaning Dems in primaries.
And no, not all choices are valid. Voting doesn’t just affect the voter, it affects the whole country.
The one I mentioned is a 2010 series from the BBC I just saw on BritBox streaming service.
I saw that one after I saw the 2016 version with Elijah Wood.
So the older version was ‘new’ to me.
Sorry for any confusion.
I’m going to assume that you’re being sarcastic.
For those who think this is an option, remember that the MAGoos vote in every election.
You’re ignoring the fact that people have been opting out of voting for decades.
People in 1968 couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Humphrey, and we got Nixon.
They couldn’t bear Jimmy Carter, and we got Reagan.
“Both sides are the same” is the Right’s best pal.
The latest version of Dirk Gently has an episode where the Pentagon is desperately searching for the most powerful computer program on Earth.
You type in your conclusion, say “I want to invade Switzerland” and the program will search the entire interwebs to come up with a logical, fact based analysis that explains why it’s a reasonable thing to do.
So, explain how not voting assures us that we don’t get Trump again.
The Right hated Rock and Roll back in the 1950s because you had white kids listening to dangerous ‘race music.’
