I'm pretty sure it's Garuda. Not sure what country tho.

This divine creature is mentioned in the Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain faiths.

But there are three figures at the bottom. The other two are Trekkies and Furries maybe?

They're filming a version in space, but in one day in space is like a dozen years on Earth so it won't be done until 2187.

oooh.... someone mentioned this on 196, was that you? I did a couple web searches but couldn't figure it out... they might delete this post, u should think about where else to post it...

So there are currently three 196 communities:

• !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone
• !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
• !196@lemmy.world

If you're asking about why are people posting dancing cats to the first one, I think someone's just trying to make that a thing, if it's a real protest about something they haven't made it very clear.

I don’t think Lee could be expected to come up with an answer

Great point -- it was a difficult problem. The Germans in WW1 came up with assault tactics that involved infiltration tactics, storm troopers, mission command, and artillery "creeping barrages", but they had a rich organizational structure developed over decades to allow such experimentation. The Confederate Army was basically created just as their war began.

there’s an office in a building
and a person in a chair
and you paid for em both
though you may be unaware

you paid for the paper
you paid for the phone
you paid for everything they need
to deny u wut yer owed

there aint no u in united health
there aint no me in the company
there aint no us in the private trust
there’s hardly humans in humanity

no the procedure that yer needing
aint the cost effective route
and only two percent of people
end up winnin a dispute

so if u get sick
pray to god for help
cause yer doctor’s gotta pray thru
united health

waay back in 70 and 7
mr richard t burke

last yr
the warren buffet of health
the jeff bezos of fear

now ceo’s come and go
and one jus went
the ingredients ya got
bake the cake ya get

but if u get sick
cross yer fingers fer luck
cus ole richard t burke
aint givin a fuck

commoditized health
monopolized fraud
“here’s the doctors we own”
“here’s the research we bought”

they own the pharmacies
and alotta the meds
they should start buying graves
to sell us when we’re all dead

there aint no u in united health
there aint no me in the company
there aint no us in the private trust
there’s hardly humans in humanity
there’s hardly humans in humanity

That is beautiful. It looks like it could turn into a robot and start talking to us.

Hmmm... "A Passage to India" takes place during the Raj (which is when the Crown took over from the East India Company) but a lot of the attitudes and issues are the same

• the novel on Gutenberg: https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/61221

Similarly, "Conduct Unbecoming" takes place right after the Crown takeover. But hey, it's free on youtube:

It's like calling tech support and having them say "works for me! try reading up on the problem" and hanging up.

Mother Nature is a prankster. She was just having a little fun.
