That Walter Mitty scene made me laugh. It was filmed in Seyðisfjörður, which is around 700 km away from Eyjafjallajökull. They had even changed the map shown in the movie, so it was unrecognizable for an Icelander! 😂

I had no idea. That’s hilarious.

This is the third eruption that’s occured on the peninsula in three years and it’s largely died down so I wouldn’t call it “exciting”

It’s pretty though.

Volcanic eruptions are always exciting.

For ages = for one week in the Central Europe. I had a trip booked for roughly exactly the duration of the eruption back then.

It was shut down entirely for a week initially, and then would be shut down again periodically as the ash/debris cloud floated along through air lanes.

Also that totally sucks.

This is so exciting. The last time there was a major volcanic eruption in Europe, it shut down air travel for ages over there. Plus there was a cool and totally improbable scene in Walter Mitty about it.

Is that antisemitic? That’s like saying Asians are smart or black guys have big dicks is racist. I mean sure but like “good racism”.

There is no such thing as “good racism.”

There was and still is a shit ton of racism on Reddit, among other -ism hate.

People like to hate on groups they deem “other” or less than. r/Freespeech is stuffed to the gills with transphobia and homophobia, for example. Anyone else remember r/FatPeopleHate? r/The_Donald hasn’t been gone that long. etc etc etc.

I don’t think dark humor isn’t the same as “Reddit 2.0”

But in general, yeah, I’m with you.

This is so true for me. I’m trying to master it, but it’s a bitch of a road.
