McDonald’s would be a hell of a lot cooler if they were funding Satan worshippers. Can they bring that rumor back and confirm it this time please?

Oh yeah I won’t pretend he didn’t move crowds to coalesce around the Nazi philosophy, he was obviously popular enough to pack stadiums.
Hitler and Goebbels, hell the whole Nazi party, we’re really good at the propaganda game. I’d say they really were one of the early pioneers of the use of mass media to steer people into alternate reality. Much like how we see social media being taken advantage of today.

He wasn’t that eloquent honestly. Just … Boisterous, loud and probably about on par with Trump when it comes to just packing stadiums and getting people riled up over social problems. Problems that were complex but he had simple answers to.
I’m really tired of all this “Hitler was a genius” bullshit, not only did he make terrible military decisions but he ran a government that was in disarray all the time. Constant turmoil followed him and many changes in personnel in important offices oftentimes just seemingly at a whim.
Not saying you’re making that argument and honestly I get what you’re saying but my God I have met too many people IRL and online that would suck Hitler’s dick in an instant. You’re right though, this timeline is dumb as fuck.

Yeah we get it you’re awesome and whatever. Maybe if your coworkers were compensated for their efforts instead of taken advantage of they’d feel different about putting more work in.
Hell that last complaint you listed from your coworkers is literally the same thing you’re complaining about.
You’re still part of the proletariat, stop shilling for the bourgeoisie.

Cool, you’re shitting on people getting more vacation time and better pay for … What reason again? Because you got married and had a kid?
Use logic to make that make sense to me. Also I’ll hit you with some logic right here, your own in fact.
You know what work reform I’d love to see? One where pay is based on production.
Sweet, worker productivity has soared while ages stagnated. Paying people the same amount of money to do 32 hours of work vs 40 is a step making pay more aligned with production. Exactly what you want!

Sitting at home on my toilet married with a child. So I feel equally qualified to say this as you.
Fuck capitalism and that exploitation. What, you used to have empathy and care and now you’re a selfish asshole? How is that good, it’s definitely not funny, it’s just sad.

Wow that’s absolutely fucked. But at least you had some nice years. Sorry to hear that about the stock.

That’s really cool, you have your own little army of familiars following you around. Sounds like you need to be careful with the possible feeding bans. Hopefully you don’t catch any trouble.
All I’ve heard about magpies is they’re assholes though!

I can’t tell if you do or don’t know about Unidan on Reddit. Bravo.

This is like the difference between normal and right. Like I know a ton of people normally search for answers by putting full questions in. With the advent of LLMs and AI being thrown into everything asking full questions starts to make more sense.
For actual good results using a search engine, for sure what you said is better.

I know that’s why I thought it was funny! Got to find the humor in this mess right now. Hoping we can right the ship but right now Trump is steering us into an ice berg full speed ahead

Regular people are dumb af they elected that orange shit stain while he spit in our faces.
So I’m not really confident they’re gonna connect any dots.

Funny you think they’re going to actually pay down the debt.
- Comment on Do spiders poop ? 2 months ago:
That article is really fuzzing up the definition of “poop,” I’d argue over half those entries are just how the thing poops weirdly. I guess if you get into semantics it may be technically true but I just consider pooping to be eliminating bodily waste so to me that whole article is like, “look how oddly these things poop.” 😅

Just because they live in a clown world doesn’t mean we do.
Honestly at this point I don’t know if any Trump voters are intelligent enough to understand how wrong they are and how they’ve enabled really shitty people to do horrible things.
Like, genuinely, is it worth even trying to be nice or have a conversation in good faith when it’s basically impossible to do that even if you try. These folks are so far divorced from reality you can’t have a good faith convo because they don’t respect truth and won’t engage in good faith themselves.
You can’t really force these idiots to understand how wrong this shit is when they seemingly can’t even comprehend it. Like they’re just genuinely that fucking dumb.

It does seem like the pie chart is a little off from that but not by a ton, probably close enough for Internet stranger shenanigans

I want to know the source for that and if it’s actually accurate. It does feel right though.

Man I had a hard time understanding his vocals but that might have just been the sound mixing on the broadcast. Heard that it was clearer on YouTube or other places to watch just the performance by itself. Probably easier to make out in the stands, no idea though.
If I listened real hard I caught some of it but that’s probably also because my ears are not tuned well for a lot of hip hop just in general I have a hard time picking up lyrics for a lot of rap artists.
Still, you’re spot on with the racism perspective - honestly it’s just people whining it’s not “their” kind of music. Ok, well, taste is subjective and I thought it was a banging show even if I didn’t clearly hear everything he said. Conservatives just want to be racist but pretend they’re not racist. When I hear someone say, “I’m not racist,” 95% of the time it’s because they’re racist and said or did some racist shit.

Wonder where that is, the OP of the content from 2022 on his twitter profile says he’s from San Francisco area. Would be cool to find out what the place is.

Thank you for the lengthy write up. You see though the problem with watching it all is I’d be watching it all… I do appreciate the time it must have taken for this reply though.
That clip on YouTube you linked was super cringe. Agree with you on TNG there’s definitely times and episodes where I think the writers phoned it in and I’m not going to pretend it’s all good. Still my favorite star trek but I don’t watch much so that’s not saying anything considering I haven’t even seen any of the new stuff.
- Comment on I liked Star Trek before it got woke. /s 3 months ago:
Not very far lol, a couple episodes to give it a fair shake though, do you have an episode recommendation?
- Comment on I liked Star Trek before it got woke. /s 3 months ago:
I really tried to like that show but it’s just … Bad. To each their own but I’d rather just rewatch TNG or whatever other Star Trek. That show feels like it doesn’t have an identity, the writers couldn’t decide what kind of show they were writing and the acting is subpar.
Of course, if you enjoy it that’s all that really matters - keep on watching and having fun!
- Comment on ADL defends Nazi salute 3 months ago:
This is the essence of doublespeak: contradictions in the smallest possible footprint, laid out glaringly and consumed with eager approval.
That’s what you’re doing literally right now. Dude makes a clear Nazi salute and you’re like “naaah surely the ADL can’t be wrong” like no fuck the ADL and their lies.

Japanese and other character languages (idk the linguistic term off hand) tend to encapsulate phrases or meanings to characters. So it isn’t the same as say translating from French to English. It is a lot more challenging plus context can change the meaning of characters too.

What is an emergency if not an extraordinary time? (I get what you’re saying too, just think it’s interesting as far as translation goes)

I will vouch that even without the Phantom Liberty expansion Cyberpunk 2077 is fantastic. Phantom Liberty is awesome though, the story is intriguing and the new area is really well done. Everytime I visit Dogtown in that game I’m always like “damn this place is a fucking trash warzone,” the devs really nailed the vibes.
Anyways absolutely amazing game, and it’s half off it probably won’t go below half off for another year I’m guessing. Like you, I got into it after some major updates so I didn’t experience all the crap at release - to me the game is a masterpiece.
