An American security contractor and a Chinese embassy employee are at a bar. The American says, “I gotta say, your propaganda is impressive. You sure know how to keep your people in line.”
“Oh, you’re too gracious,” the embassy worker says. “And besides, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda.”
The contractor chokes on his drink and gives his friend a bewildered look.
“What are you talking about? There’s no propaganda in America.”

Ah you are totally right and thank you for the correction, I got taught at a young age by a very nice but very overworked public school music teacher that there were just eight notes and not to worry about anything more complicated than that and my brain always really wants to default back to that

I don’t know for sure, but the Jaws theme is definitely a half-step interval, so the spacing of the keys in the meme is right at least
Random trivia I learned from a music theory YouTuber, the bass line to Rage Against the Machine’s Killing in the Name kind of does the same thing, except instead of going back and forth a single half step it does nine (aka, an eight note octave plus one note)

I’m going to echo everyone else recommending this podcast, it’s absolutely incredible non-fiction story telling and it will really deepen your understanding of how we all got to this point in history.
To answer your question, I actually think season 8 (all about the French Commune in 1871 and how external pressures can end up causing liberals and socialists to go to war with each other) is the best one for explaining it, but it will be really confusing if you don’t listen to season 7 first (which is all about 1848, when France revolted against a liberal monarchy and most of western Europe went “hey, we should do that too, but differently”), which will be really confusing if you don’t listen to season 6 first (all about France 1830, when the people who would be overthrown in 1848 came to power) and all its supplemental episodes (all about different western European leaders who would see rebellions in 1848).
Season 3 (all about the French revolution everyone knows about in the 1790s) will help understand a few things going on in 6 and 7, and is also worth listening to just to understand why and how liberalism got going, but I don’t think it’s strictly necessary to get seasons 6-8, and 3 is ridiculously long season because the French revolution is just an insane series of back and forth plot twists that doesn’t let up.
That all said, if you’re prepared for something ridiculously long, the final season (all about the Russian revolutions, 1905 and 1917) is an incredibly informative and interesting listen too, and kind of completes the series (this is extremely reductive, but season 1-3 are sort of the “liberalism was a big improvement over what came before it” seasons, 6-8 are sort of the “but liberalism had its problems, which socialism tried to answer” seasons, and 10 is the “but socialism has its problems too” season).
Lastly, it doesn’t really touch on the liberalism vs socialism thing, but season 4 (a history of the Haitian revolution that highlights how incredibly destructive racism and colonialism are) is probably the one season I would make everyone in the world listen to if I could.
- Comment on Tankies hate this one simple trick 8 months ago:
I honestly kind of wonder if these Biden super fans are a reverse psychology operation. Like, I log on to Lemmy thinking “Eh, Biden’s not great but I do have to vote for him,” read a bunch of dumbass posts like this one and walk away thinking “I want nothing more in this world than to see neoliberal moderates crash and burn in the most humiliating fashion imaginable.”

Credible Defense was a page where people could talk about the militaries of different countries, noncredible was the circle jerk/shitpost/meme page offshoot they made for it, which ended up becoming a bigger deal than the original page.
But yeah, you’re missing out on some great Ukrainian memes, but also a lot of unironic stanning for weapons manufacturers and intelligence agencies, so it’s a real mixed bag. Like, they’re super pro-queer but I kinda think that’s only because Putin is a homophobic transphobic piece of shit and if the situation were reversed I’m not sure how they’d be.

This is certainly a phenomenon that is exclusive to Lemmy. No other social media networks have this issue.

Yeah, it would have been a completely horrifying and infuriating way to die, especially for the pilots who probably had a pretty good idea of what was happening but just never got told how to deal with it
Also, it just blows me away, the corporation as a whole got charged with felony fraud, fraud which caused the deaths of hundreds of people, and they still just get to be a company after saying sorry and paying a little fine. Like, when Fuckup Beauregard III decides to rob his local gas station with an unloaded gun and the clerk dies of a heart attack (or when his accomplice Cletus gets shot and killed by a responding police officer), the felony murder rule will kick in for him and say “someone dying as a result of your felonious behavior is legally equivalent to you intentionally murdering them,” but that sort of thing just doesn’t ever happen to rich and powerful people.

- Comment on Starfield "can't shoot" bug can be fixed by using the character creator 1 year ago:
An initial solution looked to have been found from an old Fallout 4 VR thread on Steam, where the same problem could be fixed by using a console command to change the player’s sex.
In Starfield, the same command works, but all you need to do to fix the bug is enter the character customisation screen. Using console commands, this can be done by entering ‘showlooksmenu player 2’. If you’re playing Starfield on console, you can visit an Enhance Clinic for 500 credits to get into the character customisation. You don’t actually have to change your appearance, as players have reported that simply entering and exiting customer customisation makes weapons work as intended once again.
This was already true, but is even more so now - Bethesda should make console commands available on Xbox immediately. Besides the fact that there was no reason to restrict them to PC players in the first place, they’re almost certain to be necessary for all sorts of weird troubleshooting that’s likely to come up in any game this big.
- Comment on is this funny? 1 year ago:
I feel like there could be a funny (well, funnier) version of this,
Yeah, my first job was under a bridge and now millions of people are seeing me on social media every day
Jokes are funnier to people if you let them fill in a missing detail or two, actually saying “troll” makes it a bit too obvious
Also, he should be trying to flirt and she should look bored out of her mind, because magical creatures with mundane problems (like bad dates) has been funny since before Shrek
