Lemmy reminds me of 2001 because you get to watch the pictures load from the top down.
- Comment on I’m philosphying. You should philosophying too. 2 days ago:
In undergrad philosophy, most exams are simply headshots of famous philosophers that the students have to identify. In post-graduate studies, they use the picture of Nietzsche when he’s shaved.

It’s a myth that Congress gets this many days off. They work very hard begging for money and making promises.

The interesting question is how does the pitcher hit themselves? Throw the ball around the world? Portal gun?

A fun fact about the famous picture of Thich Quang Duc immolating himself in Vietnam in 1963 is that Duc was not protesting the Vietnam war but instead the Buddhist oppression by the Catholic minority that controlled the government.

Symbols are for the symbol minded
-George Carlin
This mayor is a fool for thinking his flag-staffs are important. Getting outraged over this makes the same mistake.

If all Communism is Soviet, then all capitalism is The Dutch East India Company.
Racism, slavery, and settler colonialism is the origin story of capitalism. But yea, the gulags were bad and stuff.
- Comment on XCancel and Nitter: Why bother with US Law? 2 weeks ago:
he has a personal private army deputized as federal Marshalls by the US president, and he owns an intercontinental ballistic missile system that can fire a 10 ton tungsten rod into your country’s capitol from orbit and decapitate your entire government.
Who is on Ketamine?
Leaving aside the scifi conspiracy crap, (And I’m holding out hope you’re just kidding) “Rods from God” are almost as stupid as space lasers. Every Newton of energy released by a kinetic weapon must fist be stored as potential energy, i.e. lifting 10 tons into orbit.
But you can’t just do it once. You’d need several projectiles for each launch platform, and you’d need multiple platforms to credibly threaten the whole earth, and more still if you don’t want to wait hours for the launch platform to orbit over your target.
Ballistic nuclear weapons are superior in every concealable way and that’s why we built those instead of scifi fever-dreams and star wars.
- Comment on Rewatching the Raimi Spider-Man movies and realized MJ constantly cheats or emotional cheats in every single movie. 3 weeks ago:
I guess we got tired of hating on Skyler White and Jenny from Forrest Gump so we’re spinning the wheel and it turned up MJ from two Spidermans ago.

These ghouls made us all afraid to call an ambulance; they’re the real terrorists.
- Comment on I love it when this happens while I'm scrolling 4 weeks ago:
The point of sanctions is not to deny a country access to products. That would be impossible. The idea is that acquiring sanctioned goods is full of friction and expense.
Smugglers don’t offer 2day shipping or easy returns. It’s also ironically a good thing to see Western tech in Russian weapons because it implies that they can’t produce the tech themselves or buy it off China.
- Comment on "WHERE DA ANIMAL DICKS AT!" 4 weeks ago:
Everything special about this man was true when he still had an umbilical chord.
He and Trump are what happens to generational wealth. You have clever criminals like Trump’s dad and Grandad, and Joseph Kennedy, only for three generations to pass and your left with stupid criminals.
I think that the Trump and Kennedy names belong next to each other. Even if it does ruin the opera for rich cunts.

A capitalist food supply is made for profit. If the food cannot be profitable, then it it worthless and discarded. Now apply this to housing, education, the justice system, and healthcare and you start to understand our situation.

Online debate is fun. I don’t care if it falls short of solving the worlds problems.
- Comment on Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials? 5 weeks ago:

Stone and Parker are the embodiment of genX politics. That is the cynical mantra that people who believe in stuff are the real fools. And it doesn’t matter if you deny the Holocaust or advocate for green energy, in South Park you’ve committed the same sin.
Sure they make fun of Trump. But they also had an entire season devoted to frat-boy bullies and tyrants who advocated for inclusion, equity, and social justice. Because that’s a social problem in American and Matt & Tray simply have the courage to finally speak truth to power.
Oh, and meanwhile Global Warming is a hysterical myth that Al Gore invented.
- Comment on Different strokes 5 weeks ago:
When I worked at Blockbuster, I miskeyed almost every credit card number on new-member applications. The system didn’t authorize the cards, or even check if the number was valid.
At the end of every shift, the computer would attempt to charge late fees to the card on record if your balance was >30days old. The failure rate was high due to expired cards anyway, so nobody ever got suspicious.

It’s not like the regular numbers behave themselves. Have you ever heard a coherent, non-self referential definition of the number 3?

only responds to their investors…
Did you know this is legally enforceable? The shareholders can sue a publicly company if it doesn’t prioritize ‘shareholder value’. For example a company that cut profit instead of doing layoffs.
It’s not spoiled leadership, but a rotten ecosystem that breeds amphibian avarice as the dominant culture.

Homer is obviously white in terms of culture
You seem to understand that race and skin color are not the same thing, which makes the rest of your argument confusing. If we are to understand that yellow is just a proxy for white, then making it the standard and default is preserving the essence of whiteness while flatting and erasing everything else.
Race isn’t real. Neither are laws, human rights, boarders, sovereignty, language, the law, and money. Just because something isn’t real doesn’t make it powerless or irrelevant. Only people with yellow privilege get to ignore race.
- Comment on Fuck AIPAC 1 month ago:
AIPAC’s money, at least in this case appears to be impotent.
Did you know that for every dollar AIPAC spends on pro-Israel lobbying, evangelical Zionists spend 2-3 dollars more? Turns out it’s the Christians who are furtively controlling things behind the scenes.
