- Comment on Amazon started hiding ratings for some products 1 day ago:
Lots of their electronics options are these really TEMU-tier garbage specs with half a mile of promotional material between the “Buy” button and the details/reviews.
You really need to know what you’re trying to buy, how to use the filters to screen out the crap, and even then its a gamble. Amazing to feel the temptation to just go to Best Buy.

This feels like one of those “I’ve never kissed a girl before, but I’ve watched a lot of porn” fantasies that works great in your head and horrible in practice.

First part: mansplaing and helping are often hard to tell apart. Especially if you get mansplained all the time. In this case I am sure you are in the right.
One of the problems with “Hello, I’m from the internet and I have a story where I was definitely right and the other person was the asshole” is that you’re getting a very one-sided narrative without any historical context.
Just-So rants are a dime a dozen around here.
- Comment on Not to get into a debate. If God is so omnipotent and above humans why does he or she have emotions? Like smiting or being upset or wrath? 2 days ago:
All written accounts of God are produced by humans for an audience of other humans.
In the same way that we might describe a storm cloud as “angry” or a sunny day as “cheerful”, one might apply emotional descriptors to an omnipotent divine force in order to personify an impersonal and abstract force.
Past that, assuming you believe that a divine being is above humanity, why wouldn’t they have emotions? Emotions are a feature of sentience and God is supposed to be a super-sentient creature. If anything, it would experience these emotions more intensely and intricately than its creations. The human rage of a shout or the despair of a cry becomes the earth-splitting eruption of a volcano or the suffocating deluge of a flood.
At the same time, it is the overwhelming longing for companionship that drives God to form life from the void of space. The intense joy in the creative act leads this fundamental superhuman force to tirelessly build an entire universe. The deep and profound pride and love which brings him among his creations clothed in their own form, willing to endure the humiliation of this avatar form in order to enlighten and elevate his divine progeny to his own level.
Absent these primal emotional urges, why would a God choose to be a God at all, and not simply languish within the darkness for eternity, content to the echoing silence of dead space?

The existential horror of suicide bombing is implicit in the nihilism of the bomber, an individual who believes their only value to society is as a personification of military technology. The show doesn’t explore this at all. The character doesn’t have any character. He’s just a throw-away threat used to explain another Supe’s disfigurement.
They got away with it because it has similarities with what happened in the past
Naqib is a lazy caricature of a Syrian guerrilla fighter. He gets something like two lines, then gets decapitated. The writers got away with it because lazy caricatures of Arabs in action media are the standard for western media.
Compare him to Ted Sprague in the TV Show “Heroes”, a guy with a legit story arc, a tragic backstory, multiple confrontations with the protagonists, and an ongoing beef with “The Company” (the Vought counterpart in the Heroes setting) that drives the plot forward.
Of course Sprague is a mash up of Ted Kaczynski and Timmothy McVey rather than Cliche Arab. So I guess he deserves a bit more respect.

This supe was specifically made to trick the US into allowing supes into the military. The show got away with it because they’re criticizing the same thing you are.
It’s a cheap and lazy critique. “We gave the Muslim the Blow Himself Up power, virtually no lines, no real story arc, who is a cheap throw-away useful idiot character to advance a plot that’s mostly about white people grappling for power”.
The writing isn’t particularly original or compelling anymore. It’s like they just gave up after season 3. Now every episode just an excuse to have Homelander laserbeam people in the dick. Invincible has gone the same way. They’ve substituted gross-out visuals for all but the most basic-bitch “Bad Guys Are Bad, Good Guys Are Annoying and Conflicted” story arcs.

Can’t believe the TV Show that freely trades on ethnic tropes would do this.

Victor Orban is also very much not Polish
Is he European?
We were talking about popluational trends and statistics though
Since the collapse of the USSR, the trend towards reactionary religious movements has only increased over time. You can definitely blame this on western evangelicals and Catholics piling into these countries during their brief liberalization phase. But to say Europe lacks a large and wealthy Christian community is to deny what’s in front of your eyes.
I will explicitly say that I’m talking about “median” population, not literaly the extreme 0.1%
The extreme 0.1% are the ones with all the money.
Past that, European parliaments all have their variation on the Christian Democrat Party. The CDU is currently the largest party in Germany, following the ignominious collapse of Olaf’s Greens. Idk how you win 208 MPs without a plurality of popular support.

How is China imperialist?
It helps if you insist the natural state of Chinese territory is a balkinized patchwork of ethnic enclaves fighting border wars “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” style, and the amalgamation of territory over 3000 years of dynastic rule gets dumped on the head of the current government.
Bonus points if you don’t mention Uyghurs
Uyghurs are the only Muslim group that the NAFO crowd are allowed to empathize with. And only when they’re local to the Tarim Basin. God help you if you’re a Uyghur living in Europe or Southeast Asia or the United States because they’re not welcome.
the zenz/ US propaganda
Mentioning the name of Adrian Zenz, the history of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (and where it gets its money), or any choice passages from the book Worthy to Escape: Why All Believers Will Not Be Raptured Before the Tribulation marks you out as a Wumao Far-Left Ultra-Stalinist Botfarm with cooties and a stupid face.

That’s sort of the joke. The OG copypasta was supposed to be something you’d post under a pro-China guy, listing all the Chinese atrocities in a mix of English and Mandarin.

I wish that were true. Unfortunately, you have a large population of liberals who believe “This far left and no further” is a policy they’re willing to see others kill and die for.
We’ve got a bloc of political consultants who exist to infiltrate and undermine civil movements, a media sphere that propagates all sorts of hysteria around any kind of local leftist control of government or the economy, and a professional managerial class that is all in on a permanent labor underclass they can profitably exploit.
They’ll wave the rainbow flags and write op-eds about how much they love immigration and wistfully pine for a health care system that’s more affordable, right up until someone suggests their Starbucks Baristas might strike for better benefits. And then its fascism time.

A People’s History of the United States is a 1980 nonfiction book (updated in 2003) by American historian and political scientist Howard Zinn. In the book, Zinn presented what he considered to be a different side of history from the more traditional “fundamental nationalist glorification of country”. Zinn portrays a side of American history that can largely be seen as the exploitation and manipulation of the majority by rigged systems that hugely favor a small aggregate of elite rulers from across the orthodox political parties.

Heckling can work when you’ve got a crowd on your side. But when it’s just you with your paper sign shouting slurs, you end up looking like the asshole instead of the folks you’re jeering.
At some point, you have to engage with the premise. Or, at least, put forward your own beliefs and positions. If it’s just a contest of vibes and mogging, the person with the professional experience in those fields is going to win.

Europe’s been experiencing a far-right religious coded revival for nearly a decade.
German Catholics are fucking insane and they’re all over the political and business scenes. Poland maintains one of the highest rates of religious observance in Europe, with over 85% of citizens identifying as Catholic and regular church attendance remaining remarkably high. Romania hosts one of Europe’s largest evangelical communities, with Pentecostals seeing steadily growing membership for over a decade.
The pox of reactionary Christendom is spreading with the collapse of left-wing institutions and the ramp up of white nationalist propaganda.
