- Comment on Severance — Season 3 Renewal | Apple TV+ 20 hours ago:
!Spoiler
Kier and Lumen are trying to end pain and suffering. The either was a first attempt, severance is the latest.
Was Mark the only one who could work on Gemma’s files? If so, what were the rest of MDR doing?
No, everyone can do the numbers, but they aren’t as good at it as Mark is. Ever since the first episode it has been noted that Mark is particularly good at completing the files.

That’s what’s good about it, the beauty of the OG Enterprise was that any kid could draw it. It’s just three cylinders and saucer.

Cant figure out the spoiler tags on lemmy so warnings for spoilers.
This season we learned what MDR has been actually working on, the goal of Lumen and Kier, who miss cobel was, what the goats are for.
The remaining and new questions are just - why does cobel like mark, why did lumen kidnap gemma specifically, and I guess more background information on the keir cult and other world oddities.
Not sure what you guys are talking about, I felt like it answered all my questions and the only things remaining are just set dressing.

nah, my info’s pretty fresh. I’ve never seen western countries detain people randomly and then condem them to death tho.
I’m not even a big China fan, I just recognized the bias in what you were saying. You’re assumptions about China are like my dad thinking there’s a good chance he’ll win the lottery because every day he hears about a lottery winner. If the media that reported on every lottery winner had to also spend equal time reporting in every lottery loser, that would disabuse everyone of that notion.
You’re upset not because I accused you of something that is false, but that you know I’m right and that’s embarrassing for you.

I love that david lynch was on those show. And also Werner Herzog
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 3 days ago:
You say know what it is, and yet your original comment shows you don’t. You clearly never questioned if the information you were receiving about China was perhaps filtered to give an impression of weakness, cruelty, and disregard for human life - all things we’re naturally biased to think about ‘the other’.

I’m glad you are able to recognize China’s technological shortfalls.
You’re clearly a smart person, I was wondering if you could help me with my aero-defense project. We’d like to armor our planes to better survive being shot at. Here’s an image of one of our bullet riddled planes that landed a few hours ago:
Where do you think I should put the armor? Just where all the red dots are?

- Comment on Apple Loses $1 Billion Annually on Apple TV+ | Report 5 days ago:
When you look at their catalog, it definitely looks like the executives get to submit the ideas for what shows they make.
One c-level loves band of brothers, so they make masters of the air. Another read the Dust trilogy so we got the Silo show.

The porn is just the first place they start, their plan is to label anything lgbt as pornographic and require a similar process to view basic educational content. This is how they get around the 1st amendment.

Civilian Casualties
- Afghanistan: Civilian deaths from U.S. military operations have been significant, with incidents such as the deaths of two detainees at Bagram in 2002 due to torture[2][4].
- Iraq: Civilian casualties peaked in 2006 with over 29,000 deaths. Between 2003 and 2024, civilian deaths fluctuated, with many unaccounted for due to the chaotic nature of war[7].
- Drone Strikes: U.S. drone strikes in countries like Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia have caused numerous civilian deaths, though exact numbers are debated[3][4].
Alleged War Crimes
- Torture: The use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” (e.g., waterboarding) at facilities like Guantanamo Bay and CIA black sites has been widely condemned as violations of the Geneva Conventions[2].
- Bagram Facility: Inhumane treatment and torture led to the deaths of two Afghan detainees in 2002. Military coroners ruled these homicides[2].
- Maiwand District Killings: A “Kill Team” of U.S. soldiers murdered Afghan civilians between 2009–2010 and collected body parts as trophies[2].
- Extraordinary Renditions: Suspected terrorists were transferred to third countries for interrogation under questionable conditions[2].

- Comment on Why was Hitler so mean and hateful toward one group or another? I find it hard to believe he woke up one day and said you and you suck but these people over here are good. Taking it so far as killing? 1 month ago:
Hitler’s antisemitism was shaped by the widespread anti-Jewish sentiment in Europe, particularly in Vienna, where he lived as a young man. He capitalized on these prejudices, blaming Jews for Germany’s defeat in World War I, economic hardships, and other societal issues. By using Jews and other minorities as scapegoats, he was able to unite and mobilize his followers.
In Mein Kampf, Hitler described history as a racial struggle, promoting the idea of Aryan superiority while portraying Jews, Slavs, Roma, disabled individuals, and others as threats to his vision of a “pure” German society. His ideology was influenced by pseudoscientific racism and eugenics, which he used to justify policies of persecution and genocide.
Nazi propaganda reinforced and amplified these ideas, systematically dehumanizing targeted groups. This allowed for widespread discrimination, persecution, and ultimately, the Holocaust. Hitler’s actions were not impulsive; they were deeply rooted in his ideology and strategically used to gain and maintain power.

Do you think fat people don’t feel shame about their bodies? They don’t feel inferior or like failures?
Do those emotions sound like they could be experienced by someone who doesn’t care?
Poor people work jobs, sometimes multiple, sometimes with kids to take care of.
Do they go to the grocery store and pick up all the supplies needed to make healthy dinners for the week, then go home and cook for an hour and a half?
No they put something frozen in the microwave or they grab McDonald’s.
They dont have the financial capital to work less and they don’t have the energy capital to work more at eating right.
You should strongly consider that when you’re judging the fat people who wander into your life, or falling for racist propaganda that tells you poor black people in America must have it pretty good since they’re all obese.
