Nobody wants to, but there is no bike lane, so…

Can’t even be relied on to feed it’s people.

The biggest fucking joke of an empire in human history.

I remember when an enthusiastic “yeah!” would end a politicians career and mark them as “too unhinged” to represent anyone.

“well you see, it’s perfectly reasonable that he murdered a surrendered soldier, as he was just following orders!”

The “just following orders” defense still going strong 80 years later.

I’m sure it’s going to be used a lot in the coming decades, assuming the governments actively involved in horrifying human rights abuses ever see any sort of reform…

I hadn’t heard about this before this morning.

Now I want to watch everything that was going to be presented.

You know you’re winning at life and on the right side of history when you threaten people’s families to prevent them from showing an indie movie.

Just a guess based on “covid” and “candles”, a ton of people negatively reviewed candles for not smelling good/right/at all, not realizing they had lost their sense of smell from covid at the time.

I know my spouse had the realization our cold was covid because we couldn’t smell the candles we had bought (and smelled) the week before.

I love games that allow me to have a “decoration set” of armor that doesn’t change stats.

Then I get my maxed out magic regen AND look like a badass.

“EU considers following modern Nazi policy”

I used to think my own sight was bad enough. I get little tiny Starbursts around lights. And I mean tiny. This dot - • - would look like the same dot with a / plastered on top.

Finding out the OP picture is how my wife sees the world at night was a little mind blowing. I knew it could get bad, but damn.

“Dutch government does X”

“It’s them fuckin Americans again”

They might.

Personally I mean the entire country goes back to pre-1948 borders.

No needle in the syringe, apparently.

Still a good way to get bodyslammed into a wall. I’m not waiting to see if there’s a needle or not.

has a left-wing bias

So does reality.

But some people are, perplexingly, still concerned with “being fair”.

People like this want you conflate “the country of Israel” with “all ethnic/religious Jewish people everywhere”

It allows them to more easily call people antisemitic when you criticize the Israeli government.

Even IF Israeli intelligence hadn’t ignored reports of potential attacks, and even IF they hadn’t intentionally lowered security in order to make potential attacks worse, all in order to give them and excuse to do the thing they already wanted to do, committing genocide in response is a FULL FUCKING STOP “no”

m not American. The presence of fascists in US politics has been a commonly accepted truth in anybody anywhere left of demochristians for half a century.

I am an American and idk where this idea comes from because I’ve been noticing a decline at least since high school political science forced me to pay attention for the first time. It’s been hard not to notice the slope getting steeper every day.

Lol.

LMAO, even.

This particular downslope has been around for 20+ years, and it’s been arguably more like 50 years.

Hell, the only reason we have the small amount of gun control we do is because Regan was afraid of black people owning guns.

Fascism has been festering for a long time, most people only notice now because it’s finally affecting them.

When you tell a funny story from your childhood but instead of laughing, your friend hugs you and says “I’m so sorry you went through that” :

I’m learning a bit of sign language since my wife will likely be fully deaf inside 10 years, and one day we were in a food court and I saw two people arguing in ASL.

One of them started getting larger and more abrupt with their movements and the other interrupted to sign “Don’t yell at me.”

I wasn’t paying enough attention to know what they were arguing about, but it made me giggle a bit at the phrasing.

Ooh, sweet! A middle eastern country that Americans can name is making improvements!

Military Industrial Complex: absolutely fucking not

It’s crazy how quickly things can improve when global superpowers aren’t fucking carpet bombing them.

I don’t trust an ICE thug to know the difference between night and day, let alone different asians/pacific islanders.

The ONLY Asians I’d expect them to be able to identify are russians.
