Hey. I volunteer to change my reddit profile pic to a picture of me- with my pasty white legs- wearing socks with sandals.

Kichae,

I'm pretty sure the inevitable Nazi brigades will do that all on their own.

@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world avatar

I am so jealous of someone who didn’t realize Trump was a complete asshole until now.

Imagine how peaceful their lives are. I bet it feels like walking through thick, warm clouds. You can vaguely see shapes and hear muffled sounds but none of it is important enough to trouble yourself about.

Just a fuzzy, happy brain, floating through the universe.

So jealous.

Dkarma,

Never be jealous of idiocy. It’s literally like watching Idiocracy and being like oh man wouldn’t that be so great,…

todd_bonzalez,

These kinds of stupid people are usually uneducated and have shit jobs, have failed relationships and marriages, have been disowned by their children and so on.

Don’t be jealous. Ignorance isn’t always as blissful as people make it seem.

If allowing over 300,000 people to die by a manageable pandemic didn't change their minds.

If two impeachments didn't change their minds.

If the campaign trail consisting of yelling about babbling nonsense didn't change their minds.

If being induced to get involved in an insurrection where now many members are finding themselves jailed didn't change their minds.

What makes anyone think a guilty verdict would?

Dkarma,

Guilty is extremely cut and dry. All the BS and fish gallops in the world can’t wipe the word convicted felon from trump.

last time i checked Biden isn't the President of Gaza.. Biden doesn't "handle" Gaza.. he is "handling" the United States of America the way it should be handled.. fuck Gaza, fuck Israel.. they can all kill each other, that's all they know how to do.. they can take each other back to the Bronze Age if that's what they want, i don't give a fuck..

It is well documented that Netanyahu is motivated by a similar logic. As long as the country is at war, he will remain at the helm and be able to delay or even cancel his long-awaited corruption trial — so why bother ending it?

MrJameGumb, to enoughmuskspam in Elon Musk is lashing out at MacKenzie Scott, Jeff Bezos' ex, for donating billions to charities for women and minorities
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, how dare she spend her own money on whatever she wants??? What is the world coming to???

RGB3x3, (edited )

Not her own money, money she got from Bezos in their divorce.

But I still entirely support her usage of it. She seized half of Bezos’ money and is using it for good. We all know Bezos would have just kept hoarding it

Edit: my god, do people not say “she took all his money in the divorce” anymore? I was pointing out that she rightfully took a ton of Bezos’ money and is now actually using it to do good, instead of it being hoarded by Bezos.

stoly,

LOL you must frequent men’s rights groups

Yes, her own money.

That’s not money from Bezos, but rather her splitting out her share, that was always hers. Whatever objection you might have, whatever you think is a solid argument for her not actually earning it, has already been crushed flat by legal precedent.

Her own money.

ricecake,

Not her own money, money she got from Bezos in their divorce., just money that’s hers to do with as she pleases.

If you get money via legal action, it’s your money just as much as any other money.

MrJameGumb,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

She got it in a divorce that means legally it is her money, she could just cash it out and burn it if she really wanted to lol

procrastitron,

On top of that, she was heavily involved in Amazon from its inception.

She earned her money just as much as Bezos did.

msage,

She earned her money just as much as Bezos did.

so not at all?

nobody earns billions. nobody

procrastitron,

I largely agree, especially in the case of Amazon which is notorious for worker rights violations.

That’s why I described it as “as much as Bezos did” rather than in absolute terms.

msage,

We are on the same page, I just don’t like adding /s.

Amazon did so much bad shit that I would use all that money to make people forget that I was ever connected to it.

riodoro1,

not her own

she got

If you get money from your employer it’s also not yours?

thisorthatorwhatever, to politics in 'No legitimate business purpose': Trump sued by Truth Social business partners

Haha, Trump increased his shares to 1 Billion shares, from 78 million. Squeezig everyone else out.

Also, Truth Social values itself at $4Billion, LOL.

It seems nothing here smells right, from the valuation of the company to somehow Trump declaring he has 1 billions shares of the company.

grabyourmotherskeys,

Stock split to make him feel important. I’m guessing, of course. Plus he probably thought this make the company more valuable.

assembly,

How in the holy hell can that dumpster fire of a social media site be worth $4billion???

RvTV95XBeo,

IDK, but let me know when that IPO hits, because I’m ready to short like crazy!

FReddit,

The spac IPO took place a couple years ago.

You’re talking about the de-spac, when the two companies merge and DW becomes public.

RamblingPanda,

I mean… Trump has access to A LOT of idiots that would buy his turds. He could probably sell some overvalued shares to them.

baru,

How in the holy hell can that dumpster fire of a social media site be worth $4billion???

Might be similar to selling books or shoes. It’ll be bought to give way more money than otherwise would be allowed. A wealthy donor might not be allowed to send the money directly. So they buy loads of books/shoes/etc.

xenomor, to news in Israeli troops ‘fire on people waiting for aid’ as Gaza death tolls hits 30,000

Between this and the protest vote in Michigan, we may finally see movement from the Biden administration. I’m hearing that there’s discussion about Joe, perhaps, furrowing his brow the next time he’s at the ice cream shop as a sign of solidarity with his increasingly outraged electorate.

blargerer,

Its not really apples to apples, but there were more undeclared votes(as a %) in Michigans primary for Obama in 2012. Despite all the spin, its really difficult to say the campaign was at all successful.

GrymEdm,

People are trying to shore up support for Biden by saying that Trump would be even worse, but Biden is literally letting this happen now. He’s not just letting it in fact, he’s taking measures like bypassing Congressional oversight to make sure weapons reach Israel. On average about 100 children die every day and hundreds more are wounded - that’s like a mid-sized k-9 school getting bombed every single day. Are American citizens supposed to view this as “restraint” and be thankful it’s “only” this bad?

shalafi,

saying that Trump would be even worse

Do you disagree?

shani66,

On this specific issue? Kinda. Trump is bluster, and he’ll certainly try to undermine the constitution for his own gain (which would be an incredible loss for all of us), but i don’t think he cares enough about anything but himself to really commit to a foreign genocide.

Ensign_Crab,

Democrats should not be supporting genocide. And they shouldn’t be using “Trump would be worse” as an excuse to do so.

GrymEdm, (edited )

I do disagree, with nuance. Explaining would make for a long post, so the short(er) version is I think if Trump wins things stay about the same for Gazans - which is to say very desperately bad. Biden’s PR team has been talking about the need to reduce casualties and protect civilians for months now, the ICJ ruled that Israel must protect civilians and facilitate aid and yet there’s no sign of Israeli restraint. For corroborating evidence, Oxfam released a report in January that shows the daily death rate in Gaza is 2.5x that of 2nd place for the 21st century (Syria), 5x greater than Iraq or Ukraine wars, and over 10x worse than Afghanistan. According the UN’s humanitarian office, over 60% of housing has been fully or partially demolished and only 22.5% of primary health facilities are operational (among many other facts on that page). Given evidence like that I’m not sure what I’m supposed to believe Biden is preventing - his PR talk about reasonable measures and lasting peace is worthless when compared with actions and consequences. Some say it would be worse with Trump, but how, to what extent, and what is that assertion based on?

In the USA, things get much worse if Trump wins. I won’t go into the list of reasons why I think that because that would definitely be a long post. I’ll just say he’s a dictatorial, narcissistic criminal and leave it at that.

So another Trump term = about equal in Gaza (which is what this thread is about) because under Biden it’s already terrible, and things also get much worse in the USA. Biden is clearly the less harmful choice domestically, but provably Gazans are right now dying quickly with Western (primarily US) support regardless.

Burn_The_Right, to news in Israeli troops ‘fire on people waiting for aid’ as Gaza death tolls hits 30,000

Israel is committing genocide.

rgb3x3, to scifi in 'Borderlands' movie adaptation stars Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis

I’m not thinking this is going to be good. I love Cate Blanchett, love Jack Black, and Kevin Hart… but the actors were definitely not the right choice for the roles. Kevin Hart is tiny when Roland is a massive dude, Cate Blanchett is just too old for being Lilith, and Jack Black will just be Jack Black and not Claptrap. And where’s Mordecai and Brick?

We’ll see, but video game movies are always a crapshoot because the producers rarely understand the source material.

wolfshadowheart,
wolfshadowheart avatar

Jack Black rarely really plays himself in voice acted roles. He really embodies Bowser in the Mario Movie, and even Kung Fu Panda he isn't really himself, so I'm not really worried for Claptrap.

As for the other examples, I don't think actors have to be young or yolked to play a character. Not that I see Hart as Roland, just that I don't think his size matters for this at all.

But yeah the movie could really go either way, there's a lot of potential but Borderlands could very easily be a franchised series so I do wonder about the casting from a different perspective.
