I have drawn myself as a chad and you as an ugly wojack so my position is clearly the correct one.

Windows users hate this one neat trick.

Fully agree. Windows is trash spyware now that doesn’t respect user choice.

I was really commenting more on the meme itself.

I’ll admit, the reason I ended up reading the whole article were the words “Ben Schwartz.”

I hate it. It’s why you have a lot of immigrant Indian men up-and-coming in the US Republican party and US conservatives in general.

Indian conservatism is just as bullshit if not moreso than US conservatism.

In the “never realized dreams” department, two of my friends and I had always hoped to see Electric Six live and hidden under our shirts have a big number six painted on each of our chests.

So halfway through the hot concert we could rip off our shirts for a 666 dance.

That was closer to a remaster of the original though, wasnt it?

Source: played the shit out of both. Seemed just like mostly ported to PC from PS2 to me. Reroll feels very accurate to the OG.

Hey check it out, this guy hasn’t heard of Franz Ferdinand! /s

As to not be rude or dismissive: the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand is generally credited with the start of World War I. The implication being that a world war has been started over a seemingly small event that had tumultuous consequences thereafter. The further implication being that we may already be past a Franz Ferdinand assassination type event and may be worryingly headlong into a path to large scale warfare once again.

I just wish eggnog’s flavor was as celebrated as pumpkin spice.

put that shit in everything.

dingus,
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

I wonder if all the pro pumpkin spice stuff is a backlash against all the anti pumpkin spice stuff that was going around a while back.

Oh yeah, it definitely is. A lot of it is because a lot of weirdos like pumpkin spice, too. It got labeled as a “basic” thing as though being boring and enjoying simple pleasures isn’t what’s available to most people living in poverty, which when 60% of the US lives paycheck to paycheck… is the majority of people. Most people are boring because it’s what we have access to and time for, and a lot of folks are done being vilified for it as though your choice in coffee speaks to some larger issue about you. It doesn’t.

It’s really in many ways an unintentionally classist dig on people who like sweets or just simple things.

Indeed, there’s not as many passionate Nogg Hogs.

Print, it’s text being “published” by the website you’re posting it to.

Also, in the context of the meme, he isn’t saying it, he has a printed sign alleging it so. Thus, libel.

Oh man, do I dare even wade in on this issue. It has gotten so sticky.

  1. There’s a real chance that this attack was successful because of intelligence passed through former US President Donald Trump.
  2. The attack did not represent the will of everyone who lives in Palestine.
  3. The response from Israel so far has been wildly disproportionate and has labelled everyone in Gaza as an enemy, worth pulling access to important things like water and electricity to the whole area. They are calling them “human animals.”

There are literally zero good guys in this situation.

You have the former President of the US and his party who have fully embraced trying to push an authoritarian dictatorship in the states, so they have firmly placed their bets alongside foreign authoritarian dictators whom they want to make allyship with.

You have Hamas deciding to murder people for going to a concert. Maybe the concert was politically motivated or something, but from the sounds of it, it was just… a music concert and wasn’t necessarily a home to the most racist of racist Israeli’s. Plenty of the people who died there that day could have been moderates or leftists who don’t hate the Palestinian people. There are lots of moderates in Israel, you just don’t hear about them as much, because like the US, our crazed conservatives are so loud they drown out anything else in the news cycle. Like why the fuck else would I have been so familiar with the name “Netanyahu” for the last 20 years of my life, but I could hardly bring up the name of moderate or leftists Israeli politicians to save my fucking life. Because Netanyahu, like Trump is the one out doing crazy shit and causing headlines. So likely innocent people dead for a political attack that is likely going to destroy even more innocent lives in Gaza.

Then finally you have Israel deciding (like usual) to take a total disproportionate and racist response where you’re punishing each and every Palestinian for the crimes of a few. It’s racist because they have decided that “all of them are the same.” If you can’t view a group of people as a disparate group who might not all feel the same way about every little thing, you’ve chosen to stereotype them, especially if your view of them is negative, you’re choosing to be prejudiced instead of accepting that everyone is an individual, and no individual deserves to be punished for the crimes of another.

Fuck this whole shit ass clown show. We’re all just trying to have a decent fucking life here. They’re right to call out Israel, they’re wrong to not call out Hamas and Trump right alongside them.

EDIT:

timesofisrael.com/egypt-intelligence-official-say…

It’s also starting to have a mild 9/11 feel, where the government was warned repeatedly, and you’re starting to wonder if they sort of just… let it happen because the aftermath would be politically convenient for what they wanted to do politically?

I mean, it’s Netanyahu we’re talking about here, I 100% firmly believe he’s enough of a scumfuck to let it happen on purpose so he could use to his advantage.

Zero good guys. The Bad, the Badder, and the Ugly.

Israeli intelligence services are supposed to be some of the best in the world. They absolutely have the tools for a targeted response.

I agree, involving more civilians will just continue the unbroken cycle of violence, because that’s how you create new sympathizers for Hamas. You take one politically neutral Palestinian, and have family members murdered by Israel in response to an attack by Hamas, and boom, suddenly, not shockingly, they support Hamas. It really undermines solving the problem.

Israeli military has the tools to root out the individuals responsible, and I really wish they would turn to those tools instead of indiscriminate bombing.

That’s fair, but in that case you might just say “they likely profited handsomely off this venture” or something similar, because if you reach for dollar amounts like that, it can kind of undermine your point.

dingus,
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

Oh for sure, it didn’t undermine your point excessively, just a little, I was mostly just being cheeky, just how it read to me. As I said, I agree with all the things you’re saying. Cheers!

No problem. I remember being mildly irked about it at the time, because while I disagree with his choice to make that donation to that group, and understand the feelings of LGBT people working at Mozilla and how knowing his politics impacted them… He handled the public response to it professionally. He didn’t double down like conservative politicians these days and start shouting about “gays are groomers” or something. He owned it and stepped away, which should at least speak to him not being completely homophobic and able to take ownership of how his personal politics affected others. You see so little of that these days, that when someone acts professionally after perceived wrongdoing, it seems sad when people don’t recognize it.

Also, I never saw any news of him being proven to have made any discriminatory moves while in Mozilla at all. I could be wrong, but I don’t remember employee complaints of being treated differently before the news of his donation broke. Like I said, I can understand how that news can change how you feel about your boss, but if your boss never made an outward show of it in a work environment and a news report on his political donations is what it took for you to know his politics… it means he was probably being pretty fucking professional at work and trying to not let his personal politics infect how he treated his coworkers and employees. *shrugs
