Honestly if we’re going to be ready for the 2026 world cup we’re going to have to open a LOT of new prisons

I recall a funny thing I read on twitter a while back; someone was saying their DM sprung a story on them and over time got frustrated with the players only to cancel the game because he got upset with the players’ choices. He’d apparently intended on telling a fantasy version of the birth of Israel and thought the players would side with the zionists. I recall another story that this retelling got someone to share but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was unfortunately.

Also ironically Superman would most likely side with Israel in the DC universe; Superman is little more than a shill for the US government and alternate retellings of the DC universe seem to indicate his leanings. During the injustice storyline Superman ‘fixes’ the Israel-Palestine ‘conflict’ by telling them that if they didn’t fix their issues that he’d fix it himself as if the problem is an arbitrary one that just needs both sides to come to the table (enlightened centrism strikes again). In that same storyline he also stops a drone sent by the US military from killing five civilians (it was sent because there was one target in the area; painfully the movie ups the civilian count to 30 because the average person today is so monstrously brain broken that five civilians isn’t considered unacceptable, but 30 might), which means the same crimes happening in the real world are happening in the DC universe and Superman lets it happen. Additionally at one point wonder woman finally takes the gloves off and helps refugees in (Sudan?) kill their oppressors and…okay, fantastic, now go to a country we’re at war with and do the same (for heck’s sake you’re not even American, why should you value US military and be fine with overlooking their crimes?). In a different alternate universe story that takes place further into the future, the government tells superheroes that either they become government employees or they retire, and Superman immediately sides with the US government and enforces their will (literally cutting off green arrow’s arm because he refused to bend to the government’s will).

I haven’t watched this movie but it’s easy to expect Superman to be little more than an extension of the government’s will; if Superman was real he’d be in Gaza murdering Hamas soldiers and just being very, very concerned about war crimes he sees taking place without actually realizing what the heck is going on or actually realizing he’s fighting for the wrong side. I remember reading the plot of the new movie that says Superman fights for truth, justice and the HUMAN way, where originally it’s truth, justice and the AMERICAN way (which like…pick one: either truth and justice, or the American way). Superman may originally have started out as pro-worker, but he’s been shifted to be little more than an enforcer of US foreign policy.

it wasnt a bunch of shit covered bog people who lived to 40 at best

Admittedly I assumed the people in the middle ages were anti-bathers; I recall hearing frequently that lords at that time didn’t used to bathe and there was a famous person who took pride that in his entire life he only ever bathed like…one time. Also I recall hearing the French used to perfume themselves up because they didn’t bathe either and were also covered in diseases. I do admit ‘shit covered bog people’ was actually my initial view; especially as I kept hearing how one of the many ways the vikings differed from them as well was that the vikings bathed (as did native Americans).

I’ll tell you how we should blame this on chuds: tell them this culture of Retvrn to Evropa and Rome and whatever nonsense is a return to literal continents filled with plague killed corpse piles and maybe they should Retvrn to planet earth

…oh my God it is, how did you even catch that? Are you a part of the wokinati, or the freewokesons (and of course you commies would like the free stuff)?

Um…hmmm…I actually also have a tendency to try and tough it out; Im thinking maybe I should be more careful about that.

Crafting an LLM to function as an automated agent of your id seems like a bad idea

I first saw clips of this show on youtube and got interested enough to start watching it; when I realized the supernatural elements were imaginary I lost all interest. I like supernatural shows, not shows like this, which is a shame because the clips I saw of the supernatural elements looked genuinely funny at times, and the costumes were pretty awesome.

I really don’t want to watch just another procedural with no (or according to your spoiler, almost no) supernatural elements. I’d been hoping for something akin to grimm or supernatural.

The crew was, however, “rescued” and “transported to a safe place” by the Yemeni forces, the statement said.

If this was the other way around, no Yemenis would have been rescued; they would have murdered the Yemeni troops and then came up with justifications for why it’s okay

I’d ask if Israelis have enough self consciousness to start wondering why October 7th happened and to learn about it beyond the propaganda, but the polls would indicate otherwise.

Also they’re settlers living on stolen land; it is in their interest to murder and drive out the original owners; sort of like post-ww2 Europeans who stole Jewish wealth, businesses and buildings who then conducted pogroms to drive Jewish people away so they could keep their ill-gotten wealth.

Honestly they’ve been deprived of food, water and basic medicine; I wouldn’t be surprised if the number is higher than even this.

“I’m sorry”

Yeeeeeeaaah no you’re not

The West when America terrorizes the global South: yes, hahaha, yes! Let us help!

That healthcare CEO getting got certainly improved people’s healthcare coverage (at least for a short while)

I always thought that concept that villains in fiction think they’re invincible and untouchable was just for dramatic effect, never realized real humans can reach a point where they can’t imagine getting punched in the mouth

I recall reading something here about a study that found that legal repercussions against the rich leads to greater results in adherence to the law than it does for poorer folk; I feel it’s pretty obvious it’s because they’re reminded they’re not as untouchable as they imagine they are

I recall that article; I looked it up and found this about it:

I hate this so much

It’s so accurate and I hate this so much

These people don’t want to do anything; they’re not trying to make anything better; we’re electing people to sit there and slow the descent into catastrophe and they’re sitting atop us while the waves are at shoulder level and they’re hardly even trying to slow the descent into catastrophe

Kinda works; you open up a good ol’ bag of ‘Trust McAmerica!’ only to find it’s instead a steaming pile of ‘Shouldn’t Have Trusted McAmerica!’

Yes
