  • YSK Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, scientists, government officials. Everyone was terrified.

  • But he wasn't criticizing communism, or advocating for capitalism. He was criticizing a dictator and saying he prefers democracy.

    Unless you think communism can't exist outside of a brutal dictatorship.

  • I thought the series (of books) was great. The only complaint I had at the time was I thought 2-3 books around the start of the second half should have been condensed into one. But if I was reading it now with them all out it might not bother me. At the time I would be pretty annoyed that the main plot didn't move much and now I had to wait for the next one.

  • Yeah the while old empire thing was basically a giant socialism strawman (including equal distribution of sex from pretty women, lol) that he totally destroys by showing everyone by example how to pick yourself up by your bootstraps. And his author blurb says he a member of the Ayn Rand society or something like that. That shit didn't start creeping in in a big way until the later books though. It was enough to put me off his follow-up series.

    Edit: Shit, apparently he wrote 15 more after I stopped with book eleven, which really felt like a complete end to me, I was surprised way back then that there were any more. I don't know how he managed to milk it that much.

  • Even if you develop the worst type of dementia imaginable, please find a way to always remember the events of 11/13/25.

  • You just made me see the cap on the pole for the first time.

  • It's real. If I remember correctly, there was a problem with the sound and he filled the time pretending to suck a dick with the microphone. Why? Who the fuck knows.

  • I've got a lot of play in my life and the woman almost always made the first move. Because I don't want to be a creep giving unwanted attention and I'm the kind of idiot where a woman can come sit in my lap and stroke my inner thigh and I'll think "hmmm, I wonder if she might be interested in me."

    If a woman has never hit on you, I've got bad news for you dawg (assuming you want a woman to hit on you).

    Edit: Lemmy, help me settle an argument. The night my wife and I got together, she sat in my lap, leaned back and into me, tilted her head back, put her arm around my head and pulled it down, and placed her mouth millimeters from mine. But I moved the last two fucking millimeters so she insists that I kissed her. Who kissed who first?

  • Trump's Big Beautiful Bill

    Jump

  • One of the Epstein emails talks about pics of Trump blowing Bubba and the speculation is that Clinton is Bubba.

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

    Jump

  • I'd spend about $3k on something unreasonable like a bottle of scotch. Or maybe several $500-750 bottles I will actually drink soonish so I don't end up never opening the $3k bottle always waiting for the right time. I'd also get my wife a nice bag in a price range she would rarely get for herself, so another $2-3k. The rest would go in my brokerage.

  • They Wylin'

    Jump

  • The use of the definite article "the" is important.

    He didn't ask if Putin "has photos" like you and I might if we were joking about some hypothetical blackmail material we don't actually know exists, he asked if Putin "has the photos."

  • uBlock Origin for Firefox?

  • Even establishment Democrats say Chuck Schumer must go

  • I think he's saying add him to the list for directing it, not let the eight off the hook because they didn't act independently.

  • Coca cola is making a pure AI ad

    Jump

  • Idea for a new job:

    Become an expert consultant on having just the right amount of AI bullshit in your ads to generate a ton of free engagement (like this thread) without taking away from the effect in people casually watching it who hopefully won't notice.

    Seriously, discussion over this, here and elsewhere, has forced more Coca-Cola branding into my brain than I think I've seen in the past year.

  • you're untapped value

  • They may just be confused about what they heard, or they heard that from someone confused.

    Something I heard, which sounds more plausible, is: rotisserie chickens that have been sitting around a bit (not even close to going bad, just not very hot and fresh anymore) are used to make the things they sell with rotisserie chicken in them, like those trays of chicken and broccoli Alfredo. (I can eat an embarrassing large portion of those "family size" trays.)

    I could see how after being passed through a few people that turns into what they said.

  • True, it is nice to be reminded of that piece of shit's financial ruin. We just have to hope that any donations she got went to legal fees.

  • Without getting into your definition of good or bad, the reason people have different opinions on those wars is because they are very different.

    Outside of "south" vs. "north", being on the same continent, and involving communists they don't have much in common.

    People feel different about things that are different.
