oh a hundred percent that’s a major factor. but aren’t they already getting that from animated spider-man, a property everyone actually likes

his stupid fucking internet satellites make planning getting things into orbit real hard. also it’s not even his tesla in space. he stole it from mark eberhart

i’m convinced that whole thing is a tax fraud. i don’t know how specifically, but it’s a scam/scheme

but the movie they needed

the movie is intentionally bad. if he’s bad in it, it’s just because he did the job he was asked, aka, he did a good job being an actor

i think it has more to do with dialect than anything. i speak appalachian dialect so sometimes i’ll use an archaic word. the irony is she usually figures it out faster than most other english speakers since our archaics are largely eastern european in origin, but to her in that moment it feels like “oh, i don’t know what this native english speaker is saying, i guess english is still a skill i’m working on”

i always am like “oh no, i talk funny” but it’s been happening more as she’s become closer friends with me and my fiance and we all talk on metaphysics and shit

my ukrainian coworker always apologizes for her bad english. meanwhile she can, and does, write poetry in all four languages she speaks

where is this?

they have lost all credibility.

parasite fighters are so back

yeah i tried looking up what that would even be a symbol of and how that, historically, could be justified, and found absolutely nothing. not even in their “yo, tha’s anti-semitic” claim.

i’ve been really disappointed in the ADL. the world doesn’t need a second AIPAC, and it does need more organizations like the SPLC to keep track of racist dog whistles, and i think the ADL used to be that, but now they’re fully subservient to the will of the nation of israel, which is… deeply upsetting as someone whose great great grandmother fled what is today Ukraine after russia decided outward expressions of non-russian identities within the russian empire was unacceptable, and they’d start with the Ashkenazi because getting people to hate jews is real easy for some reason.

zion is a concept, not a place. Palestine was only selected to be the location for zion after it became clear Lwów (today Lviv) was going to remain under soviet control following WWII, so somewhere else needed to be zion. modern day israel is where it is not out of the deep value of the holy land as a home for the Jewish people, but as a political expedient that also helped the UK and US with a colonization project they had in mind.

it bothers me that for so many zionists, the actual location of zion doesn’t apparently matter, but it does matter that they get to inflict suffering on others. why are they so certain a city they left 1800 years ago is more suitable for their livelihoods than cities they left 140 years ago? because i can’t help but notice indigenous Palestinians (who have been through every wave of suffering with us and more, by the way, they are our brothers) have darker skin than indigenous Ukrainians and Poles. it makes me think zionist israel is a project of white supremacy, not of Jewish survival

what’s this now about octopi?

Bitch we been trying, and you’re just cramming shit we don’t want down our throats like AI and Crypto to make sure the minerals under our dirt keep making you profit even if it kills you and everyone you know

the more desperate someone is the worse things they’re willing to do. this has been the predominant principal of moscovite rule since the 1500s at least. they enforce terrible living conditions on friend and foe alike in the hopes of creating an advantageous situation in which everyone will go along with what’s going on to avoid it coming for them.

the greatest tool the people at the top of our hierarchical societies have to maintain the hierarchy is our apathy, and they keep us apathetic by torturing us into believing hope is a useless endeavor. our greatest strength is our solidarity. there’s more of us, those without power in the hierarchy, than there are of them.

the frustration here is that these soldiers are kept too desperate to see the truth: they are starved by their commanders, not the Ukrainians, or the west, or whoever else their command structure is telling them. they could be fed if they took the option to desert or surrender. but it’s more convenient for them to carve out a pocket for themselves within the hierarchy. “i wield more power than civilians so i get some food. i am better than Ukrainians so it’s fine for me to kill them. my commander is above me, so it makes sense his food is better.”

it’s this style of thought that sees the rise of the worst forms of government across the world, and it has everything to do with that it’s what works best for ~17-22 people, and one of them is the sickly potato shaped dickface in charge of russia

orkish horde

the two dudes who lead lemmy development and run both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad both deeply and truly suck at being decent human beings

the good news is this is a lesson to never trust any entity whose role in the world is to accumulate capital

gee i wonder which ally he’s worried about not honoring their agreements

morons. absolute morons vying for total global control

the secret is i don’t think anyone on lemmy is my friend. i find everyone here frustrating and annoying! the system works!
