Srsly Wrong’s latest podcast talked a lot about how oil companies funded grassroots pro oil campaigns and then linked it to our larger culture and how we can’t trust anyone anymore.
I never thought I’d be able to say not trusting each other is big oils fault, but here we are
I agree with you, but you might find the history of Zionism interesting. Before Israel, there was a sizable portion of Zionists that didn’t want Israel to exist in the middle east. There were also Zionists that didn’t want a ‘state’. They thought it was more important to have a safe place for a sizable Jewish population. There’s probably a lot of flavors of Zionism that you’d agree with. It’s the dominant Israeli Zionism that’s horrible.
It’s a lot easier to say ‘Zionist’ though. Just thought I’d share in case you weren’t aware.
By all accounts she saved the original trilogy from George’s input.
Dude fundamentally doesn’t understand art.
Artist makes art.
Artist puts it out into the world.
Consumer consumes art.
Consumer interprets art.
The art is then an amalgamation of the artist, the art, and the consumer.
The art is meaningless without the consumer.
Grow up George. We don’t want your newly interpreted versions of a thing that you get credited for creating. Han shot first and your ex wife saved the original trilogy from your input.
Lenin and the Bolsheviks essentially legalized it though.
Nobody likes Stalin. If you do, think about your life and your place in the world
I’ve been paying attention to this thing for close to 23 years.
When I came in, it was after a long period of time where the Palestinian government was sending suicide bombers. It must’ve been horrible to live through, but you can’t change minds by making their lives harder, and you’ve got to take responsibility for your own actions.
Shaun really won me over when early in the video he states that Israel being more powerful has more responsibility in the peace process. It’s not a revolutionary idea, but it was nice to hear.
I’d never heard of him before, but I ended up listening to him all day at work. He seems very rational and compassionate. I owe you one
Listening now. Thanks for sharing
Oct 7 was an attack. It was violent. We still don’t know the casualties caused by hamas. Israeli government has admitted that some of their response killed Israeli citizens. They refuse to cooperate with the UN investigation into the Oct 7 attacks. There’s also been some credible reporting refuting the scale of rape on Oct 7. I’m not trying to minimize an individuals trauma, but the Israeli government’s rationale for bombing Gaza has been the scale of rape.
In short, we know there was a horrific attack on Oct 7.
Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.
The Oct 7 attack was about taking hostages. It was not about destroying Israel and its citizens.
Now the bombing of Gaza… If you can’t see that it’s genocidal, try living in Gaza as a Palestinian in 2024. Seriously. Just move there. I’m so fucking tired at seeing these ghoulish fucking hot takes. ‘Actual genocidal acts accompanied by actual genocidal language with actual genocidal social media posts but perpetrated by the team I’m cheering for isn’t genocide because the other side is racist’
Of all my Jewish family and friends, it’s only the people that had parents or were directly impacted by the Holocaust that still support Israel. All of the others acknowledge that that trauma explains their support for that flavor of Zionism. I can’t fathom why someone that is far removed from those events can support this particular genocide. Especially considering some Holocaust victims have spoken out about how fascist the Israeli government is. Does that not make you question anything? Or do you just take everything that’s been spoonfed to you with a smile and a thankyou?
Omfg your references are about things that happened 100s of years ago! The islamization of Jerusalem happened over a period of over 700 years, and stopped over 100 years ago! People are being bombed right now! You’re justifying a genocide over something that stopped over 100 years ago!
What the actual fuck.
I’ve heard, so take with a grain of salt, that China likes Chiang’s ideology that China should be reunified.
The disagreement was who should be in power after.
The removal of the statues somehow indicates they don’t want reunion.
I get it, but as a fan of Mario, would you rather watch the movie with the va or Pratt?
I’m 100℅ va, but I may be weird
Not a bad fit, but why not the original voice actor? That’s what a lot of people want to see. These VAs do amazing work and their faces aren’t on screen
There’s lots of ways to do that safely.
Catios are a thing.
My partner has fostered multiple cats and now has two. The older one has seen some shit and appreciates being a housecat. She has zero interest in going outside, but she feels safe basking in the small catio while we have a hot drink on the patio.
Maybe in your very specific case it’s OK for the cats to be outside because you have some type of electric fence to keep the coyotes or foxes out. This is very similar to dogs on a leash. The general rule is keep them on a leash. But one in a thousand dog owners has trained their remarkable pup to not need the leash. I’ve seen it, but the rule is dog on a leash for the 999 of us.
Even if it’s faithful, the humor from the games is dated so much that only diehards will like it. If it’s not faithful, diehards will hate it.
It’s almost guaranteed to be bad by huge portions of people that will watch it
Maybe I should do that. It’s cheaper than a ring.
Pearl was adopted by my partner 3 years ago. At that time we couldn’t pet her. She now jumps onto my lap (1 year ago) and sits on my partners chest with her ass in my partners face (3 months ago).
It’s really neat seeing them get more comfortable and how long it takes.
Israel has attacked 4 different countries in it’s ‘war against hamas.’ It’s attacked, Syria, Lebanon, Iran and Palestine. They’re aggressively trying to escalate.
Taiwan has always been a bit fascy.
When Kai Cheks party split from the CCP, he ordered the killing of any communists still inside his own party effectively starting a civil war. Kai chek eventually lost and fled to Taiwan where he ruled until his death.
That bit of history is crazy interesting and also illuminating regarding current Chinese policy. I’d really encourage anyone to read up on it
Purely speculating here:
The patriot act made it so that the US government had ownership of any data that passed through US land. Is this just a way for the US to monitor all traffic going through into and out of Russia?
It’s actually a big deal inside any privacy space outside of the US. For instance, any healthcare data in Canada can’t go through the US. Same thing for EU countries. Bigger corporations like MS know this and have data centers available for those countries to access within their own borders.
