1·3 days agoNone of this crazy shit is going to come to pass. It’s just going to be more of the same.
Said literally everyone in history, and… we’re proven wrong eventually.
Unless you have proof of malice.
6·4 days agoI think it’s also likely that it’s very hard to amass billions unless you already have some sort of brain rot.
The last 8 years have gone by in what feels like months.
I’m in the group which thinks lingerie is often sexier than being just in the nude. I think this might backfire on the group advocating for this.
Not really into he-hulk titties though, but I’d definitely take some snu-snu from She-Hulk
would prevent Elon from running for president.
Not native-born though
Pagers are a civilian object though.

There was no way to know where these people would be when the bombs went off. Israel could have detonated at night, to minimise the chance of civilian casualties. They didn’t. During busy markets.
This was literally textbook terrorism, and against international law (see link).
Western media and a bunch of people here on Lemmy. “You don’t get it these were extremely targeted”
Oh? So the deaths and injuries of children and other civilians was purposeful?
You’re living in an imaginary world and making completely unfounded assumptions about other people while insisting on your superiority.
Can you give evidence of what you’ve done to “make things better”, or has your contribution been to whinge online how everyone except you is a bad person, while ignoring all the people actually working to improve things (something which I’m pretty sure you’re not doing yourself)?
Continuously decide to leave the status quo as it is
You’re acting as if there’s actual democracy everywhere and changing the status quo is just a matter of deciding we want better things. You’re disregarding the practical state of democracy and literally all the activism. You’re disregarding the entire history of humanity, basically. You’re acting as if we could just have a conference call among humanity and just decide to get rid of everything bad, and if that doesn’t happen, it means that everyone is a shit selfish person.
“The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends,” Ser Jorah told her. “It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace.” He gave a shrug. “They never are.”
Our systems literally favour psychopaths in leading positions.

Give me evidence.
Of what? People doing things to change things? How about literally all activists? Most people are too busy with their own lives to actively give up everything, but if you’re arguing that no-one is doing anything to “make things better”, that’s a position that’s very easy to prove wrong.
Let’s not pretend all humans are incapable of peace just because we have a system which makes the greedy and cruel rise to the top.
You might be right. I find it dubious, but I think you might be.
Yeah memory is a funny thing I guess. But like, it seems that there would’ve needed to be at least a few years of someone actively blocking the kid from going home if he knew were home was, until he could be gaslighted into believing the new one.
Edit to add: I’m always a little thrown off when I see your username. Just for a second.
Took me a while. I was looking at mine, thinking what’s wrong, why would you be thrown, but then I saw yours and I totally got it.
Did he know he was adopted?
I wonder how he wouldn’t have. The story says he was six when he was abducted. I learned how to read when I was five and knew my own address at six.
How did he never like, just say “I’m not from here, please take me home”? I know America is big, but…
Made me think of this. Pretty much thr exact scenario, as a Mitchell and Web sketch.
