My favorite part of Transformers was when my government had the script changed to include Marines being heroic in a movie about giant alien robots. We really needed good PR after that whole Afghanistan and Iraq thing.

By the end of the article they’ve framed much of this as being pro-Hamas / anti-Israel when a collaborative encyclopedia was seemingly worried about appearing neutral.
There’s enough there to have a good argument about sources and consistent wording but the article keeps highlighting people who think it’s purely political and even that people probably didn’t read the issue, they just wanted to be pro or anti Israel.
There’s still a lot of people who call this a genocide because they feel / think it’s a genocide, not because they’re on a side. Having consistent wording is important because you should be able to speak the truth and still feel whatever you felt… it’s not about hating Israel. I guess the beginning of the article sort of captures that mindset.
It’s like an old 100 yo trend of writing headlines except it has gotten much more “slam”-filled. Crash blossoms / headlinese has evolved over time.
I agree that Lando broke the rules, don’t get me wrong. Max is phenomenal at everything, finding the limit everywhere.
I guess there’s no leeway for when a car passes off track so the stewards can’t do much. Or maybe the logic is that cars must decide when to give a position up, but never to take a portion.
I don’t understand the stewards on this one. The attacker has to prepare for a pass this late in the race. It’s a fighter in round 5 creating an opportunity to win. You can’t cheap shot the attacker and then go “guess you’ll have to try again.” It makes no sense.
They even tell teams to handle off track incidents themselves before they get involved. Well the defender went off the track because they lost control (aka purposely came off the brake) and couldn’t make the corner. The defender destroyed all that preparation by leaving the track, thereby gaining a multiple lap advantage! Clearly the attacking car should keep the place. But now it’s up to the stewards to decide apparently.
I need to try windows again. I remember it being more complex than Linux. I switched just so things were easier. Cygwin! Registry editing! Getting a Microsoft degree just to edit my desktop menus. I didn’t just sit there and install my programs like a good kid and actually wanted to, you know, do things with my computer. And boy did windows hate me for it.
I’m hoping modern IDEs or just having Linux on standby would make Windows simple enough to use.
No problem, I probably shouldn’t immediately use such a weighty topic when I was just trying to be ridiculous to make fun of ridiculousness.
I was replying to someone who said “just goes to show that most innocent people police kill aren’t innocent” or whatever. Because it’s very useful to point out that people did a bad thing when police execute them on the street.
I’m being sarcastic by the way.
Kind of like how most children who are violently beaten by their owners/parents did something wrong. Yes it’s illegal, and it’s over the top, but it’s very useful to point out that beaten children have probably done something bad. It’s so useful, it really informs my judgement.
If you smoke weed you’re more likely to wear converse. It’s aesthetics. When someone says they’re anti abortion I usually see it as aesthetics. They want others to see them as being anti abortion. That’s what they get out of it.
It isn’t a literal belief. Democrats reduce abortions, much better than cons. Being anti abortion should mean voting for Democrats… IF you were still taking things literally. It’s not misinformation or lack of education, it’s misaligned priorities.
They’re just trying to be a tribe and signal allegiance. To have literal beliefs that you live by regardless of “your side” is a completely different game to what they’re playing.
How can Steve ban tiktok if Doug won’t let him mitigate homelessness? Why is Bob talking about housing when Alex is gung-ho on genocide?
Sorry, I meant to ask: how can the government ban tiktok when the government won’t do anything about homelessness? How can the government be proud of mitigating homelessness when the government supports genocide?
Citizens United must be a curse from a Greek god. A funny little jab to highlight our tendency to oversimplify.
You don’t need to prove me wrong on some online forum. Reality will prove me right.
At the very least it would balance out the stream of reports of Israel bombing / shooting yet another journalist / American / medic / humanitarian.
It’s Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein, not sure how popular that series was… The monster was named Deucalion, he was a good persona if I remember right… and he could teleport around the world.
My favorite name he was ever given is Deucalion.
There can’t seriously be respectable, noteworthy people in Russia saying that banning Discord is a mistake because it helps the Russian military. That’s bizzaro world stuff even for them.
Not understanding what a person means and thinking that means they’re a bot? That is reddit shit, I’ll give you that.
Whitlam was a PM who opposed the US and was immediately ousted in a brazen display of “we own you.” Hence, a joke about the man in Slovakia being ousted for opposing NATO aspirations.
The terrorism tweet:
“History is only written with the blood of such people — to tell the stories of those martyrs who made history, built nations and brought about glory. Their blood is the lifeline of our faith until the day of judgment. May you rest in peace.”
Crazy how tame this messaging seems living around Christians / GOP.
A hidden device implanted on our cortex at birth should detonate when we suggest something like “We should let corporations solve global warming.”
If it’s anything like the places I work, they specifically tell you to be very careful about what you wash away.
