it's weird how an outright genocide, surprisingly recognized as such by nearly the entire world as it is happening, would cause people to voluntarily reveal themselves to be just cartoonishly evil.

As always people of Gaza are the most generous

James Woods basically having Disney turn Hades into his personal self-insert character actually makes the parts of Kingdom Hearts where you beat the shit out of him that much more rewarding

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 day ago

Fuck James Woods.

DEATH TO VIDEODROME

LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH

I heard about the wildfires yesterday, and thought: "ain't it the rich people who have homes in that area?"

:)

:( to all the people who aren't rich I'm sorry

There is like 6 fires, but one is a :) fire and the other five are probably :( fires.

[-] hobovision@lemm.ee 54 points 1 day ago

All of the fires are :(

While the palisades fire is showing a lot of very rich folks that their money doesn't make them immune to fire, there are a lot of relatively regular people who were barely hanging on to their homes in a very expensive area who lost everything and could be financially ruined forever.

Don't get me wrong, vanishinlgy few of those in the palisades were poor before the fire. But a lot could be now if they were uninsured or if their insurance fucks them over.

There's a bunch of apartment buildings in the area that burned down too. Families who were protected by rent control lost their apartment and now where do they go?

Your comment reminds me of how hurricane Sandy turned into an opportunity to rezone and gentrify affected neighborhoods in New York. The poor always lose, the rich always win: https://apnews.com/article/superstorm-sandy-disparities-042c69728c10e92837360b8b31704eac

It's not paradise if you can't look over and see the "sinners" in hell eh?

[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Also everyone who worked in a business that burned down probably just lost their job.

I'm sure the :) fire gets prioritized too.

Lots of actors whose work you appreciated lost their homes. I'm not defending rich people, but many of these folks actually earned it, not all inherited or squatted on wealth. Anthony Hopkins, Cary Elwes, John Goodman, Jeff Bridges, Billy Crystal among others lost homes. I'm sure a lot of amazing Hollywood memorabilia went up in flames too.

E: Why the negativity? Just generic hating on rich people with no nuance? I draw the line at when people use their wealth, personally or politically, to put downward pressure on people's wages, benefits, and quality of life, doubly so if they personally benefit from it like getting a bonus for layoffs. I don’t hate on someone winning at life as long as they aren’t keeping others down to win more. If you want to hate on wealth save it for the execs trying to use AI to put these people out of a job. People like Goodman walked the line to support their unions. Show a little flexibility before you throw more torches on the fire.

[-] AhismaMiasma@lemm.ee 1 points 16 hours ago

Okay, you got me on Cary Elwes and Billy Crystal.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

How did you know I liked all of those actors’ work? I feel predictable

That's unfortunate, I liked Oppenheimer. Always sucks to find out someone involved was a total dickweasel.

There's just so many people that work on movies and finance them that there has got to be a 100℅ chance that every great movie has a dickweasle wedged in the process somewhere.

What is the bottom text ranting about? No ceasefire from what? Kill who all?

First I've heard of him being a dick. Adding the name to the pile.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago

Oh he's far worse than this, and has been for at least a decade. He lost his damned mind a while ago.

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 42 points 1 day ago

Really? Even Family Guy has been making fun of his for his racist rants for like 20 years at this point. He’s like famously one of the biggest dipshits in Hollywood

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 24 points 1 day ago

Family Guy talks a lot of smack about a lot of people I have literally never heard of, and would have to look up.
