I'm guessing the faces many people make and put on the picture used for their social media videos looking like they just shit their pants or ate a lemon are going to continue to get more stupid until it's just a pair of giant eyes and a sphincter

A guy walks over to his friend's friend's house and tells him to pay up or else. The reasonable response would be to spit in his face and tell him to get bent.

Trump's policy decisions killed those people in Texas & Epstein helped him and other sick rich monsters rape kids

If the only thing Cain has to whine about in 2025 is denying Superman's leftist origins written by depression era immigrants, he's really got nothing to complain about or is trying to distract from some bullshit or sell something

Reminds me of this for some reason

Watson Heston's Two Ways To Go from 1896 depicting a literal road representing the freethought road vs the orthodox route

No shit, people want cheap, reliable transport and workers would want to build them, build and work on replacement parts, build batteries, etc. The only people supported by blocking BYD in the US are executives, shareholders, and the politicians they bought.

The winter of our malcontents

I wish the people making these decisions had even once read Steinbeck, or any book without pictures

With frequent mass school shootings I would think the only defensible position would be to be for as much gun restrictions as possible, otherwise you'd have to defend a necessary condition to allowing mass shootings to continue.

Absent that condition I think people should be allowed to do what they want without fucking up everybody else.

Well I guess we now know what kind of idiot starts their manifesto with abandoning any form of morality

 

The question was raised in a recent .world news article comment https://lemmy.world/post/25766196

 

Been listening to a few lately, a few John Carpenter's, Mayhem was pretty out there, looking for more that are interesting or wildly off topic or entertaining.

 

"In these times of darkness and hopelessness, we wish to share a strong message of solidarity and recognition to those Palestinian journalists who are covering this crisis in such dramatic circumstances. As humanity, we have a huge debt to their courage and commitment to freedom of expression," said Mauricio Weibel, Chair of the International Jury of Media Professionals.

 

Just trying to live with as little advertising as possible and curious what tips or tricks the community has aside from moving out to a cabin in the woods.

I can't really get away from road side advertising for now. Public sporting events are completely infected, and for the ads I am forced to see I try to make a conscious effort not to buy their goods or services. I won't subscribe to a streaming service if they have a sub+ad tier, if they're separate free with ads or sub no ads I'll support it.

Not really for any moral stance, but ad blockers are good at avoiding malware and some services are basically broken if you have to wait for an ad network, and I just feel mentally healthier in general without the extra propaganda.
