I guess we got tired of hating on Skyler White and Jenny from Forrest Gump so we're spinning the wheel and it turned up MJ from two Spidermans ago.

These ghouls made us all afraid to call an ambulance; they're the real terrorists.

One of the biggest Christian Zionists, John Hagee, preaches that God sent Hitler to push the Jews to establish Israel. The relationship between the Christian right and Zionism is always going to be "it's complicated" at best.

Theodor Herzl (the founder of Zionism), said that antisemites and antisemite countries were going to be Israel's greatest allies and supporters. He understood that to the Western bigot, a Jew moving away from North America and Europe was already a win. Double plus good if that Jew then murders an Arab.

The point of sanctions is not to deny a country access to products. That would be impossible. The idea is that acquiring sanctioned goods is full of friction and expense.

Smugglers don't offer 2day shipping or easy returns. It's also ironically a good thing to see Western tech in Russian weapons because it implies that they can't produce the tech themselves or buy it off China.

Everything special about this man was true when he still had an umbilical chord.

He and Trump are what happens to generational wealth. You have clever criminals like Trump's dad and Grandad, and Joseph Kennedy, only for three generations to pass and your left with stupid criminals.

I think that the Trump and Kennedy names belong next to each other. Even if it does ruin the opera for rich cunts.

A capitalist food supply is made for profit. If the food cannot be profitable, then it it worthless and discarded. Now apply this to housing, education, the justice system, and healthcare and you start to understand our situation.

Blood Meridian (McCarthy) is the only book I finished, turned to the first page and read again immediately because I didn't feel like I got it the first time.

Confederacy of Dunces (Toole) has some of the most unique characters I've ever read. The story of how it got published and won a Pulitzer is almost as crazy as the plot.

There is no Antimemetics division (qntm) is rather derivative of the "SCP Foundation" weblore, but it drills down so hard on the idea of creatures that consume, steal, or are powered by human memory that the plot will bend your mind and delight your imagination. Best science fiction I read in forever.

Online debate is fun. I don't care if it falls short of solving the worlds problems.

 

I'm in the bottom half of Appalachia, if it's a regional thing.

 
 
 
 

All anyone cares about is which powerful man gets embarrassed. And I recon it's more likely that Maxwell will get out early than any predator gets jail.

There were HUNDREDS of victims; it went on for decades; and nobody gives a tiny shit. Have you heard anybody propose a law, a task force, even a blue ribbon commission to find out how this happened or make sure nobody does this again? Are their any more resources for victims because of this?

Our society accepts that men of wealth are entitled to abuse people. And sexual abuse is all in the game. Because at the end of the day our legal system is constructed to protect these people from the rabble, not hold them to account.

A pedophile is political designation to strip rights, dignity, and legitimacy from enemies. Children being harmed is beside the point.

I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don't do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day's worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it'll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.
