I don’t think it driven by hate watching but people constantly talking about something still does a lot of free advertisement. I would never have heard of Velma if it wasn’t because of people losing their shit online about it.

When it comes to rings of power I doubt that first season success was any part of future seasons being green lit, it is far too big of an investment to just throw out.

Rooks. They’re the right blend of creepy/ugly/cute.

I used to be bored at work as I had too much downtime, so I decided to just accept more duties. Was nice to be able to solve problems learn new things and it made the time go faster. But you just keep getting more and more work and responsibilities heaped on you for doing a good job, and absolutely nobody notices it until you start falling apart. Then all of a sudden people you’ve never heard of are ‘concerned’ about you. At this point I am burnt out and do even less work than when I was bored, but the difference is that it also drains me.

The lesson is to never try to work at or around full capacity. Don’t fall into the trap of being bored and deciding to take on more work.

One of my pastimes as an incredibly lonely teenager was just observing jackdaws, crows and magpies. You can tell that they actually think before acting which is fascinating.

Also jackdaws have very pretty eyes.

Looking at some of the cope about them not being Nazis from the Wikipedia citations.

No legionnaire has ever been part of the German National Socialist Workers’ Party.

Well then, I guess they simply can’t be nazis.

This is a thread of big lies that people believe.

Colonialism was a civilising mission.

Neoliberalism has also broken people’s brains to believe that nothing better is possible and anyone promising something other than managed decline or being vindictive against an outgroup is a charlatan.

We need some economist to come out and say everyone is wrong and things are great actually, the plebs haven’t even considered the line going up.

The true signifier of a good economy is increased exploitation after all.

How does this favour fast fashion?

People who are unable to smoothly merge or use slip roads without slowing down 500m before even starting to turn off should have their licenses revoked unless they take a driving course to correct their behaviour.

People who zigzag should just be put in a gulag however. Scum of the earth.

But this is what Xi is proposing as the permanent lasting solution.

“I have emphasised on many occasions that the only viable way to break the cycle of Palestinian-Israeli conflict lies in a two-state solution, in the restoration of the legitimate national rights of Palestine, and in the establishment of an independent state of Palestine,” Xi said.

I’d say the Oslo accords were the last dividing point where anything looking like a two state solution without essentially dismantling Israel was realistic. But they assassinated the PM who was cooperating in the effort and the hard line Zionists have been in charge since.

Talking about a temporary two state solution is the same as going back to the pre October 7th status quo. Israel isn’t going to end their current course unless forced to by outside forces.

They broke out their special masturbation room rebuke flags to deny it.

Was just riffing on the idea that the people in the picture would be involved in any way with the statements put forward by the Swedish ambassador to Poland.

A fascinating case study in how a lot of the people yelling at succdems in the west for proposing a two state solution as liberalism will turn themselves into pretzels to justify that it is actually great when it is Xi.

The only way to end hostilities is to dismantle the zionist entity. If they were willing to accept a two state solution that would have been a reality decades ago, but further settlements are necessary for their ideology.

Nah, it was these three children and their mum that denied it.

Shouldn’t they be stanning the people who Finland executed in the interwar period instead of WW2 Finland then?

The true finns are the mask off version of the Sweden Democrats, why would they choose the non-fat version?

People point out that Churchill was against Hitler ‘from the beginning’ as some great moral stance when the reason was that he was a German imperialist and the Anglos didn’t want anyone else at the table.

Opinions on Churchill is a great litmus test for anyone who is ‘into’ WW2. Your average Joe will only have seen the hagiographies, but you don’t have to scratch further than millimetres under the surface to find this kind of shit.

I used to listen to ‘historiepodden’ and was annoyed at some of the libbery and such, but not a lot of history podcasts that focus on Swedish history around. But I had to drop it after one of the hosts went on a rant about how great an injustice it was that the Brits voted Churchill out of office as he was such a great man.

8 out of a total of 165 comments remain.

Went and checked the lemmy.ml version of the thread, and they sure weren’t lying about the shitlibs.

You see, the Russians are the reason that they were forced to (volunteered) to ethnically cleanse Jews and Poles. If Stalin hadn’t eaten all the grain with his big spoon this would simply have been a proud Ukrainian Patriot.

Had someone break a front window of my work vehicle to steal the instruction manual. Have no idea why they didn’t just smash the back windows and go for the tools instead.

Wasn’t too much of an issue other than cleaning up the glass as it was going into the body shop anyways, but it was confusing. Another confusing thing is that there was a Bugatti in the same parking lot, and they went for the banged up work vehicle instead.
