Tinder for the firepit of history.

ID’d a guy who was born precisely on 9/11/2001 today at work. I just. I could hardly contain myself.

I’ve taken to calling it (voting for the Other Guy) harm redirection. That is perhaps still too charitable a take.

If genuinely fake…

why do mfers do this we have the fucking truth on our side already! COME ON.

If real, then I echo what everyone else says. Shit is fucked.

Too many folk here in Amerika “know” more about what’s happening in Ukraine than what’s happening in their own damn neighborhoods.

An addict shoots up. A mugger creates a victim. A cop shoots a black child. A homeless man freezes to death. A drunk beats his wife. Everyone starves and struggles against the tremendous weight of debt. Buildings and streets continue to erode ever further, unmolested by the tyranny of public investment. All within the shadow of billowing Ukrainian and Amerikan flags planted on some “apolitical” petit-bourgeois fucker’s perfectly mowed lawn. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

From my own limited understanding, you have captured much of its essence wonderfully.

Russians are getting… whatever they get,

Buddy, Russia is blowing up previously never-exploded Britbong tanks and basically disassembling NATO artillery before it even launches, often simply by having weapons that work.

The Transatlantic Empire’s most effective weapons have proven, like always, to be terrorism and targeted political assassinations. The U.S. is as paper a fucking tiger now as it was when chairman Mao said it.

tw: gr**ming

We have something known as “WIC” (Women, Infants and Children) that you gotta apply for and it barely covers shit. You gotta be making less than poverty wages as well.

In my cashier job, you would not believe how often I’ve had to refuse the sale on shit like baby formula and juice because WIC seemingly randomly decided to stop covering it. This week, they might cover juice concentrate. Next week, they may only cover juice and not concentrate. Who knows!

In Gaddafi’s Libya, they paid women who had children.

Much of the reason it’s taken me so long is down to a combination of poor performance and constantly, constantly rerolling characters because something else seems so interesting at the moment. Oo, I’ve read Drow are treated very differently! How will the tiefling/druid conflict resolve in the face of a tiefling druid? I think I’ll try Wyll’s story! What if Karlach and Shadowheart fell in love? Bah! There is simply so much to enjoy.

Sadly for him we were too fueled with beer and Soviet revanchism so we started to mock him with stupid pubertat jokes like offering the donation of icepick.

simply one of the best things I’ve ever read

I have 104 hours in BG3 and have not yet passed Act I LOL

Not to say the endings aren’t underdeveloped, you are almost certainly right there, I am just unsure if I will even see them before they’re updated!

40 hours a week here. Pay my own bills. Agree entirely with OP. Stalin was, in fact, a very good man, and partially responsible for the liberation of Europe from Nazi occupation. The ideological progeny of those same Nazis like yourself, NATO, and the EU will never forgive him for it, nor the millions of brave Red Army soldiers and Soviet civilians who fought, struggled and died against them.

Nooo my liberal moral absolutism noooo

Wikipedia links? Really?

I’d get it if you came in like: buh whaddaboud diss?

But nah, you accused us of worshipping these men and compared us to neonazis (btw the USSR ended the fucking holocaust and made antisemitism punishable by death).

Do some self-reflection. You do not know what you are talking about in the slightest, and we do.

The last one is utterly jaw-dropping, not necessarily because I’m surprised Churchill said it, but how this sentiment has hardly suffered a dent in the contemporary “western” zeitgeist.

Replace a few words, trade “Aryan” for “European”, “civilized” for “developed”, and “barbaric” for “authoritarian”… boom, you’ve got a chart-topping WaPo OpEd.

I’ve unironically thought about immigrating almost entirely because of their positive relationship with the DPRK lol.

What’s the difference?

“Thank you for so readily categorizing yourself as a terrorist organization and saving us the trouble.”
