“EU considers following modern Nazi policy”

SNAKE?!

You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.

I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

We are not the same.

“Dutch government does X”

“It’s them fuckin Americans again”

They might.

Personally I mean the entire country goes back to pre-1948 borders.

No needle in the syringe, apparently.

Still a good way to get bodyslammed into a wall. I’m not waiting to see if there’s a needle or not.

I love seeing the “FRENCH GOVERNMENT COLLAPSES” headlines.

Like… A governmental collapse and this gestures broadly at France are two VERY different things.

And if I’m being honest, when I first saw the headline I wondered if they floated raising the retirement age again and got rioted into a burned down parliament.

France will be okay, they have protocols for this sort of thing.

… Right? I don’t know nearly as much about the current French government as I do pre-napoleonic France. Am dum American.

has a left-wing bias

So does reality.

But some people are, perplexingly, still concerned with “being fair”.

People like this want you conflate “the country of Israel” with “all ethnic/religious Jewish people everywhere”

It allows them to more easily call people antisemitic when you criticize the Israeli government.

Even IF Israeli intelligence hadn’t ignored reports of potential attacks, and even IF they hadn’t intentionally lowered security in order to make potential attacks worse, all in order to give them and excuse to do the thing they already wanted to do, committing genocide in response is a FULL FUCKING STOP “no”

m not American. The presence of fascists in US politics has been a commonly accepted truth in anybody anywhere left of demochristians for half a century.

I am an American and idk where this idea comes from because I’ve been noticing a decline at least since high school political science forced me to pay attention for the first time. It’s been hard not to notice the slope getting steeper every day.

Lol.

LMAO, even.

This particular downslope has been around for 20+ years, and it’s been arguably more like 50 years.

Hell, the only reason we have the small amount of gun control we do is because Regan was afraid of black people owning guns.

Fascism has been festering for a long time, most people only notice now because it’s finally affecting them.

Weird, I was literally just thinking about FLoB last week, and meant to see if he ever got there.

My wife asked what I was doing, so that side tracked me into explaining the Far Lands, and we ended up playing Minecraft for the night.

I honestly expected it to take WAY longer to get there.

When you tell a funny story from your childhood but instead of laughing, your friend hugs you and says “I’m so sorry you went through that” :

Yeah I got mildly excited when I read the title, and now I’m just mildly irritated.

Good for pc players though, it’s something!

I’m learning a bit of sign language since my wife will likely be fully deaf inside 10 years, and one day we were in a food court and I saw two people arguing in ASL.

One of them started getting larger and more abrupt with their movements and the other interrupted to sign “Don’t yell at me.”

I wasn’t paying enough attention to know what they were arguing about, but it made me giggle a bit at the phrasing.

Ooh, sweet! A middle eastern country that Americans can name is making improvements!

Military Industrial Complex: absolutely fucking not

It’s crazy how quickly things can improve when global superpowers aren’t fucking carpet bombing them.

It’s “Jesus take the WHEEL” not “Jesus take the YOKE”

BiHnuch, please

Their ashes will pave the road to Gre’thor. The cowardly and the damned will tread upon them for an eternity of suffering.

I don’t trust an ICE thug to know the difference between night and day, let alone different asians/pacific islanders.

The ONLY Asians I’d expect them to be able to identify are russians.
