I don’t think they procreate. If they were interested in continuing humanity they wouldn’t be so strict about their philosophy. They would “pick the fucking apple” as Carol puts it. It’s a feature, not a bug.

IMO all they want is enough time and bodies to send a new signal before humanity goes extinct.

Whether it’s a prelude to invasion or just a rogue virus still trying to spread itself is anyone’s guess.

Wow, he is abusive to women?! Cancel this man.

In unrelated news I’ve been living under a rock my entire adult life and I’ve been in a coma since 2015.

Trump just seems to repeat the thoughts of the last person he spoke to that actually got through to him somehow. Why Putin seems to be so good at doing that is anyone’s guess.

In any case, this will continue until he meets some European leaders again. I think the person who flipped him last time seems to have been King Charles?

But this all just shows it doesn’t even matter. As Orwell said:

“The enemy is the gramophone mind, whether or not one agrees with the record that is being played at the moment.”

He is too dumb to do anything else. The record will be changed and changed back again and again.

Strongly recommended if you like deduction/puzzle-y games. Wish I could play it again for the first time

British here. You’re right. It’s the culmination of decades of intentional misinformation and stoking the fears of the racist and stupid. Appealing to the politicians spreading this (e.g. Farage) is useless. Appealing to the public is useless.

I heard a story about a friend of a friend who thought that one million immigrants entered Britain every day. As in, the population would literally double in two months if this was true. But not only did he not realise that, he repeated the “fact” to other people.

Obviously a lot of us are fine. But Reform is leading in the polls and people believe shit like that so the reality is most of us are not.

I saw! Great news.

Except this

I’m a totem loser so I will have to think of some way to do it with my dash, haha

I have to find some way to do this in my current campaign. I’m a barbarian though so as a bonus action might be a stretch

And this from the press release:

In its long history, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has honoured brave women and men who have stood up to repression, who have carried the hope of freedom in prison cells, on the streets and in public squares, and who have shown by their actions that peaceful resistance can change the world. […]

When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist. Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.

I will also accept bap.

We can come back to this comment in a few days. Israel will find some “issue” with it and derail the process.

I hope I’m wrong.

It’s breadcake. Problem solved. No further discussion necessary

Yes, but people also misuse the idea that’s it’s misused to shut people up.

E.g.: hey maybe we shouldn’t starve children to death?

Zionist: wow why do you only criticise Israel like this, you anti-semite!

Point goes unanswered, OP probably feels the need to defend themselves instead of pursuing their valid point.

Alternatively…

Racist: some groups are just not compatible with western culture

Someone: you can’t make assumptions about massive groups of people. Many people come to the west because they don’t agree with their culture. To assume everyone from one place is the same is racist.

Racist: wow there you go! Don’t engage just scream “racist” at everyone you don’t like.

Again, point goes unanswered. The person probably feels the need to defend this accusation again

What I saw a lot of on Lemmy was democrat supporters and voters insisting that people will just hold their nose and vote for Harris and accusing anybody angry about the ongoing genocide of either supporting Trump or playing into the hands of Russia.

Any statement posted on Lemmy is directed at the voters, not the leadership, and assuming otherwise is arguing in bad faith.

Did I do that? Very confused.

The voters had the opportunity to stop Trump. They didn’t.

Ah yes, it’s all the voters’ fault.

If only the DNC had any power at all in this situation or ability to influence the actions of voters…

Okay, so I would be equally justified in saying: Liberals, this is what you get when you assume people must vote for you.

THANK YOU. This far down the road and they’re still ignoring this aspect.

Yes protest voters choosing to make things worse for Palestine and everyone in the US is stupid.

AND liberals and especially the party leadership made a huge miscalculation in assuming everyone would vote for “not Trump.”

Both contributed to the loss. Which is more to blame? There’s a discussion to be had there but imo the overall electoral strategy is a much bigger issue than a handful of stupid people who didn’t vote or voted Trump over this one particular issue

Mohammed, according to his doctor, had pre-existing health problems affecting his brain and his muscle development.

I love how this pre-existing condition is important enough to issue a correction about but mysteriously not enough to give us the fucking name of.

It’s really funny how all this denial is focused on the existence of a concrete “list.” What everybody means, and what anyone honest knows, is that the request is for the release of a list of the people who went to the Epstein island and were associated with the convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein himself.

If you can convict Maxwell, there is evidence of what happened. Whether or not someone has already written a list is completely irrelevant.

There are exactly two types of people who would deny this:

1. Die hard, believe-anything-Trump-is-saying-today, MAGA faithful
2. paedophiles or people otherwise on the list

I wonder which one Stephen King is…

Yeah absolutely! My frustration is more that everyone chose to cede this rhetorical ground to them because of their already-obvious lies. It kind of implies it would be bad if some weren’t Jewish

U.N. experts, jurists, genocide scholars including numerous Jews in Israel and around the world, national leaders, and human rights groups including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Jewish Voice for Peace, and CodePink are among those accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza.

Who was this part for?

“Ah yes I was not convinced by the genocide scholars, but you’re telling me some of them are Jewish? Then it must be true.”

Obviously such a person does not exist, but the Zionist mob has everyone so god damn afraid we’ve started sticking yellow stars to people willingly.

Like I get it - why give them the ammunition - but also fuck this shit.
