You should have respect for human life. Regardless of whether he intentionally tried to help Trump, the actions taken against him are completely unjustified and would be considered a war crime if done against a prisoner of war.
So you think it’s okay for somebody to be tortured if they’re on the wrong side of the political aisle?
What has he done that you perceive as right wing? As far as I’ve seen, he’s always been anti-establishment and pro-transparency, two things I would not associate with right wing ideologies.
Yoko? Oh, no. It’s Yoku’s Island Express, and it’s fantastic.
I don’t like to torture myself (or see others tortured) anymore, but in my youth, in the early days of the Internet, when that kinda shit was easier to find and harder to avoid, yeah, morbid curiosity led me to watching a few gore videos.
It left me desensitized for a long while, but I’m happy to say that I felt quite disgusted last time I saw a video like that a few years ago.
not to rain on your parade but uuuh, this is patient gamers
What’s your point? The game is over 20 years old, and there’s no rule against simply mentioning an upcoming remake.
Nobody likes unnecessary gatekeeping.
One of my top 3 JRPGs, Star Ocean: The Second Story, has a remake coming out early November. In the beginning of the game, you get the choice to play as one of the main characters, a male or a female, each of whom has their own story arc and exclusive party members that can be found during the playthrough.
When I was a kid, Nightmare Before Christmas. Must’ve convinced my parents to take me to see it at least eight times. I’ve watched it at least once every year since then, and it stayed my favorite movie for most of my life, until Everything Everywhere All at Once finally usurped it almost 30 years later. Saw that in theaters four times.
Oh, and Lord of the Rings. Saw all three in theaters at least three times each. And, for some reason, Superbad. Went to five showings of that.
Temba, his arms wide.
You don’t. The “room for abuse” is exactly what disinformation peddlers want to have codified.
After all, with enough money, it’d be easy for bad actors to get their agents into “independent” information veracity panels.
The only way I can think of to reliably stop disinformation is to reduce or eliminate society’s dependence on money. Otherwise, money will always talk, and everybody has their price.
If someone tells you they don’t care about pronoun usage, believe them. I’m nonbinary and don’t care what pronoun people use for me, because I identify as both male and female. Most people default to “he” for me because of my beard, but others use “they” because of my proclivity for wearing skirts, nail polish, and lipstick. Rarely I’ll have someone use “she” (or I’ll use it myself), but ultimately, I’m just a person who exists outside of the gender spectrum (or right in the middle), and pronouns are just a grammatical tool to save time, so I prefer that people use whatever comes most naturally to them.
Yesterday, while watching Beastars on Netflix, I shed some tears. Show’s surprisingly good, despite its furry leanings.
But the last time I sobbed was during the finale of the Last of Us show. As a dad, that penultimate scene wrecked me emotionally.

That was truly beautiful. Before coming out as nonbinary, I felt more that something was missing, not the dysphoria that something was wrong. But after reading this, I feel I can better empathize with dysphoria. Thank you for sharing this, really. 💖
Just because you’re not a professional poet doesn’t mean you aren’t every bit as good as one. Please don’t put yourself down. Don’t let yourself become arrogant, but I believe it’s important to accept that you can really move people with your words.
I hope you don’t mind if I share this with a few of my trans friends who aren’t on Lemmy. 🫶
Yeah, thrift stores definitely seem like my best bet.
But they all close so early! I work 9-6, and every one near me is closed by 7. Guess I oughta put in a time off request and make a day of it.
Thank you for the advice! 🫶
He’s a bit of both, I’d say.
I agree completely, but on the surface, those are the three biggest modern contributors.
A lot of people’s “sincerely held” beliefs are only skin-deep, so surface-level agitators and misinformation peddlers do have a lot of power in our society. If they ceased to exist, I suspect a lot of the hatred and vitriol their followers spew would cease, as well - assuming an equally-evil replacement didn’t immediately rise.
A lot of people are stuck in their stale echo chambers, and just getting a breath of fresh air could do them wonders.
Fair. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I just wanted to be a positive voice among all this negativity and cynicism.
True. He’s more a symptom than a cause. He certainly isn’t helping.
What’s the point of this article? That even conservatives can see that Palestine is being victimized? Is it trying to cast doubt on the fact that Israel is committing genocide by associating the idea with undesirables?
