Hes bonkers-senile enough that he could think to the moon is getting richest of all, send him up with an igloo's full of oxegen and mcwhatevers and let short planning bankrupt his assets moonside. Moon Prison 2024. I do feel sorry though for future generations having to deal with that space detritus...
Yup, if I have to hear my uncle tell me another nutjob conspiracy theory about how Trudeau is promoting LGBTQ politics to mask the vaccinations making us gay, I’m going to lose it.
They aren’t slipping that way … they are being marketed and advertised in that direction. It takes money and funding to convince people to think a certain way … look at all advertising, Coca-Cola, Doritos, Gucci, Ferrari, Ford, Google, Facebook, Amazon … most people easily identify these things because of years of advertising.
Conservative parties and politicians are pretty bland individuals and hardly have that much charisma, especially here in Canada … but when you plaster their face and their voice non stop in video, paper, commercials, TV, internet, radio everywhere all the time … it has an effect on people. Look at all the idiots everywhere that have the ‘Fuck Trudeau’ sign everywhere in shirts, cars, trucks, houses, stickers
It all requires funding and money to maintain all that promotion.
So the majority of people aren’t thinking this way … they are being marketed to think that the majority of people are thinking this way.
The longer the marketing happens … the more people believe it.
There might be a slim chance. But in the words of mid-20th-century writer Robert Anton Wilson,
“Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. We have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. We have never seen a totally sane human being.”
Eventually there has to be one, so try to hold on to that idea.
Unlike the guy the history books call ‘Alexander the Great’. A drunken mass-murdering King who never stopped sharing his misery until the day he died. Some hero!
Almost def. if it was Disneyland, it’s probably about 30 seconds before this person was fired because the mouse doesn’t play when it comes to shit like this.
The Minnie costume looks way cheaper than the ones they use in Disneyland and the background doesn’t look like anywhere in the park, either. My second guess after Hollywood would be Vegas.
cookie clicker is a deceptively simple yet highly addictive incremental idle game that has taken the gaming world by storm. With its charmingly minimalist design and an ever-expanding universe of upgrades and achievements, Cookie Clicker has captured the hearts and cursors of millions of players worldwide.
It concerns me how many young people I see posting on Tiktok’s that mention lobotomy that they themselves want one.
The mental health care system in US, Aus and UK (the main demographics I encounter on social media) that people are joking about wanting to be lobotomised.
These comments will be on documentary clips that explain in detail the horrors of this procedure and the atrocities committed by the local governments and institutions at the time. But kids are still joking about it.
Actually yeah. i’ll guarantee that was it. 14 days ago I was making fun of hexbear users defending russia’s war crimes in the memes /c/ of all places… which is weird that they defend it considering russia is very not-communist anymore.
still sucks since many of the largest communities around things like linux and tech are on .ml
I’m kinda not surprised the FOSS community would end up on a communist instance, I’m actually considering just blocking the entire .ML instance at this point.
I’m so sick of seeing them having a tantrum every time YouTube tries to make them either pay for the service, or watch ads.
I have a feeling it was more of “that was the biggest instance when we all got started here so we all just stayed here”. The prime-mover advantage for lemmy.world and lemmy.ml is pretty severe and it still shows in user counts/activity. It’s just gotten more obvious over time what lemmy.ml admins (and by extension the developers of the platform) really support.
I’m pretty sure if xi Jinping asked dandelions or whatever his name is to chow down on his rice noodle he’ll do it without any hesitation taking one for the team
Okay can someone please point me to a real, physical, existing example of this happening? I’ve got multiple accounts on multiple instances from when the servers I used were less stable and not once on any of them have I ever seen a single person defended Russia or China politically.
Not trying to be divisive it just comes up a lot and at this point feels like a red scare tactic
I haven’t seen it personally, maybe I just run in different circles but I’ve asked to be directed to an example on 3 occasions now and never once has one been provided.
Not saying it isn’t happening, would just like some proof that it’s not just a band wagon
I had about 6 in my inbox at one time, but they’ve all been lost to the winds of fediverse moderation at this point.
A vast majority of instances have defederated from hexbear/lemmygrad/etc by now. So you dont see nearly as much of them outside of the main lemmy.ml communities, and those that do end up outside them ususally get moderated out by local admins.
If you really are curious. Take a scroll through some of the comments on hexbears “dunk tank” like so. See how long you can read before closing the tab out of disgust. Most of them are commenting completely unironically… (That thread is not Russia specific yes but I couldn’t stomach to scroll down that community any farther. It gives you an idea.)
