Senseless, (edited ) in I'll do it tomorrow I swear

Don’t have a dryer, so the washing machine is my enemy. I just hang stuff to dry until I need to wash again. Having a laundry rack permanently standing in your living room is somewhat strange.

veroxii,

Oh good, our family is not alone.

nobloat, in History go brrrr

I was so disappointed at Jerry Seinfel’a stance on the whole thing though. Which makes this meme ironic

Damn, you good

Virtually all countries have many corpses in their basements.

Define “many”. San Marino? Probably not very many. UK? Oh boy.

Malek061,

San Marino? You count Rome in that?

FedFer,

That’s Vaticano, not San Marino

PolandIsAStateOfMind,
@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

No, San Marino is independent state since 200 years or so (Edit: actually over 700). Sure, a very minor one, but still fit the incredibly sweeping definition of the guy i was answering to. Also why i would count Rome, it’s over 300 km away from it.

I think if you look, you’ll find the bodies. Probably even San Marino, either directly or indirectly.

PolandIsAStateOfMind, (edited )
@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

Undoubtedly they do have some, but the number is not comparable to for example UK. I meant that sweeping statements like above are basically useless, even for a meme. Also this particular usage in this meme definitely sound like “all lives matter”.

How many are killed in the wars and invasions in the past of any country? Germany, Spain, GB, USA, Rusia, Israel, China…since the first Australopithecus discovered that a stick was very useful for smashing the skulls of others. It is inherent in human nature to have a tendency to destroy one’s neighbor, at the command of leaders eager for power and often for childish reasons…

MonkderZweite, (edited )

It’s inherent to be territorial as much as it is to be jealous and greedy. Yet we still build mostly working societies.

It’s just that the current international framework is still stuck in the primitive ‘right of the stronger’ principle.

Blackmist,

Some of us just been collecting for a long time.

It’s honestly impressive how much shit the UK has fucked up over the last millennia.

Don’t see why I should be ashamed of it though. I didn’t do it.

Zerush,

It’s never the people, but their shabby leader and his propagand.

YaksDC, in When it starts before Halloween, it's time for a crusade.

I don’t own a car and had to drive one today. It was like radio station roulette to try and not hear Christmas music.

speaker_hat, (edited ) in History go brrrr

I love history!

…wikipedia.org/…/United_Nations_Partition_Plan_fo…

According to the source above, the Arab leaders used arguments such as: “We will sweep them [the Jews] into the sea.” or “We shall eradicate Zionism.”

Now we can all be ashamed together.

You inserted brackets “[the Jews]”, but the text refers to Zionists. This is not the same. One could be interpreted as anti colonial, while your edits implies it’s against an ethnicity

Kusimulkku,

You inserted brackets “[the Jews]”, but the text refers to Zionists. This is not the same

I mean it could have the same implied or real meaning. Did they mean to imply that they’d drive all Jews to the sea or would some Jews have been allowed to stay?

faintwhenfree,

OP copy pasted from Wikipedia, your point is valid. Just wanted to point out it’s not OP who inserted brackets, someone else is to blame.

iain,

Two nitpicks:

  • that was said by Abdul Rahman Hassan Azzam, who is Egyptian, not Palestinian
  • there’s a huge difference between a threatened expulsion of some colonizers (words) and actual genocide of the indigenous population (actions)
Kusimulkku,

“Well they didn’t manage to do it so it’s fine”

iain,

I mean, there is a big difference between the crimes you commit and the ones you don’t commit.

If we’re going to judge countries based off what politicians of OTHER countries say, we’ll be here all night. Fuck Canada for the shit Trump says, etc.

Kusimulkku, (edited )

We do judge countries based on that what is said and what they do.

iain,

Okay, but then address the point that the guy was Egyptian and not Palestinian?

Kusimulkku,

It’s not like they haven’t expressed the same desire.

iain,

Then post that instead

Kusimulkku,

Post what instead of what?

iain,

Post an example of Palestinian people calling for genocide instead of a some unrelated dude.

I know why people keep quoting this unrelated dud:, it’s to make you think that “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is a call to genocide. It’s not, it’s a call for freedom. Both quotes just use the word “sea”, but are otherwise not related.

faintwhenfree,

But they tried.

KittyCat,

Oh they tried, what do you think would have happened if Israel lost their first war?

iain,

You’ve already made up in your mind that the Palestinians are genicidal, in order to justify their colonization, oppression and murder by the Israelis. You do this for your own peace of mind. You need to do that because if you didn’t, you would see it for what it is, a people fighting for its liberation. You require the Palestinians were all perfect pacifists, going along with their own ethic cleansing and genocide.

spacesweedkid27,

Arab leaders being bad does neither make the Palestinian People bad nor does it make “the west” better.

faintwhenfree,

He never implied that, he said let’s be ashamed “together”.

spacesweedkid27,

Ah ok I didn’t really know what they meant with that.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Sounds kinda centrist…

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

That is scary but also Israel is a Christo-fascist white colonial settler project to establish a base of operations and influence in the strategically important middle east.

It may not be an individual citizen’s responsibility, just like a Canadian citizen isn’t responsible for the 60s Scoop, or an Americans for Manifest Destiny. But no progress can ever be made unless those of us who are settlers acknowledge the sins of the past, and how we perpetuate them today.

So that’s how it happens. I thought I was getting old when I had to look up ‘based’ on urban dictionary.

Thank god for that website, I can't imagine being an aging millennial in 1980 with all the kids talking about "radical" this and "cowabunga" that and not have anything to look up.

“Cowabunga” shouldn’t have been a mystery to them, at least, because it originates from Howdy Doody in 1949.

TimeSquirrel,
@TimeSquirrel@kbin.social avatar

Wow. I totally thought it was just a Ninja Turtles thing. Thanks for that info.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Ninja Turtles got it from 60’s surfer slang (since that’s how Michelangelo speaks) and gave it new life for a few years.

dependencyinjection,

Pretty based of you to admit.

can,

I’m curious, how recently did you have to look it up? For me it feels ancient compared to the likes of “rizz” but that’s probably due to the circles I’ve been in.

comrade19,

Oh no i didn’t know what rizz meant. I had to look it up mid this year. Gg life, im now going downhill for sure :(

someguy3,

Wtf is rizz?

can, (edited )

He got rizz = he’s got game (?)

If that helps. I’ve read here recently it’s short for “charisma”
