For some people, if you keep achieving ego death, it just keeps coming back stronger

Yeah. What am I even asking? This is more of the same.

Can you imagine a photo of the Trail of Tears with a cartoon AI filter posted by the government? Fuck.

Same lol. Doesn’t help there’s a line break right at that point (for me on Voyager at least).

Oops I buttdialed top secret information

I wonder if the dog was anxious, like “why are we all running away?” or if it was the greatest day of their life.

It’s funny that this is posted in shitposts and it’s super appropriate

I posted this in another thread but it’s worth posting it here too. This person is obviously not arguing in good faith. Literally everybody knows that’s not the situation. But here this person is, oversimplifying, speaking to anger others, and obfuscating the facts.

Anyway, here’s my comment from the other day:

This is that usual gaslighting rhetoric from the right. Someone reminded of the Sartre quote about anti-semites recently. It’s so applicable to how the right twists facts and makes absurd over-generalizations. It’s the epitome of acting in bad faith.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

I just watched Last of Us (inspired by the game) featuring Pedro Pascal. Looks very similar to Lemmy.

Musk is threatening to sue and conservatives are celebrating it. Now slander / defamation is wrong lmao but when Trump inspired conspiracy theories about Obama’s birth certificate it was ok? Not to mention all the other bullshit Trump throws around. Pathetic.

I lurk the conservative subreddit sometimes. A couple months ago they posted that “I don’t think about you at all” meme about democrats. The funny thing is that 50-75% of their posts, consistently, are about leftists and democrats lol

It is true. There is amazing food in the US.
