He's also from Serbia, whose govt. literally went on more than one ethnic cleansing campaign not too long ago. He tweeted this without irony.

Europeans love to act superior about American racism but get them talking about Jews, Romani, or African migrants and its mask off real quick.

I know Tolkien catches a lot of flack for Dwarves = Jews, but as a Jew I actually like that Tolkien changed dwarves from characitures into a real people with a deeply felt and rooted history in Middle Earth with valid grievances.

The fact that you went with making fun of dead kids in reaction to a joke about food speaks volumes. Getting triggered by an innocuous joke reeks of insecurity. Your country is turning into an irrelevant backwater where people can't even pay for heating and you know it. Sad.

Well, if you are "trapped" in the mall like the post says, anti-venom won't help you. Mambas are *very fast* and their venom is agony. You can easily barricade yourself from a gorilla. Mambas can slither into really small spaces. You might not even see them until it's too late.

I have no idea how anyone could read Tolkien and think this. The whole legindarium is steeped in Thomistic metaphysics. Morality, particularly how The Good fails, is a core feature of all his stories. Like holy shit.

It's mind-boggling how divorced from reality narratives like this are when you actually look at the facts of the case. She repeated literal *lies* in this clip. He did not "cross state lines" with a gun. This is easily googlable on multiple fact-checking sites.

Even if they did manage to take territory, the insurgency would be insane. Floridians alone would make the Mujahideen look restrained.

Definitely feels like he was picking up on the general 'vibe' of how bad antisemitism was getting while crafting the whole legendarium.

People to this day will deny that any of this actually happened and claim Amazon was just trying to silence LeGiTiMaTe CrItIcIsM.

Yeah, literally *everyone* is influenced like this on a daily basis. Not just 18 year old women.
You could use the exact same reasoning to describe why all those dudes watched her vids.

It's not a coincidence there is such a spike in "bisexuality" among the generation that basically lives on social media. It's a way to claim the cache of a "queer" identity without actually having to be queer. Bisexuals exist, but let's not pretend social contagion doesn't.

There's........no people in those places since it's mostly, mountains/farmland/desert? Unless you're going to try and say that all of NK is virtually depopulated except Pyongyang, this is a prime false equivalence. Nice try though.

Rewatching this movie as an adult and realizing how homoerotic they were and then finding out they were based on a real life gay killer duo. 🤣

Pretty important. This shows that Russian operational security is worse than we thought. This is the war equivalent of slipping on a banana peel and then stepping on a rake that hits you in the face.

He wasn't a part of the *actual beating*. How do you not get the difference? You're so desperate to re-center white ppl you're twisting yourself into pretzels.
@Discourse_Stu
And everyone under the age of 40 thinks that this whole conflict happened because a bunch of Jews just woke up one day and decided to be big meanies.

It might be bullshit, but you have to be pretty naive to think that the US doesn't have assets and/or special ops on the ground in Ukraine already. I mean, that's just kind of a given.

Exactly. The *vast* majority of Latin/Hispanic folk don't use it and it's not even how Spanish morphology works. It's such an outsider construct.

"certain family structure developed under late capitalism" If by "late capitalism" you mean "all of human history since forever".

Most of these ridiculous skincare routines wouldn't be necessary if people were eating and drinking right, but that's a conversation people really don't like having because it means making serious lifestyle changes rather just applying some more cream/gel.
@tyler02020202
It's a tragedy that all these 'trads' hate the gays so much because there are so many twinks who want nothing more than to be housewives vacuuming with a glass of wine.

That's a funny way to describe how Arab Nationalists ethnically cleansed all the Jews out of their countries. But I keep forgetting that Arabs have no agency and aren't responsible for any of their actions in this worldview.

It's sad to see so many people romanticize China's response when it is because of their initial authoritarian cover-up that we are in this mess.

They already had Crimea, and the borders in Donetsk and Lugansk haven't really changed at all. They still haven't secured a major city and the Ukrainians have launched some successful counter-offensives. For a military that was supposedly 2nd only to the US, this is a spanking.
@ceIebrians
This. The Silmarillion is my favorite book and I love RoP. I think lore purism is a boring and intellectually lazy way of judging any IP adaptation.
@PplsCityCouncil
Arabs colonized the entire middle east and north Africa and couldn't bare the thought of Jews getting a sliver of land back. That's the "Empire" in the scenario.

Who said their opinion was "official"? He's literally arguing against the forced compliance and cultishness that comes with a lot of "fandom". And he's right.

I am just a provincial Yank but it's really, really wild that this was probably agreed upon by multiple people in multiple offices and they went with it. This is literally something from The Thick of It.
@savagegoodboy
Exactly. Ken is the actual protagonist. He develops the most in the movie. Sorry, but that is the film Greta Gerwig made. ::shoulder shrug::
@fabeljolie
Guadagnino would actually make an interesting movie about an interesting person rather than some safe, neutered, air-brushed, Disney +, Pepsi Presents Feminist Empowerment™ narrative. It would be an honor to have a director of his caliber do her biopic.

@indiedarlinmiya
The point she was making is that most people think high profile actors *can* just stop working for 6 months to a year and be fine, which isn't true, and she listed the reasons why. She was explicitly comparing herself to bigger stars who could do that.

Thats not a political rally, its a song contest with mediocre pop songs from mediocre singers established because 80 years ago Europeans ripped each other apart for dumb reasons and then the US had to step in and clean up the mess. Common Eurocel L.

This is basically the case with a lot of ancient religious sites. Notre Dame was literally built on top of a Temple to Jupiter. Even the Parthenon was converted into a church at one point.
