Brb, double clicking ‘Netscape Navigator’ to go on ‘Ask Jeeves’ to look up what this “PewDiePie” is

Wait do you unironically believe that God is real, and it created modern nation states and borders? And the divine destiny of some countries’ entire existence, the purpose of every person born into the country, is to defend against evil, something that was also created by God??

This is unhinged. “God put a population of people here for the sole purpose of dying in a struggle against some other evil people that God also created, for the benefit of the rest of Europe, which God created to just chill out and not have to deal with this. This is in no way, shape or form mentioned in our holy scriptures, btw. In fact they don’t mention us at all, despite creating us for the sole purpose of opposing imperialism, because the scriptures were too busy condemning pork, gay people and mixed fabrics”

I get wanting to oppose Putin, that makes sense. Resisting imperialism? Yeah, makes sense too. “God created us solely to suffer for the benefit of some other people elsewhere in the world”? You lost me there champ.

KIROV REPORTING

PC towers that light up like a warehouse rave. I don’t need to signal to Rohan that my house calls for aid. It’s why I’ve stuck with a Fractal Design for the past 7 years.

The fancy light bullshit should be add-ons for people who want it, not baked in for everyone who don’t. And you just know they’re slapping a 200% premium on those shitty lights into the cost of the tower.

If you’re a pro-Israel viewer, there’s one country you can vote for

If you’re an anti-Israel viewer, there’s like 25 countries you can vote for, they’re not organized to put their votes behind any particular country.

They don’t have ranked choice voting in a song contest.

What goes down must come up, apparently

Here in China we have 鸡精

The bus and metro passes are literally transferrable because they’re just a token not tied to any ID. Also they accept cash, and you can buy passes at a kiosk.

I have personally even purchased a metro ticket for another person because we were going somewhere together and they left theirs at home. Within the last 2 weeks.

You have been lied to. There are no WMDs in Iraq, MSG isn’t toxic, and Napoleon wasn’t short either, if you just blatantly swallow everything you see.

I live in China. You put ¥2 into the slot and you get on. You can be wearing a fully balaclava, a face mask, or nothing. No-ones running ID on you to make sure your magical score is high enough before you are allowed to get on. You can get a transit token so you can tap on if you’re cashless. They’re sold without ID checks, foreigners can get them without speaking a word of Mandarin.

You have been lied to and now you’re repeating those lies on the internet without even getting paid.

I literally live in China. The scores apply to businessmen and not the average citizen. China isn’t North Sentinel Island, you can literally come here.

When they reference Xi negatively they use Palpatine or some literary villain as a comparison. Using a yellow bear beloved by most of the world seems counter productive. Imagine if people compared Hitler to Charlie Chaplain due to likeness and not, say, Satan.

Not if they’re foreign enough

I don’t trust the “benevolent superhero” trope because realistically, you may get some Batmen, you’d get twice as many Banes and then a statistically small but present number of Jokers. That’s not even accounting for a Freeze style situation where someone is committing crimes to fund a relatively justifiable cause and your Ivy’s who are doing a net positive for the world but the methods are technically illegal.

“stopantisemitism”

This group is so antisemitic they snubbed Norm Finkelstein. Surely the author(s) of this list should be on this list for such an antisemitic act.

Trump’s not even bad by republican standards, he’s just vulgar and baffoonish. Replace him with Jeb! or Ron DeSantis or your garden variety Republican and you’d get the same defunding, same deregulation and same enshittification as him, just more subtle.

Come back when he’s killed a million Iraqi civilians over fictional WMDs or getting several million people addicted then dead over opioids by deregulating prescription.

He didn’t commit war crimes in Vietnam, spill over to Laos and Cambodia. Come back when he pardons the perpetrators of My Lai. Come back when he interns Japanese and nukes civilians. Come back when he Manifests Destiny.

Top 5 my ass

Imagining a Star Wars style situation where she gets her apprentice to do the assassing but the apprentice hires a bounty hunter and the bounty hunter hires an assassin and the assassin uses a robot who uses some venomous bugs

Taiwan and Palestine flag

??? Have you met the average Taiwanese?

Israel came out on top, with 35.1 percent of respondents expressing sympathy; 14.8 percent sympathizing with Palestine; 9.8 percent sympathizing with neither; 6.8 percent sympathizing with both; and 33.6 percent expressing no opinion.

Both leading political parties are pro Israel, as have the last half dozen presidents.

Don’t get me started on the average Ukrainian.

69% of Ukrainians side with Israel, 1% with Palestine and 30% both or neither)

This is a win for brain worms in every still body of water in the US.

1. Parasite finds host, alters host behaviour

2. Host seeks positions of power and influence urging other potential hosts to embrace risky behaviours to the benefit of brain worms

3. Host successfully gains power <-You are here

4. Host mandates stale pond water for all citizens

Flawless brain worm victory.
