8·4 days agoThe initiative was first proposed by Charlie Weimers, an MEP from the right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), as a symbolic measure “to declare that our right to freedom of speech cannot be extinguished,”
Well no, right to free speech isn’t curbed here. The people are just reserving their right to kill off hypocritical dogwhistling would-be fascists.

Btw Ali G came up nice. As in Sacha wasn’t left to be defined by Ali, went on to become Borat (which was also like the 20 years ago), has done some seriously good drama shows and now is looking like this:

Not really. Just look up the some slang words from 2000’s you’ve never heard of but what everyone in my generation would’ve been constantly using.
Ofc some of them are still around, but most aren’t.
Yup
Phrase what’s cooking? “what’s up, what’s going on” is attested by 1942. To cook with gas “do well, act or think correctly” is 1930s jive talk.
The expression “NOW YOU’RE COOKING WITH GAS” has bobbed up again — this time as a front page streamer on the Roper Ranger, and as the banner line in the current advertising series of the Nashville (Tenn.) Gas and Heating Company, cleverly tying gas cooking to local food products and restaurants. “Now you’re cooking with gas” literally took the gas industry by the ears around December 1939 — Remember? — when it flashed forth in brilliant repartee from the radio programs of the Maxwell Coffee Hour, Jack Benny, Chase and Sanborn, Johnson Wax, Bob Hope and sundry others.

Yeah it’s kinda annoying that the “real things” happening this world all have to be treated that way.
Like on a tangent, Trump lies incessantly, we know it. But… we still pretend like that’s going to have any repercussions for him, just because lies often (but not that often) do in our every day lives. You can’t just make deals with businesses and then tell them to fuck off. That’s a rich people prerogative.
It’s just so annoying that the “highest class” of geopolitical discussion is "well i can’t actually be sure that smelly guy in the elevator with us is the one who farted, even though there was only two of us in there, but like, he’d get mad if I told him straight up and people would question me probably so I’ll just probably not say anything. "
Or even if one did say “yo dude stop farting” the farter would just keep shitting his pants out loud while saying “idk what you’re talking about, fake news”. And then there’d be a rush of tankies yelling at you about how it isn’t actually that smelly at all and no-one can be sure that it wasn’t actually me who’s shitting my pants, even when the shit is leaking out from the other guy’s pant leg, pooling by his shoe.
And then when you speak up against it you’re put down as “being too sensitive. That’s just how things are”

12·10 days agoCan you morally take part in capitalism?
No.
Can you morally take part in (moral) market economies? Sure.
So then it’s just about where to draw the line.
Cameras? Hamas.

I respect any Russian choosing to leave Putlerism behind. Hopefully they are.
If I had dollar for every time I read about how “Russian propaganda doesn’t exist btw (also reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias)” or something along those lines, I’d be a rich man.
If you’re a bad actor, ofc you’re gonna gravitate towards platforms without a centralised authority who could stop you from spreading your bullshit.
But you already know this. ;>

I think the earlier guy was asking if he’s ever left the US because “travel widens the mind”, but when people like that leave the country, they don’t even really need to “leave the country”. A private plane, constantly driven by his own people, eating his own food, etc etc etc.
Like Trump can go anywhere in the world and still not leave his cosy little McD and Fox&Friends bubble.
