  • I’m kind of annoyed that the labor union sponsored strike last Friday which was two weeks in the making got almost no air, but was extremely successful. And now a student strike at the U of M with very little momentum with labor unions is getting national attention.

    I know that one is the cause of the other, but it sure makes it feel like this next strike is going to fall flat on its face and rob the whole tactic of its power. I really want to be wrong, and want nothing but for this to work, but you really need buy-in in order to shutdown businesses and get the actual impact you need.

    10% of labor striking across all industries will be impactful, but 10% of businesses closing due to a strike is outright devastating. And without labor union buy-in, I don’t think the latter is likely.



  • I’ve watched that video so many times, I don’t want to do it again, but I’m pretty sure this is accurate. Grey coat removes the gun from Alex, and as he’s walking away there’s a muzzle flash and the first shot can be heard. Then the rest of the shots all come a second or so later. The angle from the street where you can see Grey coat run away has the clearest view of it.

    Oh and it wasn’t an accident. Motherfucker had gun training, he put his finger inside the trigger guard, he intended to discharge that weapon. You don’t get an oopsie poopsie for that.







  • Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd

    Edit: special interest rant, it’s actually very interesting how they got these two to interact on screen because Rita is from the Japanese show (Super Sentai) and Zedd was an addition solely for the US version (they used a double for Rita while the voice actor continued to dub over her in post)



  • I’m not here to debate you. I’m here to let you know that no one fucking wants you and this shit you dumped here on lemmy. You wanna get your knob slobbed cause you can parrot some pseudointellectual garbage you picked up from a grifter that told you your intuition on a subject that neither of you know anything about was correct and perfect? Well LLMs and reddit exist, so just go there and get the fuck out of here.

    You wanna be a grown-up and actually learn about shit instead of giving yourself a participation trophy in smarts that no one respects? Learn shit so you’re beyond a “third-grader in white suburbia” level of understanding on how the world works before you try to engage others in an intellectual way. I’ll give you a hint, start with the people your grifters bash but watch their videos without the grifter telling you what to think first. You might actually learn something. It might seem like a scary thing at first, being challenged on how you think the world works, but in time you’ll grow to like actually knowing things instead of the mastubatory shit you’ve been doing up till now.

    Who knows? You might even end up being something more than a mouth-breathing racist with all of the intellectual prowess of a clam. I mean, it’s unlikely, but human potential can surprise you.


  • Get the fuck out of here with this shit. No one wants the filth you spew.

    You and most everyone around you has unconscious bias against non-white people because of the world you grew up in. So we tip the scale, not against those of higher merit, but against those whose only higher merit is their skin color. Then, once you start seeing a world where everyone contributes and all talents are seen, then we can talk about whether or not the scale tipped too far.

    If you’re feeling insecure about your place in the world, join a union or a collective help network. Helping others gives others incentives to help you. It’s like networking, but not purely selfish, so it’s more fun!
