I think the ratio is up to 43 now, actually.

Well, that ceasefire didn’t last long. Or is the Israeli government going to claim that West Bank isn’t Gaza, so the ceasefire doesn’t apply to them? Despite them repeatedly claiming in the past that any incidents in West Bank counted as a Hamas violation of ceasefires.

And Israel bombed Kamal Adwan Hospital again last night, murdering five of the hospital workers there.

The University’s administration has seemed to be extremely bigoted in the past, so probably.

Do you still have the actual people that made the games? I’m not talking about the “lead devs”, I’m talking about the actual talent that were responsible for making them.

There was a deadline? What did they set, a 20 year development cycle???

I mean, I agree. But, based on that argument, it’s totally fine if 100% of pre-created MCs are women then, since it’s only the story and universe that are important (and I would be 100% a-ok with that happening).

The issue is they aren’t going to stop with their plan. Whatever rights they can remove and also reinforce their own political position and wealth, they will do. And if things get far enough in their larger plan, there won’t be the option or ability to fight back, either democratically or otherwise.

The only real hope I see is if they try to go too far too quickly and people realize that if they don’t make a proper stand, then they’ll lose everything.

I mean, it makes sense. A lot of these retailers have their operations based in places that should be legitimately terrible for producing their specific products. Faking it is all they have.

As an American, I agree. Hopefully the Republicans try to go off the rails enough that the public finally gets convinced that the only way to deal with these maniacs is their own language - violence.

Unfortunately, they’re instead deciding to double down in every way possible.

I’m posting this one rather than the Washington Post article directly because that one’s behind a paywall. There’s still a link to it in this article if you do have personal access.

Not even a real bet to make. I mean: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/summer-reads/article/2024/09/09/how-the-sound-of-freedom-captivated-trump-s-conspiracy-fueled-base_6725321_183.html

I’m always more and more weirded out when plant-based foods try to mimic meat. Even to extremes like with Spam here. Just…why?

No, they really don’t see it. And they instead idolize Homelander and think he’s the one that’s correct in the show and doing what’s right and what they want to do.

The Boys has a lot of super creepy right-wingers who idolize the fascist characters in the show, totally oblivious that the show is making fun of them and those characters.

It’s super weird that they’re that dumb, but combined with that is just how weird and disturbing they are as people because of that.

The good thing is that each usage thus far has only been in the narrow strips of hiding trees, so there’s no risk of a large fire breaking out. A lot of the people whining on social media about killing trees are purposefully ignoring that fact.

Yeah, “hit with” has always been bizarre passive voice wording. The executives in charge were the ones who actively decided to lay off people.

I mean, even if it had done well, I feel like they would still be laying people off anyways, just to pad out their end of year revenue presentations.

That’s some high tier psychological damage right there.
