Indeed. As is arsenic. You can even find it in water supplies (especially in the U.S., where there are "acceptable" levels).

If it's AI generated, it's a hell of a coincidence that the letters all match the French words for those things.

 

And has this guy never seen a chorse before?

(Okay, I got nothing after that one. Based on my limited knowledge of French, this is appears to be a terrible translation issue- tree = arbre, horse = cheval, house = maison.)

So you can't quote me then. Why did you lie about me?

Tunisia- dictatorship again.

Egypt- dictatorship again.

Libya - on its way based on the laws it is now passing.

Yemen - also on its way and also recruiting child soldiers.

Syria - we have no idea yet.

you don’t seem to have any concept of resistance and simply want to tell everyone it’s hopeless and nothing should be done.

Please quote me.

That is not what you said. You are changing what you said. This is what you said:

Ethnic cleansing is objectively less severe than genocide. The Democrats showed no signs of seriously wanting to end the genocide. Also the destruction that now serves as the basis for the ethnic cleansing was done entirely under Democrat rule, with Democrat support.

This is not the gotcha that people think it is. It is more evidence that the US is a genocidal empire and both parties hold up this empire and commit its crimes together.

Now at least there is a slim chance that the Democrats start acknowledging Zionism as a political liability. Or they will just join in on the crackdown on all the minorities they pretended to care about slightly, but immediately blamed after the election.

That is you saying that now, because of ethnic cleansing, there is an upside, which is that Democrats might start acknowledging that Zionism is a bad thing.

I am not that blind or that stupid believe it or not. I am able to read.

Which one of those uprisings involve people spraying bullets into the crowd? And, again, the uprisings were a failure.

And the thing that could be done was already not done in November. That's why I've taken my lesbian daughter to safety in Europe where she won't be sent to conversion therapy by gunpoint.

(Let me guess, there will be no genocide of queer people, they wouldn't do that.)

You:

When did I ever say an IG is going to take down the government?

Me right before that:

I don’t know what real specific person you mean

I don't see a point in conversing with you if you're going to ignore what I said.

This you?

Now at least there is a slim chance that the Democrats start acknowledging Zionism as a political liability.

Because it has your username attached to it and that is very much saying there's an upside to it.

The Arab Spring was a total failure. How do you not know that? It literally resulted in new dictatorships.

Do you think the Nazis were reluctant to massacre people they didn't like? Because they weren't.

I do think so. What I don't think is that the one you think is worse is actually worse because your argument for their being worse is built upon the idea that ethnic cleansing isn't fucking horrific and might be a good thing.

When you talk about the good aspects of ethnic cleansing, you've already lost the argument.

I don't know what real specific person you mean, but I have no idea how you think they could bring down the entire Republican-run U.S. government by themselves. You do understand this problem is far deeper than just Trump, right? If Trump is killed, Harris doesn't get to be president, Vance does. And Vance is even worse.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 53 minutes ago

Killing Trump will not end this. After him is Vance. If you kill Vance, you get Johnson. And then cabinet members. It's fascists all the way down.

 
 

I swear, Corsetti will believe anything as long as archaeologists don't.

 
 

I'm not at all shocked that Mel thinks of Trump as daddy.

 

Only a fellow Boomer like Maher would think anything makes Trump look cool. Even most of the people who voted for him don't think that.

 

My favorite part of the video is that Trump keeps trying to do this stupid fucking power move where he gives a firm handshake and refuses to let go. Newsom was ready for it and Trump had to forcibly pull his hand away.

Edit: Sorry for not being clear. There is a link to a tweet in the article that has the video.

 

They're like that in this apartment we're renting and I keep seeing them elsewhere. I don't get it.

 

This has apparently been going on for a while. And wow does it all sound stupid to me. It apparently also helps them bypass broadcasting rights (and paying players of course).

The NFL, CBS Sports and Nickelodeon teamed up to bring SpongeBob and plenty of slime to a "kids-centric" telecast of the 2024 Super Bowl, for example. ESPN and Disney presented a "Funday Football" Toy Story animated game in 2023, and another with The Simpsons in December, featuring the canonical yellow characters on the field and sidelines, pre-recorded segments and the show's theme song and jingles.

The NHL has done several such projects dating back to February 2023, when it collaborated with ESPN and Disney for the NHL Big City Greens Classic — a live, animated telecast of a Washington Capitals-New York Rangers faceoff, with players modeled after characters from the animated comedy adventure series, which it reprised the following year.

It also presented the MultiVersus NHL Face-Off, a partnership with TNT Sports and Warner Bros. Games that brought beloved characters from the MultiVersus video game — including Bugs Bunny, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Steven Universe — to an animated matchup between the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights, officiated by the Tasmanian Devil.

 

I'm guessing that "calmly" will be only one-sided.

On the other hand...

“I’ve always had a businesslike, pragmatic and even trusting relationship with the current president,” Putin said according to The Moscow Times. “And I can’t help but agree that if his victory hadn’t been stolen in 2020, the crisis in Ukraine might not have emerged in 2022,” he added about the full-scale invasion he himself ordered.
