This was me during my history class today:
Burkina Faso gives me hope for a better world.
Intrigued by the whole Kate Middleton drama that is stirring up right now. Proper weird UK behavior again.
In the UK, All Royal family reporting is pure theatrics, similar to when the US starts randomly pushing UFO stories. In both cases theres usually something actually important they don’t want people to look into.
Is this the whole she posted a photo shopped picture? and this is breaking news somehow?
Yes. It’s news because she hasn’t been seen in public for quite a while now and the royal family wishes not to speak about her whereabouts. Rumours has it that she had a surgery which failed and she is now in a possible medical induced coma.
To calm the rumours the family decided to release this picture but it now appears to be photoshopped or AI. And in a response to the backlash, a press statement by Kate was made saying that ‘she sometimes likes to edit pictures as a hobby’.
this feels like a spiral that does not need to be. This hardly feels news worthy
Where is
Peng ShuaiKate Middleton?Will we see protests at Wimbledon even after she says she’s fine?
It’s Holodomor week at school!
may Stalin watch over you
I need the strength. Spoiler alert, Stalin was shit on the entire class today and it sucked, they even made fun of his lemon trees. I made a post for those curious.
Ask them about the Dust Bowl in USA in 1930s
This particular course is about genocides, so famines in general aren’t really talked about (except this one). I can bring it up to him just to test the waters, see if just any famine can be considered a genocide or just the “holodomor.”
Ask about the history of famine during the period of the Russian Empire.
I am tempted to ask him about Churchill’s Famine and if that’s a subject worth discussing in our Genocide class.
of course Oppenheimer gets all the awards.
I saw the film when it came out, apart from the cringe inducing communist house party scene I thought it was alright, pointing out how cold war hysteria reached absurd levels in the US.
communist house party scene
The what? I’ve never seen the movie and don’t intend to. Care to elaborate?
Theres a scene where Oppenheimer is invited to attend a party hosted by some communist friends of his brother. He has some silly conversations with them where they talk about abolishment of property and ownership, mainly making a lot of smugness all around. Tough to explain but it just feels off, try and find a clip of it if you’re curious.
Also the first woman of the movie is introduced in this scene, 3 mins later she is already naked, its so absurd.
What I don’t see many people talk about is how in my part of the world, and plenty of others, the film was actually censored to remove all of the nudity, so I didn’t actually get too bad of an experience in that regard. But the way it was done was bizarrely technical, to the extent in a film that put so much effort into practical effects, that the heaviest amount of CGI used in the film was applying clothing to nude actors, pretty funny.
Nolan infamously cannot write women, at all. It’s like he descended from a womanless planet. scary stuff
The scene where Oppenheimer is being interrogated and she’s on his lap staring right at his wife will haunt me for the rest of my life. I understand the metaphor, but it still sucks.
Eventually Christopher Nolan will be correctly and ignominiously remembered as a great propagandist instead of an artist
Christopher Nolan He’s a technically impeccable director, but I’ve always seen his films without soul, and without identity. His brother who writes the scripts for his films he knows how to create interesting plots and cool ideas, but he doesn’t know how to create a decent ending or keep the story going long-term.
Another week
Another week another nickel
Knaken accumuleren
☹️
I smoked weed for the first time, got high, not overrated
smoking with comrades rocks
Can the hospital please finally call today?
I called them. Still no news. I was told my email was forwarded to them. The person who picked my call also said he will call them and email me the outcome. This is such a mess and management at my work also needs to know to organize around, so they keep asking me, and idk either. Very stressful.
They said they’d send me an email with an update, but I didn’t get one and I think their shift is over or will be over soon. Can my suffering please end…
🫂
🥺
PSA: Please do not ask facts to an LLM especially political facts. They are all incredibly censored. I would be interested in Chinese LLMs and they are mostly neutral.m
what did you ask?
Political questions, capitalism, western hypocrisy, some LLMs have online access so they pick up whatever news are more popular and regurgitate it. For example you can try this https://pi.ai/talk pretty good llm but ask about current events and find out. You can talk to it without an account. try it.
I got sick and tired of right wingers on instagram pages being absolute smug shits that I have decided to start two foot tackling comment sections and… it seems to be working? Like I am somehow getting hundreds and hundreds of likes on a comment, effectively ratioing them every time.
This is what my life has become. Instagram beefing with losers.
But at least my idea of showing balls and not showing fear to these edgelords seems to be working.
What does it mean to two foot tackle a comment section? I am amused you’re seeing success with whatever this strategy is lol
What prompted me to do this is right wingers and far right militias like the one who got sentenced yesterday in Belgium being able to seemingly say whatever they wanted in the comments. I’m talking about militias who posted Pinochet memes about throwing Belgian left wingers out of helicopters, militias who posted pictures of them flexing their biceps in front of a cup that said ‘left wing tears’ etc.
I was wondering: ‘why isn’t anyone calling them out on their LARPish behavior?’. They were getting too comfortable in posting shit without the backlash. The only thing I saw happening was left wing people debating these Nazi fucks. But the thing is, you’re not going to win a debate with a people like that. These are people who have no problem lying, spouting bullshit or outright insulting you the moment they may lose face. And why would you even want to convince a nazi shit in the first place?
I figured that if I wanted to talk to people like myself, as that’s my only real reference, I might need another approach next to these people. The two foot tackle is an illegal move in football (soccer) in which you charge into someone with two feet forward. It is banned because you can easily hurt your opponent. Under the premise of ‘Make racists afraid again’ I wanted to try out being a little shit myself in these comments. After all, if you are posing as a tough guy on the internet, be prepared to get a reaction.
So I started doing just that. Post a picture of Pinochet under a left wing page? Here’s a nice little picture of Barbara Pit you shit. A left wing page posts a screenshot of a politician saying something nasty on Twitter or Instagram? I’ll tag the person in the comment and call him a shit talking wanker. A right winger defending a convicted Nazi because of free speech? No, you’re living in a fantasy and you’re a loser. A famous Belgian Nazi gets sentenced to prison? I’ll comment that we are going hard on ‘right wing tears’. Etc.
I’m not debating right wingers/outright nazis with this. I don’t feel like doing that, because that’s usually not even the game they play. This is the game they play and it has worked for them so far. I also don’t always want to reach other left wingers with this. I feel like the guy with a hamsic pfp will probably agree with me regardless of what I say. With this, I hope to appeal to the people on the fence, lurking at these pages. I want to achieve that other people see my comments (which I probably stupidly enough post under my actual, real life account) and think: ‘yeah, I don’t have to be nice to a Nazi. I don’t have to debate them and I don’t need to be scared of them.’
And it works. People actually help me in the responses by just dunking on the Nazi’s that come out of the trash.
You love to see it! Glad you’re getting enjoyment from kicking fascist’s sandcastles lmfao o7
Yeah!
I was told I’ll get a call with the surgery date this week. I wonder if this time it’s true.
Aloha!
Why are you all so cute? What business do you have being so cute, huh? 🤨
I love you all. 🥰
