My lib friend, unprompted, posted this bullshit
  • not shown in this metaphor: everyone around you who got the chicken is shitting their pants waiting for the bathroom, which is coincidentally where they're getting the shit for the other meal from

  • What is an underrated/forgotten video game that you think deserved a second chance?
  • Yoku's Island Express. Before playing it, I didn't like pinball or search-action games (metroidvanias). I ended up loving it. I still don't really enjoy pinball on its own, but I now have a deep love for search-action.

  • "The IDF began to investigate the battles in the first days in the surrounding settlements, and the picture is becoming clearer: many casualties due to our forces firing on our forces"

    Saw this screenshot going around and had to dig around to find the original source, which was hard because it's in Hebrew and I don't know Hebrew. I found it with translation tools:

    I want to show yall my favorite band: Neutral Milk Hotel
  • I discovered Neutral Milk Hotel 15 years ago from someone making jokes about hipsters liking Neutral Milk Hotel. I guess I'm a hipster, because they're good. Shortly after, one of my favorite bands at the time covered 2 Headed Boy: https://youtu.be/xuHE7pwOvOc?si=etEKe_fowA6HNqbA

    good post, slimecat

  • This community note is fuckin wild.
  • how the fuck do you enforce an embargo without the threat of violence

    It's actually just America asking very nicely that nobody else trade with Cuba. Everyone just likes America so much, because America is so wholesome and kind, that they oblige. Even the Cubans oblige. Nope, no threat of military intervention at all! That military budget is actually just like a funny little inside joke you wouldn't understand.

  • Why does everyone hate Microsoft for adding LLMs into Windows and spying on users, but not Apple?
  • I think it's because Apple has a "fandom", whereas when's the last time you heard someone being a weird fan of Microsoft outside of Xbox? It just doesn't really exist. The people with Apple devices are often "fans" of Apple, not simply people who bought a product. I think it's that simple.

  • Israeli Scientists Are Shunned by Universities Over the Gaza War
  • China? Really? The country that is delaying shipments to Isreal? The country that is currently refusing to send tech workers to Isreal? The country that has condemned what Isreal is doing? The country that Isreal claims is supplying Hamas with weapons? You think they're going to get this secret special talent from Isreal instead of American Universities? This is a real concern from you?

    Congratulations, you've discovered that you're racist. And very dumb.

  • Mosin Nagant - Billy & Kim

    okay which one of you is the primary songwriter in Mosin Nagant?

    here's a monologue near the end of the song:

    > I keep hearing these fucking idiots talking about these stupid fucking headlines, "Oh my god did you hear that Kim Jong Un fed his general to a pack of dogs? And then he fed his other general to a tank full of sharks." Jesus christ are you fucking stupid? Like, how do you believe this shit? And then there's all these youtube documentaries that go into how "brainwashed" the North Korean public is and how they believe that the Kim family descended from kings who rode unicorns and they just cite this bullshit, mistranslated press release from like, 8 years ago. It's insane. And don't even get me started on these North Korean defectors that get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and hop on Joe Rogan and be like, "oh my god North Korean people are so poor and their infrastructure is so terrible they have to get behind the train car and push it to get to work in the morning." "In my village we only had one chopstick we all had to share and we called it The Chopstick, because it was the only chopstick." SUCK MY DICK. That's insane. FUCK YOU. Jesus.

    marxism is cool

    ```txt

    Slept on a death bed of nails Sipping on Molotov cocktails Cock out Screaming Fuck the world Cops tripling up the Body count Automatic weapon in the mouth of a beast Celebrities singing about peace Im singing about physical blood that we bleed Armored vehicle ATV They just wanna yell about the kids being PC Pepe the frog Drawn on a machine gun Don’t nobody wanna admit the Dreams done Martin Luther king Was Martyred for the sin of Believing in humans Even those that hated him

    Pigs couldn’t watch him win Truth is he would even forgive them Sold as a saint Head on a plate Holiday & Street name Face On a stamp By the same state & clan That planned an attack Many years back Never let him live To see everything he did

    It seems We’ve been fucked too long like Sting Seen bright eyes turn green This could be the first day of our lives i think probably gonna ruin it quick

    It seems We’ve been fucked too long like Sting Seen bright eyes turn green This could be the first day of our life i think Probably gonna ruin it quick

    Open an Umbrella to protect from the tear gas Tears still roll down fast

    Every time we see another innocent killed People cry over broken glass

    Open an Umbrella to protect from the tear gas Tears still roll down fast

    Every time we see another innocent killed People cry and forget fast

    Every time we see another innocent killed People cry and forget fast

    We’re so famous No one’s even working Selfie flashing won’t shut up or Focus

    On a bigger picture All is jokes And temporary goals And It feels hopeless

    Never had their Macro lenses open So reaction trumps it all I notice

    Scream at each other While the boss in the back Counts racks & bones of those who died from covid

    Marx had Called it long ago Monopoly capital grows too large to control Neo-liberal Saviors try to ease it But will never make a vaccine For Corporate Diseases

    Please Feel free to disagree But we see history repeats Consistently

    Fisticuffs came and went The system Ripped us up And left the left For dead

    bodies and brains And creativity Drained For the profit and gain Of a slave master Paying the minimum wage Natural disaster, Cancer, Get the fuck out of my face I don’t got an answer

    But they’re acting Like it’s a privilege To sit and speak In this country That wouldn’t even flinch or weep For innocent teens Shot In city streets By these obscene cowardly police

    Dancing and celebration can be the physical manifestation of a scream

    Burning down a police station may be the physical manifestation of a scream ```

    Capitalist Casualties - Extermination Through Labor

    txt This complication of job culture We condone its ingrained course Why we hold so dearly this raping By the fossilized ethic of pride through work We carry the concrete on our backs The worn out basis of capitalist grief We struggle through days of poverty line pay & laborers pain Caustic reminder of lost days We struggle, at war with good wealth Turning our minds in constant turmoil The world seems closed & conceit infects Can't channel the anger & nothing resets except the days Look to vacate, but duty condescends the freedom to act Paycheck insults A wage for a dog Driven by industry & the collapse of thought The clocks & alarms can't awaken the fog Extermination through labor is all you can afford Only satisfied by the familiar We prepare the death costs unquestioningly We retire in 5 & die in 10 Lie, buy, rape, sty An exercise in futile strife

    > She has also criticised the actions of the Israeli government while arguing it has a right to self-defence, and is no fan of the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

    > "We would like to see some of that enthusiasm recognise Hamas as a terrorist organisation that did a barbaric thing in Israel," she said.

    The front page of /r/politics during a week with nationwide protests in solidarity with Palestine and police crackdowns on said protests

    The words "palestine", "isreal", "cop", "police", "student", "college", and "university" appear nowhere on this page.
