Every time we chat, and the discussion turns towards capitalism, she’s the one who without any hesitation just says we should kill them all. Now, though, it’s gone further to torture. And she names names. In addition to people like Bezos and Musk, she includes Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate and others.

I say we should force them to work and maybe learn the error of their ways (After the revolution of course. During it many of these fucks will die and I’ll be glad).

Her current jobs is extremely horrible. She’s being massively overworked, verbally abused and, of course, underpaid. So I get her frustration. But it’s also scary. I don’t want her to get in any trouble.

I don’t know if I should be gently turning her away from imagining a slow and painful torture of capitalists or not. Am I being a lib or is she too extreme?

> "She went to step up to compete for the grade four shot-put final, and right before she went to throw, a grandfather of a student said, 'Hey, this is supposed to be a girls' event, and why are you letting boys compete.' My daughter is cisgender, born female, uses she/her pronouns. She has a pixie haircut," said mom Heidi Star.

> Star says the man then carried on to demand certification to prove that her daughter was born female.

> "He stopped the entire event. He also pointed at another girl who also had short hair. He then piped in and said, 'Well, if she is not a boy, then she is obviously trans.'"

> Star said the man's wife then started calling her "a genital mutilator, a groomer, and a pedophile."

This is what happens when you allow Americanism to invade your country.

It’s not fair :angery:

Victoria Flint and her boyfriend attended Spontaneous Potter on Saturday, May 13, to celebrate her 42nd birthday.

Both had purchased new cloaks and wands for the event, but were unpleasantly surprised as soon as the performance began.

Victoria said: “The first thing that the main character said when opening the show was, "I have never watched a single Harry Potter film or read a single Harry Potter book".

The audience then reportedly gasped, to which he replied, ‘and you can suck my balls!’”

Victoria said: “It’s not really what I paid £20 each for a ticket for, not what I think many people around me really thought that they paid for. We decided to leave early, it wasn’t anything to do with Harry Potter.

"It was just a group of four people that were doing some improvised comedy, and it had no bearing on Harry Potter.”

Victoria wrote to Wiltshire Creative, requesting a refund on her ticket but had not received a reply at the time of writing.

Victoria said: “[The presenter] did say, ‘Ah, I’ve been wanting to say that,’ because they did a children’s version of it, and he said, ‘I wanted to say that in the kids’ performance, but obviously I couldn’t.’”

Victoria said up until that evening, her birthday had gone well.

She said: “I’m a bit disgusted and appalled by it really.”

Nice. I always knew there was a reason I hated it.

Started when Destiny gave $10k to the pigs to try and spite FD Signifier and now this dude repeats it.

WTF is this era. I hate it.

Listen, I Like Sam, Emma, Matt and all the rest. They are my daily listen, even if I sometimes disagree.

And the subreddit is mostly okay, too. A bit too liberal for me to visit that often but not bad.

And then I saw this thread. Over 1k upvotes, 600+ comments.

And absolute dogshit analysis. Just an orgy of the most CNN-tier vomit spewed over all of our screens.

Here’s the link for all to see.

Such cool systems exist in the world and yet we are stuck with the worst ones. :deeper-sadness:

I think I know the answer but just checking…

One of my…friends is falling for their bs about China. I need some sources to either debunk their claims or show that they’re literally a cult.

Fucking baaaaaaased. How the hell was he ever allowed to make a Hollywood movie???

The war in Yemen looks like it’s coming to an end. U.S. media reported yesterday that a cease fire extending through 2023 had been agreed to, but those reports also included Houthi denials. But today Al Mayadeen, a generally pro-Houthi Lebanese news outlet, is reporting optimism from the Houthi side that the deal is real and the war is winding down.

What’s startling here is the apparent role of China in brokering a rapprochement between Iran and Saudi that made this possible. The Saudis seem like they are fully capitulating to the (quite reasonable) Houthi demands, which include opening the major port to allow critical supplies into the country, allowing flights, and allowing the government to have access to its currency to pay its workers and stabilize the economy. Reasonable stuff.

With the Saudis no longer backing militants in the war, those rump factions won’t have much capacity left to fight, though there will still probably be some clashes before it’s all said and done. The way the war is ending also underscores just how illegitimate the “government” of Yemen has been the last several years. In reality, it’s a group of exiles living in hotels in Riyadh, fully propped up by and under the thumb of Saudi Arabia. For a while, Saudi Arabia was referring to it in official documents as “The Legitimate Government of Yemen,” though it did no actual governing, and had no legitimacy outside its hotel.

It’s now led by the “Presidential Leadership Council,” and look at how the news was delivered to the “legitimate government of Yemen,” according to Al Mayadeen: “The sources stated that Riyadh informed the Presidential Leadership Council of its decision to end the war and conclude the Yemeni file permanently.”

The war is over. So is your government. The file is closed. Check out is at 11 am. You’ve been informed.

Erik Sperling, executive director of Just Foreign Policy, which has been working for an end to the war in Yemen for years, told me that the Saudi move suggests the country is looking out for its own interests rather than continuing the war for the benefit of U.S. interests in the region. "The Saudi concessions — including a potential lifting of the blockade and exit from the war — demonstrate that their priority is to protect Saudi territory from attack and focus on economic development at home,” he said. “This diverges from the approach preferred by many Washington foreign policy elites who continued to hope that the Saudi war and blockade could force the Houthis to make concessions and cede more power to the US-backed Yemeni 'government.' While the Houthis are a deeply flawed movement, it is both immoral and ineffective to try to counter them by pushing tens of millions of Yemenis to the brink of starvation. The Saudis are smart to cut their losses, end their complicity in this human rights nightmare, and refocus their attention to their own economic development."

I made the mistake of going to her Twitter to see the actual tweet but I couldn’t find it in the fucking ocean of anti-trans shit she is tweeting and retweeting.

Including the Communist Party of Great Britain too when they put out an anti-trans statement. She has completely lost her mind.

This is another reason why you shouldn’t have billionaires. Now that they don’t gotta work, all they do is tweet (see also Elon).

It's just a constant litany of clearly fatal flaws interspersed with "great game though!"

"It may not be the most impressive technical achievement and it is certainly cursed with a lack of enemy variety ..."

"... Legacy's plot has more holes than a fishnet stocking and sorta just expects you to accept that its magical world makes no sense."

"If you're like me, you'll roll your eyes during moments when you're introduced to 100 years' worth of dead characters lecturing you from paintings ..."

"... a not-too-convoluted good-guys-versus-bad-guys conflict that ends up being an enjoyable tale, even if it's not particularly profound or original."

"... Legacy's dicey performance ... suffered from just about every issue that makes IGN's performance review team cry ... framerate inconsistency, weird issues [with] the lighting ... aggressive pop-in, and more ... every door in Hogwarts has a brief loading screen ..."

"... a fairly glitchy adventure in general ... You'll probably fall through the map a time or two, or see a character or object get caught in the environment, or maybe even have the person you're talking to just up and walk away ... leaving you to speak with the empty spot ..."

"... the creatures you fight soon run out of tricks up their sleeves ... the enemies Legacy throws at you wear thin pretty quick. ... there's practically no variety ..."

"... Quidditch is nowhere to be found. The lore reason ... feels like an attempt to paper over the absence of a major aspect ... that the developers must've just not had time to include."

"... you'll be painfully disappointed in Legacy's abysmal inventory space ... it never stops being a major pain in the cockatrice ..."

"It's certainly weighed down by technical issues, a lackluster main story, and some poor enemy variety"

Verdict: 9/10 (Amazing; "We expect to look back at it as one of the highlights of its time and genre" — not quite the impression I got from the review!)

For perspective, games given a 10 by IGN include God of War, The Last of Us, Breath of the Wild, and GTA V. Other 9s include Batman: Arkham Knight. 8s include The Outer Worlds.
