Dare I ask… Is that real?

Ugh. I hate what we’ve become.

Neither does Trump.

Could someone who is more familiar with Japan’s politics explain what this means? Is a Japanese conservative at all like an American conservative?

I wish Trump would rupture, like the pestilent boil on America’s ass that he is.

Please tell me PP’s political career is over now.

I like the idea, but unfortunately it would be treated as an excuse to start another war (by the “peace” president).

A better option is to gently, but firmly, insist that he affirm the sovereignty and autonomy of Denmark and Greenland. And if he won’t do that, then simply escort him back onto the plane and send him home.

Good. Our fuckwit MAGA population needs to feel the hurt personally in order to have any chance of waking up from the cult.

As an American, I 100% support boycotting U.S. goods and services.

You misread what I wrote. I didn’t say it couldn’t fool me, I said I’ll never pay for it. I’m not interested in fabricated emotional connections to fake art, even if it’s faked well enough to trick me. All this means is that I’m going to be researching the bands and artists I listen to, which I already do anyways.

There really isn’t anything unique anyway in human made content

100% pure, unadulterated bullshit.

Hard disagree. I will never pay a single penny for any form of LLM-generated “art,” because the whole point of art is to share in something meaningful to the creator. There is no creator with generated slop. It’s all just unthinking and unfeeling mass plagiarism.

Actually, that account is quite good at trolling, because people keep responding to it.

Stop. Downvote it, report it to the mods, block it, and move on. Don’t feed trolls.

For people who didn’t read the whole article, you really should. It touches on the fact that Derek Huffman ended up sent to the front lines in the war against Ukraine, and for a while there were rumors he’d died there.

It also talks about another family that did the same thing and immediately got swindled out of everything, with Russia’s famously corrupt law enforcement doing nothing to help them against the swindler.

Oh, you can fuck right off with that nonsense. I’m not both-sidesing anything. Israel committed (and is going to commit, almost certainly) more genocide. They are absolutely the bad guys here. Acknowledging that Hamas hasn’t been good for Palestine either isn’t at all the same thing as pretending they’re as bad as a country committing genocide.

I don’t expect elections before the end of occupation. I am 100% in favor of Israel getting the fuck out of Palestine, and fully support a Palestinian state.

It’s just important to be realistic about Hamas.

It’s Hamas. They existed as a terrorist organization long before now, and they’ve ruled Gaza without elections since the mid-2000’s. Israel is 1000 times worse - like I said, they’ve got a taste for genocide. But that doesn’t mean it’s pleasant to be a Palestinian caught between the two.

Yeah, this “peace” isn’t going to last a week, sadly. The Israeli government has a taste for genocide now and likes it, while Hamas doesn’t know how to stop being murderous terrorists. Mix the two together, you get… a lot of dead innocents who made the mistake of existing in Gaza.

Goddamn it.

Unfortunately, we have a first-past-the-post election system in most of the country (a very few places have ranked-choice). What that means is that most of the time, voting for anyone besides a Democrat or a Republican amounts to throwing your vote away.

That’s disheartening. I’ve been under the impression that even most of your conservatives generally find Republicans to be completely cuckoo. Is that not the case?

Aziz Ansari? Goddamn it…

Not sure this guy understands that if that actually happened, no Republican would ever win the presidency again, and the House and Senate would instantly flip to the Democrats.

Not yet, but come on… It’s Russia. No one actually believes Belgium or Finland or some other EU country did it.
