First they came for the Palestinians, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Palestinian.

So we’re going to stop supplying Israel with weapons, money, and international cover, right? RIGHT?

insufferable

Check out this video of Michael Brooks succinctly explaining Israel/Palestine even before Oct 7.

You wouldn’t know the players, they go to a different school.

What’s really crazy is that via PACs and the like, the politicians themselves could not even know what corporations sponsor them.

Maybe “Does anyone know where the second big cutting board is?”

“Americans as coffee-swilling boors who make tea, if at all, in the microwave”

I’ve never felt so seen.

Hmm, I seem to recall US Intelligence swearing that Saddam Hussein definitely had WMDs and was definitely about to use them on his own people and we definitely needed to invade Iraq to stop him. US Intelligence is not a fact or truth seeking operation; its purpose is to further American imperial interests all else be damned.

1. Fasnacht Day - A Pennsylvania Dutch holiday on the day before Lent in which you use all your sugar, fat, and oil to make fasnachts (doughnuts) before fasting for Lent. Essentially a holiday for doughnuts. The images on Wikipedia are scuffed as hell and homemade fasnachts are really good. Maybe the Lemming (Lemmy?) could be in the shape of a doughnut.

2. Oilfield Prayer Day - Celebrated in Oklahoma on October 13 as a day for all faiths to "thank God for the blessings created by the oil and natural gas industry and to seek His wisdom and ask for protection” according to OK Governor Mary Fallin. Personally I celebrate by buying 10-20 gallons of gas and pouring it down the nearest storm drain to do my part for the oil industry. /s Set Lemmy on fire.

Yeah, that’s what I don’t understand. I don’t really see any moral distinction between eating dogs/cats/horses vs pigs/cows/chickens. It seems like the only logically consistent positions are to ban it all or allow it all; picking and choosing doesn’t make much sense.

No, bins marked for recycling batteries, phones, etc.

I don’t know if they were/are at every store though.

Used to be bins right inside the door. If they’re gone I’d just ask customer service.

Yes.

Generally one of the more unhinged and disturbing things I’ve read. Even the ghouls who lead the charge to invade Iraq and Afghanistan weren’t as callous and insane as to use nuclear weapons. Don’t take this the wrong way, but IMO you should consider seeking professional help to deal with your anger and your indifference to massive human loss of life.

I custom designed and 3D-printed a prop from an anime I like.

What I made

This is a really cool question OP. Do you have anything you want to share?

So more kids are shot where there are more lax gun laws; who could have ever foreseen that?
