Yes but that sounds more like a “@Skulldrinker’s boorish friend problem” and less of a “me problem”.
You see how everyone reacted to The Zone of Interest trying to portray the Holocaust as actual murder. No one liked it. Murder is pretty disrespectful and dehumanizing to the victim, no matter how gingerly it’s portrayed. And all murders are at bottom the same, which offends people, because they don’t like that this particular murder reminded them other murders that they like better. It reminds me of a quote from Raymond Chandler:
“If the mystery novel is at all realistic (which it very seldom is) it is written in a certain spirit of detachment; otherwise nobody but a psychopath would want to write it or read it.”
So must be the same with Holocaust narratives.

Well like I said, it’s a James Bond movie, so a certain level of eye-rolling CIA military-industrial-complex propaganda is just the cost of entry. The old Sean Connery ones were just as bad, you just don’t notice the subversion because it was the last generation’s brainwashing program, and theirs was a bit different.

This guy clearly doesn’t know much about the sordid history of American Indian reservations, or he wouldn’t be jumping to make this argument. Apartheid state might actually be better.

Just like how there was a massive moral panic about human cloning, and then the second it became possible there was sudden total radio silence. :^) I’m sure they aren’t doing anything in secret though.

She’s ironically got a better case there. If the kid was trying to steal her property, she was arguably using a reasonable amount of force to prevent that (yelling and scolding). Where she gets into trouble is continuing the altercation past where the threat of theft has passed.

I don’t hate all turn based combat. This one just seems to be very heavy on the RNG in a way that seems to flatten out all my inputs. It reminds me a lot of my bette noir, Civilization III.

Tenet is very underrated. It’s basically Nolan’s take on a James Bond film. In terms of woke politics, everyone should just be glad that the film didn’t present anything even remotely close to real historically accurate Grecian sexual and social dynamics.

Also Appalachia had a pretty significant Union base from mining and industry which kept them left-leaning longer than other parts of the country. Politically it’s more like the upper Midwest than the South.

Obviously I was speaking somewhat in jest, but LA and NYC are getting lame, Miami is still vital. And Israeli VIPs seem to like vacationing in Miami in a way they don’t in the other two places.

What is Roblox, and why does it seem to be ground zero for every creeper in the entire world?

That’s why the Soviets were always vaguely butthurt about Zionism. They were well aware that a lot of their luminaries were Jewish and that an ethnonationalist movement catering specifically to them could very easily sap the USSR’s vitality, which it did. Thankfully Burgerland has Miami so this will never be a problem.

This is because another little baby child that's born in the ghetto is an immediate drain on the state or municipal budget
And a major source of emotional strain on the mothers of said children, I’m sure.

The research on caffeine is all over the place, I’ve seen different studies that say both.

If I lock a hooker in my basement and then stop giving her water bottles, that’s murder. I can’t argue that the stupid bitch should have been responsible for her own utilities payments.

I’m no expert on Catholicism, but IIRC the church still has in-the-vest bishops in China.
The Soviets spent the next half decade getting discount American grain shipments that kept their economy from falling apart. And the Chinese had just managed to get the Americans on board as a partner against Soviet expansionism. I don’t think either one would want to make a meal of any suspicious radar tracks.

I dabble in moon landing conspiracy theories and I wonder about that. Could you shoot a mostly empty rocket over the horizon and claim it was a moon launch? Obviously that wouldn’t get you the radar track, but could that get you the visual?

The Israeli government was seriously discussing shutting off all the water to Gaza. The only reason they didn’t do that was because if the massive international outcry.
The solution is simple, grasshopper.
- Delete Hinge
- Throw your phone into the ocean
- Get JACKED
- Buy the most expensive sports car you can afford.
- Drive to an intersection
- Place the car in neutral, engage the parking brake, and vigorously push down on the accelerator pedal four or five times. This will engage the automatic flirting system (AFS). You’ll know the AFS has activated when a polite but extremely loud English-accented voice comes booming out out of the engine saying “Hello ladies! Have you considered taking an interest in MY PENIS?”. American manufactures usually go with Stephen Fry, but recently BMW has been having a lot of success with Matt Berry as well.
- Do this a few times and you will start getting dates
Now a couple of safety warnings
- You will eventually get a ticket. Do not apologize. Deep down, the officer knows what you did was right.
- If you are running a V8 or higher, the low frequency rumble is going to call Latinas. Don’t stay in one place with the engine running too long. Consider keeping an atomizer of L'heure bleue or a similar fragrance, it smells like Karen droppings and it will scare them off. You need to be smart about this. I don’t want you coming back here whining about how you accidentally splattered some poor pedestrian because you were in fear of being hauled out of your Dodge Challenger and gang-raped by a feral pack of brown baddies.
Nobody wants an un-sentimental look at the Holocaust because it would be ugly and horrible and difficult to score political points off of. It’s the same dynamic for war movies, right down to the ill-recieved A24 release.
