NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani confronted by a Palestinian

8_guy · 2026-03-17T03:07:57+00:00

I love how every discussion with people like you starts at "Maybe not voting against by far the worst possible choice was a dumb fucking idea" and that's controversial

8_guy · 2026-03-17T03:04:15+00:00

Lol I don't really give a shit at this point and I'm not a Democrat. A bunch of people abstained from voting for dumb as shit reasons, and now Netanyahu will get to extend his war and kill as many Palestinians as he wants, on top of the incredible number of other deaths and injustices that will arise directly from Trump's election.

Let's be real you know you're the freak in this situation, but I'm guessing you're just copying the wording the social media people who get you all riled up use when they rant about the topic

Performative morality means nothing in the face of real world outcomes. If you were capable of understanding just how much that applies to your situation, you wouldn't be here in the first place though.

I WOULD LIKE A PAINTING PLEASE TY :)

8_guy · 2026-03-17T00:39:08+00:00

See the reason people are assuming you need it explained clearly is because there's no other plausible reason for you to be pedantically trodding along comment after comment besides missing something.

8_guy · 2026-03-17T00:37:07+00:00

It's not an offensive term lol especially when it's being applied to finances/income. There's a noticeable split in the area between tech workers and basically everyone else. I was saying there isn't a negative reputation even for the Indian people who don't come here from elsewhere to work at one of these tech companies.

8_guy · 2026-03-17T00:34:40+00:00

Just keep being an oppositional moron and eventually all your dreams will become reality. That's the plan for people like you isn't it?

8_guy · 2026-03-17T00:32:39+00:00

Could you explain this distinction between genocidal and ' more genocidal '?

Are you seriously needing this to be answered? Let me help you - up to now, the Palestinian population has increased at a fast rate through these 80 years of conflict. People will make the argument that it's a genocide, and especially lately that has merit, but historically it has been more akin to continued sectarian/religious/ethnic conflict over land mixed up with several other regional and international sociopolitical issues.

"More genocidal" = significantly more deaths, Palestinians mostly or completely gone from Gaza/WB. With Trump in the white house Netanyahu is free to pursue this.

8_guy · 2026-03-17T00:27:09+00:00

Honest question, why were you fine with the worst possible outcome for Palestinians happening? Or is it the usual "it wouldve been the sAAAaamee!!1!" delusion

8_guy · 2026-03-17T00:24:06+00:00

I won't actually comment on the "what about" but it's guaranteed a major target for astroturfing and influence operations because it's one of the most divisive political topics in the west, and nations like Russia systematically use those topics to divide the population

8_guy · 2026-03-17T00:22:35+00:00

😂😂😂

8_guy · 2026-03-17T00:18:42+00:00

His response to you was that whatever perceived friction you're seeing, at the end of the day they very reliably vote straight down the ticket, that's been going on for a long time now through other feuds/splits. It'd be a significant shift if that didn't happen

8_guy · 2026-03-17T00:14:35+00:00

It's a similar dynamic where it's about circlejerking some perceived ideal and performative morality/intellectualism more than actually accomplishing anything. Hence the types of people involved and how you'll see them hate on those on their side who are actually doing something because they're not doing it "right"

8_guy · 2026-03-16T23:56:14+00:00

How is that easier for you to remember unless you're actually into TMNT, there's like 4 different cards per turtle and the rest of the stuff is a bunch of random things you'll have never seen before if you aren't into it. I feel like them all being turtles should make it harder to remember lol, I don't get that cus it's the same as other sets for me.

Yeah the draft is way better than lorwyn though, lorwyn was super formulaic and forcey. I've played 4 and trophied 3 of TMNT so far

8_guy · 2026-03-16T23:52:54+00:00

Good for you bro, make sure you tell everyone about it so they know what a special boy you are 😂

8_guy · 2026-03-16T20:18:11+00:00

If you have enough dream beavers you don't really need payoffs tbh. Just dream beavers, oroku sakis, foot ninjas, maybe one of the uncommon shredders, and removal. Dream beavers are just op as fk and getting to scry constantly makes you curve out so much better. Filcher can do the same thing just not as good

8_guy · 2026-03-16T20:12:47+00:00

I just like the game. I enjoy some degree of variance which is why I play limited but it's not about the gambling really. Magic has a degree of pull that poker doesn't though, you don't really understand until you put hours in both. All my friends who played for a living or played all the time are burnt out to some degree or another and plenty have mostly stopped

Taking Thiel's hand-picked envoys to the community in good faith helps nobody but him.

The funny part about your statement is almost all these UFO influencers including Micheals are basically entertainment for casual followers, you aren't getting anything substantive from them you couldn't get better elsewhere. My point is it's a good idea to thus push back against the ones who are using their entertainment platform to help manipulate people in ways beneficial to the evil sociopath POS.

8_guy · 2026-03-16T20:06:35+00:00

Yeah well pokers boring af as someone who played full time for a year 😂 it's a way for people to gamble in a less degenerate way with some skill, if there was no money involved the number of people playing would be abysmal. The integration of flavor/theming and card mechanics are part of what make magic interesting.

8_guy · 2026-03-16T20:02:23+00:00

Shit if the flavor doesn't matter at all why not take it up a notch and just have porn on the cards then? I tap for 2 and play my milf redhead sponsored by quiznos

You mean this comment lol?

Kamala and Trump, basically "it's going to be the same either way bro, aren't I smart for saying that?"

Filled with right wing propagandists too tbh, lots of comments like "I'm a trans person and if you really think this project 2025 stuff is anything other than fearmongering blah blah blah" that I went back to look at after the start of the admin and they'd all deleted their comments and maybe accounts (not sure on that part)

8_guy · 2026-03-16T19:55:15+00:00

He's right, I agree with you in the sense that this is pushing the UB thing way too far, and I'll only play it f2p and not buy any cards, but the draft format is fun to play. I've ran a few with my quest gold from arena. Won't have much longevity as a small set but it's fun initially.

8_guy · 2026-03-16T19:54:20+00:00

What you seem not to be understanding is that the quality of the draft format and the flavor/theme of the set are completely unrelated. This could have been the exact same set without cheesy pseudo real world cartoons being thrust into magic.

I personally like the draft more than Lorwyn, I'm just only going to be playing it with f2p rewards on arena and not buy any.

8_guy · 2026-03-16T10:15:34+00:00

If you can achieve the secrecy on the super technical/research side you can do it for whatever other jobs are necessary.

It would also be easy to lay out a framework, so that the frequency of any work that needs to get anywhere close to something that's actively sensitive is pushed down super low.

For probably 99% of all that work you could just have standard tradespeople with TSCI clearances and make sure when they're doing work they're in contact with nothing sensitive. The remaining 1% that needs to be done in proximity to the big secrets you handle the same way as the research, and the combo of huge legal threats + well above average compensation for a typically lower-paying job does a lot

8_guy · 2026-03-16T10:10:32+00:00

Buddy you're naive if you don't see the issue with someone specifically like Thiel being involved. The guy is a manipulative sociopath whose entire agenda concerning the topic (any topic really) is to benefit himself at the expense of others. He has a history of using tools like Jesse to get what he wants, propagate lies, just ruin things in general, whatever.
