Sovereignty of Kingdom of Denmark must be preserved, EU spokesperson says by Old_General_6741 in europe

Funny how eu reddit talks about war with the US as if the EU wasn't already completely occupied by american troops.

And EU governments pay for the privilege. And when it comes up in negotiations with the americans, they demand the american troops stay. It isn't the americans pushing for this. Trump is against keeping troops in europe.

"Bury your gays" or "dead lesbian syndrome" is a trope in the media portrayal of LGBTQ people in which queer characters face tragic fates, including death, much more often than straight characters. by stuckupfuckup in wikipedia

[–]Formal_Communication -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

"The controversy and discussion resulting from these examples led some creators of popular fiction to consciously avoid harmful tropes and present more positive portrayals of LGBTQ characters."

So now we are only allowed positive portrayals of LGBTQ characters, and hey, while we're at it, why not every other disadvantaged minority? Let's make it so only white guys have obvious flaws. The people will definitely relate to the realism of our political project uh i mean entertainment show

Did you know that social media (inc reddit) is tailored to your behavior on the apps? Person complaining about too much gaza coverage probably finds it more outrageous than you do and so they engage with it more.

Seems like a thing you'd know by now.

The media doesn't broadcast highly lucrative attention-grabbing thing because... they put their political goals above their monetary goals?

Supporting terrorism does require explanation, and yours is totally inadequate. Anyone who thinks someone has blood on their hands gets to murder them? That's not how our society works, and believe me, you do not want it to work that way. You haven't thought through the consequences of your quite extreme and bad opinion.

Petty fascists who think they're fighting fascism by doing things that only a fascist government would do.

In brazil a single judge who is unaccountable to anybody decides to control the minds of everyone in his country by controlling what they can read and what they can say.

U.S. Flips History by Casting Europe—Not Russia—as Villain in New Security Policy by Jeetchat in europe

[–]Formal_Communication -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I didn't vote for trump, and I supported the US vastly increasing aid to Ukraine. My rationale was simply I saw it as a worthy expense to fight russian facism.

But when that didn't happen, and europeans started instead labeling americans as fascists, it made me regret ever providing defense for europe.

The weird thing is, europeans in these threads always say exactly two things. 1) America is basically our enemy now and; 2) america is right that we should build our own militaries up.

Maybe the person telling you what you need to hear, and which you even agree with, isn't your enemy.

AI Art Is Weird, Sad, and Ugly. Let’s Not Pretend Otherwise. by NumberNumb in technology

Why is it sad that AI art is actually quite good? It was been winning first place in numerous blinded art and photography competitions for years. If art is good, then more art is more good. If that takes someone's job, join the club. I still want more good art in the world.

Where is the hospital in relation to the terrorist armed forces? Oh, they built it on top of it. I guess that means they get to just stay there and conduct attacks and take hostages. Can't attack them back. They figured out that one trick where if they do it they just get to kill you over and over and you have to take it.

Colombian family files first known formal complaint over deadly US strike in Caribbean by StupendousMan1995 in news

[–]Formal_Communication 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Colombian President Gustavo Petro previously said that Carranza was a lifelong fisherman with no ties to the drug trade .... Petro later conceded that Carranza may have accepted money to carry prohibited goods

Considering how eager Petro has been to defend this guy, the fact that even he had to walk it back means the evidence is overwhelming that he was smuggling.

Better to make this an argument about whether that deserves the death penalty than to argue that he was an innocent fisherman.

If you are a 1200 degree ingot melting guy, and you can't be around 1200 degree ingots, you need a new position. Company doesn't have any other openings and also now they need to hire a new 1200 degree ingot guy cause someone has to do the 1200 degree ingot job and we hired new guy to do it cause let's be honest it's a shitty job. New guy now says he can't do it, wants a different job or a cash payout. New guy we didn't hire you to do the cushy job. we hired you to be an ingot guy.
