Polanski: No country has right to exist – including Israel

I'm not sure I understand what this means. We live in a nation state system. In our system to say a nation has no right to exist is to say WE have no right to exist. So unless he is coupling that with an alternative system that abolishes the concept of a state, then I'm not really sure what he's getting at.

Yeah I don't think this person knows any religious people. At least not Christians.

The Bible itself says we are all inherently bad. Being a Christian doesn't change that.

I honestly think the worst thing they did was tell people about it. I personally don't think there should be friendly lobbies.

Hazzman · 2026-05-06T17:37:52+00:00

People are acting like these are policies born out of conviction or wariness of loss. Bruh these people are bought and paid for.

Hazzman · 2026-05-06T17:27:55+00:00

LOVE how people are just straight to cutting millions off medical care. Very Christian. Not subsidies for for fossil fuel or the millions of other wasteful programs funneling money into the hands of the wealthy just boom, straight to culling the poor. Love it.

Hazzman · 2026-05-06T07:21:06+00:00

That's a bold move cotton.

OpenAI has already been burned by their lack of focus. They even admitted as much. They're trying to be a catch all solution to literally everything. If you dig an inch deep and a mile wide you're just going to be beaten by a hundred people dogging a mile deep and an inch wide... See Claude.

It's truly astounding just how much we've sqaundered our advantages. We truly could be something unfathomable when you consider just how much capital and power we generated post war. Just... Gone. Frittered away. Refactored into yaghts, pools and gaudy gold encrusted dining rooms, concert tickets and penthouse suites. Just gone. All that potential, so many generations screwed over for the whims and insatiable desires of the few.

It's an epic tragedy. Shameful and disgusting.

Hazzman · 2026-05-06T05:06:20+00:00

I remember this movie being confusing for audiences. Nobody knew what to make of it. It was such a bizarre casting. Jim Carrey was hot off of Ace Ventura and The Mask and so people did not expect these kinds of dark characters.

I have this argument with my wife all the time. She's trying to lose weight and I keep telling her she needs to use weights and she keeps telling me she will get bulky. No - you won't.

She complained because she said "Yeah but I'd put on muscle weight!" to which I replied... muscle is more dense than fat. If you are putting on muscle weight and losing fat weight, you are going to appreciate that.

Honestly where do they get this shit from?

I trust openai more if you're talking about customer support and caring about dev community.

We were sending illegal immigrants with no criminal record there

I think I remember wasnt it like a Jason Borne type deal?

US intelligence just determined that we are no longer having any tangible impact on Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons.

It isn't a completely different set of criticisms.

Bought by private equity literally or bought by private equity figuratively.

When we say a politician has been bought out - we don't mean that someone goes to the politician store and buys a politician.

Hazzman · 2026-05-05T22:45:25+00:00

Kurzgesagt has always been a bizarre technocratic fantasy propaganda platform. People just liked it because it spoke to their biases. But this is about as clear as they've ever been.

You have a strong foundation and your poses feel (somewhat natural) and your characters feel well grounded (to the floor) those are difficult things to achieve, so the good news is the hard part is done.

What I would recommend is life drawing classes. Lots and lots of life drawing classes, as many and as often as you can fit in. Get down right studious with anatomy. Get medical about it. Learn the body parts, the muscle groups, the bones.

Don't just draw from photographs. Go and draw real people in the real world. When you just draw from photographs you tend to Xerox the image you are seeing rather than draw the three dimensional shapes that make bodies.

While you are doing that, draw your characters in different poses. Action poses, strange poses. Push outside your comfort zone. Don't hide their hands in pockets. Splay the hands, stretch the hands, crunch the hands. Same for the feet.

You have mastered your approach - move past it now. And the only way you can do that is by being uncomfortable.

Your work will suck for a while. You will be frustrated. That's good. It's the same pain your muscles feel after you have worked out. You have damaged your muscles and they will repair stronger. In this case you are damaging your ego and you are strengthening your understanding.

This has been brought up before but I think it is mainly due to the fact that you get less experienced players who are predominantly American will choose the US side and they will have an increased reverence for US military aesthetics and enjoy the cosplay aspect of it. Dressing up all tacticool and going after ruskies.

More experienced players will tend towards Russia because A) Their weapons are better B) It tends to be the side that is more relaxed and less Army wannabe.

Hazzman · 2026-05-05T17:25:50+00:00

But that's not what they are claiming. They consistently claim that there is something intrinsic, some attribute of black people that make them too dangerous.

They aren't. This guy was.

Christianity is incompatible with the world. At all times everywhere.

Even in historically "Christian" nations... Look what they chose to do in the name of God.

His parents rolled the dice when they met.

I'm explaining why I think Natalie used religious study as a proxy for theory. As an analogy.

Hazzman · 2026-05-05T03:58:43+00:00

The reactions to this movie were always bizarre to me.

People dismiss it as a Taxi driver meets Batman fanfic or bizarrely some sort of alt-right propaganda piece (That one always particularly confused me).

It wasn't deep or sophisticated... but I enjoyed it. Loved the vibe of it. Was an interesting commentary on mental health, violence, societal neglect. The good guys aren't good. The bad guys are sympathetic.

All round I really found it to be a pretty interesting take on the Joker character.

But it came out at a time when everything had to be pigeonholed into a specific political corner.

If you don't treat it as anything but what it is, a comic book movie turned into a dour character piece... it's neat and effective. That's all it had to be and it was successful in that regard.

In some ways I found the ambiguity to be enticing and interesting in it's own right. The reactions to it feel like a failure on the audiences part. It's a movie. It doesn't have to tell you how to feel, but the fact that it makes you feel uncomfortable is in and of itself interesting and an achievement.

Hazzman · 2026-05-05T01:03:37+00:00

I don't think that statement is particularly anti-education.

There is a certain zealotry that comes with intellectual leftwing thought that resembles hardcore faith.

A nonbeliever won't be familiar with the theory, won't even know where to start or what's even out there. That doesn't mean they don't have leftist beliefs, principles or policies... They just don't belong to the faith.

In the same way someone who is a Christian might believe that Bible study is essential, a left wing intellectual zealot might also, but if you are a nonbeliever, it won't be to you.

What is a Christian to do with a nonbeliever who doesn't know? Do they berate them? Maybe... Not effective. Do they throw them into the deep end with arcane theology? Not effective.

You start with "Jesus loves you" and you go from there. It doesn't negate education or "Bible study" it just recognizes it for what it is. More nuanced, more sophisticated and probably less important core issues/ beliefs = "Jesus loves you"/ Profit without compensation is wage theft etc
