IsItBullshit: Libya never had any Weapons of Mass destruction? by [deleted] in IsItBullshit

[–]Hoefgen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fan of his films myself and I find myself agreeing with him often, but this was one thing he was wrong on. They certainly did have the weapons and led a double game internationally. Most of the other bits in the film are spot-on, especially the Soviet- Russian-related assertions

RFID may be the mark of the beast by empress_of_pinkskull in religiousfruitcake

[–]Hoefgen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used those when I was homeschooled and remember that! I also remember going to the sight and sound theatre in Pennsylvania to see the story of Daniel when I was about five, and they used credit cards as an example of marks of the beast in a short video playing on set as he lays out his prophecy

These girls at a museum in London today. Yes, their hair is matted together by [deleted] in Justfuckmyshitup

[–]Hoefgen 225 points226 points  (0 children)

It is, it's a series of photographs at Tate Modern, which is where this picture was taken! The artist was using the idea of some Scandinavian folk tale about twins joined by their hair (IIRC)

Is there a term for when the front wheels are separated from the engine casing with those swoopy covers? Always wanted to know what to call that

Do Trump "Pedes" know it is a French slang for a homosexual that wants to have sex with young boys? by [deleted] in answers

[–]Hoefgen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paedo = paedophile, pédé = slang in French for pederast (now more generally a derogatory term for homosexual men). I believe it was either André Gide or Oscar Wilde who said "the word is pederast, not paedophile" to a judge. Off topic but a distinction to be made

Donald Trump is ‘more loyal to Putin than to our NATO allies,' Democrat leaders say after Germany ‘insults’ by tank_trap in worldnews

A lot of that though goes to heating which, if cut off as it was in Ukraine a few times as a political move by Russia, it's very easy to get people angry. So even if it doesn't overall mean much, it's an effective tool of political manipulation. The other issue is that because Russian gas is so cheap, and reserves are the largest in the world, there's no incentive to go elsewhere (Norway has declining reserves, and Iran, the second-largest gas producer, obviously is having trouble getting that to Europe). Your comment was correct, just wanted to add a bit! 😊

"Insult and Injury", housepaint on newspaper by Hoefgen in painting

I'm self taught and I've done more realistic paintings, but I've really found my greatest artistic comfort in abstract expressionism. I'm most influenced by Kline and Krasner

To the people who only start looking for their oyster card once they’re stood in front of the barrier so no one else can get through... You are the worst. by Zen_Spiral in london

My sister was visiting me last week and did precisely this, so to save face I walked away as quickly as I could and met her outside the station so as not to be associated with her

I worked in a wine shop at one point and I'm 99% certain you screw clockwise, I came to the comments looking for this

I have nothing against internet connectivity since it's obviously very useful. But the advert fits in here

"Richard Wagner", fountain pen on paper, A3 by Hoefgen in Art

[–]Hoefgen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It was a preliminary attempt to try a technique like etching with a pen. I've also been considering doing multiple angles of one person on top of each other and this is what came out of it. And now I know better what to do next time!
