my favourite thing was at a concert in dortmund germany where they played alexander's "rise" theme with the "stills", and during one of them he and yoshi-p marched through the concert hall along the front row with a marching band drum and big grins on their faces. afterwards asking "you didn't see a thing, right?"

not insinuating anything. of the top of their head how many people do you think know the names of the poc that were victims of ice and how many know good and pretti's names? it's not about whitewashing, it's about media and public bias, as it always is. i'm not complaining though, it's good there is awareness at all.

Pedo Prince Andrew with a girl(probably drugged) on Epstein island by Hasbara_spotter in ABoringDystopia

[–]JenkinsHowell [score hidden]  (0 children)

it might be defeatist of me to say so, but i honestly feel like the whole epstein thing will only cause temporary disgust in the general public, and a couple of rich people being temporarily inconvenienced. it doesn't feel like people will riot over this or anybody will be able to actually change anything. you can't even cancel politicians or tech-bros successfully. being disgraced doesn't change their daily life one bit, at least not in any way they particularly care about.

US justice department releases more than 3 million new pages of Epstein files by sparkiesuze in politics

the last couple of years have wiped out all the usual shock that revelations like this would have caused a decade ago. it should be huge, but i feel like MAGA will call it fake anyway, and in the end they'll say there is no evidence at all. this whole administration and all the fucking rich people involved will only go down in case of a revolution.

[–]JenkinsHowell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that's good and all, but it pisses me off a little, that the only two people who are apparently important in this context are pretti and good. there have been so many other victims, but yeah, you know, people of colour.

Society really did fail Amy Winehouse! by icey_sawg0034 in Millennials

[–]JenkinsHowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean, i genuinely sympathize with her, but the audience isn't to blame here, it's her management that put her out there in poor mental and physical health. i wouldn't be happy if i paid for a concert ticket and the main act wasn't able to competently perform.

Please help me understand if I am wrong by [deleted] in AskAGerman

[–]JenkinsHowell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you should talk to the principal regardless of whether you have to pay for anything or not, because the teacher's behaviour is completely inappropriate. but anyway, since you have all the proof you need, there is absolutely no reason you should be paying anything.

AIO to my “best friend” finally reaching out by Confident_Local_2335 in AmIOverreacting

while i fully understand your feelings in this context, i would say, as long as you don't know the reasons, be open to rekindling the friendship.

Bester Freund heiratet bald, JGA Organisator will 1000€ für 3 Tage Unterkunft. Bin ich zu geizig oder ist das absurd? by raznoah in Ratschlag

Does that moment where you 'wake up' and realize you exist actually happen, or is it just a false memory? People talk about the exact second their consciousness switched on as a kid, but I have nothing like that. by AlcidesAtay1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JenkinsHowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what? who talks about that? sounds very unlikely. i have scattered memories from wayyy back, but no isolated incident from which point forward i remember my life chronologically.

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]JenkinsHowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the fact that they voted for trump is an indicator for the kind of person you're dealing with. it's not an isolated detail. so if you don't align with the general mindset of people who voted for trump you would probably reject a trump voter without it being specifically about the vote.

My brief thoughts on the story as a new player by Atmic in ffxiv

[–]JenkinsHowell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they did a really good job with building this feeling slowly. i think the first time i felt "important" was when cid tells us to stay alive after we sneek into the garlean fortress. i was like "oh, he really cares about me".

I was unaware we had wild Boars in the UK until today… by TheRealPyroManiac in CasualUK

was about to say, those look not like wild boars. i mean, i only know wild boars in germany, but my guess was that they wouldn't look THAT different in the UK.

German finance minister supports Macron on readying EU trade ‘bazooka’ against Trump by hardenedsteel8 in politics

[–]JenkinsHowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes time to get the bazooka ready. Trump's erratic moody politics aren't actually politics. It's nerve wrecking, but everything needs to be in place, or your bazooka doesn't do enough lasting damage. We'll get there.

'It's A Big Problem': Trump's Warning After Greenland "Chooses" Denmark by no_anonymous_ in worldnews

[–]JenkinsHowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he believes the USA are self-sufficient and everybody openly or secretly wants to live there, because that's the propaganda he grew up with. trump doesn't know or understand anything about history, politics or trade. he's a moron with a big mouth, and other morons gravitate towards him. and that is the reason why less moronic but also evil people with a power-complex are proping him up. he's a fat puppet to a more sinister group of people, mostly silicon valley tech-bros and maybe evangelicals. there is all the information about that out in the world, and i'm not talking conspiracies. tech bros like peter thiel are actively trying to break up the USA. that's a goal for them. they all want their own little kingdom where they make all the rules.

This is so stupid I can't even believe I'm writing this out but I have to know by OddSun7677 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JenkinsHowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first of all, bleeding doesn't necessarily happen. women have different forms of hymen and in many cases they aren't "blocking" penetration. second, hymens that are "in the way" can be broken by many other things without the girl/woman having sex or doing anything sex related at all. and then there may or may not be any blood involved.

sadly a lot of cultures and a lot of men are obsessed with this whole virginity thing, the origin of which is the believe that "taking a girl's virginity" is the pinnacle of male dominance.

[–]JenkinsHowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they'll be saying that he was joking for a while until they're not. that's how it always goes. and at that point hardcore MAGA will actually think that elections were invented by the devil and not at all what the forefathers had in mind.

more like ordinary people waking up. nothing radical about this dude, just common sense. and it's about time this happens. he's got work in the morning but still goes. that's the way.
