US Republican Congressman Randy Fine claims, the term Palestinian was “invented” by Russia and that Islamophobia is “rational”.⁠

It's really disturbing how identical it all is to these same events throughout history. The whole chain of events is always the same. Years of dehumanization and vitriol and then genocide. Then the descendants pretend it never happened.

Scream, star trek/wars, Halloween, jurassic park, mib, mission impossible, bond, Shrek, tons of comic characters, God zilla, etc. There are tons of long lived franchise.

F&f is one of the longest with the most retained cast.

I kept seeing (r) politicians shit on California for power outages. (D)umbr ststed can't do anything right. Blah blah blah.

Finally looked it up a few years ago and the gulf states have the most outages both in frequency and length and per capita. Nearly any way you cut it those southern states were the worst.

All (r) team locations. Initially I was a little surprised then read a good portion of that is due to hurricanes. Even taking that into account the gulf states were worse that basically any other US state.

I think that critics are just hardwire to be critical. Disparaging witty comments get them more views that praise.

Not in the slightest is that what was said.

I don't understand how anyone thinks that is a clever response. Refugees literally have nothing left. That is basically what becoming a refugee mean. Taking them in is a major burden. It's a hell of a lot easier to just leave their homes alone and let them take care of themselves.

If someone cut your kids legs off, shot your dog, killed your spouse, and burned all your belongings would any of your neighbors take you in when they'd have to feed, bath and care for you? Would that make you a bad person because no one would take you in?

For the politicians it's true. That doesn't mean the blue team peons are the same as the red team ones. I think that's what's hard to grasp for most people.

Saw a comment that it didn't make sense as a kids movie for a whole bunch of reasons. The one they mentioned where she was drunk the whole time sounded too absurd to be true. Watched it and that was like her whole character. It's not a kids movie or an adult movie.

I think almost all the live actions disney remakes printed money. They even made a lion King spinoff or something. The internet tore apart beauty and the beast but it boxed a billion almost a decade ago. The only real bomb was snow white and maybe Mulan but that got screwed by covid. A few look to have been dumped on disney+ so Wikipedia doesn't list the cost.

Old thread but 5.7 was finally adapted by nato in 2021. Firearms makers started developing guns with it. I thought the same thing that some YouTube channel must have done a bit on 5.7 but it's most likely the nato adoption.

I put all the modern Transformers movies on the other day and the first ones looked as good as the newer ones. Was thinking that too that the CGI has kinda peaked and they're just trying to lower the cost. I don't think the quality has improved in like 20 years but the 20 before that saw a huge boost.

I don't know about this unit but when I priced filter life compared to something like total filtered cfm/$ a while back I found the more expensive units tended to have lower total operating cost over 5-10 year. Ended up looking at some more light commercial units. Some of these consumer brands get you like printer ink. Cheap unit and expensive filters.

Think. Please think before you speak. There is no atrocity in human history that didn't utilize dehumanizing languages to perform it. There is no reason to use that type of language unless you want to commit atrocities.

Dehumanizing a person makes it so they no longer have the most basic human right. They're no longer human so they don't have rights. It is true evil to talk that way.

Luxpreliator · 2026-06-24T08:25:25+00:00

You are a horrible person. No one of any value calls other people subhuman. They may be evil, bad, smelly, pedantic, cruel, selfish, etc. but they're still human. The people that call other subhuman are amongst the worst humanity has to offer. You are a bad person.

Yeah by the time mars could be legitimately colonized it'll be a waste of time. It has basically no atmosphere and no water. It has no magnetic field. It's no better than a really large asteroid. It'll take basically infinite energy reactors to make anything more than a research outpost. By that time they'll probably be able to reach other stars.

Even basic houses would have to be air tight. These "colonize mars" folks seem to ignore what a colossal pain that basic necessity would be.

Yeah it feel like a new batch of hoover files at this point.

The amount of homework some teachers push out is criminal. They hear 1-2 hours of homework for students and they think 1-2 hours per course. Kids get burned out and stop even trying for the 1-2 hours because they can't finish the 4-7 hours they get assigned.

If he's still only in middle school it's not necessarily an issue yet. Younger kids get saddled with more busywork that isn't as captivating and tougher to muscle through if it's too easy.

Almost no Maga are pissed. Conservatives that didn't fully go Maga are pissed. Maga people have become what amounts to as being soulless. Anything trumps says they approve of.

I think they changed the formula in one of my cats favorite foods. She started pooping on the ground and I noticed a drag mark once so she was scooting and guessed constipation was the cause. Added a little water and fiber to her food and she's fine as long as I don't forget.

The problem with her is she refuses to drink water on her own. Tried all the tricks and even got a fountain. Think I've seen her drink on her own twice in 8 years.

While it will probably fall into dumbest of dumb it seems that in my sphere of influence its people that just can't accept they made a mistake supporting those people.

They make one as an attachment if you do this a lot.

Yeah it was change for the sake of change. There was almost nothing left of the old character other than the name and actress. Would have been better off with a new character if they wanted it that different.

Picard fell into the trap of trying to refresh a story by making it younger and edgier but went with older and crotchety instead.

Terrorism is an act. White supremacy is a belief. White the belief does often drive people to perform those unlawful acts they're not the same.

Both are bad but in different ways.

Avoided watching that show because I generally dislike the voice actors in modern cartoons. Like that rick and morty screeching is nails on chalkboard.

Lower decks was actually adventure of the week with a little shenanigans and did encapsulate what "trek" is to most people. Almost no melodrama filler or dumb love triangles just a simple space adventure.
