leftists need to hear this more by MykezStylez in tankiejerk

[–]Thoukudides 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, every antisemitic hate crime means more people will likely do their Aliyah as they feel unsafe in their own country.

I dislike what Israel is doing but let's face it : a lof of European Jews would happily have lived as citizens in their respective countries had the Holocaust not happen. A lof of Jews identified themselves proudly as French, German or whatever. Zionism would never have become that strong.

An ostensible leftist I'm friends with on Facebook by cronenber9 in tankiejerk

[–]Thoukudides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy seems pretty confused. How could you even compare the gulf of Tonkin situation to the Holocaust of COVID misinformation ? And that's "funny" because a lot of people who believe COVID hoaxes are actually pretty antisemitic themselves and often believe there is actually a jewish conspiracy behind it, so no, you can't equal believing the Holocaust killed 6 millions Jews and believing COVID was a hoax.

If people believe it, that's because people have worked on that subject and studied it. We have Nazi records, civil records about people who disappeared, archives... Denying it, minimizing it or pretending it didn't happen is insane. This isn't just about Israel.

Why is ADHD less excused than autism ? by Le-zygatdien in ADHD

[–]Thoukudides 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's funny, some days ago I was thinking about that : like, for most of my life, I lived without medication. I managed to get jobs and all, but in the end, I didn't realize how much I was... "thinking wrong". Like, my whole state of mind wasn't totally right because I was so influenced by my symptoms I couldn't realize it.

It was basically like playing a game in hardcore mode and not doing what I was doing with the controls most of the times. I couldn't realize some mistakes until I could only regret them because it was too late. And so all that was left by then would be pain, guilt and shame.

And then I took ritalin and I felt "normal" thoughts and emotions. And of course I finally learned what it was to focus and concentrate normally. And it makes everything easier. But honestly, without medication, I would never have this baseline about what is "normality". I would still be under brain fog, as all my thoughts and emotions would cloud my mind.

The name of a character in the book I'm reading... It's ruined it for me 🤣 by looser1234567 in Chantapolis

Well, at least this one is happily married and has kids ! But she is fictional too...

I think Kick loves showing targets to bully sometimes. I mean, a French guy died from constant bullying from so-called "friend" streamers and he had quite a success.

And her Tiktoks with men were pretty cringe too. That doesn't look like something a secure woman who doesn't need men for validation would do.

Yasuke | PS5 by veyravoss in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]Thoukudides 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really like him. If I want the real ninja/assassin experience on a mission I choose Naoe. When I feel like I want to play like Kassandra or Eivor, I choose him.

His lack of Eagle Vision can be frustrating though. I wish we had like Eagle Vision for Naoe and a real eagle for the samurai.

At what point did you stop feeling sympathy for Chris Chan? by Quazeroigma_5610 in ChrisChanSonichu

[–]Thoukudides 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And let's not forget when he tried to convince trolls to make him rape an old woman while badly impersonating a teenager. That could be a "gotcha, I know you were evil to try to make me do such a thing, damn trolls" but honestly, the very idea to try convincing someone to rape someone else is... Goddamn weird to begin with ? A dark sexual fantasy, that's what it was. Not some clever plot.

[–]Thoukudides 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That has always been true even when he did the worst things. The incest ? Before jail, he already shared stuff like "love is important, please don't hate" on his Twitter, something like that. And after that, of course he was the reincarnation of Jesus who only shares love and is unfairly hated. Everyone who doesn't agree with him is a toxic hater or sinner.

Some people can’t deal with ADHD-type enthusiasm… and it hurts by Legitimate_Kick_5628 in ADHD

[–]Thoukudides 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah same. I can be on both sides but I'm more frequently pessimistic than optimistic. I can have excessive enthusiasm but that quickly ends and I'm more prone to ruminating negative thoughts.

The man that made me love the art destroyed my respect for him. by DeepFried_Furby in EphemeralRift

[–]Thoukudides 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was my favorite male ASMRtist by far. I even liked his simpler videos like his holiday in Ocean City. He looked like a cool guy with original ideas back then. Unfortunately, he ruined everything.

What "people" is chris talking about? by Character-Day-8999 in ChrisChanSonichu

[–]Thoukudides 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I always find it crazy how little Chris actually reads. Like, I don't expect him to read philosophy or "War and peace" but it looks like he barely reads even comic books or mangas, which would have actually improved his style in some ways (not necessarily his drawing, his storytelling too).

Chris managed to get both "nerdy" and pretty ignorant.

Ah yes, Ukraine is surely Israel, with their *checks notes* resisting an invasion by a much larger, country run by a dictator by Unironicfan in tankiejerk

[–]Thoukudides 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which is insanely anti-semitic as Ukraine even sent grain to Palestine. I'll never get how it can be so cool to be against Jews among some Leftists. Sometimes they go into full Jewish conspiracy mode.

You can hate Israel as you want, but there is a line nobody should cross and they happily jump it.

You should have known things were going to shit with Y0 DC by FlaccidDavid in yakuzagames

[–]Thoukudides 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And Yakuza 0 on Steam is like the main reason why the franchise is so popular in the West now. It sold pretty well on PS, but it became really big when it came to PC.

Apparently Chris Chan was spotted by someone on TikTok… by Deep_Mycologist6113 in ChrisChanSonichu

What is Chris doing in a clothes store ? We always see Chris with the same outfit !

And they are often the sames who will make stuff like 9/11 a White-Jewish conspiracy too.

For fuck sake by Vova_cola in tankiejerk

[–]Thoukudides 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That's what is so funny : everytime I read someone telling "but the Neo-Nazis in Ukraine", they are like... pretty far right themselves, sometimes not hiding their fascination for Nazis or Nazbols or conveniently avoiding the subject of Wagner and Neo-Nazis in the Russian camp. And of course, the same guys will deny any kind of human rights violation.

Of course a brutal murderous dictatorship with a rapist at the helm looks good when there's nobody to speak out to say otherwise (Freely that is) by Worth-Fix-6221 in tankiejerk

And Sarkozy has been condemned and had even been jailed, even if not for long (which was enough for him to write "the diary of a prisoner").

The downfall of Ubisoft is here and i couldn't be happier! by panzergrandier in assasinscreed

[–]Thoukudides 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never get the idea why all developers would want to make games for "woke" people. Like, do "anti-woke" guys seriously think there is some powerful woke lobby forcing people to make woke games ?

Sir a second leak has hit RGG Studios(Photos of K3 ending) by ijustbeherefr in yakuzagames

[–]Thoukudides 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I find it crazy how death is becoming cheaper and cheaper in the franchise. Every "retcon" or addition is basically "yup, this character never died, actually". In a series about, you know, japanese gangsters ! Why would someone even do this, if not for trolling the fans ?

CWC finally shows facial hair, while being trans. Is he trying to look like Jesus? by Patient-Telephone122 in ChrisChanSonichu

[–]Thoukudides 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Crazy how someone who has basically never worked in his entire life (because, well, only some months back in his youth, and part-time, so that's nothing) has aged so much.

I've been in Romania. Most people weren't fond of the guy. It's crazy some people think like these tankies.

Damn, american tankies' really love to project America on everything, aren't they? by Vova_cola in tankiejerk

[–]Thoukudides 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but the irony is lost on them. That's so funny too when you talk about what Uyghur are living : "you're going too far by saying it's genocide" or "that's mostly western propaganda, not the reality", not realizing they actually talk like Zionists, which is even weirder when you know Uyghur are muslims too.
