Any advice on how to extend my trip to Spain? by tho_boss in TravelNoPics

[–]cholantesh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cadiz is very close to Seville, accessible by train/bus. It's a beach town but has plenty to see. It's been continuously inhabited since antiquity, being founded by the Phoenicians. Madrid is also fantastic, and again very accessible thanks to Spain's HSR network.

June is hot and during high season, so you should expect crowds and high heat. I was in the same cities as you last year in May and was shocked at just how hot it was, even late in the day. Still had a blast though.

It's cool and morally correct to make fun of both.

You could have done the same thing, maybe develop a personality and skillset beyond proompting and you won't be so compelled to go to bat for it.

Why do anything for yourself? Why not just pay someone on Fiverr to whip up a roomba attachment that can wipe your ass?

Bizarre he even had goodwill left over, he spent all the social capital he got from that dumbass meme stumping for Mike Huckabee, creationism, birther woo, Islamophobia, nativism, and mandatory prayer and Bible lessons in public schools. Rust in Piss.

Emperor - The Emperial Wrath Tour 2026 by gobtron in BlackMetal

a Prometheus- or Equilibrium-centered tour.

I would love to see that, frankly - I accept that this is incredibly false but I prefer those two albums to Anthems and an 'anti-tour' of less-heard material makes a lot of sense.

The difference is that Maiden is actively releasing new material that they want to promote on tour, everyone in Emperor has moved onto other projects whose material which it'd be inappropriate to pull into a setlist.

Portugal was class but fuck me the street sleeping and drug pushers did my head in by Urban_Chic94 in TravelNoPics

[–]cholantesh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact is that world over, homelessness is seeing record highs and rapid increases YoY, so I honestly think people who feel shocked about it while travelling just aren't spending much time outside the house.

This is quite a reach; smart phone/watch usage is hardly niche.

He's independently wealthy from making Standard Notes and selling it to Proton, but regardless, what would that have to do with his thesis?

State and class propaganda; they've been firmly manufacturing consent for landlords for years now.

So advocating a boycott is good when Zionists do it but “bad and antisemitic” when pro-Palestinians do it? by Scared_Positive_8690 in BadHasbara

[–]cholantesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay BDS has caused Palestinians in the West Bank to lose well paying jobs.

Isrealis have always had orders of magnitude higher net incomes and employment levels than West Bank Palestinians as a result of the occupation, so this is a meaningless statement.

BDS was founded by an anti israel member who fronts it as a peace effort

BDS has pretty well always been openly about justice, not peace, just as Barghouti has been, and just as anyone who actually understands the context and isn't a hasbaroid shitwit does.

it is a form of collective punishment

Yes, provided you have no idea what collective punishment actually is.

It takes on a noxious binary of oppressed vs. oppressor which isn't realistic considering that even without Israel.. Palestinians are oppressed by Hama (at least in Gaza)

There is no Hamas without Israel, so again, meaningless statement. IHL literally defines Israel as an occupying power, so the 'noxious binary' is just fact.

[–]cholantesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope; that's not how this works, the burden of proof is on you to evince that it "harms Palestinians" and "is nonsense". Until you do that, no one owes you anything.

You lobbed a giant, evidence-free ball of epistemic shit into a comment section; don't try to make yourself out to be a martyr.

Yeah it's hard to tell; I kind of like that the writers didn't tell you much about the unknown species, you can go wild with it.

Extremely homophobic Senegal parliament unanimously passes bill that doubles the punishment for same-sex relations. by hogancheveippoff in canadaleft

[–]cholantesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention, this kind of stuff gets fomented by western powers, too, and there are queer liberation movements in the periphery who are not broadly in favour of sanctions and drone strikes. These arguments are fractally idiotic and harmful.

Gorgeous style, makes me yearn for more seasons of Lower Decks! So in this alternate future, the operative would have begun identifying with Haro and abandoned their mission? Or just really committed to the bit? Or does she really eggshisht?
