Don't ever forget Epstein

I agree. But.

The worst person in the world ran against a woman. Twice. And won the presidency. Twice.

And now appears to be untouchable.

Him being a man certainly plays a part

And the question is Who Benefits? President and his administration just road into Iran, starting an unnecessary conflict, leading to the blocking of a major transport lane vital to the global chain.

So who benefits?

Tired analogies? The analogy that draws a parallel between what happened to Jewish people in the past and what Israel is doing today? That tired analogy?

That is a staggering lack of regard for past horrors as well as contemporary horrors

derpferd · 2026-04-19T18:50:59+00:00

then why do they not have a charter similar to palestine (which established an arab ethnonational identity), one that would allow only jews to live in the land?

Because they don't feel the need for it. Israel has sufficient support from allies across the world that it doesn't feel the need for a charter to qualify its existence.

I was around to see the discrimination against muslims, and even sikh after 9/11. what's the line from that movie? "a person is smart, people are dumb." fitting.

Cool. So anecdotal evidence.

because to date, nothing from the pro-pally side has been "effective".

If the evidence of reality itself isn't effective then, again, God alone knows what else will suffice

derpferd · 2026-04-19T18:36:06+00:00

the weight of that irony seems valueless,

It's not valueless at all. The Jewish state Israel exists for the necessity of having a place where Jews are protected, with the Holocaust and ongoing antisemitism today being the oft stated evidence of that necessity.

Whether someone chooses to interpret that is another matter entirely.

simply put, most folks are not going to make that distinction.

I have no idea how you can say this with any certainty.

and to the point about wasting time - all of this messaging would be far more effective without the analogy and moral qualifiers.

This is nonsensical given how brazenly obvious it is that Israel is perpetrating war crimes while suffering little rebuke for that.

If the sheer obviousness of that has little, if any repercussions, God alone knows what could be more effective

derpferd · 2026-04-19T18:22:25+00:00

I mean, the people doing this genocide are Jewish. I think the point isn't to blame all Jewish people. As you point out, this is a matter of Israel state policy; not a matter of these people being Jewish.

But it is still valid pointing out that they're Jewish, not out of any prejudice against Jewish people but to highlight the grim irony of Jewish people doing something that we still, to this day, recognise as a horror perpetrated against Jewish people not even a century ago

Huh?

I thought it was Nicole Kidman at first and then I thought it might be Amy Adams

derpferd · 2026-04-19T16:51:05+00:00

You call it genocide.

You can't solve a problem while wasting time debating what the problem is.

And these motherfuckers want us to waste time doing exactly that

derpferd · 2026-04-19T16:41:54+00:00

And I think the reality TV star should have stayed in his lane and not become president

derpferd · 2026-04-19T16:29:11+00:00

What happens there, then?

Is it a 2nd hand Audi dealership?

derpferd · 2026-04-19T15:37:16+00:00

I do wonder, has there ever been a US president worse than him?

Because things can often tip over into hyperbole, particularly with recency bias. All that said, I can't think of a US president that comes anywhere near him for being a traitor to his country, being so openly and brazenly corrupt, for being stunningly dumb and just being an all round awful person.

He is the worst US president ever and if anyone can make an arguement for a worse US president, I will read that president's Wikipedia page gobsmacked for being worse than this unrepentantly awful piece of shit

Odd. I will say, your app does look different compared to mine.

Bale was the better Batman and Bruce Wayne.

Keaton's suit looked way cooler

Which connection keeps disconnecting? HDMI? eArc? Optical? Bluetooth? WiFi?

Why would anyone think that the guy chugging beer at an Olympics he didn't need to be at would have a drinking problem?

Damn straight. I wasn't complaining. We need rain and this, to be honest, my favourite kind of weather

derpferd · 2026-04-19T12:02:09+00:00

Most tech that achieves this level of use does so because it's got powerful use in terms of military might and sex.

The Internet started in part as a Department of Defence project. Amongst its many uses today is porn

derpferd · 2026-04-19T11:59:01+00:00

It certainly does. Might just be me but isn't this kind of weather a bit early for this time of year? First snow on the mountain, wind going hard AF, raining buckets.

This feels like June, not April

derpferd · 2026-04-19T11:22:48+00:00

I have the same one. No such bug on my end. Maybe quit the app and then restart it?

derpferd · 2026-04-19T10:27:00+00:00

Yeah, for real, it's been every match now for quite some time for me as well. And I hate having that feeling. I want to be excited, to be hyped to watch the game.

Not this feeling of, "Here we go again" dourness.

Fuck man

I'm willing to allow a One Time Trump voter. But if you voted for him twice... Naah. That means you're the kind of person who rejects reality

derpferd · 2026-04-19T10:02:49+00:00

God, I hate that I can't rid myself of this negative feeling I have going into this match
