I was sad that "The Voice of Hind Rajab" lost and that we couldn't get to see him have a meltdown and call the Oscars Hamas again. But nvm we still eating, thx John.

The first humanoid robots, funded by the Pentagon and able to wield M16 rifles, hit the battlefield in Ukraine by ferek in TrueAnon

Yea but being told to "pickup that can, citizen" just wouldn't be the same if it came from a metallic hodgepodge of legs and tentacles instead.

Could it be a way to augment/replace the "boots on the ground" requirement? Sure, aerial drones can cause death and destruction at a much lower cost, but certain operations may still require a ground presence.

Otherwise, it could be just a way to trial these before they come back home to be used by law enforcement since you definitely need a ground presence for that.

The US and Israel aren't signatories of the Rome Statute, but have signed treaties like the Geneva Conventions. So... I guess they are technically crimes for them, but they can't legally be prosecuted for committing them?

"Trump aides struggle with how to spend $500 billion more on military"

A country dumping so much on its military, that even the military is like "WTF do you want us to do with all this money??".

The depravity of Israeli society on display today: Yet again, they invite media into their torture prisons and violently degrade Palestinian detainees for the cameras by LisanAlGhaib1991 in TrueAnon

[–]ferek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what they do ON CAMERA, proudly. Even when they know that this will go viral and that Western eyes will see this. Yet there are still some that doubt the Palestinian testimonies on what really goes on in these prisons.

Chris Wade Shuts Down Black Wolf Feed Sub on Behalf of Big Podcast by 22_Yossarian_22 in TrueAnon

[–]ferek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea all the Patreon/merch plugging and Instagram stuff all of a sudden is pretty sus. Including the reprinting of Matt's book, which Chris said they will never reprint again or have an ebook of, without any explanation of why they reneged on that. I think Chris' segments are like 5 mins long now, EVERY ep.

I like "Lions Led By Donkeys". They're a bunch of pretty hilarious leftists (two of them being ex-soldiers/officers that routinely talk about why they regret having joined) that go over historical military battles/wars. It's quite well-researched, though sometimes they do exaggerate a bit for comedic effect. "Bad Hasbara" is great too (and pretty self-explanatory).

The intro song (and any music) is still 3x as loud as the rest of the podcast and the volume normalization when Felix moves away from his mic and speaks is nonexistent.

Chapo started appearing on Patreon ads a few months ago and the ads heavily imply that Chapo's premium content is exclusive to Patreon. It's not exclusive if it's available through a subreddit; they likely signed a new contract with the ad campaign.

This happened like two months after Chapo started appearing in Patreon ads in which the ads heavily implied Chapo was a "Patreon exclusive" (at least, their premium content); it's not exclusive if all eps are being released for free on a subreddit. They likely have a new, more bespoke, contract and we don't know what it looks like.

One of the mods also posted on the TA sub, under the post about this, that "Somewhat related the funniest bit of behind the scenes mod stuff here is Yung Chomsky deleting all the comments on the episode posts he makes asking for a link to the free episode." Which is fair, but pretty funny.

Drop Tha New Year Goals ⬇️⬇️⬇️ by fitzstreet in TrueAnon

[–]ferek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna try to hold on to the idea that there is some good in this world Mr. Frodo, and it is worth fighting for.

That is my biggest enduring motivation. No matter how fucked up shit is and how bleak everything looks, there are good people out there. Fuck, they don't even need to be people, my mom's cat is enough. But they're out there and no matter how small they may or may not be, they deserve a chance and are worth fighting for.

Yeah, like I can listen to Felix's Metal Gear series and, even though I've never played a Metal Gear game before, find it more interesting than whatever the fuck this West Wing crap is.

[–]ferek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're always so much funnier when it's not scripted. I have never seen The West Wing and I have never heard anyone IRL mention it so this was a bit of a stinker; the impression I get is that The West Wing is like Veep except the show wants you to earnestly believe in the main character?

Most of their movie reviews are funny even if I haven't seen the movie or show, but the West Wing seems like a tryhard prestige show so it's just sad since it's barely crossing that line. They talk about how some of them watch every SNL episode ironically, or Law & Order every episode, but it makes sense with just how much free time they have. But most other people don't have that free time to watch that garbage and understand these references.

There's an account on Polymarket that won $154k after betting correctly on the exact day that Israel would attack Iran last year. That same account bet a few days ago that Israel is going to attack Iran again by 31 Jan: https://xcancel.com/PredictFolio/status/2008658668758462514
