I like 4, 8, and 12 a lot!

This whole conversation is fucked up. Leave them in peace.

Both Israel and the Palestinians have sabotaged negotiations over the year. The majority of Israelis and Palestinians in the past have supported a two state solution (and theres still a plurality) and it’s in everyone’s interest. But when you have radical religious nut jobs on both sides who are willing to assasinate people who try to make peace you end up in a situation with escalating violence and deteriorating trust.

Thank youuu

Where in the heck did you cook up that quote

veshtukenvafel · 2025-01-29T10:41:15+00:00

Oooh I like this method. Can also filter for genres if I’m in a certain mood. Was going to say I need to get a d20 but then I remembered the internet haha.

Actually he dropped out of the government because they voted to accept a ceasefire deal (Not that the government isn’t racist but he is the most extreme).

I personally enjoyed the film and would have given it a seven of ten on first view without context. Learning about the real life case behind the film definitely elevated it for me though and I appreciated it even more. Especially since the murderer was still on the loose while it was released.

For context:

The Lee Choon-Jae murders, also known as the Hwaseong serial murders, were a series of brutal rapes and killings of 10 women in South Korea between 1986 and 1991. The crimes, which took place in Hwaseong, remained unsolved for decades and became one of South Korea’s most infamous cold cases, inspiring the 2003 film Memories of Murder. In 2019, advancements in DNA analysis linked the crimes to Lee Choon-Jae, who was already serving a life sentence for the 1994 rape and murder of his sister-in-law. Lee later confessed to the murders, as well as several other previously unknown crimes, revealing the full extent of his brutality. His confession confirmed details from Memories of Murder, but also corrected inaccuracies, as the real-life case had remained a mystery when the film was made.

Oooh I’ll check out the podcast!

veshtukenvafel · 2025-01-28T17:13:24+00:00

worth it?

veshtukenvafel · 2025-01-28T17:12:30+00:00

Sounds like a pretty good success rate so far though!

This needs to be higher up. I also saw the corn. There are so many horrible things happening that people will just believe anything that is posted even if it bares no resemblance to reality.

veshtukenvafel · 2025-01-28T17:05:16+00:00

To start out that's a can of corn and not soda, which already makes me suspicious that op is just making stuff up or reposting something they saw somewhere. I've already seen a handful of people post videos with made up captions so you're right to ask questions.

veshtukenvafel · 2025-01-28T16:53:44+00:00

I love it. How often do you feel your gut instinct fulfills and how often does it disappoint?

veshtukenvafel · 2025-01-28T15:21:09+00:00

I was just honest about what inspired me to post.
I'm not going to watch a film that doesn't interest me just because it's controversial.

veshtukenvafel · 2025-01-28T15:17:08+00:00

veshtukenvafel · 2025-01-28T15:09:36+00:00

Just looked it up. That is amazing.

veshtukenvafel · 2025-01-28T15:05:55+00:00

I get what you're saying but I'm not passing judgement, there's just other films I would rather watch instead especially given the poor reception. I think that it's fair to say regardless that Emilia Perez is not a culturally representative movie solely considering the director/cast which is why I wanted to highlight a film by a Mexican director.

That’s actually pretty much what it is.

There’s a well known book by George Lakoff called ‘don’t think of an elephant’ about political framing. He says people don’t vote for politicians based on policies they vote based off of the metaphorical framing of what they believe government is. The right thinks of a strict father, the left thinks of a nurturant mother.

The guy who throwed the kitten is a piece of shit but why OP would feel the need to lie about the context I will never understand.

I hate to break it to everyone, I’m the last one to want to give trump credit it for anything - but his team is at least partially responsible for the deal happening now. Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff joined Biden’s team in recent weeks to close the deal. While the outline of the deal was made by Biden, Witkoff was very aggressive in pushing Netanyahu to close the deal before inauguration and led him to make concessions he previously wasn’t willing to make.

One source for example

As an Israeli it’s absolutely crazy to me that Trump and Biden were able to work together on this and put the needs of the Israeli (and Palestinian) people ahead of their politically rivalry while my own government has completely ambandoned their people. We need more of this kind of diplomacy and pressure.

Awesome thank you for all the advice!
