Newly declassified US intel claims Russia is laundering propaganda through unwitting Westerners
  • There's also plenty of it through entirely witting Westerners.

  • If you ask for "tea" at a restaurant, what happens and where do you live?
  • Here they tend to either ask you if you want green or black tea or bring you a box of lipton with various flavors and let you chose from that.

    And 9/10 chance it'll taste moldy AF.

    Tea isn't very common here.

  • The awkwardly adorable way seals move on land is called "galumphing"
  • Imagine how stupid we look to water dwellers with our methods of self propelled moving trough water.

    I bet the water fauna doesn't consider it swimming either and probably would have some funny name for it if they used a universal language.

  • The harmful ableist language you unknowingly use
  • In the valid to the discussion case you said something with no intent to harm or insult anyone and you didn't harm them, they decided you harmed them.

    In the case of a car accident, you literally fucking killed someone.

    It's Apples and Oranges, a false equivalence argument that goes straight into the trash.

  • I have been known to seek out "fanart" of the forbidden kind
  • See how they behave around Karlach and she's only like 6ft.

  • The harmful ableist language you unknowingly use
  • Intent is everything and if someone is clearly not using a word with the intent to offend you, you being offended is a YOU problem, not a them problem.

    And before you go say shit like able people can't know how bad it feels.

    1, I'm not "abled".
    2. I've had people call me these words meaning to offend and hurt me. THAT actually does hurt. These words being used without any intention to hurt or offend anyone, doesn't matter to me at all.

    And sometimes, using those words to offend is perfectly appropriate to express what you want to convey.

    Like how many Americans have absolutely retarded levels of overblown reactions with a word like cunt.

  • You know what moment has always bugged me in Star Trek Enterprise?
  • The scariest thing is when escalators malfunction.

    At least with an elevator you'll either drop to your death or the brakes kick in making you just stuck for a few hours.

    But an escalator, that's a cheese grater powered by a motor strong enough to lift dozens of people up a flight of stairs.

  • He became the first Black mayor of a rural Alabama town. Then a white minority locked him out
  • I seriously doubt appealing to the 80 year old, old money, white woman governor of Alabama who has a MAGA track record going as far as pushing the stolen election scam will bare any positive results.

  • "Zelensky takes a lot of photos with soldiers? Military dictatorship!"
  • And here I was thinking it's refreshing the man, while being offered safe harbor by Europe and the US, stays in the thick of things.

    I can't even imagine how many times they've tried to kill him by now. And he sticks with the program.

  • Donald Trump declared "rightful king" of US by white nationalist
  • I somewhat get people thinking having a good king is better than a bunch of quibling politicians, but kings weren't all powerful and the quibling politicians in their day were still the ones that actually ran the show.

    And if you're going to chose a king, why chose orange painted generic loudmouth manchild number 5322.

  • Baldur's Gate 3 players continue to find little surprises: Astarion has rare voice lines if you nuke him with a sun ray
  • You need to take some things into account.

    Without any influence, Astarion is a lying manipulative asshat.

    You catch Astarion on the second or third night sleeping with him in your camp, as far as I found, never on the first.

    That fucker succeeded previously, It's just that THIS time you woke up.

  • It's Saturday. I haven't eaten since Tuesday morning. Not by choice. (Long rant.)
  • Even a couple of bites is sufficient to severely boost your energy though.

    And still having "some" intake of vitamins will probably help too.

    You're clearly going trough a health crisis and getting severely weakened by not being able to eat is only going to make things progressively worse.

  • Carlos Santana apologizes for anti-trans comments he made during a recent concert
  • I love when erectile dysfunction is brought up whenever these freaks bring up how God made them.

  • Hell freezes over as Apple supports right-to-repair bill
  • It's most likely mostly that they'll have to sway that way no matter if they like it or not in Europe and they aren't going to make different phones for the different markets, so they flip the PR machine towards pretending THEM coming up with supporting right to repair, instead of being forced to by the EU.

  • [Solved] I'd like to switch from chrome, but all of my auto fill, and payment info.
  • What doesn't get imported by Firefox automatically can be downloaded from your google account directly. Every single bit of data they have on you.

  • It's so important to keep this in mind.
  • And HR people can never be trusted to be on your side on any issue. Never, ever confide in an HR person, getting rid of you in some way is always the easiest solution to any problem.

    Only when you first take outside council and then go to HR through them, do you have some sort of protection from getting swept under the rug.

  • New video shows Philadelphia Police officer shot Eddie Irizarry within seconds of getting out of patrol car
  • If that is all you've taken out of seeing human history and haven't seen a trend directly related to the use and intake of heavy metals and the sort, and in the modern age the difference between murder rates in the US, by population and police, compared to the rest of the western world, you haven't seen nearly enough of human history to understand anything.

    Historically, the prevalence of just lead on its own boosted the aggression and sociopathic behavior of the population to ludicrous extents and these days, when that should be very little of a factor, the US still far outranks anyone else on the same developmental level by obscene levels.

    It's a combination of the US being sucky about environmental pollution and having a serious societal problem with police being murderous asshats and people being OK with it.

  • New video shows Philadelphia Police officer shot Eddie Irizarry within seconds of getting out of patrol car
  • Is that the human condition or the prevalence of heavy metals in everything ...

    Interesting how people chilled down worldwide the more we took those elements out of the food supply and are only more common in areas where the standards about heavy metals and other environmental pollutants are shit.

    And for the western world, the US is an outright aberration, from general murder rates to how specifically the police are 10-20x more probable to murder people over absolutely nothing than anywhere else in the west.

    Fuck, even Mexico has a lower deaths by police rate per capita than the US. And they are constantly at war with the cartels.
