GRAB YOUR SWORD, AND FIGHT THE HORDE! UNCLE LOTHAR WANTS YOU!

I fucking hope HTS does something instead of whatever the hell Afghanistan did

Regardless of how it turns out, there’s more reason for hope than in Afghanistan. HTS has unsavory roots, but was created as a step away from that.

My grandparents remembered playing Pong.

you shut your mouth right now

I’d never actually seen the original before XD

I dunno, it’s like, the instance admin has the right to trim the instance in a manner that cultivates the community they want to see. I’m legitimately not looking to start drama. I just don’t want to post on the midwest.social lotrmemes sub now. That’s the great thing about the Fediverse, decentralization and such.

If they want to make the migration, not only is that cool, that is amazing and not only will I happily mod the other comm’s mods, but step down from modding myself because honestly I mod too many communities as it is. But I’m not looking to make a case for abandoning the other lotrmemes sub, and I imagine most people will not have much interest in admin drama.

What about alone in the woods with a CEO, with no witnesses around?

and have full confidence.

I live to disappoint!

I’m holding you to that, I expect to see some more badly remade ancient vines in two-and-a-half hours.

11 has passed, and no badly remade ancient vines. I’ve been tricked, I’ve been backstabbed, and I’ve been, quite possibly, bamboozled.

Just some unease about midwest.social’s admins.

You mean terminally-online self-proclaimed ‘leftists’ embarrassing themselves by simping for an atrocity-committing dictator without the least interest in the welfare of his people, overthrown by his own people? Yes, I agree, this would seem to be the terminally online left’s Gaddafi all over again.

Yeah supporting IRA (sympatizers) is based /s

Supporting Sinn Fein is absolutely based, I love a good DemSoc party. As for the IRA, Republican paramilitaries were the least civilian-murder-happy of the sides in the Troubles, so while I wouldn’t express support for them, I’m also not going to automatically reach for condemnation for a paramilitary group that began in legitimate oppression and ended with good-faith peace negotiations.

Tried to grab a pervitin pill with his mittens to stay awake, couldn’t grab just one, so he just downed a handful, figuring it wouldn’t be THAT big a deal.

Man took 30 pills, his entire’s squads allocation, and completely blacked out. No memory of his journey, just operating on meth.

In Northern Ireland he supported “mixed” (i.e., Catholic and Protestant) child education. In 1991, he gave £8m to the Integrated Education Fund,[20] a grant-making charitable body which aims “to make integration, not separation, the norm in our education system”.[21] Queens University Belfast also received grants of more than £100m,[20] for capital projects, child education and medical research.[22]

More controversially, Feeney gave substantial personal donations to Sinn Féin, a left-wing Irish nationalist party that has been historically associated with the IRA.[14] Following the IRA ceasefire in 1994, he funded the party’s office in Washington D.C.[20]

Feeney supported the modernization of public-health structures in Vietnam,[18] AIDS clinics in South Africa, Operation Smile’s free surgeries for children with cleft lips and palates, earthquake relief in Haiti, and the UCSF Medical Center at the University of California at San Francisco.[8]

Jim Dwyer wrote in The New York Times that none of the one thousand buildings on five continents that were built with Feeney’s gifts of $2.7 billion bear his name.[1]

On September 14, 2020, Feeney closed down the Atlantic Philanthropies after the non-profit accomplished its mission of giving away all of its money by 2020.[25]

Immensely based

Most sources cite the ‘three days’ demanded by Guederian, but I’m almost positive I’ve read accounts of individual Nazi tankers go 5-6 days without sleep during the Battle of France. I’ll keep looking for the source on that.

“Jesus H. Christ” I presume.

Depends on their plans for the day after.

The photo is of a recent assassination of a healthcare CEO in charge of one of the worst insurance companies in the US (itself a low bar).

The text/UI template is from Skyrim, in which the protagonist uses voiced spells which reshape the world according to the meaning/arrangement of the words of the spell.

If you think this person is a “moderate” voter then you really, really haven’t been paying attention to what they’re actually saying.

And if you think this kind of person will embrace hardcore anti-capitalism because it’s against the status quo, you haven’t even done a cursory read of what they’re actually saying.

This person is the mythical moderate. The person who isn’t REALLY that dedicated, they just need to be given the right pretty words to vote for the other side. You know, exactly what you’ve been fucking saying. But any examination of the moderate voter reveals, as I mentioned, that such a concept, at least in electorally significant numbers, is mythical. These people absolutely have deeply-rooted beliefs and loyalties, those beliefs and loyalties are not pliable, as much as they pretend and loudly proclaim that they are and playing the Internationale isn’t going to convert them just because they claim to be dissatisfied with the status quo.
