It's 2024, do you still believe the narrative that China was doing a "secret genocide" (if you turn your gaze to Gaza you'll realise genocides aren't actually that easy to hide even when Isr*el tries their very best) and the only person to notice is a German homophobe funded by the US State Department named Adrian Zenz and he broke the news to every newspaper in the west, who proceeded to run the stories without fact checking anything?

My fucking god. I picked up a co-workers shift this afternoon because she received a relatively minor injury but would prefer not to work, and I was thinking it would be a regular Friday afternoon.
Half the other cafes, restaurants and pubs in the vicinity lost their card payment systems and some even their ability to take cash (windows OS cash registers I guess??).
We got away from issues because our boss is cheap and has a cheaper point of sale system with a cheaper bank and a cheaper cash regjster that apparently never bought whatever Office/CrowdStrike thing that causes instant, looping BSODs and so we were operating as normal.
Imagine the amount of people that come in because our shit was working.
There is a bit of humour that my particular small business tyrant boss being a stingy capitalist avoided the fallout of the large business tyrants being stingy capitalists.
I wonder if farm salmon that escape get the urge to swim back to the farm during spawning season
I like it. Idk the history or background of the American guy but if he's like a Filthy Frank style edgelord I'm pretty sure it's a good thing he's grown up and moved away from it.
As for the show itself, some of the messages aren't exactly bad. The video game executive that's sitting on an IP to not make new games with until nostalgia gets to the point where they can make them a DLC character for the Fortnite/Smash Bros stand in gets murdered on screen and that's the good ending. The TV executive that micromanages a TV show to maximise appeal and profit gets murdered in live TV and the entire crowd cheers. There's a scene of a worker with 6 arms stocking shelves while his boss is a guy with no arms, calling him slow and useless and threatening to fire him despite the fact that he's the only employee and does all the work.
If anything the show makes fun of edgy people, possibly as atonement, to the point where the antagonist of the week, the edgy nihilists, get humiliated in front of a crowd and get murdered. Another episode has this evil scientist who thinks the world is fucked and he can replace people with his own homunculi to create a better world and he's shown to be a socially inept NEET who lives in his brother's house rent free.
Edit: also, as for the McDonalds Rick and Morty viral video, that was staged. The guy hates Rick and Morty fans with a passion so he threw a public tantrum under the guise of a Rick and Morty fan to make them look bad. It's still cringe, but in a different way.
"Tankie" in the traditional sense of someone who uncritically supports the USSR in the handling of 1956's uprising? Probably not.
While Kruschev's use of tanks in 1956 was heavy handed, the Hungarian alliance with the Axis in WWII and participation of Operation Barbarossa, lingering fascist sympathisers and nationalists remained in Hungary.
This coupled with the Communist Party of Hungary's less than equitable redistribution of land/castles/other properties earlier in the 1950's (favouring giving properties to ranking CPH members instead of distributing it to the proletariat equally). This created resentment for the Party, and an image of the Communists as no better than the Monarchy that came before or the Fascists that came after.
The Hungarian uprising had elements of fascist sympathisers, monarchists, bourgeoisie, etc but also legitimate critics of the handling of the situation. It never should have come to that, and a more educated/self critical Communist Party in Hungary could have prevented things from getting that far. The people should have benefitted a lot more from a better redistribution of wealth.
The above issues coupled with Soviet distrust of Hungarians (since they did invade the Soviet Union in the 40's) led to a swift and harsh reaction towards the uprising, seeing it as just a reactionary revolt.
Now, am I a tankie in the Reddit redefinition, of anyone that critically supports Cuba, China, Vietnam and their style of government? Yeah, I suppose I am. This is no more radical a position than Malcolm X or the Black Panthers who also supported the late USSR, China and Cuba.
"People say my environmental policies are bad. But I am an environmentalist. How else do they explain my time fighting pollution as a youth? I served with Kwame, from Africa, with the power of Earth, from Eastern Europe, Linka, with the power of Wind, from Asia, Gi, with the power of Water... and from South America, Ma-Ti, with the power of Heart."
The adults in the room are praying for the US to collapse and balkanise ASAP. Even if Biden wins, the best case scenario for the world is for the US to die. Even if the Dems win the next 10 consecutive elections in a row, the US deserves to die.
Your country is an experiment based on "Hey what if we don't want to pay taxes to the British but are ok with building on stolen land with slave labour for the purposes of (some) white guys getting the ability to get extremely rich???"
Its a failed experiment. The best argument against the existence of a just god is that your nation has not been smote out of existence by the hand of the divine.
Tomorrow, if every politician, businessman and government agent that dictates how your country is run got amnesia, and every reference and memory of your laws, your wretched constitution and how your government operates magically erased from existence, I have no doubt in my body that the ensuring nation(s) that spring up in its place will be not only better for the citizens, but better for the whole world.
It would have fewer children gunned down in places where they should be safe, fewer people dying from rationing insulin, fewer people selling their plasma just to not die from exposure, fewer minorities and family pets executed by agents of your government in the street, fewer citizens poisoned by plastic and lead in their water, and fewer people half a planet away murdered by your troops or your bombs.
A better future is possible, but it's not from festering like maggots the the corpse of your dying empire.
P.s.: Free Palestine.

God damn this lady is smart.
A man drank 2.5 litres of caffeinated lemonade, totalling 1100+ mg of caffeine. He then died.
Theres probably a co-morbidity because the LD50 of caffeine is like 5000mg.
Not possible or don't want to? One is a self own at your own literacy levels.
Maybe if the OP posted a TL;DR, have an AI read it on tik tok you might find it interesting.
True. Coconut = Kamala, Pizza = Pizza.
Bill = William = Willy = Childish name for penis
De = The
Blasio is an anagram of Boils.
Kamala is complicit in underground pizza paedo rings where she boils children's penises.
