"No Israeli ship will reach any port until the siege is lifted and the aggression on Gaza ends"

That quote is saying that Ansarallah is not agreeing to stop attacks on Israeli-related ships. It is different from Ansarallah agreeing to stop attacking US military.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is threatening to cut state funds from San Marcos for divestment from Israel, "Anti-Israel policies are Anti-Texas policies" by dead in c/news@hexbear.net

The comments from the town local subreddit are decent.

Why is San Marcos sending Israel $4 million of their tax money to begin with? That’s insanity.

Our federal government already subsidizes Israel so much that they’re able to offer their citizens every social program known to man. Healthcare, education, housing.

If that number of tax dollars from San Marcos sent to Israel is accurate it’s just fucking depressing. 4 million dollars that could’ve been spent on housing, healthcare, our roads, or our river instead goes to some shitty military of 19 year old colonels to commit war crimes.

Criticism isn’t antisemitism. Wanting your tax dollars to be spent in your community instead of being funneled to a foreign government isn’t antisemitism.

Whack and I say that as someone who has no interest in boycotting Israel.

When your policy is fear mongering and withholding funds from people you disagree with, you're probably not a real Christian.

Odd. Well now I'm curious. What is San Marcos investing in that it plans to stop?

Tomatoes don't taste red by dead in c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

Homegrown tomatoes do taste "really tangy and strong". Grocery store tomatoes were selectively bred to not be green around the stem because customers wrongly interpreted the green ring as unripe. In the process of selective breeding, tomatoes lost their natural flavor.

In the Southern US, there is a traditional Tomato Sandwich ( no bacon, no lettuce, no cheese), only white bread, mayonnaise, salt and pepper, and a thick slice of tomato. The flavor of the tomato is very powerful.

DPRK extracts flight logs from crashed ROK drone found in Pyongyang, promises a merciless offensive if sovereignty infringed again by dead in c/news@hexbear.net

There is definitely US involvement. Two days ago, DPRK published a statement showing US involvement in the escalation, referencing a large-scale joint air military exercise conducted on October 21.

Press Statement of External Policy Office Chief of DPRK Foreign Ministry

Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- The chief of the External Policy Office of the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Saturday released the following press statement titled "The U.S. will be held wholly responsible for pushing the situation on the Korean peninsula to an uncontrollable one":

Amid the extreme tension prolonging on the Korean peninsula due to the recent crucial provocation of the ROK against the DPRK, the U.S. more openly reveals its military confrontational attempt against the DPRK.

From October 21, the U.S., together with the ROK military warmongers, has staged a large-scale joint air drill Freedom Flag by drawing the Australian Air Force into the Korean peninsula. And it has resorted to extreme confrontation hysteria, openly claiming that the purpose of the drill is aimed at the DPRK.

The U.S. and the ROK are trumpeting that they would master the compound operation capability by mobilizing fighters and drones for the first time and conduct exercises for increasing the survivability in airborne infiltration into an enemy's position through the large-scale joint air drill which integrates the annual combined joint formation drill and a joint air drill Vigilant Defense.

The military drill of the U.S. and the ROK, which shows the offensive and aggressive nature more vividly in its scale, content and character, is a very dangerous military provocation aimed at preemptive and surprise strike at the DPRK.

The U.S. is staging "joint air re-supply drill" and "joint river-crossing drill" with the ROK and a large-scale marine corps' joint military drill Keen Sword with Japan. At the same time, it is further escalating the military tension while dispatching the super-large nuclear carrier George Washington task force around the Korean peninsula.

We strongly denounce the U.S. hostile act of resorting to reckless military demonstration with its allies, not content with the present political and military tension on the Korean peninsula which is exposed to the danger of a touch-and-go explosion, as a clear threat and a grave provocation to the security of the region.

The U.S. can never cover up its criminal nature of driving the situation on the Korean peninsula into an uncontrollable one with any rhetoric.

It is a fact known to the world that the ROK committed illegal and grave provocation of openly infiltrating military attack means into the sky above a sovereign state under the shelter of "military cooperation" with someone.

The DPRK keeps in sight the dark shadow of the U.S. which is hidden behind the fearless provocative acts of the ROK.

The U.S. has patronized the ROK's scattering of political motivational rubbish over the territory of the DPRK as the so-called "freedom of expression" and instigated the bellicose hysteria of its ally with frequent deployment of strategic assets and ceaseless joint military drills. The U.S. confrontation history will be exactly recorded and calculated.

If a situation that no one wishes is created on the Korean peninsula, the U.S., the arch criminal and mastermind escalating the tension in the region, will be held wholly responsible for it. -0-

I watched Joker 2 and I liked it by dead in c/movies@hexbear.net

[-] dead@hexbear.net 30 points 7 months ago

Gaga is a good actor.

spoiler

Throughout the movie, we learn that Harley Quinn is interested only in the Joker alter ego and not Arthur himself. She even tells Arthur to put on the Joker makeup when they have sex. She tells Arthur that if he stops being the Joker, then she isn't interested in him. This hurts Arthur quite a lot.

14000 Disneyland workers voted in favor to authorize strike, strike date to be determined by dead in c/news@hexbear.net

You are being unnecessarily pessimistic. Which is not helpful and also a massive buzzkill. Honestly what you said sounds identical to what a reactionary would say.

You have to consider that it would take an incredible amount of time and money to train 14000 replacement employees, making it unlikely to happen. Even if Disney manages to hire scab workers, the quality of the park will fall and Disney will lose business.

Does anyone even remember Trump pre-2015? The guy was a joke and his show on tv sucked ass and all his brands failed. by dead in c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

[-] dead@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

I think this video answers your question pretty well. During the summer of 2015, liberal media spent a lot of time glazing Donald. This is a montage of MSNBC praising Trump while the Republican party rejected him.

In April 2015, you had the Hillary Clinton campaign sending out an email for the "pied piper strategy". The email said that the candidates Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, and Ben Carson should be elevated. The email says that the Democratic Party has previously used this same strategy. The email says that the Democrats believed that promoting candidates with extremist views would hurt the Republican party.

Piracy is not only good, it's a moral necessity for cultural preservation by dead in c/movies@hexbear.net

[-] dead@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

28 days later is a weird movie because it was filmed in digital Standard Definition (480p resolution). I can't think of another movie which was filmed this way. Watching it on BluRay is sort of pointless for that reason. BluRay is 1080p, so the movie would just be stretched because it was only shot in 480p, If you watched 28 Days Later on BluRay, it would look nearly the same as if you watched it on DVD.
