In other news, Belgium has just solved Europe's looming energy crisis by harnessing the kinetic energy of King Leopold turning in his grave.

it's Britain so I imagine someone in MI6 clicked the "SECRET-TRANS-CELEBRITIES.zip" file that they received in their government email and now they'll have to find a way to blame this on Hamas antisemitism

you just know that this was an internal decision from Sony, made without any input from developers, and the deciders probably used a lot of cool words like KPI, metrics, engagement and brand awareness

edit: oh sorry, it was CUNY

so unless tiktok is sold to a US-based company, it will be a bit inconvenient for US users to download the app and keep it updated

is that all? can't these geriatric corporate-owned fucking ghouls understand how toothless this supposed ban is? lmao this is pathetic

So, clearly Israel wants a regional war. What are the chances that whoever the fuck is the US president next year Zelenskyizes Netanyahu and decides to stop sending them weapons? Can a US president even afford to do that?

Absolutely horrific.

At this point it's trite to say that if this had happened in any other country, there would be incessant media outcry about it. That goes without saying. What I think is interesting is the nature of these experimental execution methods (god what an awful phrase). Who are they for? What is the purpose of this?

We can clearly see that it's not to make it painless for the inmate. It's also not to make it more efficient and quick, the guy choked and thrashed around for ten minutes. So what is the point of even experimenting with ways to kill a person? Is it merely supposed to be bloodless, to make cleaning up easier after the fact? A firing squad is quicker and relatively painless, because the person dies in a couple of seconds, rather than minutes, but it does make a mess.

I just don't get it. If that person should die, then why go through all this fucking trouble when you can just shoot them, or alternatively shoot them up with enough fentanyl to kill a horse? Bullets and fentanyl are cheap. Cheaper than nitrogen gas, I presume. Sometimes it feels like the sadistic fucks in charge of this theater (and it is a theater, curtains and all) are just trying some new shit to see what it will do. Experimenting for its own sake.

not according to this guy, who's famously always correct

it seems that Israel's offensive has begun... reminds me of this quote:

"The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone -- everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the word. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed."

jfc don't look at the responses if you value your sanity

nobody gave anybody a mandate do any fucking war crimes

what the fuck else was Hamas supposed to do? pray? vote? lie down and die?

I love it that he puts "Dutch" among a list of things he thinks are inherently bad lmao, at least we can agree on that specific one
