Oh please Godzilla may be a literal city destroying monster but he still has morals.

NATO pls help

We (citizens of other NATO countries) are about to get drafted into this bullshit aren’t we?

Wait he begged Xi? Why? Might as well beg Iran for help in invading Iran.

I think it’s more of a symptom of how narrow a view of the world you get from mainstream English language social media, even the view of other Western countries. Sites like Reddit are openly hostile to content in other languages since only English is allowed in the main subreddits and other languages are quarantined to dedicated language/country subreddits, while sites like Facebook/Twitter accept all languages but completely isolate different languages from each other to avoid the “bad UX” of seeing content in a language the user doesn’t know.

The AI started writing beyond their primary audience’s reading range /s

XD is pretty rare as an emoticon now.

Also abbreviating you as u, to as 2, for as 4, etc. Probably because we have full keyboards and not numpads anymore.

We had a campaign in Canada called “‘That’s so gay’ is so yesterday” when I was in school. A lot of classrooms had stickers or posters with that quote. IDK how well it worked in general but definitely had an effect on me, especially since I was at an age where I didn’t really understand what homosexuality even was, and one of my first exposures to the word was that it’s not okay to use it as an insult.

Wouldn’t go as far as to say it “traumatised” me but In the Night Garden was a surreal, creepy fever dream of a show that still lives rent free in my head. The thing kid me found most weird was that I first saw it in Canada, but when we went back to China to visit family they were airing it there too in the imported shows segment right next to Spongebob and Doraemon. At that point I was really confused because I assumed for a show to be imported it would have to be really well written and acclaimed, but In the Night Garden was such a nonsensical cacophony that it left me wondering what it is about it my stupid kid brain had missed. Still don’t know what was up with that show.

The show that really did traumatise me though was this ghost hunting show on Animal Planet about people’s pets acting weird because they were “detecting” ghosts in their home. Freaked me the hell out because I assumed anything that aired on a documentary channel was real, and the fact that they involved animals in their “justification” of why the place is haunted added to the realism for me at the time. Took until I was an adult to realize that ghost hunting shows are all fake. This was right at the start of documentary channels deciding to sell out to pseudoscience bullshit AFAIK, so they still had a significant air of authority especially for kids.

They really should teach about those in school. Like I learned how those work from Linus Tech Tips, when I was in high school. Why are we so against teaching how basic infrastructure our society relies on work?

They don’t block .ml so they can spam “you’re on .ml lol everyone you’re talking to is an idiot/tankie/Sino-Russian bot” unprompted to anyone else who actually tries to engage in debate here. Acting like an edgelord with low effort dunks presumably also with a saviour complex of “guiding people who stumbled into the tankie zone back to the Western-liberal light” takes priority over actually blocking the people they hate and keep threatening to block.

Really exposing how the US military isn’t the perfect war machine the US thinks it is.

Marx predicts and explains why stimulants that promote productivity at the expense of health will inevetably be forced by a capitalist society that endlessly demands more of workers. So capitalism drives more people to drug dependency essentially by design. The meme is kind of edgy but that what it’s trying to get at IMO.

No. There used to be some nice things on Windows, but Windows 11 has thoroughly ruined them.

Is that a thing? Men are so threatened by women working that they refuse to read things written by women? If so, I would love to have these people do a double blind study and see if they can actually figure out author genders if not told them.

You know, for science. The chronically intolerant people literally leading us to ruin need to be studied.

For those not in the know, the original post was about how someone kept losing their outdoor cats to coyotes and kept adopting more, so was basically feeding cats to coyotes.

Keep your cats indoors folks, will keep them from killing birds and keep bigger things from killing them. Don’t want your pet subjected to the food chain? Don’t make them participate in it.

Also, now that I think about it, how did the shelter not blacklist them after the second cat they lost? They kept just giving cats to this person knowing they don’t bother to keep them safe?

When will Westerners realize that the common characture of the brainwashed, thought controlled, information controlled, constantly surveiled citizen that we attribute to China/The USSR/etc… IS US?! You clutch your pearls at people in other countries potentially being treated like that but are inclined to do nothing about OUR OWN countries treating US like that.

IDK how common this is, but there are stories of companies that make you work on real production code in the interview. Basically suckering you into free work before they give the position to the boss’s cousin or something.

Also IIRC a lot of the pacific coast mountains around the world are from the same volcanic activities caused by the Ring of Fire

“I can oppose both capitalism and communism!”

looks inside

Only opposes communism

Same in Canada. But switch the red and blue colours and our party names are more on the nose (Conservative/Liberal vs Republican/Democrat)
