It’s been over a decade since I last talked to any of the friends I had in my teens. I wish things hadn’t ended the way they did. Don’t worry too much about it

Don’t get too excited cuz the members of Rammstein had some allegations not that long ago about sexual stuff. But yes Rammstein has never been a Nazi band. The song “Links” which means “Left” is kind of about this. Tons of their songs and imagery and music videos and concert stuff also are like…gay sadomasochism stuff. Watch the music video for Mein Teil (which means “my part” which is slang for “my dick”) or the music video for Sonne or watch some of their concert footage where they have like a giant dick that they use to spray faux jizz all over the audience. They’re not like Nazi Germans they’re like the weirdo sex Germans.

They’ll say this but like. Capitalism is what’s turning everything into a subscription service. Capitalists want you to live in a pod and own nothing. I guess under capitalism it’s okay because poor people deserve it

“Corpse” would be a good word for Stephen Miller lets all manifest it together

That’s about when I stopped watching. So much wrong with that entire sequence. Lore wise, logic wise, story wise it was just so fuckin dumb. Galadriel is like Gil Galads great aunt she’s like 1000 years older than him and here he is like banishing her to Valinor which isn’t even a thing? “Auntie Galadriel, you’ve been bad, get on this boat and go to heaven and don’t come back”. Scolding her like a child when she is in fact older and more powerful? Canonically she would have a husband and CHILD at this point (both are absent from the show completely so I guess who cares) and Gil Galads like, get the fuck outta here, fuck your family I guess. And she meets Sauron in human form guy RANDOMLY FLOATING ON THE OCEAN because of course. Ugh.

RoP has many flaws that could probably be forgiven if it wasn’t just such a slog to get through. Screwing up the canon and characters and everything is one thing but at least make it good. Jackson’s films mess with the canon too but the original trilogy is still timeless because it was so well done

Oh shit I fuckin forgot about that one. Wow. That was real egregious in hindsight. Damn

Contradictory feelings are when you are happy when you get to murder other people but sad when your people get murdered

I feel like this can only be true if you’re trying to get real fancy with the home cooking. I don’t see how eating out consistently could ever be cheaper or even close to as cheap as cooking yourself rice and beans at home. Dry rice and beans in bulk are pretty cheap

Infinite suffering for every Israeli, inshallah

Gone too soon

I think Amazon does benefits for part timers

Step away from the lathe right now

Dang that old. They were still having us watch it when I was in elementary school

Unironically this is the end result of Hamilton and West Wing and hell even fucking School House Rock (for all the 30 something US Americans). This is real “end of history” thinking. Democracy is the final form, this is it, the problem is that the wrong people keep getting voted in, bad people, because “oh Republicans are stupid” or “oh Russia Boris what time is it in Moscow” or “oh leftists let Trump win”. We just need real people of character to get in there and do politics and reach across the aisle and just have heart to heart talks with fascists and get things done FOR AMERICA because America is perfect! We just keep electing the wrong people but don’t worry we’ll fix it

The Rise of the Witch King expansion for Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth 2

If you like RTS games and/or Lord of the Rings these games are pretty easy to pirate and there is an active modding community.

Kinda. This is gonna be super simplistic but like. To be good or moral or ethical or whatever you want to call it. It is not enough to love and support things that are good. You must hate and oppose things that are evil. If you are not capable of hating oppressors with the same conviction as the people who are oppressed, what are you even standing on? Do you think the parents of all the dead Palestinian kids have anything but hate for anyone and everything that claims the title of “Israeli”? Would you stand with them or not? Do you not tremble with indignation at the injustice, as Che said? Really think about whether or not you do.

This doesn’t mean you necessarily have to go out and find Israeli nationals to harass and you don’t have to send money to Hamas. But you do have to not go online and make weepy posts about “But but but what if they had really good reasons to be colonizers 🥺”

Good shit. Today was rough, I needed that

I once waited 3 hours in a merch line at a concert for The Garden to get literally get a vinyl and a tape not even that long ago
