It all makes sense now. The single cat ladies have been enticing Haitian migrants with the plan to make them all transgender, just like Trump said.

Inside the 90s anime Martian Successor Nadesico, there is a 70s-era anime called Gekiganger III. Characters various levels of knowledgeable about, or fans of, the show. A single OVA episode was released in addition to the clips from within Nadesico.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I take some solace and knowing that Elon had minimal input with the original vehicles, and they were modeled after something that was designed by other companies.

Considering most anime is low effort schlock that contains episodic plots that get nowhere (and even linear narratives tend to progress at the speed of molasses), if somebody tells me they "like anime" without elaborating, I think less of them then if they told me they "like music."

I'd say Tesla in general became a disappointment. The Cybertruck was just the blister on top.

It's not difficult to hold two ideas simultaneously:

X is important (because people decided to make it that way)

X shouldn't be important (and wouldn't be, if people hadn't made it that way)

I was going to post this, after finally watching it and realizing it was an incredible video.

If this is the kind of post that gets downvoted around here, the community is cooked. Lurking Reddit is the better alternative, at least that place tends to let the cream rise to the top occasionally

Have you actually seen anybody change their minds, or are you just perceiving more pro Israel people?

Same people who say comedy is dead because they can't make edgy jokes, complain about a harmless joke

 

If you don't feel like watching a two hour video about The Satanic Temple but still want info, I'd recommend this Newsweek article.

If you've already watched it, here are some additional comments regarding this video as provided by QueerSatanic on Reddit (slightly edited for formatting):

On lawsuits

The chilling effect of The Satanic Temple suing Newsweek (and its reporter as an individual) for defamation over the magazine's story in October 2021 can't be overstated.

Everything has been dismissed except for the question of whether TST is a public or private figure (it's almost definitionally a public figure) and whether they were defamed by the article quoting someone about sexual abuse in the Temple; all the other ~20 claims got tossed by the judge.

But as Dead Domain's video showed, it's not like there is a paucity of evidence for the remaining claim, either.

If you want to dig into the court docket for the Newsweek SLAPP, this is the magazine's last filing (1)(2), which TST handwaves away as "Internet hearsay" in their reply.

On bigotry

Dead Domain may have been required to use that “I think it’s OK to hate Jews” clip because it’s the most infamous one and the one that has been addressed publicly at all.

However, the beliefs on eugenics are so much worse, plus the casual racism and the praise of literal fascism. (Examples).

I went to Italy and got a fascist shirt, and I loved how clean that part of town was” is something that made it into the video, but people still willing to give TST’s owner the benefit of doubt are basically saying they don’t care to learn how bad he actually was at the “young” age of 28, and they don’t need any proof of change other than not hearing those clips anymore.

Fifteen years later at age 43, TST’s owner was still running his website called “Dysgenics . com”

 

This is part of a trilogy about X-Men by an unapologetically (but slightly covertly) leftist creator.

 

A few things that are accessible within the USA include:

  • Participating in mutual aid programs
  • Campaigning on the local level, including for positions like poll watchers
  • Making your voice heard in community events in general
  • Joining your local DSA, networking
 

After this meta-post about a Lemmy instance got removed, I became curious: where are the communities that contain general discussion about the state of the broader Lemmy community itself?

The bigger communities I found when looking for Fediverse meta content are:

But most of the communities are much smaller and less popular:

Most of the "meta"communities I found were specific to a single server. Which is great for reporting server issues themselves, but not so great for understanding the broader community.

TL;DR where drama
