Not rumours so much as people just watching American movies where everyone is upper middle class. This is how most of the world imagines the US
Everyone is a narcissist except me
This is so true. I box for fitness and the only time I've been in a real fight it was like - everything was fine, then everything went black and I fell to my knees gasping, then once i looked up my attackers were already gone around the corner and I was covered in blood and realised id been hit repeatedly. The people who'll give you a fair fight are usually times you can use de-escalation or run away. The people who preemptively intend to fuck you up won't give you a chance. But probably better situational awareness could've helped me
What I mean is, if people want to talk about power dynamics fine, but its straight away talking about something other than age because inequality is not generally a function of age as such. And otherwise, the 'discourse' is usually just moralism, ie imposing your own values and fantasies on others
Age gap ‘discourse’ is just cheap moralism. Vapid self-righteousness is like the zoomer internet brainrot equivalent of boomers howling about immigrants
It did not. People in the 70s had much higher lead exposures and a society that was both more complex and more precarious, and it didn’t collapse. And actually Rome didn’t collapse in the time period of especially high exposure either, it went on for several hundred years afterwards
“If the CIA is overthrowing governments overseas, then they 100% do it here in America”
Why is he reposting this lmao
In Australia after the massive bushfires a few years back, the right wing /mainstream narrative afterwards was that it wasn’t the fault of climate change, but rather of green environmentalists preserving forests too much and thus creating more dangerous fires
Blink twice if your being held hostage
Drones are the opium of the masses
A crush is a kind of fantasy (in that you idealise someone, imagine how your life could be with them, etc). You destroy the fantasy by exposing it to reality/action, in this case expressing your feelings honestly to the person. If it works out then great, if it doesn’t then it’ll be easier to reorient yourself and you’ll find someone new to crush on.
So instead of investigating them he just decided to believe any bullshit they told him no matter how absurd. Nice one Jimmy.
tricking someone is a sure fire way to piss them off, right up there with just insulting them. Never an effective strategy imo
The crocodile from the movie Crocodile Dundee has died. He was just 90 years old.
There's a scene in 28 weeks later where US soldiers are crying while they shoot civilians lmao
The reason that, for example, RAF terrorism in West Germany was ineffective and counter-productive, is that it didn’t align with the values of society. The RAF thought the people would support them when the inevitable government crackdown came, but people supported the state increasing its own powers to oppose terrorism. By contrast, Luigi’s action has a level of support that a resistance group to a foreign occupier might expect. People can talk shit about his personal politics all they want, but it was a perfect choice of target.
It’s long been rumoured that Isis was a creation of western intelligence.
We will bury you!
David Lynch: Dune is an enormous sorrow to me, a total failure, I sold out, don’t watch it
David Lynch fans: Dune is actually the greatest movie in history, you just have to watch the five hour sandworm_farts YouTube edit after staying awake for three days doing meditation on speed, then you can realise it’s transcendent greatness
