Imagine if Russia directed these resources into fighting climate change or building infrastructure in Russia

They didn’t used to be this way, for some reason under Biden they went super anti-immigration

I’m willing to give a 2nd chance after a decade

Then change your approach. Instead of trying to black pill every leftist on lemmy like you have been - go post in liberal or moderate social media circles and try to hone your message into something that is effective.

Hope is not a strategy. If someone came to you looking for a business loan and they said ‘we are going to hope people get tired of drinking soda which is terrible for them and switch over to our carrot juice’ - would you give them the loan?

I would’ve suggested the girl sally. They clearly wanted a teenager to go through the 60s but the actress ended up looking permanently 13.

Their physical appearance is the least important aspect of their performance. It’s up to the audience to suspend disbelief, or else we end up getting people covered in so much prosthetic that they can’t emote.

There was such a golden age of British culture from 2000 to 2012. Shame the Tories pissed it all away and now Labour seems to be following their lead.

My parents would never have allowed it or my dad would’ve gotten very creepy about it.

40% identify as conservative, 40% as moderate, and 20% (25 in a good year) identity as liberal.

Like it or not, your leftist agenda can only be achieved by working with those you’d rather not. Refusing to do so and not formulating a strategy to get them onboard with your agenda is detrimental to every goal you have.

Those Redditors are probably 16 year olds themselves upset that the girls they like are always going for 18 - 20 year olds

They’re experiencing positive re-enforcement when they get violent with the people they’ve intrapped. They’re getting more violent because they want more of the positive online feedback they’ve been getting.

There is no lofty thought process about justice.

Because most people don’t understand why Yemen is being bombed and it’s tough to fully explain the geopolitical situation before you’ve lost your audiences attention.

Yemen attacking our boats - must attack back to protect boats. That’s the extent of people’s knowledge.

Even describing ‘they collapsed a whole building to kill one guy’ is tough - most people don’t know the US has a missile that can kill one person accurately. They can’t accept that people would be so cruel, so there just have been a logical reason why so many had to die to kill one person.

But…

Everyone can understand why inviting a journalist to your war chat group to skirt record keeping rules is a huge fuckup. It’s easy to understand and it sticks in the mind.

I replaced potato chips with these for budget reasons.

They’re actually better. You can eat them with cheese or salami or peanut butter.

What the hell is with the Germans and austerity? They’ve been holding their own country back for over 15 years

CELEBRATION TIME COME ON

👊🇺🇸🔥

This proves Thor is the most consistent out of everyone in that universe.

What was interesting about them was always the casting they thought up. Like, I saw a Dracula one staring AI Keanu Reeves and Elizabeth Olson. What sort of casting is that? A teenage boy who has only seen John Wick and Marvel movies thought that up. They probably never even knew Keanu was in the Bram Stoker’s Dracula and dojng a Dracula movie would make no sense for him.

Wow, all they had to do was mix in human poop? Fascinating.
