I just learned that there is a Cardinal Pizzaballa from Italy that is on the short list of expected potential popes. On name alone, I hope he wins. I know he won’t be called Pope Pizzaballa, but in my heart that is what he’d be known as, spoken in the most Super Mario type accent imaginable

Edit: Sorry, not sorry, I couldn’t help myself, you who are now perusing this thread have to see it as well

They are saying they want parts of Syria pretty openly, and settlers have been saying they are eyeing southern Lebanon too. It’s not gonna stop with Palestine.

Please, I am begging you, do not make this sheet. Right wing media will pick up on it, the golden one will catch wind of it, and it will become an achievement checklist. Please do not.

You’re god damn right about that

Weird. I’m from the US, and from my point of view Crimea is Ukrainian territory and the Gulf of Mexico is the name of the big water between the US and Mexico on the eastern side.

Most of the people we’ve (the US) sent there have not been “deported” and cannot be repatriated because they were never citizens of El Salvador. Lots were apparently Venezuelan, I guess, but I don’t really know how solid of a claim even that is because it really sounds like ICE has been instructed to just grab any brown people with tattoos when they go out on their raids. The people that have been forcibly removed from the US and human trafficked into El Salvador have been kidnapped and exiled, effectively given a lifetime sentence (however short that may be) in a foreign concentration camp without any due process or means for recourse.

This shit’s fucked.

This, a thousand times! I’ve been waiting and hoping to see a way for the masses to have a look at the whole thing and I haven’t found one yet

Vote against fascists if you want even a chance of your vote counting in the future! Lol

Don’t you do this to me, lemmy689. Don’t you hurt me with your heartfelt soliloquys and your lustful eyes

My crazy mom says she’s looking to move to Uruguay because when the nukes start falling they will most likely not have a ton of fallout to deal with.

I’m gonna run toward the light in that kind of scenario, personally. Nature will rebuild. In a WWIII scenario, the winner is evolution. Life will, uh, find its way.

Northeast South Canada, checking in here! My people moved into this land just a few generations ago. The motherland calls…

As is almost always the case in this genocide. This isn’t “Hamas using people as human shields” like Bibi claims. This is the IDF using all of Gaza as live targets.

Who are the other 4+ people killed in this attack ON A HOSPITAL??

It wasn’t called Louisiana before the French named it that, I was just having fun with the way you phrased to things

Louisiana

Now France has entered the chat too! But yes, your point that history gets messy depending on the lense being used remains (at least, I hope I am not misrepresenting you)

Adding to this (and also, thank you for spelling out what I only hinted at): That last queen wrote a book to tell the story of what happened.

Her brother, who was the last king of Hawaii, wrote a book of Hawaiian mythology, too, that is worth checking out if that’s your bag.

Well, we sort of toppled an empire when we stole Hawaii, it literally was independent

While some see this as an academic lifeline, others view it as France capitalizing on a U.S. brain drain under anti-science policies.

Drain our brains. Europe, Canada, Mexico, Oceania: have at it, make this world safer for us all. I bet Cuba could get some of our medical researchers, too. Cripple the Trump regime.

And then, in true American fashion, we can call the member countries in the newly established Four Eyes “nerds, lol” as we continue circling the drain!

Edit: sorry, I might be a bit grumpy this morning, he did a lot of shit over the last few weeks and it’s exhausting

I think I get what you are saying, but also, I’m not sure my point got across entirely. The article and headline use this “from 0 to 100” verbiage to imply a rapid acceleration from being at rest (as in, 0mph) to suddenly moving at a very high velocity (100mph). And that is relating people who watch snuff films to the at-rest part of the analogy, no effort spent, just coasting along… a default state, if you will. And, of course, the real wacko ones that end up just happening to take it a bit too far are the ones that just suddenly find themselves going 100mph, having obviously had to expend a great deal of energy in pursuit of that sudden delta-v.

I’m saying, on that kind of a scale, the people that would never even consider the existence of smut and, upon hearing about it, would be far too revolted to want to have to see it, has a velocity so far in the negative that it’s probably worth considering setting the 0 in the scale to the people who are all the way on the smut-is-gross-and-also-a-red-flag end of the dichotomy on this issue? That’s got to make more sense than setting 0 at “they watch that nasty shit but don’t, like, act on it” as the 0-point, doesn’t it?
