“I hooked mine up to a car battery, sends a third grader flying 'cross the room I tell ya” - some hillbilly probably

Do I have to bring my own cattle prod or do they provide those?

More like Ratatouille but yeah

See the poodle on my noodle

Proposal: the onion employs Dan and Jordan on their new network and let them continue knowledge fight on Infowars.

I will die of laughter if Dan really gets Alex’s desk.

the matrix can’t handle this much ass

The ram is already full with rendering Carrie-Annne Moss’s leather pants.

'll just go find the next gas station crackhead, do some meth with them and ask them about their worldview, that honestly seems like more fun.

The quote clearly states ‘joined the party’, those are NOT collaborateurs, those are members of the Nazi party, or as explained - Nazis.

Nobody was threatened to join the party, historians agree on that, people who joined were either true believers or did so to gain some sort of advantage.

The NSDAP, at their peak had 8.5 million members (1945), so around 20-25% of the German population at the time. We can argue about the other 80%, there is some nuance to be found there, of course. But those 20% Nazi Party members were Nazis, no nuance needed.

Like, you have higher survivability odds in the back of the plane

But when you’re sitting in the front during a crash the snack cart comes by one more time.

a pacifist as the paradox of tolerance is a difficult thing to have to come to terms with and I’m fundamentally a flawed human being

Don’t think of it as a paradox - tolerance is a social contract, once you break the terms you’re no longer protected by that contract because accepting that would nullify the contract for all of us.

Boost for lemmy doesn’t show profile pics and usernames all look the same so I might have overlooked where you said that. Also your comment I replied to reads like that wasn’t the case. I apologize for the mix up, but still feel your hostility is unwarranted and will now disengage.

So, what’s your plan for the election? Not voting, sitting in a corner yelling “it’s unacceptable!!!”?

Or voting the lesser of two evils and working to better the system?

The democratic parties of 1920s Germany also were full of racists, antisemites and union busters, but not voting or worse voting for the NSDAP only achieved one thing - the Nazis power grab.

So what’s your plan?

Bieber is German for beaver. Finally someone made the connection.

Covfefe? I think so.

Yeah and sometimes it just rubs off on each other, like I was never the gardening guy but her enthusiasm about it was infectious and now I find myself getting excited about how many tomatoes a single plant can grow or what beautiful colors the tiny corn poppies can produce.

And the other way around - a friend gave me a ‘Quark’ shirt for my birthday and my girlfriend said ‘ugh ferengies are so ugly, couldn’t he have given you a Spock shirt, I like him more’ and I was soooo proud of her.

You just learn to enjoy their excitement about their boring shit until you start to share the excitement and you start to enjoy the thing too.

That movie was INSANE.

Eye of the tiger plays faintly from somewhere.

That’s load bearing grease, don’t worry about it.

edit: Sorry, I’m exhausted for unrelated reasons and that was probably rambling. You can probably safely ignore every part of this post after the first sentence. Hopefully that one adds some conversational or morale value.

Relax, you’re fine, man. I like some insights in people’s lives, it’s interesting, even though it’s only a short window I like to look inside. I figure I’m not the only one.

Hope you have a great weekend, stranger <3

I realize it’s a joke but answering to the first tweet - one could simply post a picture of the Sagrada Familia which is super impressive if you’ve seen it live and it’s still under construction today.
