Ears are good at hearing left and right. Not very good at hearing up and down. Tilting the head gives left right and up and down.
FYI owls have ears that are offset so they don't have to tilt their head.

Lenin and the Bolsheviks essentially legalized it though.
Nobody likes Stalin. If you do, think about your life and your place in the world

Guy got 87%.
You can't get 87% of people to agree on pizza toppings for the night

It's a test. If the atrocious thing he says is liked, it's serious. If not, it's a joke.

I read a book a long time ago that talked about how many environmental activists end up in car accidents. In North America if you were an activist you were very likely to get in a car accident at night along a well known route....

The Canadian government supporting monopolies? In Canada?

I can't think of a country that belongs there

Yeah, pretending the union doesn't exist is going to help...

I've worked in factories before. I'm not saying you have to be smart to work in a factory, but if you spend too much time in one you won't be.

Well, this sucks

The US just cancelled a major helicopter project because drones do the job cheaper

If Trump was competent, he'd have been much worse.
He tried to start a war in Venezuela and failed.

The problem is the lack of bodies to make rich people richer

'Real genocide'...
Wow.

I often forget that DNA evidence has been much more important regarding wrongful conviction than any other facet.

Why is it always the delusional ones that make these posts?
'why is the fediverse so left wing?' proceeds to post Nazi dog whistles.

I've appreciated a lot of these stories so much differently as an adult.

Xavier, the good guy, is loaded and low-key supports mutant genocide because his motivation is to maintain the system that allows for out groups to be genocided.

Magneto is attempting to make everyone safer by dismantling the systems of oppression.

I homeschooled for a few years in an area without school shootings (not the USA). It was weird for me because I don't think kids belong in factories and want/ed to get my kids real critical thinking and media literacy.

I'm apparently a gigantic weirdo and struggled to hold conversations with other homeschooling parents because they were most definitely not interested in helping their kids have independent thought.

I can remember exactly what was said. The weather. The general feeling of the conversation, but the date it happened? There'll be a couple month long window, and sometimes I'm wrong about that

For years there's been reports about how unnecessarily cheap helium is. For instance, helium balloons should be very expensive.
If the companies buying this up sell it for what it's value is, we could be looking at $100 helium balloons.
MRIs could also get more expensive

Bingo.
People that say they aren't racist don't understand racism

Srsly Wrong's latest podcast talked a lot about how oil companies funded grassroots pro oil campaigns and then linked it to our larger culture and how we can't trust anyone anymore.

I never thought I'd be able to say not trusting each other is big oils fault, but here we are

Joe:'I'll beat you to death with her leg.'
Steve:'why are you going to dismember your wife?'

MJ is a weird case. It's super suspicious, but the fact that parents let kids sleep over is even more suspicious. As a parent, I'd never let my kids sleep over at mjs place. Especially with the rumors.
So why would a parent do that? Extortion seems reasonable.
Worst case, parents were feeding their kids to a child predator so they could extort a filthy rich guy.
This also explains caulkin. He was rich. There was no point in extorting mj.

Absolutely right, but the added subtext is so that rich people win against poor people.
It's designed that way. It was on purpose.

Not at all suspicious that this comes out shortly after Israel is ordered to 'stop all genocidal activity'

In Canada there are communities that have been under boil water advisories for years

I didn't know I had so much in common with vultures

Anyone know of kbin or Lemmy instances that will insta de-federate from anything meta?

Edit: missed the 'de'

It's very much an intolerance of the intolerant kinda thing

Even if it's faithful, the humor from the games is dated so much that only diehards will like it. If it's not faithful, diehards will hate it.
It's almost guaranteed to be bad by huge portions of people that will watch it

Lebanon is. Israel didn't sign on

All of the West should be ashamed for giving them hope for 1 1/2 years. All of the cynics knew the western funding was going to dry up. It was only a matter of time before a shinier newer conflict rose up

They're talking about China.

In a conversation about the situation with two people I care about, they both felt the need to say 'the situation is complicated '

I'm struggling with that. What's complicated about standing up against genocide?

We can add Frank Zappa to the list.
'watch out where the Huskies go '

Most of the homeless I see are tweaking.
It seems like they're solving the housing crisis in the most dystopian way possible

Total victory sounds an awful lot like the final solution

Another aspect that you missed is that the government and systems of power are threatened by the left, so they actively sew discord inside the left.

Those systems and governments have an active interest in ensuring that the left is fractured.

I see this as very positive. If people want to band together and have a state. Why is anyone standing in their way? Same thing with seceding.
It's nice that countries are starting to do that for Palestine. It's kind of wild that it's taken this long
