I don’t particularly think his supporters matter, as they are mostly sheep and not one of the main facisim roots.

It’s the fact that more than half of America’s entire media apparatus is entirely behind Trump.

They dominate airwaves and have entire control over several local information ecosystems allowing them to brainwash entire populations with wall-to-wall propaganda that is completely aligned in its message of refuting and obfuscation of reality.

Regardless if the people are racist, scared, simple minded, trained to blindly accept specific authority or whatever, is mostly irrelevant in a society with journalistic integrity, and a non-corporate/private interest owned media.

It’s no surprise that some people believe outrageous, impossible, contradictory, claims when every reality authority available to you exclusively tells you coordinated lies.

Although this story isn’t related, I’ve been trying to get the name JD Vance changed online to “Joy Division Vance” given his views on women.

The future Joy Division Vance sees for American Women

In World War II, Nazi Germany established brothels in the concentration camps (Lagerbordell or Freudenabteilungen “Joy Divisions”) to increase productivity among inmates, although these institutions were used mostly by Kapos, “prisoner functionaries” and the criminal element, because regular inmates, penniless and emaciated, were usually too debilitated and wary of exposure to Schutzstaffel (SS) schemes. In the end, the camp brothels did not produce any noticeable increase in the prisoners’ productivity levels, but instead, created a market for coupons among the camp VIPs.[1]

The women forced into these brothels came mainly from the women-only Ravensbrück concentration camp,[2] except for Auschwitz, which used its own prisoners.[3] In combination with the German military brothels in World War II, it is estimated that at least 34,140 female inmates were forced into sexual slavery during the Third Reich.[3]

I’m not sure if it’s stomach problems causing anxiety, or anxiety causing stomach problems 🤔

Considering I’m sending this from the toilet, probably both.

Less chat bots on Lemmy, and they seem to be easily identifiable and ignored/reported.

Lemmy isn’t quite at that sweet spot where there are enough daily users to get niche content and information from a group of knowledgeable people - but some communities seem to be quite active and helpful already.

I’d love to get to the point where we have a big science/history community and get some non-celebrity AMA’s that have genuine interaction.

I’m more than happy for Lemmy to stay “underground” for a good while, slowly building communities. Once things hit a critical mass and wind up on corporate radar, lemmy will get swarmed and another migration will happen with the same core groups that joined lemmy early.

I became a daily lemmy user right around the great beaning, and will always support bean related content!

Are you suggesting lower cost and some convenience in exchange for incomprehensible risk is somehow a bad deal?

Gotta disagree about the Mist.

The monsters absolutely were the point, and something like a storm/flood/fire wouldn’t flip that many people to religious human sacrifice or electing a religious leader to decide who gets sacrificed within 3 days. (the reason she was being believed was also monster related)

The monsters are what caused panic, fear, loss of humanity, and desperation. The movie makes a point to illustrate this when the generator stops working - the people needed something they could understand, and resolve, and refused to acknowledge monsters would be possible until they see part of one and some flip from impossible to act of god/devil, which doesn’t really happen with fire or rain or snow.

The variety, size, and mysterious origins of the monsters are absolutely the centerpiece and couldn’t be replaced by any natural disaster, as the whole point was how unnatural everything became.

I would say that Prey isn’t so much a monster movie as a movie with an ‘ugly’ powerful humanoid. I would definitely put “The Thing” on this list, but it’s not exactly modern.

Lewis Black’s comedy always has a special place in my heart

I’ve been getting the Samsung ‘plus’ models several years after they come out for a couple hundred bucks and still can’t find a reason to upgrade from the S10+

New phones are way too expensive for a better camera and marginally faster apps, which would be entirely out matched by a dedicated camera at the same price.

Surprise surprise, I also drive an old ranger that has aux but no Bluetooth so everything works out

You’re previous, brief, comment literally mentioned media fear mongering - apparently it was imaginary media fear mongering tied to an imaginary scenario involving millions of interactions between men and woment and only two rapes (not sure how media fear mongering ties into an imagined hypothetical.)

You are all over the road bud.

I’m saying that it’s not media that’s brainwashed women into believing some Rape bogeyman exists - Imaginary scenario or not.

It’s that every single woman personally knows someone(s) who has been raped/roofied/sex assaulted/groped etc. and they don’t need media hype to come to the conclusion that being raped in any environment is always a possibility. This is a very sad fact that women live with every single day.

Not sure how you perceived that as an accusation that you don’t believe in Rape

Most of the “fearmongering” is actually women talking about their experiences.

When media fearmongers Rape, it’s mostly by informing the public about rapists being sentenced to very light sentences, or rapists facing no jail time, or violent rapists being released.

Either that or they outright victim blame and discuss what someone was wearing, where they were, who they were with etc, basically inferring that if she was safely at home under a man’s protection, it wouldn’t be possible for her to be raped - so look at all the safety she threw away to be reckless (outside without a male partner) and have fun (literally existing while being a woman walking sex organ waiting to be claimed).

Watching movies at home is infinitely superior. You can talk, pause, rewatch a scene, go to the bathroom, have your own snacks, better seats, home TV’s are pretty great these days, and sound bars/headphones are also close enough(better?) than theaters.

I’d prefer not to torrent as I already have streaming services, but if companies are going to put out content that is generally mediocre, with lowest common denominator formulas and then make it hard to watch? then yeah, I’ll Torrent.

I don’t mind owning physical copies of media I really like, but that is also becoming less and less common.

That being said, Dial of Destiny was actually pretty enjoyable! Better than the average movie I’d say, and I watched it on a plane, so not exactly the best viewing environment

Been using this often since you originally posted it!

Love gif style porn and this is one of the best ways to mow through them.

I’m pretty much a monkey who’s too distracted by tits but is there any features/tips for using it I may have missed in pre-nut fog?

The best way to tell if it’s a false flag operation is to see how much this event will be spread in the Russian media.

They’ve lost tons of equipment and had bombings deep in Russian territory, mostly affecting their oil production which could be perceived locally as Russian military inferiority.

So when this starts being on blast for every channel and frequency - you can be sure it’s a false flag.

If they bury this like any other Russian military failing, then it’s probably real.

Edit: ISIS claims responsibility, but Russia is still trying to blame Ukraine, which is kind of a false flag?

That makes so much more sense than

You can absolutely explain the ending.

It’s just that you will also be wrong

From google

The bill raises the threshold for which the executive branch can approve an arms sale of major defense equipment without congressional notification from $14 million to $23 million

So assuming they maxed it out and only did exactly 100 transactions, that’s 2.3 billion going to IDF

23,000,000 * 100 = 2,300,000,000

Hopefully the white house is doing this for Ukraine 10fold and running a circuit around the current Russian-American Congress

Is there a community/instance for sheer clothing like this?

Love seeing nips through a shirt, youtubetitties is pretty good, hoping to see if anything else exists yet
