I hoped I might be eligible for Irish citizenship through my grandfather, and recently found out that I’m not.
My visa runs out soon and I have to return to the imperial core.
I’m giving up on Lemmy. Too many toxic users. Too many bad mods who fail to remove the toxicity. And toxicity seems to be part of the culture here, judging from how everyone acts like it’s normal. Also, why is everyone a programmer?

I would have thought that references to the “Labor Party” and “MPs” (things that do not exist in the USA) was a pretty big hint that this story wasn’t American.
It was about The Munsters.
I mean, me too, but I’ll settle for the double penetration.
I knew a woman who took a job in a porn shop while she worked on her book (a children’s book), and depression set in when she realized she hadn’t touched her manuscript in 2 years and her career was being a porn clerk.
She ended up becoming the manager of three stores.
Edit: This was back in the ‘90s, when people bought porn in stores.
In my experience, those people already know that the potential effects on their lives isn’t more important than genocide.

I haven’t watched Wakanda Forever, but […] Looking at some of the complaints, it appears to have a similar problem to other modern Disney films, in which women are put on an elevated pedestal and men are left to be bumbling idiots completely incapable of basic human functions.
No, not at all. There are three male characters in the film (Winston Duke’s M’Baku, Martin Freeman’s Everett Ross, and Tenoch Huerta’s Namor), and they are all very competent. One is a CIA agent, and the other two are leaders of their people.
I did watch Black Panther […] I do recall noticing that Disney chose only white actors to play all the villain roles in Black Panther
The villain in Black Panther was Erik Killmonger, played by the very black Michael B. Jordan.
There was a writer’s strike in the middle of the final season which seems to have sent the show off the rails.
No, they’re the same name. Guylaine is a respelling of Ghislaine that makes the pronunciation more obvious, like how Jeffrey is a respelling of Geoffrey.
They seem different to you because you’re using the non-traditional pronunciation of Ghislaine.
There are two pronunciations.
The original pronunciation is gee-LENN. (Hard G like gum, not gin. Note that the S is silent.)
The more common pronunciation these days is zhee-SLENN.
The gee-LENN pronunciation is still common in Belgium (where the name originates) while zhee-SLENN is more common In France and Quebec.
I wonder how William voted. Wouldn’t it be fun if he were secretly a republican?
Maybe she voted in the Australian referendum.
That’s Heather Locklear, right?
Because he’s winning.
The people calling for Biden to drop out are doing it for one reason: Because they fear Biden won’t win.
It has nothing to do with how moral Biden or Trump are or are not.
because you’re fucking moron that forgets things easily!"
It’s more that the worst thing you’re willing to accept becomes the new normal.
And then something that was previously unthinkable becomes thinkable. And then if you accept that because it’s the lesser evil, it becomes the new “new normal”. Continue in a downward spiral.
Look at the state we’re in now, with Trump and Biden. That’s the result of decades of picking “the lesser evil”.
At some point you have to say “no more”.
There were self-immolations in Vietnam that were protests against the US-backed puppet government in Vietnam.
It wasn’t the only thing that shaped public opinion about the war, but it did have a big impact.
You can read a bit about it here:
Right. So, part of the problem with “Voting third-party means supporting Trump” is that it presumes I would have otherwise voted for Biden.
And I wouldn’t have. Because he’s committing genocide.
Also, when third-party candidates start to get traction, they can pull votes away from Trump as well as Biden.
And if enough people vote third-party, we can start to defeat both Trump and Biden. Even small amounts of support for third-party candidates can lead to a third-party winning seats in congress if that support is concentrated in particular districts, like college towns. And in an evenly divided congress, a few seats can control the balance of power and have a big impact.
Ghettoes were neighbourhood where Jews were forced to live in Nazi Europe, so I’d say that sounds worse.
