Unleash the tactical twinks!

Not a single beard in the crowd… might Hegseth be a ridiculous pedantic asshat? Some people are saying it.

Tell him to wait a month before bragging about it. My father in law apparently told everyone who would listen for a couple weeks that he was shooting blanks, so no more kids (the man has no filter). He then had to ago around and let everyone know that his last live round had actually hit the mark. That would be my sister in law.

“Well, what are they going to do? ‘Well, Mike Lindell, you know he was a crack addict?’ Yeah, what else you got?”

Wow. This guy thinks the most objectionable thing about him, the only ammo to be used against him, is his drug addiction. This guy has no self awareness at all.

“Moaist”… I mean he is autocratic and anti-intellectual, but… there seem to be a few other aspects missing in this connection.

So, ostensibly, to allow you to check on the status from your phone or get completion notifications, probably. But in reality, they want to gather as much data as they can about you and use that to sell things to you. IoT device data can provide far more insights into your life than you expect. Suddenly using the washer more, using different settings than usual? Someone else moved in or you have a new baby. Washer not used for a while along with other devices? You’re taking a vacation. Et cetera. Those details make targetting ads to you easier.

That’s because, per Christian doctrine, Jesus created a new covenant with his sacrifice that fulfills and supersedes the old laws, and put a more spiritual mercy/love-driven interpretation on the previous rigid adherence aspects of Jewish laws and traditions before.

Brits: Must be nice. We get 1 series with like 3 episodes annually and a Christmas special every leap year. Unless it’s a panel show or Taskmaster which each have 10 series a year.

Says in the article, all three victims were detainees. Two died. This was a white guy targetting brown people. No ICE agents harmed.

Disgusting what these assholes consider funny.

So, when talking about a film adaptation of a 60 year old book being derivative, remember that even though you are only experiencing it now, Dune has been around for a long time. It has inspired other creators, and their work has inspired yet more creators, and you have likely consumed much of these other inspired works before consuming the originator. The order you experience it in may make it seem derived by the other works you already enjoyed, but the opposite may in fact be true.

That being said, no work is created in a vacuum, and all works are derivative to some degree. Dune is no different. It is inspired by sci-fi pulp fiction and even fantasy works that came before it too.

Furthermore, the film is not an entirely faithful adaptation and brings its own interpretations, additions, and other alterations to the story. Those, likewise, are not always wholly novel ideas and share DNA with other works, novels and film, the creators enjoyed. They did plenty of unique things, particularly with the cinematography and aesthetics of the peoples and environments, but the story structure, superhuman abilities and political intrigue will still share a lot of commonalities with other works.

None of that makes Dune bad or lesser. There is nothing wrong with putting a new twist on a a tried and true formula or story element to make it your own.

My culture is not your costume!

It’s why I have fingers… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 🐠

Hey CEOs, open the fucking doors and do something about it. At minimum back one another and stand together to fight back so that targets of the regime dont feel they have to capitulate to the whims of a tyrant or be bankrupted by legal battles for bullshit legal attacks.

Ate those lines fed to him from the White House right up, huh.

The short sighted idiots don’t see that is not just innocently agreeing to making a special day for a dead guy that ultimately doesn’t matter. It’s bait for the regime to punish those who criticize and mock the day. There will be people who lose jobs and worse over this farce.

The problem is not practicing self affirmations. It is affirming and celebrating yourself for evading criticism and accountability and doing so in a way that suggests you’re just barely managing to hold it together under even a basic level of scrutiny while holding one of the highest law enforcement positions in the federal goverment. I do not wish to belittle people struggling with mental health issues, but someone this fragile should not he in his role even if be weren’t a fascist stooge.

Trans friends, this is the time to consider doing what you need to to protect yourselves. I would be looking at what it takes to emigrate somewhere safer.

Are we admitting, then, that he’s currently not authorized and is therefore illegally murdering people?
