It was reported by the WSJ, they didn’t release the image and of course Trump and his minions said it was all made up. But we can now see Trump’s shitty drawing (it’s creepier than anyone imagined) and the WSJ reporting is now confirmed.

He knew the difference, he was just checking if those rubes on that sand planet knew the difference.

Ok, Han Solo is indeed the coolest character in Star Wars, but only because Darth Vader made him coolest… because of all that carbonite LOL.

Yeah I always think Leo Dicaprio’s character in Django Unchained is almost an awesome dude… handsome (it’s Leo) friendly, extremely hospitable, and has a fun curiosity. Except! There’s one problem with that dude… and that one problem is why he’s a villain. And to me that’s what makes a great villain.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Just art imitating life. Humans aren’t a simple as just “good guys” and “bad guys”. Villains could be awesome people but it’s their bad moral choices that make them the villains.

We like fictional villains because they’re fictional. Someone liking fictional villains doesn’t mean they’ll like real life villains.

Longer than that. Darth Vader was the coolest character in Star Wars.

It would probably be fine if there was someone competent in Whitehouse to manage the fallout.

But since there isn’t, you are very likely correct.

Yeah I’m getting real dot com bubble vibes from all of this.

Only because after 15 years the AIs will have finished exterminating the human race.

This is unwise. Best case is people don’t laugh at a lame variation of a very old joke, worst case is you lose your job for expressing intolerance of people’s religion and/or for being demeaning towards women. Middle case is you get a lecture by HR.

Unless your workplace is a comedy club, maybe stick to dad jokes. You’re being paid to work, not be an edgy comedian. And your co-workers are most certainly not being paid to laugh at your jokes.

If your workplace was a comedy club, the audience is still not being paid to laugh at your jokes and a big part of your job would be to read the room.

I like it for desktop, but for me XFCE is all I need. I figure I want to mostly focus on the application I’m using not the Window Manager. I click the icon, application opens and I do stuff, and occassionally run apt update && apt upgrade and kinda forget the OS is even there.

With games I tend to have more issues with older games becoming broken after awhile than with new games not working because the OS is old. Only problems I’ve had with new games is because I had a computer that was >10 years old and eventually the hardware couldn’t run new games anymore. But then I mostly play strategy games and base builder games, so maybe that’s why I don’t have a lot of issues there.

Debian is the best OS for people that don’t want to think about the OS.

It’s sometimes unstable. But sometimes it’s mostly stable.

testing, stable, oldstable, etc are pointers to named branches (named after Toy Story characters BTW). Unstable is also a pointer but it always points to sid (the neighbour kid that breaks the toys).

Testing isn’t a rolling release. Yesterday testing pointed to trixie. Today stable points to trixie (because testing was completed and trixie has been “released”) and testing now points to forky which is a new branch that is basically a copy of unstable. They’ll do testing on forky and fix things and eventually stable will be pointed at forky (which will be Debian 14) and they’ll make a new testing branch called something else.

It’s an odd thing to call things “released” on a project that’s done openly. Debian 13 was just released today, but you can install what will be Debian 14 right now long before it’s released by installing forky. You can also contribute to their testing by submitting bug reports. But if you do install forky (testing) today, don’t be too disappointed if there’s a bunch of things broken because it’s the same as unstable right now. It will get more reliable as things are fixed and eventually be considered as stable. When Debian 14 is “released” you won’t need to upgrade anything if you’re on forky because you’ll have already been on it for a year or more.

But yeah, unstable is unstable, it’s just somewhere people can chuck packages on and experiment. Things will break there. Testing is testing, it’s there if you want to help out with testing. And stable is stable, you get that if you want something reliable and you don’t want to mess around with software occasionally breaking and having to track down what broke and submit bug reports.

I guess you haven’t learned the unwritten rule on the three things you don’t talk about in the workplace: sex, religion, and politics.

You got sex and religion in there, did you also try to work something in there about politics too?

In South Park, people ignored Al Gore’s warnings about ManBearPig because he sounded lame. Turned out ManBearPig was real.

In real life, people ignored Al Gore’s warnings about Global Warming because he sounded lame. Turned out Global Warming was real.

They often put a message in there you just have to look for it.

In the latest episode there’s a message about people doing horrible things because they’re desperate for money. Or maybe it’s just the system makes them feel like they need to make more money. Mackey is motivated to get a job at ICE because a social media influencer made him think making money mattered more than being a good person and the bank reinforced this. But in the end being a horrible person wasn’t actually profitable, and he just was pushed into doing more and more horrible things.

Going after Trump is difficult because the real life Trump is completely ridiculous to the point where they could just put real things he’s said on there and caption it with “These are things Trump has actually said” like they did in their episode on scientology. But that would get boring after few episodes.

Just portraying Trump like Saddam gets the message across that Trump is an authoritarian asshole that’s at the top, but what’s more interesting is going into the societal problems that enables the horrible things Trump and his minions can do. First episode goes into the corruption of religion, second episode goes into the capitalistic pressures on society.

Like, I don’t know what having him have sex with Satan does.

They’re assuming you’ve watched the South Park movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6prKZkSQUc

The point is Trump is the same as Saddam Hussein.

I think it is entirely reasonable to argue that it normalized antisemitism and queer phobia in some ways - it taught a lot of twelve year olds that calling someone a “Jew” or a “fagg~t” was inherently funny.

The whole sentiment of “we need to control what people say so we can control how people think” is the reason why a lot of people dislike the left.

Also I don’t think they did the things you’re accusing them of. The antisemitism is said by Cartman who is not meant to be a role model, he’s a miserable little shit nobody likes. The Jewish kid is portrayed as normal and a good guy. There are two kids that constantly say “huh huh, that’s gay” but they are clearly displayed as complete dumbasses.

But now the “control what people are saying” sentiment is coming from the right, and so the PC Principle character who used to bully people with political correctness is the “Power of Christ” Principle and he’s bullying people about conforming to Christian values.

Seems South Park is just in opposition to anyone that tries to tell them what they should do. Before it was the left (which didn’t work out very well did it?) but now it’s the right. Thinking you’re going to change how people think by controlling what they see just doesn’t work, which I think by now has been proven.

Likely whoever is leaking the documents reached out to the WSJ since they’d have more cred in right wing circles. If the WSJ buried it, then the leaker would take it to another newspaper the story would still go out. Only difference would be the WSJ and Rupert Murdoch would be complicit in Trump’s cover up.

So it’s probably less Murdoch betraying Trump and more not wanting to go down with him. Plus it sells newspapers and Murdoch likes making money more than anything else.

Everyday was a wonderful secret!
