If you haven’t read Man’s Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl, do it immediately. It should be as well known as Night.

The list of previous searches on his iPhone included “Which month is april in islam,” “Festivals happening near me,” “are suicide attacks haram in islam,” “ginger isis member,” “lone wolf terrorists isis,” and “can tou kill a woman who foesnt[sic] wear hijab.”

lol of course he’s a fucking idiot

You mean three weeks into summer? We started our summer with a massive heatwave where I am.

Sounds like an Illuminati conspiracy to me

The word “could” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence

lol I dunno, what else could you do with them? It’s a funny comic, but the joke is the pun, it kinda ends there

Love custardfist, one of the funnier webcomics currently

I’m in one of the bluest. Our police and FBI are not “blue.” American spy forces and “committee on anti-American activities”-ass motherfuckers are not kind or just, no matter the voting tendencies of the populace.

How many decades have we seen far right terror groups overlooked for anti-capitalist leftists? The left threatens the status quo, the right fortifies it. The blue and red dichotomy is the status quo. The democrats support the genocide in Palestine. Going against that status quo makes you not safe from government crackdowns, the party in power is completely irrelevant.

You guys can’t think there are seriously paid bots on lemmy. There are like 10,000 users. It’s basically a niche message board. Reddit is a valuable target because it has millions of users. Facebook, instagram, Twitter. These places are being astroturfed. But lemmy? I honestly don’t believe it. It doesn’t even have a core of users in any particular country. The small user base is spread all over the world. It just isn’t a target of these campaigns.

People are complicated. Everyone always points to “all that anti Kamala talk ended right after the election!” Yeah, maybe a lot of the pro-Palestinian anti Kamala people saying they wouldn’t vote for her stopped speaking so publicly because the reality of the other option sunk in. That doesn’t mean those people are paid trolls or bots. It means their argument got much more difficult when trump started plotting out his Gaza hotel. Those feelings are still legitimate. The feeling of not being able to sign your name to the lesser of two evils when that “lesser” is still funding and arming the genocidal force. People couldn’t swallow that on a personal level. But as soon as trump was elected, because it was one of two options, for the sake of not being angrily brigades, people stopped talking about it.

It’s a much more nuanced issue than bots on lemmy.

I feel like we all very, very clearly knew it already.

Yeah, well there are a ton of people literally falling into psychosis, led by LLMs. So it’s unfortunately not that many people that already knew it.

I’ve only played SH2. What was the problem with ascension?

When people talk about “men” being the problem, they don’t mean that men as a whole have this problem. It’s a problem and it mostly rears its head in men—yeah, usually older white men. And when it shows in (typically older) women, it’s often (if not always) internalized misogyny from years of patriarchal structures shaming and scandalizing women’s bodies.

So saying it’s a “puritanical problem” is really saying that the waspy religious subgroups have outsized power and they’re largely problematic men and they have indoctrinated large groups of younger people and women.

I’m dating this person and we were watching YT and she didn’t have any ad blocker up and I was fucking blown away

I mean, at least the chat bots are always nonviolent and are restricted from encouraging people to do any harm. Doesn’t mean these people can’t (un)reason around it. People read the Bible and think it’s telling them to bomb clinics and hate their neighbors somehow.

Oh, sorry, you misread. I said “other angle.”

Because…yeah. I want it plastered all over. He looks so fucking stupid and is so goddamn inept that I’d like to be able to display the richest man in the world’s undeniable Nazi salutes. Because…we should. Don’t you agree?

Yeah but I just meant that when he turns around, the second one looks less doofy and contorted. I thought someone behind him would’ve been filming on their phones, I’m just surprised there were no phone videos from anyone over there. I wanted to see someone’s from that other angle. It’s weird there was only one video of it, I figured those assclowns would be relishing in having such a “le epic” moment recorded.

You can just tell that he was thinking “I’m gonna do it! It’s gonna be such a master troll!” So he overthought the first one and it’s almost so lacquered in false confidence while the second one he just kinda doesn’t overcommit, if that makes sense.

I fully agree, it was 100% a Nazi salute. Both of them. I just wanted to see another angle on that second one.

Because there were people in the crowd behind him. He almost faced right at them. I didn’t think this would be a controversial take

I meant from the other angle, facing the camera
