Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer just branched out into unchartered territory.

    We got it wrong. We should make a “non-boycott” list of people who aren’t assholes yet. It would be way shorter, and we would remove people when they become so fucking stupid and arse-licking that they have the idea of reworking the national anthems of shitholes such as saudi arabia.

      I remember when in 2018 there was an uproar against Trump using that language

      President Donald Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as “shithole countries” during a meeting with a bipartisan group of senators

      The U.N. human rights office said the comments, if confirmed, were “shocking and shameful” and “racist,”

      [source]

      I’m not surprised to see Lemmy embrace and adopt Trump’s language, so long as it’s aimed at countries y’all dislike, and so long as it fits y’all’s agenda

        I have never been to KSA so I’ll refuse to take a position on the nation but Trump is hardly the originator of that phrase. He’s just the classless idiot who used it on mic. If you are actually fluent in English it would be really weird to think this is “Trump’s language”

        Trump didn’t invent this expression. Also any country that still cut heads is a shithole. Have a nice day.

      Don’t sweat it. I love Hans Zimmer but after what he did to my car, I can’t wait to hear the bizarre shits that will be the new anthem.

      Zimmer was hired by BMW to make acceleration and engine noises for their “i” line of EVs. What they got was the sound of robots whining and having orgasms. I had to disable the sound on mine.

        I thought this comment was about to go in a very different direction

      I sincerely doubt that there is a way to determine which behaviours/beliefs are good or bad. I, for example, doubt that I will get a rating of “good” beyond 75% (educated guess).

        Honestly, my standards for “good” behavior for corporations are astoundingly low; just don’t be bigoted, don’t actively wreck the planet, and don’t kill people.

        And yet most of them can’t even manage that.
