😟 it’s only a drink.

I would say that but too me it’s been apparent since long before lemmy was set up

I know I am late here but I have quite the Christmas story. For Christmas I spent the holidays with my Mom. Over the holidays one of my mom’s neighbours tasked my mom with looking after her cat while she is in Sweden with her son for christmas. My older brother came down with two of his dogs which are loud and very big pit bulls. On Christmas day my Dad came over and got my mom and my sister a puppy (the dog my dad owned got pregnant and had puppies) so there was lots of loud animals around the house. For safety precautions the cat was temporarily moved back into my neighbours house over Christmas with me and my mom checking on him periodically over the next two days until my brother and his two dogs left.

I used to watch all their gang beasts episodes. They were amazing. Lovely to hear they are still around.

Edit: the videos are 9 years old now. Holy fuck.

Funny you mention the MCU because the audience for those movies is practically the same. For everything I’ve read and seen it basically sounds like a animated MCU movie

And nobody actually cares. You’d expect protests whenever something like this comes out? You’d expect people to at least kick up a stink. But, no move on to the next thing. Kinda sad how little outrage there actually is to this shit. Heck, even the general attitude towards this facf from the comments here is “shrugs Well what did you expect”.

Yeah. Keep in mind there is a cold war of sorts in the middle east with Iran and Saudi Arabia and because of that Palestinians have become a Iran coded issue meaning countries allied with Saudi Arabia aren’t taking on the cause anymore.

The funny thing is Varadkar is trying desperately to be a neutral as possible but the Israeli government is literally making it impossible. They are trying to get him to take a more hardline pro zionist stance but there’s very little zionist political power in Ireland. He knows he’ll lose lots of voters if he takes a zionist stance. Israel can’t do shit.

Knee jerk reactions get the best of people. It’s funny how the average Irish person is extremely pro Palestinian yet reacted the same way the average Israeli did after the October 7th attack.

Drew Harris and Helen McEntee need to be removed from their positions ASAP or else there will be a next time and it will be worse. Pretty dang scary just how many people are buying into alt-right ideology in this country.

Leader of the Gardai (Irish police) . This is a massive event in my country.

Tbf in my humble opinion the Philippines still holds the all time election L for voting in a dictators son over a human rights lawyer.

Lmfao you jinxed me by a couple of minutes lol.

I get what you mean. I am on the autism spectrum and I struggle significantly with socialising with people. You know I just find it difficult. And there’s no one that really reached out to me when I was a teenager. What broke that cycle for me was being the one who reached out and made friends with people other people never cared about. You know sometimes being the one that breaks a cycle like that can be powerful and it can even give you a stronger sense of self worth. But that’s just for me. It might be different for you because I am a very extroverted person I just really struggle with the making connections part.

Yeah. There needs to be a stronger push for communities.

We could be seeing this soon tbh. Not that encourage it.

No. Because the paintings are protected by glass.

The planet is literally dying. A painting ain’t worth shit in the grand scheme of things. This has always been a popular tactic for protests the article mentioned the suffragettes doing the exact same thing to the exact same painting.

Because art gets them more publicity. Also if they are going around smashing car windows then they are liable to thousands in fines due to criminal damage, turn the general public against them even more so than they already are and it will likely legitimise tough laws being created against this group.

Boggles my mind how in the late 80s how much the Filipino had to do to get his dad out of power only for them to vote in his son (who has the exact same name as him) out of nostalgia for the good olde days.
