I once had a random dude in the elevator quote him to me. I didn't know him, he just went ahead with some weird quote, I look at him weird and he's like "that's Solzhenitsyn" "uh... okay."

I hope he cringes about being a weirdo to this day, bc I found it extremely silly in a bad way

Or we could get a Triangle of Sadness scenario where the crew takes over by being the only ones with survival skills, and bullies the rich libs into submission

Sadly it wasn't on there, but thanks for the link, I found the origin of a different sample in a completely different song by a different artist that I've also been wondering about, so that was cool.

Listening to a song I remembered from years ago, I heard this sample (timestamp just before it starts): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQu1TBIMSSk&t=191s

I recognized it as the same one that was used in the soundtrack for the video game Bastion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPWmrwF4MOI&t=25s

I might have bad ears but to me it sounds like the exact same sound. If so, does anybody know where it comes from originally?

I am a newly appointed mod to a few comms (I sent the application after Carcosa posted this thread) and I half-heartedly agree with this. While I have enjoyed the old dunking, I do partially agree it fosters irony poisoning which is a hell of a drug, and the higher bar that c/counterpropaganda requires you to clear can help with more constructive/less misanthropic takes. I mean I will absolutely miss some of the wilder dunks, but I think it might lead to a somewhat healthier atmosphere in here

On a semi-serious note, can the US even fuck Palestine more than it has? Libs have constantly gone about how Trump will be even worse but like

weapons have been shipped under dems

Gaza is as good as completely obliterated

settlers are pushing into the West Bank

official number of the death toll hasn't changed in months because there is nobody to update it, which is already a sign in of itself, but we're probably at a few hundred thousand now

what can Trump even do to top it? It's like stabbing a corpse, you can't fuck the situation up more than the murderer already did

I might be talking out my ass actually, can't find any actual numbers, just saw some statistics before that I can't find anymore. I mean, not exactly a serious post either way lol

 

The voter turnout was like 40-50%. That means over half of the country is evil tankies.

The revolution is imminent!

The guy's username checks out

I actually know a vegan tankie irl who is not me!

Sadly, they don't wanna hang out, probably because I'm awkward and weird. But I know one nonetheless!

I knew a guy who spent 10 years in academia, then realized the pay is awful and became a software engineer. Now he's a Musk fanboy with major brainworms, and his main hobby is "investment"

Stemlords, man.

oh shit is this the soulist guy's gear?

[–] a_little_red_rat@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Aww, thank you

as for the hair, that's cool but I feel like I need to change it up

I'm an engineer and I can count non-chud engineers I've met on just one hand. The field is overwhelmingly filled with rightwingers who see themselves as better than the unwashed masses on a fundamental level

 

I mean actual proper research, not CIA propaganda. I want to learn what truly was censored, both when it comes to politics and culture like books or film, and actual material reasons why.

Preferably stuff that destroys the typical Western bullshit about no freeze peach lol, I want to put it against Western censhorship and propaganda.

 
 

This is not a dunk or a serious post either. I just figured I can post this cutie with minimal pushback bc he is just so beautiful. Meet Bun the rat.

Sadly he died almost a year ago, but he was extremely lovely and kind. Say something nice (or mice) about him, or share your (nice) rodent stories
