I understand and sympathize with your ginger argument but honestly I really liked the Little Mermaid live action. It’s the only one of those that hadn’t made me cringe.

Everyone here needs mental help. 😑

AIPAC and organisations like stopantisemitism have made it their mission in this world to ensure that there is no public distinction between Jewish people as a whole and the nation of Israel.

Does Israel really think people are that stupid?

Looking at their propaganda, yes. Yes they do. And their super PACs ensure that the politicians they’ve pocketed parrot the same lines they say.

it makes a lot of sense and I’m not sure how that could change

It will change when the cancer finally kills that bastard.

Ask the Ukrainians what they think. It’ll be amusing to see how they flounce you.

Giving in to tyranny is voluntary slavery.

Yes cause 5 to 12-year-olds are the only people who play Minecraft. Nobody over the age of 12 plays Minecraft at all and there aren’t millions of Minecraft players out there that are anywhere from 12 to 70 years old.

Do you run company that specializes in musical tours? Do you know what it takes to successfully manage one?

I’m not saying that private jets aren’t incredibly wasteful in terms of their CO2 production and fossil fuel usage. I’m just saying that the motivation for criticizing Taylor Swift is less about how much she uses her private jet and more about how much political influence she might wield in the coming months. I think the arguments against her are bad faith arguments made either by people who simply don’t like her for the sake of not liking her or are trying to disarm her influence in whatever way they can. And I find that completely silly. And every “yeah but” argument you make and every person who downvotes me just proves me more and more right.

An overlooked part of that article.

it is unclear if she was personally traveling to St. Louis, where part of her extended family originally hails, or if the flights were for maintenance or testing.

Though, reading on from there, her trying to stop people from tracking her flights through lawsuits is just as bullshit as Musk trying to shut down the kid who was tracking his private jet flights. It’s public data and they chose to be public figures. They can both suck it up and deal with the consequences.

Here’s the problem with your argument. Taylor Swift actually has a reason to use a private jet on a regular basis. She’s actively moving around the world doing tours and needs the ability to travel great distances at a moment’s notice. However rich douchebags with too much time on their hands like Elon Musk don’t have this need. Neither do many of the other ultra rich people out there who own private jets and fly them all over the place.

And to clarify, I’m not a Swifty. I don’t really care for her music at all. I just think it’s goddamn stupid to criticize someone who actually has a purpose for using such a conveyance while there are others who have absolutely no reason to need such things who are getting a free pass just because they aren’t targets of a political campaign that is desperate to neutralize her influence.

And she is one of how many ultra rich people out there who have private jets and they use them to go every damn place?

This shit is so damn silly it’s not even funny.

My point is just that Lemmy is no longer made up of just Linux nerds. Over the course of the last couple of years the user base has diversified quite a bit.

I understand that this information is already basically public but there is a thin barrier to the average nitwit user accessing such information and going in a rampage screwing with people who have downvoted them. I’ll say this, if they make it more public I think I will just simply stop voting. I will continue to use Lemmy but only as a passive user.

Aren’t we all supposed to be Linux nerds in here?

After the meltdown that occurred when Reddit ultra monetize their API Lemmy acquired a lot more casual users. Especially when makers of Reddit apps switched over to making Lemmy apps instead.

That movie was literally about the cat saving her life from a little troll monster that actually did steal children’s breath.

Torrenting it is then.

You have to understand the absolutely massive amount of money being shoveled at the Olympics committee by the network that gains the right to show these performances. And the mountains of cash they in turn get in advertising revenue. The Olympics is one of the most capitalist events on the planet.

Wow, you are not wrong. It’s like it’s been fucking scrubbed from the internet. I may actually have to look for a torrent.

You’re not wrong. Americans have a lot of “America fuck yeah!” energy going on, the difference really would be that when we break from that mentality and start going “what the fuck America?” we don’t get arrested and put in jail or forcibly conscripted into a war we didn’t ask for.
