I fucking hate the stigma surrounding birdwatching. Birds are fascinating, intelligent, and social creatures, and they constantly do things you wouldn’t expect.
Today, in the US Virgin Islands, I saw a pelican diving into the ocean for food, a pigeon digging determinately in the sand, and some weird tropical bird tossing mustard packets into the air over and over again.
I recommend everyone read Seabiscuit; by far the most remarkable non-fiction book I’ve ever read, and a real life fairy tale.
Do you have any bodies of water near you? You could buy an inflatable paddleboard for ~$200 and just float in the middle of a lake reading, listening to music, or meditating. Or smoking weed. I’ve tried them all and they’re all great!
I want off Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride.
Runaway memetic phenomenon
Wait, why?! DC doesn’t get proper representation. Or are you joking?
In any case, to say the people of the 50 states are adequately represented is foolish.
I will not allow it. Archives of their atrocities will live on.
Sounds like it’s time to establish a viable third party. Obviously, that is easier said than done, and many would consider it impossible. But left-wing sentiments continue to grow in popularity and we must not resign ourselves to a fate without challenging it!
It’s crazy to think about what a viable third party would look like, and how it would get off the ground. It’s tragic and says a lot about the world we live in that the only way I see it happening is through virality — memes and influencers — but then, how is this campaign funded in a way that competes with the corpo vaults, and how do you get the right people onboard?
For me, it was hiking to a waterfall in Costa Rica with no food and only one bottle of water. THANK FUCK it rained; we would have been in trouble if I couldn’t have had sips of water from the leaves to stay hydrated, and if the temperature had stayed as high as it was.
His policies are good for America, but cmon… do we really need a bigger, better military? Everyone was so deep into the personal drama of his past that they forgot to criticize his policies, it seems.
Yeah, totally. That doesn’t mean we can’t / shouldn’t be aware of past actions and vehemently disavow them, especially now that he’s won! Hopefully, the next anti-establishment politician isn’t a murderer with a Nazi tattoo with intents to bolster the military and incentivize service.
Please. Platner’s past is so spotty that there would only be a conspiracy if this didn’t get discussed.
I’m not telling you to avoid voting for him, but he’s definitely got a checkered past.
I understand the historical neo-Nazi ties, but I mean, AIPAC has its fingers in practically every politician. Practically every politician is a Zionist. It follows that the US government is occupied by Zionists, no?
I also am confused by how the article you linked seemingly equates Zionism with Judaism; haven’t anti-Zionists been putting effort into emphasizing that those two things are not the same? Yes, the neo-Nazis often use ZOG and JOG interchangeably. But the recent adoptees of the term do not.
I’ve been hung up on this issue specifically for a few weeks. My belief is that the use of this term does not automatically make one an anti-Semite or a neo-Nazi, despite its history. Are you concerned about the rising use of this term radicalizing people into neo-Nazisim?
Also, as an aside, I feel like there’s some disagreement as to what Zionism means. Zionism is the advocacy for a Jewish colonial state in Palestine; my understanding is that if one supports Israel’s right to exist, they are a Zionist. Do you disagree? Last time I brought this up I got downvoted and my comprehension skills were insulted, but I mean it’s literally the first sentence of the linked article.
Please try to engage with this comment in good faith.
You’re no fun, go back to Reddit chum!
I’m asking in earnest. The credibility of your argument depends on your provision of evidence!
Please direct me to resources. I fail to comprehend how an exploding lapel mic can cause a bullet-shaped perforation in one’s neck.
People love to malign Argentina for a Nazi presence and subsequently forget to mention the massive influx of Nazis into the US post-war. The Nazis in Argentina fled persecution, the Nazis in the US were given a golden ticket and government jobs.
Yeah, the only reason people are so pissed is because now instead of everyone in the US reaping the benefits of rampant imperialism and global oppression, only the elite are.
Americans are broadly incredibly self-centered and even here on Lemmy the majority of the leftists only consider what is best for them specifically, not what is best for the world.
It also has the greatest flight model and sound design of any space game, ever. This is an objective fact.
The flight model and sound design coupled with the visuals and the scale make it irreplaceable when you look at the market’s other offerings.
It’s just a shame the games code is so spaghetti, and that the engine is so old.
