Calling Israel's apartheid "modern" to me kind of implies that South Africa's apartheid, whose transitional period ended in 1994, was somehow "ancient" or "old-fashioned"... Yeah, you can rest assured that apartheid/segregation always has been far too modern.
he has exactly one voice that he can do but lord knows that wont stop him and i respect that
yes but it's like the most Powerful voice to exist
SungWon Cho I remember in a recent-ish Q&A talked about basically this. Voice actors aren't really, like, paid to be able to mask their voices or do a million and one different impressions: they're paid to act, with their voices. Now obviously having range doesn't hurt, but range is not a necessary skill to be a good VA. SungWon really emphasized this point, and I think it kinda changed the way I look at VA as a profession.
Some chud I used to see regularly: "Blackrock is funding WOKE in the movies in order to change pubic opinion!!!"
Meanwhile, actual conservative billionaires:
Curse English idioms, I literally thought they were rebranding to Mud.
Holy shit this is such a certified "Epic Rap Battles of History: Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton" moment
Hexbear has the highest proportion of people with neopronouns in their names that I've seen on the entire fediverse, and for that reason alone I would prefer that they stay federated.
As far as I understand, lemmy.world is banning/defederating piracy communities. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
Yep, this is a real thing that was actually printed in a NZ newspaper.
Here's the same text in an Aussie newspaper.
The text was originally a caption for this article in the March 1912 issue of Popular Mechanics.
The earliest use of the term "greenhouse gases" was in 1896. In April of that year, a paper by the coiner of the term, Svante Arrhenius, became the first published to suggest a link between CO2 and long-term climate variations. He would in his later work explicitly suggest that burning of fossil fuels will cause global warming.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in their tribute to Arrhenius wrote,
While Arrheniusโ prediction [of warming] received great public interest, this typically waned in time but was revived as an important global mechanism by the great atmospheric physicist Carl Gustaf Rossby who initiated atmospheric CO2 measurements in Sweden in the 1950s.
In other words, in the 1890s-1920s, the idea of the greenhouse effect and anthropogenic global warming were widely known and popular and received public interest, but fell out of favor shortly thereafter. One must wonder why.

Alright, look at me, deer comrade. Look. at. me.

So you do not seem to understand the implications of what I have written: somehow the parse tree that you have subconsciously drawn in your mind is completely different from the interpretation that I intended when I typed those 26 words. So I will now clarify exactly what I am trying to say: I would feign โ that is, I would completely and utterly fabricate โ an overtly enthusiastic support for the actually revolting American imperialist project that is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, if, and only if, doing so would mean that I would attract the attention of a set of anthropomorphized communist hyenas. Not the hyenas in the picture, though โ they aren't anthropomorphized enough, you see.
So in other words, I am attempting to imply that I desire to be publicly humiliated and mayhaps even eaten.

Do you understand what I'm saying now? I mean, I'm a real freak. I'm not normal. Like, I want it to scare the shit out of me, too. I want to be an entirely different person by the end of the first eight hours.
If the Hexbears were just a little bit more anthro, suddenly the American pig-dogs building military bases in my country would sound kinda poggers ngl
RDJ_pointing_at_self: What counts as politics is a political question in itself, with a subjective answer melded by the hegemon. Absolutely everything can be connected to politics in some way.
