No but I’m pretty sure Anti-Feminism Australia is the account that unironically stans Nick Adams (Alpha Male) so it’s real to them.

Hopefully they disengage from interacting with women for the rest of their lives with the belief that robot wives are just around the corner, it’ll be a huge relief to the women in their lives.

Man I hate what EA did to the PvZ franchise after the initial success. Such potential

The bonus cringe is they could have simply driven into the spot instead of reversing in, which means the drivers side door (Australia) opens to the shrubs. I don’t even drive and I know this.

Cucumbers aren’t native to England. They’re not even native to Europe.

The English, get this, incorporated the exciting new vegetable into their diet after being introduced by Indians, and ignored whiny people telling the world “cucumbers aren’t English” until they died out and we’re forgotten by history. Imagine the 17th century version of yourself saying they’ll burn down any teahouse that sells the exotic Indian “cucumber” because it’s not English?

You can’t expand your culture if you never try to expand it and “burn down” any change.

Imagine the bellend in 1650 that went “oh tea? I don’t touch that Chinese stuff, never tried it and never will, and I’ll burn down any establishment that sells it”

Commiserating

Pringles aren’t legally chips because they’re made from mashed potato dough (as opposed to slices of potato), hence why marketing calls them crisps even in the US.

A 3 hour tour!

.world pre-emptively blocked them (twice) because they’re nerds they’re hosted in the EU and they thought they’d get in trouble by association for being federated with instances that promotes discussion of something illegal in their physical server’s jurisdiction. They had a lot of traffic. The db0 comm is still alive.

His grandfather was also a very successful chiropractor in Canada, owning a 20 room house and a private plane from damaging people’s spines for a living and helped popularize the pseudoscience of Chiropractics in Canada.

It’s just grifters all the way down. If you told me his ancestors went town to town selling “cure all elixirs” that’s just ground up horse hooves, sawdust suspended in cider vinegar, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Wait the executive at News Corp during the phone hacking scandal still works in journalism??

I’m mildly surprised.

Reading that post, the OP linked an unsourced Imgur album with blatant lies like “10,000 people were incinerated and hosed down drains” spliced between actual photos of the protest is fucking wild. The 10,000 figure was reported once then immediately retracted, the fact that OP was posting blatant propaganda as fact was conveniently left out as “tankie censorship”.

Let’s put that into perspective: US intelligence officially puts the number below 900. The OP was saying it’s over 10,000. It’s an order of magnitude above the 3 letter agencies of the US.

.world posting about censorship when they preemptively censor any discussion about piracy is hilarious.

They were never even warned by authorities, one of the admins is paranoid and loves intellectual property.

“Tankie” in the traditional sense of someone who uncritically supports the USSR in the handling of 1956’s uprising? Probably not.

While Kruschev’s use of tanks in 1956 was heavy handed, the Hungarian alliance with the Axis in WWII and participation of Operation Barbarossa, lingering fascist sympathisers and nationalists remained in Hungary.

This coupled with the Communist Party of Hungary’s less than equitable redistribution of land/castles/other properties earlier in the 1950’s (favouring giving properties to ranking CPH members instead of distributing it to the proletariat equally). This created resentment for the Party, and an image of the Communists as no better than the Monarchy that came before or the Fascists that came after.

The Hungarian uprising had elements of fascist sympathisers, monarchists, bourgeoisie, etc but also legitimate critics of the handling of the situation. It never should have come to that, and a more educated/self critical Communist Party in Hungary could have prevented things from getting that far. The people should have benefitted a lot more from a better redistribution of wealth.

The above issues coupled with Soviet distrust of Hungarians (since they did invade the Soviet Union in the 40’s) led to a swift and harsh reaction towards the uprising, seeing it as just a reactionary revolt.

Now, am I a tankie in the Reddit redefinition, of anyone that critically supports Cuba, China, Vietnam and their style of government? Yeah, I suppose I am. This is no more radical a position than Malcolm X or the Black Panthers who also supported the late USSR, China and Cuba.

太丢脸了。

Like this is deeply embarrassing. Nancy Pelosi kneeling while wearing Kente Cloth levels of embarrassing. It shows OP doesn’t have any close Chinese friends and also demonstrates a reddit headline level of understanding of China; Hong Kong is not behind the firewall, HKers can (and often do) post this picture.

As a Chinese person, the mental image of OP smugly posting this to “own the tankies” in the same way MAGA dipshits post “Let’s Go Brandon” hoping to own the liberals has given me a near lethal amount of second hand cringe.

Please, for the love of god, never approach a Chinese person with this attitude irl. This is on par with ordering an “Irish Car Bomb” in an Irish pub on St. Patricks day, or saying “grassy-ass” to your Hispanic server instead of “thank you”, or trying to use anime Japanese around Japanese people, or code switching to AAVE around black people.

.world pre-emptively blocked the piracy comms because they are ostensibly based in Germany and have to abide by EU rules re: promotion/discussion of copyright infringement.

Despite the fact that they were never even issued a warning for such an obscure internet forum, and plausible deniability because the content wasn’t even theirs, they thought it’s better be paranoid safe than sorry.

ETA: so now .world has a stricter and more draconian policy regarding the discussion of piracy than Reddit, a publically traded entity based in the US, which has even harsher copyright infringement laws.

I mean Newton thought alchemy was a real science. Apparently he wrote over a million words spread out over years on alchemy and conducted countless experiments, these papers were only found after his death.

There’s a whole bunch of .world Americans in the comments.

鬼佬 be out in force.

Todd Howard: we hear you fans, we are currently working on updates for Morrowind, Starfield and Elder Scrolls Online which will break add-on/mod support and ruin the frame rate for those games instead of just FO4!
