Thank you for letting them dip out quietly. wtf.
He should've fired them. Unless their felons with active warrants these guys would never bother them.
I don't think Americans are aware of what their food is going to cost without cheap exploitable labor.
About the same tbh.
These squads always look the same. Pudgy white guys who aren't well put together. They don't know what they're doing most of the time..
What? There's 2 fatties in there and they look like they know what they're doing. Believe it or not plainclothes units don't want to look like cops.
I mean, look at them as a unit. They look goofy. I understand multi agency cooperation but let's be real. They don't look serious. They look like the boys about to hit the airsoft range. One is excited about his buddy's gun for some reason, when they really should all be familiar enough with their shit that it's no big deal. Probably some new toy bought with tax money though. There's no uniform in sight. Just a bunch of tacticool gear in whatever ensemble you want apparently. Also we're gonna gather out here in this parking lot and goof off till 0600 then it's gravy time.
I can see the SWAT jacket on one.

I honestly don't really have a QRD other than another maintainer stepped down due to what he saw was a slight by the Linux maintainers 
. Funny thing is the guy who set him off (Ted Tso) is the guy who caused the rust filesystem maintainer to step down as well due to a very public grilling

These don't have to be explicitly political. Just something that can be applied to our politics. Unfortunately while the writing in Madoka Magica is top tier and the story makes me feel in ways that few other forms of media can, it does not do politics very well which is why I took my favorite quote from a series that is actually based around geopolitics.
In a way this quote truly encapsulates the condition of our current political system, and in a way it mirrors the shinobi world quite well. For example we don't get to choose our sides. People act like we get a choice but there just are not many options. For example like the shinobi, we are given a village, a country. And that country can be segmented down into clans, families, and many other forms of allegiances. All of these are decided entirely by the nature of our own birth, rather than our own choices.
We are guided only by the necessity to make the most prudent choice. We are expected to be part of the group and sacrifice our entire being for its benefit. Like the shinobi each one of us is little more than a tool to be discarded when we are no longer useful. Is that not the way things should be?
Anyways, I'm excited to see your favorite anime quotes that can be applied to political systems! If anyone finds away to do this with the Madoka Magica series please let me know! I have been trying to find a way for years but it just doesn't seem to fit.

Redditors mad x24
Zelensky is a heck of a lot smarter than Trump so
Trump offered 500 million for all resources and his personal guarantee so 4 years of peace
Redditors mad mad mad
No, he still thinks he can win. That's why the Russian army is still in Ukraine.
Hitler won his last battle on April 1945. His longest streak without winning a battle is couple weeks.
Ukraine won't its last battle in September 2022. They haven won a battle in over 2 years.
PUUUUUUUUTIN IS LOSING
https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1ikrk40/russia_to_draft_100000_troops_putin_is_not/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Russian_mobilization
700k left 80% returned
Will 18-21 year old return that were 3 years ago 14-17 ?
But Russia is just increasing it army size and it has nothing to do with Ukraine since Russian using volunteers and 300k contract soldiers so regular army is inside Russia.
Also Redditors copping with China taking over Russia. That will be a gg for whole west that's why Trump trying to cozy with Russia.
But with all the resources in Ukraine we have to do simple math. So if Ukraine has oil for 100 buxx and it cost 200 buxx to remove it than it's absolutely not worth it and Ukrainian resources ain't easy to get on top of it they have small amount of it. Greenland of Australia is more worthy.
TLDR: Trump offers 500 millions for west Ukraine

the dejenerate podcast - my tv show that i am writing wish to direct 19:07
Jinxthinker is glad he's not in the European Union. Frick all those dumb countries.
0:25 We go to Rachel Zegler Fans page on Facebook. He encountered new photographs. He needs to speak to her about being in the new TV show that he's working on + how she's in danger from the right wing Bolsheviks like Stalin
1:20 He should be Zegler's husband/armed bodyguard with a gun for both of their protection.
1:45 Jinxthinker is a famously reviled anti-libertarian/racist/white activist. You can check any of the right wing Hitler style or libertarian websites to see him labeled as an anti
2:45 You can tell by looking at people's faces if they're anti's or not. Zeglar is an anti and some type of mestizo
3:05 Calls for the summary execution of Alec Baldwin's family before he is shot in the head in a desert
3:40 Jinxthinker will need to step in as the leader/protection of Zegler.
OBS frickery. Jinxthinker doesn't want to show you the whole script
4:00 Describing his script: it has full s*x scenes, violence, swearing, 18+, it ain't pokemon b-word.
4:25 Brings up tv show.odt in Open Office. He wants Anna Taylor Joy to play a role, she will need to dye her hair black.
4:40 Jinxthinker plays a secondary character called Jaxon who is black. He's a leader of an Atlanta gang of black and mixed race British people who live in Atlanta?
5:00 Rachel is played by Anna Taylor Joy and is emo. Megan is played by Rachel Zeglar (name might change). Whole thing is set in Atlanta. There's real s*x, no fake butt s*x, so it's like relevant to the story. Also they're gangstas, the most feared ones in the city of Atlanta. They fight gangs of Catholics and own a nightclub called Cromwell's.
6:20 There's another scene in the backstory. Where Rachel is a cheerleader in University and she gets expelled unfairly by the dean of the University for defending herself against some chavs.
- 7:20 She's the toppest cheerleader and looks like this AI woman. The setting is Atlanta if it were Italian and Irish and shit like that
8:10 the Good cheerleading factors in the story because she uses her cheerleading to frick up a racist who is bullying a Christian Afro-Asiatic .
- 9:30 we look for one of the violences, it's pretty cool. They go to an Italian restaurant to take care of business because they're dealing drugs. It's no mercy gang affiliation
10:40 The bad guy at the moment is a bad guy called Luigi named after the CEO shooter, right
. They go to a Catholic church where Luigi meets the Bishop/white nationalist leader to worship satan together.11:20 Dialog includes Rachel declaring herself an anti as a bad guy screams to Hitler, Elon, and Trump for help.
11:40 To set up the next episode, Luigi meets Bishop Timothy O'Biden very subtly named after Biden and a right winger he met once (this is a deep-cut reference to when he went to a right wing meet up back when he was a right winger and thought everyone was r-slurred)
12:20 we look for a scene of an episode where she narrates her backstory as you watch it happen. Rachel decides to kill the dean for expelling her & he's also a libertarian (she doesn't know this until the CP falls out of his briefcase after she assaults him)
13:30 Rachel is 28 years old like Anna Taylor Joy. He wants a 3rd female character, but hasn't thought of an actress yet. The only problem is Rachel Zegler is hated by white nationalists
14:10 They go to McDonalds and have a burger and say I love you at some point. Both characters are bougie and rich and shit too.
14:55 They're both owners of an emo club and drug dealers and rich as frick badasses. They get into selling heroin because people want a comedown from the ecstasy, but the Bishop wants to flood the streets with heroin to crash the economy(? Heroin price?).
15:40 Then they find the heroin is coming from the catholic church which has Hitler and Mussolini iconography and Spy x Family CP on the walls and a loli shrine for wanking to CP.
16:10 Trump is also in it as the mysterious white nationalist leader you only hear on the phone
16:40 Eventually the emo gang will recruit British and Black and Multiracial gang members to take over America and make it a refuge. Because it's based on real life, right?
17:00 Jinxthinker needs funding and also he will direct it. Will consider Prada and Gucci product placement.
17:30 Further descriptions of the characters looks/clothes
Please God, let him make a pilot episode in Vyond Free Trial 
!jinxthinkers would you kill hundreds of Irishmen and Italians to keep Cromwell's open to emo ecstasy/heroin enjoyers?

SNL had Tom Hanks play a racist Trump supporter who wouldnβt shake a Black manβs hand. This propaganda is dumb and isnβt funny.
— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) February 17, 2025
When will they learn?? pic.twitter.com/b5s5culphF
For those of you not in the know, Black Jeopardy is a recurring SNL sketch in which the trivia categories are replaced with Black slang,. Naturally, many of the jokes use Black stereotypes as the punchline, so you'd think rightoids would love this. Sadly, the chuds of the moment are too thin-skinned to appreciate this.
8 years ago, Tom Hanks joined Black Jeopardy as Doug, a Trump supporter (hick) who fits into the show perfectly due to a shared distrust of elites, but is reluctant to shake the host's hand.
Recently, as part of the 50th Anniversary, SNL did another Black Jeopardy. It was the least funny one so far, but that's not important. At the end, Doug appears and does the same thing as before (getting a question right, is reluctant to shake the host's hand).
Rightoids were not having this, proclaiming 
and 
finding common ground to be instead to mockery of all rightoids, and an expression of the liberal elite's pure contempt for them.

Alright, I wasn't going to say anything. I was just going to keep my head down, and pretend everything was fine like I always do. But I can't. I won't. The way I get treated on this forum compared to other users is disgusting.
I see the way you all respond to the "cool" posters. The power users. The verifiedhots... The gym bros, the egirls. You shower them with upmarseys, hang on their every word, treat them like royalty. Meanwhile, I get mocked, ignored, and ridiculed. Every. Single. Day. If I'm lucky, it's even worse to be ignored.
What was my crime? Because I work a job to support myself that isn't considered glamorous? Because I have had social struggles in my life? The double standards are insane. I will get different results than someone else from doing the same exact thing simply because they are more popular than me? I'm just to accept my place in the world? That other people will get to win while I just watch from the sidelines?
I am just to get treated like I'm r-slurred by people who are literally 5 times dumber than me?
I'm not taking shit from any of you anymore. Consider it personal now. gfy @Rad_juju i gave you a warning that you refused to heed.
I actually used to think that was my place. I had accepted my role in this society and grown comfortable in it. I'm not wasting anymore time. Because the truth is this isn't close to my place. I'm not done yet. Not even close. In the next few months I can promise that you will cease to recognize me. Not a trace of my former self will remain.
I will take my god given elite genetics and indomitable will to reforge myself as something new. I don't care if the odds are against me. This feeling I have now. It tells me that I can do literally whatever I want. Why can't I? Like actually what is just stopping from doing whatever I want?
That is why I have made some changes.
1. I have put in my 2 weeks at McDonalds.
It is holding me back, spending so much time there. It is stagnating me. I must go where I can grow. Which is why I will be moving across the country to pursue my passion of becoming a writer. I have enough savings to support myself for about 6 months due to a recent inheritance I have received, as well as some government payments I have recently managed to secure. Six months should be more than enough time for me to secure a role and start supporting myself using my writing.
2. I have decided that I will be getting a six pack. This will take me 6 weeks at the most now that I know the path forward.
3. I am going to get into a real life fight. Preferably with someone from rDrama. I do not have much experience with martial arts, but I don't feel fear or pain anymore. Serious opponents please enter my DMs.
4. I am going to use my author money to fly egirls out to me, or fly out to the egirls. Now that I am about to start a job that will allow me to work from anywhere in the country I can afford to travel more. I have noticed a trend in the past that when an egirl and I did not work out it was usually due to the distance between us. Not the lack of feelings.
This is what will be considered my "winter arc" to say.
As for those who doubted me? The janitors of the website, those of you who bullied me because you were so happy that you finally found someone "worse" than you that you just couldn't resist. (only slightly less pathetic than the jannies.
Did you feel powerful? Picking one me when I wasn't even fighting back.
Do you think I'll forget about you once I've built a body your faulty genetics couldn't provide if you were trained from birth? Do you think I'll forget about you once I've fricked more egirls in one week than you have in your entire lives? Do you think I'll be even the slightest bit humble?
No I won't. I'm coming for blood. And when I come for my enemies they shall know that it was their own actions that brought this divine justice down upon their heads. Their inability to simply treat me as human, to take me seriously? No I won't let it slide. I won't let it slide for anyone else either. Nobody is going to experience what I did on rDrama ever again, and that's a fact. I will show you what true power is.
So where does this all lead? What am I going to do with all of this power?
Well. First I will be using it to form a harem of egirls. I will use the clout I am gaining from my fairly successful instagram account to farm them. I know now that love is not about patience or waiting for the right time to strike like my calculating mind is more inclined towards, but it is pure relentless aggression. I was shooting myself in the foot by trying to make friends with women and wait for mutual attraction to form. I shall no longer be doing this. I will literally fly to wherever the egirls are.
Next, I will use the fame and clout I secure from poaching all these egirls to draw an audience. An audience of my puppets who will willfully prop my work up, spreading it far and wide to the ignorant masses who are stuck in the cold away from the warm embrace of my knowledge. It will be a work so grand that none can will be able to deny that I am the best. Will probably be able to lean into fitness influencing once my transformation is complete.
So go on and laugh if you want. It will probably take time for you all to realize I'm not joking. That these changes I'm going through are real. That my will is stronger than all of yours combined. I'm not going to justify myself, all I can say is get ready to eat your words in a few months once my transformation is complete. None of you will ever forget me. When this is all through it will be undeniable that I alone am truly the one without compare.
Please stay tuned for my substack announcement. And follow me on instagram which I have linked on my profile I have already managed to acquire sponsors, I just need to get them to pay me. I'll probably be taking a break from rdrama for a bit to chill out. Don't try and find me if you know what's good for you. I would just like to be alone.
Sincerely,
Someone who has been pushed a Bridge too far.

WARNING THIS POST CONCERNS LEFTISTS SO EVERYTHING IS 
Honestly I (f19) feel like I messed up very badly here, despite having been the "more educated" one on the topic. I blame it on my impulsivity, bad debating skills and lack of empathy, and now I regret having cut someone off too quickly. (posting from a throwaway acc. Might delete this post later). Ok, very long wall of text incoming, only read if you have time to care to hear about the troubles of a dumb leftist teen...
We got along greatly, shared a lot of hobbies and interest in the same media, she (f20) seemed to like me a lot, and I might've even developed a crush on her. But then the issue appeared when I once compared the depiction of an oppressive system from "Arcane" to what's going on in Palestine. Turns out she's "neutral", is only focused on the current war (without any regards to the broader historical context) and refuses to support a liberated Palestine bc then Hamas would rule and enforce sharia law (she's specifically concerned about the women. In her own words, she "can't support a country that treats women worse than animals") (also she spoke of Hamas as if they're the only Palestinian semi-governing power, it seems she has never heard of the PA (although I'm aware that they're collaborators of the occupation)). (Also she wrongfully regurgitated the claim that Israel is more tolerant towards other religions.) I told her, among other things, about how Israel forces all of its citizens into military training in order to maintain the occupation, but her only response to that was "yeah, I too wish they would leave the women out of the conscription", completely missing the point. I also mentioned the Nakba, but eh, to no avail. And to be fair, it was probably a mistake on my part to not provide sources right away the first time it came up. I wish I had just sent her the purplewashing-article from decolonizepalestine.com right away instead of wrestling with my weak words. And I feel like in general I didn't address her points and concerns well and precise enough, such as failing to make it clear enough that supporting Palestinian liberation has nothing to do with inherently supporting Hamas' ideology, and the reason most people (including those who'd be marginalized under them) are not condemning them right now is because they (alongside other armed groups of different ideologies) are currently the only effective resistance against Israel in Gaza. And I realize I might've made a crappy transition to that topic in the first place too, it started with me disecting the in-show argument "you're one of the good [members of an oppressed group]" and arguing that a people under occupation can't/shouldn't be separated into "good/harmless civilians" and "armed/evil terrorists", if the root cause of "terroristic actions" is oppression from an outer force and said "terrorists" are sometimes the sole glimmer of hope of their societies. And when I meant to say something in the sense of "Gaza is an example of that, where you can't separate the people based on their reactions to their own oppression, the 'peaceful' ones may disagree with the 'radical's ideology and methods but in the end they still share a common struggle and goal, the true big bad here being the colonial oppressor (for now) who created the conditions for violent resistance and religious fundamentalism to spread in the first place", it ended up coming across to her as "all of Gaza supports Hamas".
Eventually I just gave up arguing, on the basis that "hey, at least she supports a ceasefire too", and we continued our friendship and communication like normal. Though that underlying feeling of frustration and disappointment kept lingering within me...
Some time later, over the course of a few months, we watched some movies together... and some of these movies (e.g. "Wicked") also contained themes of oppression and discrimination, presenting fictionalized depictions of them in fantasy settings, and another one was about colonialism and it's effects on nature. Obviously, when watching these, my brain also inevitably made the connection with Palestine (among other things), but was frustrated knowing that I couldn't tell her that without having to argue again.
Over time, I opted to sprinkle in some political articles (not even just about Palestine specifically, but also White Feminism and other instances of colonialism and imperialism, including an analysis on zionist antisemitism) in my stories inbetween pics of my mundane activities, hoping she'd read them, without me having to shove it in her face directly. But it proves to have been for nothing...
Fast forward, and I share with her a leftist commentary&analysis video about Arcane ("Arcane has always been centrist", great watch btw). We discuss some stuff we agree and disagree on in a civil manner. Eventually I somehow couldn't help but mention Zionism and Palestine in a small side comment again (my bigger argument was not centered around it). She noticed, and got upset again, disagreeing and stating "uhm I disagree, Palestinians aren't oppressed, they are the ones who started it and are being racist towards Israelis". I got annoyed and replied something along the lines of "Bruh, Israelis are the indeed occupiers and oppressors here, how you still so ignorant?" and announced that I'll share some sources for once. She took great offense to being called "ignorant", and claimed she'll also share some from her side.
I took some time for research and sent her several long lists with sources covering several aspects (the beginnings and proof that this is indeed colonialism, casualties comparison, Hamas & PA and other factions, women (including female journ*lists and resistance fighters), greenwashing, ressource distribution...) with some of my own commentary in between (which for once was actually quite calm, objective (Edit: ok the first few messages were emotionally charged too), and non-accusatory). Though it didn't take too long either, because I have already semi-prepared myself for such confrontation. Then I waited. 1 week of silence. Then, her reply finally arrived. It was not as bad as I thought it'd be, but still disappointing. She essentially just wanted to retreat from the argument, refused to share her sources bc "it would only stoke the flames", once more insisted she was already well-informed long before receiving my links since she "has been keeping up with this war for a long time", and suggested we should just shift our focus away from this topic because she otherwise enjoys hanging out and talking with me. I took offense to that, since she essentially admitted to not even have bothered looking at anything I sent. And her offer just... rubbed me wrong. Having to avoid this one topic when it's reflected so often around us, in reality and fiction. And in general, how could she deny the plight of one people, but then preach how "all oppression is wrong"? If she's on a completely different page than I am? So I took only 24hrs to draft different responses, and sent some replies that could be dumbed down to this: "Sorry mate, but if I can't discuss stuff like this with you, we're not compatible" "Also, you mean you can't support guys who commit mass-r*pes, but yet you are fine with me 'supporting them'? (since according to your own logic, pro-Palestine and pro-Hamas are the same thing)" "I really don't want to do this, but I think it'd be better for both of us if we go seperate ways. Goodbye" and one pic with a cartoon saying "We can disagree and still be friends - yeah, on pizza toppings, not genocide". And before she had the chance to respond, I blocked her.
And now I wish I had taken more time to think, before doing any of this. Because now she definitly resents me for good. And it would've not ended like this, had I done things differently from the start. We had plans together, and I ruined them. I wish i could've either kept it alive but simply at arms length (like make it clear if she insists on these views, I merely can't consider her my closest of friends and that our relationship evolving into anything beyond platonic will be off the table), or just break it off much gentler, without blocking... The subtle contempt I felt before that point has abruptly transformed into much more debilitating shame, guilt and regret since.
To wrap this all up, I guess the main questions I derive from this experience and would like you to give your thoughts on are:
Was I justified in feeling the way I did (even if I might've overreacted?
What would you have done in my place?
Do you think we could've continued being friends like that, that it would've been ok?
And any advice on coping with the consequences of my actions and my grief overall? Surely I'm not the first to have been in this sort of situation, right?
General advice and sources on how to be more compassionate and come off as less zealous when engaging in debates like these?
Bc in left circles, we always argue about how friends can agree-to-disagree, except when it comes to human rights and genocide. Would this have also fallen into that? Since otherwise we're both very pro- any human right you could think of (except she isn't really pro-Palestinian rights, I guess... or technically she is worried about Palestinian women, but only in regards to the violence they suffer at the hands of domestic patriarchy, not recognizing the additional suffering caused by colonialism and that either source of gender-based violence does not justify the other). And isn't there at the same time a common complaint about how the left is so weak because we are so divisive over too many things?? (or does it apply here at all?)
Like do not get it twisted, she is not evil, she is not a zio herself (though one of her fave celebrities is one), she probably has her heart in the right place, she's just very stubborn and was unlucky to have received a half-assed and probably patronizing attempt at education from me, an equally stubborn plus impulsive and hot-headed individual. And now she's surely heartbroken too, maybe even more than I am. She is a very forgiving person, but I doubt we could ever get reconcile this time... or if we should even get reconcile at all. Bc now I know I won't convince her to consider a different perspective ever. And if her stance made my uncomfortable, mine probably made her uncomfortable too.
Ok thank you for reading my entire stupid yappery, I'm interested to hear you all.
You were a massive, ginormous peepee. You shouldn't apologize. She's better off without your endless diatribes, purity tests and holier-than-thou "learn or burn" link dumps. Poor girl was like, here's a dweeb who literally supports fundamentalists Islamist terror groups and think raping, mutilating and murdering girls at a music festival is "resistance", but I'm still gonna give his shmuck butt a chance. And you just kept blowing it over and over again. Leave her alone and go be miserable by yourself or with someone who does some useless Palestine virtue signaling street theater.
She didn't "engage" with your nonsense link dumps because she's a mature, emotionally developed human being who prioritized a relationship with you over political disagreements that neither of you have any actual influence over. She didn't need the validation of defeating your viewpoints or convincing you. She gave you the most precious thing she has, herself, her time, her attention, even as you kept insinuating that she was lacking because she didn't submit to your arguments.
I know you're a kid. Do whatever you want. She's better not being around a toxic person, and if you're not one yet, you're well on your way. As for her, don't you worry, she'll put a finger out and guys will line up around the block to give her attention and care and support and love which she deserves.
You didn't expect this on a leftist sub, but here we are. I hope one day you can look back and really see what an ugly person you were to a nice girl who went out of her to overlook areas of disagreement, try to make peace and be with you, something which is very rare in this world.
Neutral is complicit, frick her
