When you know you know sometimes! Me and my wife were a bit like this.

Cooking is always welcome.

Naw it’s not one sided, you just didn’t hear about the guy who got banned for accusing 4 people of being CIA agents.

Nebula, means tv, and dropout =/ none will be the next YouTube but it’s nice to have options I guess

Jeffrey Sachs is a cool smart and good guy. He gets how things work and wants things to go well for people.

Y’arr matey, that be so. Alas, thar be treasure buried here if ye have the wits te find it.

Andor was so goooooooooooooood.

I think season 2 was an improvement on season one, and the ending hit pretty hard. But I think Narkina 5 was the most powerful arc.

So many killer lines.

“One way out”

“I can’t swim”

So powerful. One way out for Kino Loy.

Also “how nice for you” … fuckin DEVESTATING.

Andor was amazing. It’s a genuine masterpiece. I love it so much.

I feel like, despite obviously surviving, Andor somehow did lose something at the end (if you’ve seen rogue one the end of Andor hits hard)

Andor is the best piece of Star Wars media and the best TV show I’ve ever seen. You don’t need to like Star Wars. I don’t know if seeing Star Wars would even increase your enjoyment. I think seeing Rogue One would probably be good but otherwise just jump in. No space wizards or laser swords or destiny or whatever. It’s so adult and grounded. I can’t believe Disney let them make this.

Honestly, make sure you show your boyfriend your lemmy posts lusting after him if you haven’t; he’ll be on top of the world and feel very secure!

He’s not wrong though, your friend might have unrealistic ideas about how things could go in the future…you’re the best person to judge that! If you think there’s something there then you’d better talk about it sooner than later! I do think that’s a special thing worth thinking about in this situation that makes it a little different from a different friendship.

Why?

That’s very true; I still would love to see him guillotined.

It’s because they think they’ll win those lawsuits. They may be right. They’re gonna pull an Alex jones: “oh come on, it’s a bit! Everyone knows it’s bullshit!”

I’m just getting into my first MUD! It’s neat!

This is such awful history; of course it works because it serves the US, but it does blow me away that otherwise well-meaning people continue to parrot it. You don’t have to be a “tankie” to stop spouting this nonsense.

You’re referring to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. That was a non-aggression treaty, not an “alliance.” The soviets would be pretty foolish to make an alliance with a country whose fascist genocidal leader, hitler, made clear the inescapable need to invade the soviet union in mein kampf.

You know who else had already made non-aggression pacts with the Nazis before that? The UK, France, Italy, Poland, Denmark, Estonia, and Latvia. You think they were “allied” with the Nazis?

Hell the Spanish civil war was a proxy war that the soviets had to pull out of to get ready for invasion (much to the ire of western anarchists forever).

No, man. The soviet position was pretty damned clear: they needed time to mobilize. You think they were mobilizing to deal with…what, Poland? Everyone knew what was happening between the Nazis and the soviets. They still weren’t ready, and got slaughtered.

Dislike the Soviet Union for other reasons. There are plenty of good ones. This is nonsense.
