    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    Calling the current regime in charge in Israel 'Nazis' is problematic given the views of ACTUAL Nazis and Neo-Nazis. They are definitely using fascists tactics, like amplifying the fear of Palestinians, as a way to maintain power while using indiscriminate force on those they label their...

    The Kaiju Thread of Building-Smashing, Flame-Breathing, and Slam-Dunking

    Yea, I wouldn't consider King Kong 1933 an art house film. You kind of have to compare it to other movies released in the era. It was more like 'Star Wars' in my opinion, VERY influential to what came later but rooted in the pulp fiction stories of the time. It WAS a popcorn flick and was...

    LGBTQ+ Transformers fan thread

    You might be kidding, but it's very true in my case. During my last purge I got rid of my feminine shoes. Now that I'm finally embracing who I am at home, I'm gonna have to rectify that issue(when the budget allows, at least). I have a bad feeling I'm gonna end up needing more closet space...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Also 'be fruitful and multiply' was(and still is) a thing in religious circles. Kids of that era were also often used as extra income. Child labor was EVERYWHRE with kids as young as 4 working on factory floors or in coal mines.

    The Kaiju Thread of Building-Smashing, Flame-Breathing, and Slam-Dunking

    IIRC that's the Monsterverse version of Ghidorah from Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

    LGBTQ+ Transformers fan thread

    Very true. At the very least it felt great being able to wear what I wanted to with another human able to see me. She did say I need better shoes, though, lol.

    LGBTQ+ Transformers fan thread

    Thank you. She's got concerns, obviously and she upset that I hid things for so long(understandable, I still feel guilt for not telling her before we built a life together) I don't think it's anything we can't overcome, though. Still gonna be a long time before I really come out outside of the...

    MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT EVER!!! Guy makes Nixon, Harding and Jackson look like rank amateurs..... Worst part is he isn't even trying to hide it.

    Finally did it!!!! Finally came out to my wife and kicking myself for taking so long..... Really hate anxiety. She seems supportive(given that most of her friends are LGBTQ+, I shouldn't be surprised, but anxiety ain't exactly rational) and I'm both still anxious and excited for what the...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Nah, you gotta say something to hurt his ego... Maybe "Small dick energy" while pointing at him.

    Who's trying to break the internet today?

    Firefox is open source. Can always switch to Zen or one of the other browsers based on their codebase. I agree that generative algorithms are here to stay, but you can still be critical of companies using them. For the most part the ONLY reason they use them is so they can avoid paying...

    I hope it's 1, but I have a bad feeling it's 2. He doesn't have the pull to do 3 yet, thankfully. We've already been conducting acts that would give Venezuela the right to counterattack us, might as well make it official.... I'm no fan of Maduro, but trying to force a regime change by force...

    Anti-Semitism

    I have hope that though things are heading in a dark direction right now(on multiple fronts...) things will get better. I'm not Jewish, but I do sincerely hope those of you who are stay safe and will do what I can to try and make it get better, even if all I can do at the moment is try and...

    Anti-Semitism

    We were 16 at a time when there were still a lot of WWII vets still around to set us straight and social media didn't exist to prop up alt-right influencers. I remember making transphobic jokes at around 16 despite being a closeted trans woman..... Granted I didn't spend much time trying to...

    Anti-Semitism

    Ugh. With any luck he'll grow out of it. Lord knows I was a bit of insufferable jerk with questionable views back when I was 16, though I don't recall being purposefully antisemitic(I knew people who were, though). If he continues down that alt-right path, though, you might have to cut him...

    AI don't trust techbros

    Best part is said military AI called out the boat bombings as war crimes. Once again a promoter of AI is being lambasted by the very AI he promotes.

    2025 Celebrity Death Thread

    Yea, first report I saw suggested it was a robbery gone wrong, but something just didn't feel right about that, especially given that they were stabbed, not shot. It being a relative makes that make a bit more sense, assuming it's true.
