@HeartyBeast me too. Pain Pus and Poison is a masterpiece.

Thanks for doing this. It won’t let me upvote you.

Looks badass. I love how she seems to have decorated the wheel spokes with foliage.

BRICS is a trading bloc not a military alliance.

Also, BRICS is rumored to be starting its own currency and we have already seen stuff like Sri Lanka using rupees to deal with its economic crisis. That’s going to be very attractive to some countries hence the clamour to join.

They are trying a genocide, looking like the villain while doing it kind of comes with the territory.

Probably Twitter.

I think you’re right - women are also socialized to seek out social/interpersonal connections more than men; this is a big factor in why the suicide rate for elderly men tends to be significantly higher than for elderly women.

This doesn’t explain the 60 year olds but with the elderly (70+) women in my life, the vulnerability to misinformation is also an artifact of their comparatively poor levels of education. They were schooled with the expectation that they would be SAHMs.

Worth noting that’s Hexbear not Lemmy as a whole. Hexbear has a unique culture.

To answer the question, the way you attract openly cis women is create spaces where they are definitely not bullied, trolled, and stalked. The fediverse is young and has relatively few mod tools.

There are plenty of cis women on mastodon as far as I can see.

This. Lemmy.world is probably the most vanilla. I suspect there are probably more cis women on instances like Beehaw as well.

I agree with you. Beheading means decapitation as a form of execution.

At this point it’s really splitting hairs. The IDF literally has a program called “Where’s Daddy” that allows them to make sure suspects are at home with their families when they bomb them; so I think it’s safe to infer that they intend to kill at least some portion of children.

I liked it better before miniclip bought it. There used to be a really fast paced clone called petriedish that was full of Russians, Poles, and Ukrainians, wonder what happened to it.

Ikr! Pretty sure its a reference to the Spanish Inquisition’s expulsion of Jewish people in the 1490s.

In other words it’s not just super random whataboutism, it’s also a dogwhistle to the “chosen people versus antisemitic rest of the world” narrative that Netanyahu et al use to drum up support from their base.

in a major blow to the American-led effort to create a maritime corridor for humanitarian supplies into the war-torn enclave

in a major blow to the American-led effort to create a ridiculous PR exercise to smokescreen their complicity in the starvation of the genocide-torn occupied territory.

Fixed it for them.

They would select for skills needed for that film eg running underfoot on cue. They would also likely be trying to match cats with doppelgangers.

For example, here’s Ian McKellan talking about 4 identical cats on the set of Apt Pupil each of whom had particular skills needed for the scene where he kills a cat:

This was the day of the Cats - there were four identical ginger toms. The docile cat which could be thrown and shaken and swung in the air and just miaowed for more. The cat which could move to order. A third who could eat on cue. Then there was the feral cat only to be approached by its trainer, wearing an armoured glove! All feline manouevres were achieved by the bribe of edible paste, overseen by an animal rights official, who was on set to protect the 4 pussies.

Staten Island.

Their harrassment of Ms Bensouda is super creepy, first they sent an envelope of money to her house and then Mossad came to her in a hotel room:

In one of the earliest encounters, Cohen surprised Bensouda when he made an unexpected appearance at an official meeting the prosecutor was holding with the then DRC president, Joseph Kabila, in a New York hotel suite.

Sources familiar with the meeting said that after Bensouda’s staff were asked to leave the room, the director of the Mossad suddenly appeared from behind a door in a carefully choreographed “ambush”.

It does seem to be. The juxtaposition of Russia invading Ukraine and Israel invading Gaza is pretty stark.

If there’s a food source they’re all over, it will smell like that even when they leave.

Definitely. Formic acid.

Doesn’t really explain it, I mean the underlying Palestine/Israel thing has been going on for decades too.

The current Sudanese Civil War has only been going on for 6 months longer than the current Israel vs Gaza hostilities.
