Here's the video.

The quote replies restore some sanity at least.

After 20 days, he'll be asked to conscript again. If he refuses, he'll be sent to jail again. This will continue till either he agrees to conscription or the military stops requiring him.

The main page says it won’t come out till tomorrow but the critic page lists them so…Here’s some highlights:

Metascore: 52 Positive Reviews: 6 Mixed Reviews: 14 Negative Reviews 1

The Wrap: 84: It’s no small compliment to say that 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' is expertly crafted drivel.

The Film Verdict: 68: If Hollywood insists on continuing its own separate monsterverse, it could do worse than GxK, a film where giant beasts wallop the tar out of each other with thrilling efficacy.

Chicago Sun-Time: 50: Godzilla x King Kong: The New Empire is the definition of an old-fashioned (with new technology) popcorn movie and there’s certainly no harm in that, but at the end of the day, it feels like the stakes have never been more medium.

The Telegraph: 40: There’s some commendable trippiness towards the end, but for the most part Godzilla Smooch Kong is all too ready to fall back on delivering the bare minimum promised by its title. It’s giant monsters fighting, the thing constantly shrugs: what else do you want? Ideally a bit more than this.

Rolling Stone: 40: What this feels like is a second-generation copy of a copy, and one that suffers from the typical franchise law of diminishing returns. No one expects the reinvention of the MonsterVerse wheel, but it’d be nice to have something that isn’t more of the same and less than the sum of its I.P. parts.

For those who want to know, the person she is subtweeting here is PhilosophyTube. There are RUMORS that they dated, but they are just that. What is confirmed is that they are no longer close or interact with each other, since before PT transitioned.

The framing device for the tweet is an amateur short film release on YouTube a couple weeks ago called Envy/Desire which is (apparently, I've not watched it) about a trans woman dating a cis guy, who is either a chaser or a genuinely questioning/transitioning depending on which post I look at. Either case, the film and the creator are incredibly online and I feel way too old to keep up with that discourse now.

In a recent video on Twitter, he compared the China of today to 2019 and was completely shocked at the speed to progress and change. Says it’s like stepping into the future.

1 - Automation: From trains to taxis to purchases - everything is done seamlessly with super Apple Pay.

2 - EV: 30%-40% of the cars are fully electric. You can get Teslas but you have Chinese brands that offer sedans for $10k.

3 - The air is much cleaner. Partly due to EVs.

4 - People are more respectful of societal norms. There is better service everywhere you go.

5 - Less foreigners, even in touristy areas. Most white people are actually Russian.

6 - In factories, robots do the work in contrast to the perception people have in the US of China just throwing cheap labor at every problem. Factories set up their own e-commerce platforms and sell directly on China’s TikTok.

7 - It feels like over the past 5 years, everything by in China just got better, while everything in the US just got worse.

Someone (who's not banned already) should post this on r/worldnews.


On Jan. 7, the Israeli military struck a car carrying four journalists, calling them terrorists who "operated an aircraft that posed a threat to IDF troops." A new Post investigation finds no evidence of any Israeli forces in the vicinity: Drone footage raises questions about Israeli justification for deadly strike on Gaza journalists

In a statement on Jan. 10, the IDF said a commercially-available Mavic 2 drone operated by well-known freelancer Mustafa Thuraya posed an “immediate threat” to nearby soldiers. The Post reviewed Thuraya's drone footage and saw no Israeli forces.

The Post obtained and reviewed satellite imagery and shared that imagery with outside researchers. No Israeli forces were visible or detected within more than a mile of where Thuraya launched his drone.

The IDF said it had evidence that both men killed in the strike, Thuraya and Hamza, belonged to militant groups. Interviews with 14 witnesses and colleagues gave no indication that either man was operating as anything other than a journalist that day.

Both men had been subject to Israeli security checks, having traveled through IDF checkpoints earlier in the war, and Dahdouh had been cleared by Israel to leave Gaza.

Honestly? I’ve only lived in countries with Celsius and Celsius is how I feel. I know exactly how hot or cold a day is gonna be if I look up the temperature. Thats how I know what clothes to wear!!! But Fahrenheit confuses the shit out of me. Every time I visit the US, I always convert the temp back to Celsius when someone tells me the temp.

I know Fahrenheit has more degrees and that can give you more datapoints. But cmon. The temp only goes up to, like, 50 C anyways lol. How many degrees do you need 🤣. Can you really differentiate between 61 and 62 F? Now, 60 to 65 F might be believable, but that’s like 15 to 18 C so, that much difference is shown even in Celsius.

I’m not saying Celsius is better, or that Americans should convert to it. Actually, if I was God-Emperor, I’d force us all to use Kelvin,, given it begins with Absolute Zero and I’m a sucker for shit like that.

But variety is the spice of life. For Americans, Fahrenheit is how they feel. For most of the rest of us, it’s Celsius.

Some information:

The film depicts the story of the North Korea-allied Chinese People's Volunteer Army, forcing U.S. forces to withdraw in a fictionalized retelling of the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War.

The Battle at Lake Changjin is the most expensive film ever produced in China, with a budget of $200 million. The film grossed $913 million at the worldwide box office, making it the second-highest-grossing film of 2021, the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time, the highest-grossing non-English film, and the second highest-grossing film in a single market.

And some good Anglos:

Reviewing for Forbes, Scott Mendelson said "It’s arguably no more jingoistic, at least until the final montage, than (offhand) Pearl Harbor or We Were Soldiers." He further described the film as spectacular with its "copious mass battle sequences and intricate action set pieces" against what was a "pretty dry war picture" and a "generic war actioner" when compared with The Eight Hundred.

Reviewing in The Independent, Louis Chilton wrote that, while it was fair to describe the film as propaganda, the same criticism should be directed at similar American films such as American Sniper or Captain Marvel.

LMAO FUCKING BASED.

LETS GOOOOOOOO

Edit - Look at the cope in the replies.

Edit 2 - THERE IS A R/CONSPIRACY THREAD With 100s of comments.

[-] [email protected] 64 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Atleast the replies and quotes are 90% good. Still the occasional anti-Russia shill in there. but damn. No matter how anti-communist Putin is, and under him Russia has become ussr-cry , at least they still hate Nazis. Can't say the same for any Western country (other than Ireland I guess).

Civilian deaths 2 years into the Ukraine war stands at 10,000.

After 5 months, it's 30,000 deaths in Gaza. That means if Israel were bombing Ukraine, the would've killed 150,000 Ukrainian civilians instead of 10,000. And if Russian were bombing Gaza, they would've killed just 2,000 instead 30,000.

And I didn't even factor in population. Ukraine has 20x the population of Gaza. (40m to 2m). The impact of each innocent life lost is 20x more in Gaza than it is in Ukraine. It is 20x easier to wipe out an entire family, 20x easier to find someone who's lost someone, 20x to erase entire histories and subcultures (especially when you bomb universities, libraries, ancient monuments).

So, Russia is at least 14-15 TIMES more humane and caring about civilian life than Israel is. And if you factor in the impact of the difference in relative population (40m vs 2m) that shoots up to 280-300 TIMES more humane and caring than Israel. That's not 280%-380% - That would be just 2.8-3.8 times. No.

Russia respects Ukrainian civilains 28,000%-30,000% more than Israel respects Gazan civilians.

I always said it, but I never understood it till I watched Bernie’s stance on Gaza in real time.

[-] [email protected] 110 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I feel incredibly sad and depressed and disillusioned with Bernie, AOC and everyone else. Fuck them all. They will sell the rest of the world to the devil for a promise of some progress on the domestic front that’ll get broken anyways. And they know it’ll be broken! They know it! So why not stand in solidarity?! Why make the deal at all?

I’m just done.

I wanna thank you for your comment because now I’m able to formulate a better TLDR: He didn’t do any union-busting and your bullying can harm your supposed political aims in the real world.
