Anyone interested in the full story of the shit show that occurred on Monday 11th May onboard 2 SAA flights? Here it is 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

I will add, for the benefit of a couple of yr commenters, that to blame the Jews for the Crucifixion is to miss the whole point, to scapegoat them as God-killers is a diabolical reversal of the gospel that has ended in the murders of countless innocent people, and to indulge in antisemitism is the quickest way I know to turn your brain into Swiss cheese.

Okay, here's where George Lucas went wrong: So first, he called the antagonist group the Trade Federation. The average viewer should immediately understand their function and role in the galaxy, right? This is what we call economical storytelling. They're the TRADE FEDERATION. Wrong. The average viewer is too stupid to understand this. And it gets worse from there. Because even if the average viewer WAS able to understand that the Trade Federation is, in fact, a powerful group controlling trade in the galaxy, they would then immediately become confused by the concept of the Trade Federation blocking the flow of trade to a planet. This is because the average person is too stupid to understand the concept of foregoing immediate gratification for the prospect of long-term gain. So the logical implications of what the Trade Federation is doing, which would be obvious to most of us intelligent viewers who understand bargaining leverage, would still be completely beyond the capacities of the average viewer. Basically, Lucas wildly overestimated the intelligence of the general audience, and left too many failure points where the average viewer would become completely lost. It's his own fault really. We cannot blame the stupid for their own incapacity. They can't help it.

🇺🇦 Odessa, 2026 — two foreign gay men harass a local Ukrainian man over his USSR T-shirt After he told them off, they hugged and said in unison, "Glory to Ukraine"

Clearly a surrealist peice that speaks to the post war (WW1) mentality of Germany, and it looks critical of it (the bust of Bismark and painting of what I believe is Kaiser Wilhelm on the dresser in the very spartan aparment is evidence.) Carle's own art instructor showed him Picaso and other works that he had never been exposed to, inspiring his use of shape, color, and line in his own work. Are you sure you understand art at all?

Air-dropping free pasta and seafood to forest critters to stop the spread - this is Hundoism

there was an old article in PC gamer interviewing the creator of Dishonored about the mechanics in the game in which he specifically described this tendency amongst game developers to artificially limit what the player can do in their world with the provided mechanics. the core thesis of it was basically that most game developers resort to shitty halfbaked methods of creating exceptions by artificially locking the player out from key mechanics at specific times or when in specific situations. the dishonored developer explicitly rejected this way Just interesting to see how the philosophy has changed and how the game industry has gone even further down this road.
