No words.

Come to think of it maybe 3 sentences:

Burn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean.

Clancy Brown was way more impactfull then Lambert.

The amount of Highlander quotes you still hear to this day are mostly those of The kurgan.

Connery and Brown carried that movie. Lambert just went along for the ride.

Remember our agreement, Murdoch. The boy... Is mine.

The way how Clancy just spits out these one liners, in that growling voice. It's bloody fantastic. Cavill as mcloud is good and all, but it's all about who they cast for the Kurgan and Ramirez. And that they don't fuck the story up too much.

Hi. I'm candy. *Of course you are.. *

Yeah, you seem a lot smarter. Good for you.

Sigh.

Nazism isn't the same as fascism. Nazism does care about your ethnicity. Fascism does not.

But whatever.

Just watch that xkcd graphic my dude. Somebody else already linked it. It makes the issue very clear and is quite scientifically based.

Yes, everything you said is factually true.
That doesn't mean your interpreting it all correctly. We not just accelerated it, we where strolling along the path of planetary heating and then decided to step aboard the Starship Enterprise and screamed: "MR SULU WARP FACTOR NINE, STAT!"

We're fucking with systems (planetary weather patterns) we can't comprehend. And to solve it we again fuck with that system but now not by adding energy (heat) but by removing energy from it (wind, radiation)

I think both will have issues. But for now removing lots and lots of energy from the system will greatly benefit us.

In the end it will always come down to population control or going interplanetary as a species.

More people on this planet, in this system will always mean more heat. Remove the excess from the system and it will find its equilibrium again.

But.. Removing the excess sounds nice but isn't. Especially when you are deemed to be the excessive one.

You want to know where global warming can lead to? Look no further then Venus.

Im just a tad disappointed that according to this graphic fascism (which isnt exactly the same as nazism but whatever) is strictly a white issue.

Which, if you look at the world, clearly isn't the case. Fascism is everywhere.

Redredme , 1 month ago to Reddit in It's been around a year since a lot of us quit Reddit, myself included. I'm happy with Lemmy, but I still feel a bit lost online since leaving the old site. Discussion?

That's not what i meant. Replies are just more a cesspit over here and often not worth the energy needed to read them.

Often there is no room for debate.

And that's for sure hurting the platform.

Thank you for once again doing what i was railing about. You've proven my point once again. The room is divided, I'm an simplistic asshole and you're the righteous dude. Congrats. Next stop: I'm a racistic bigot.

Lhgbtwdxyz I don't care, bud. I really don't. Do what you like, don't do what you don't like. Be who you are. Live life how you want. It is as simple as that. And let me do the same, ok? I will never get all the fuzz. Be gay. Dont be gay. Be bi. Dont be bi. Be nothing: also great. Be everything : good for you. Be the other sex or none at all: it's your life. I don't care and neither should you about what I do. Just love people and you choose who. Express yourself however you want. That's not a new message.

Police : solutions. Not anarchist bullshit. ACAB is bullshit and leads nowhere.

Redredme , 1 month ago to Reddit in It's been around a year since a lot of us quit Reddit, myself included. I'm happy with Lemmy, but I still feel a bit lost online since leaving the old site. Discussion?

I miss it daily.

The discussions here always are the same, very leftist. There is only one side. Memes here are always overdone. Comics are always politicized. Everything is "eat the rich", lhgtbq cant do anything wrong and lets not forget: fuck the police. Eating the rich has been tried before guys, several times. It didn't work. People need leaders and these leaders will always benefit from it. Learn history before you try to make it. Or is it just jealousy?

Just because youre lhgtbq does not automatically mean you're right or have been wronged. Surely your identity is very important. As is mine. lets find some middle ground, ok?

Police does fuck up, a lot. Do you have a solution instead of "all cops are evil" or is that just a catchy easy thing to say? And that brings me to the next one:

The depth in discussion and the amount of objective (news) subjects here is lacking. Views are often shallow and if they aren't they are cast in stone. Lemmy is unfortunately not usable for sharing and consuming knowledge. The depth isn't there, the communities too small and it always devolves into you're wrong because i say so. Or, if its IT, the knowledge just isn't there or worse: people are not willing to share it, adding a you f-ing MS simp because why not. And that brings me, again, to the next:

It's also often a lot less cordial. Instead of discussing the "room" gets divided in friends and enemies. Name calling is normal. Its a lot darker here.

Most of the times I don't even check responses on my comments : I know what they say. Yeah buddy, fuck you too.

Anyway, its fine. I use it daily. The use case isn't the same though. And the experience is very different.

I wouldn't be here without Sync by the way. Without (stuff like) Sync the hassle would just not be worth it.

The moment the state decides if your life is valuable enough or not is the moment we are talking about fascism. It is that simple.

And yes, I'm all for assisted death. But the keyword is assisted. And if you yourself cannot decide if you want to be assisted it just can't happen.

A politician can not decide for you if you deserve to live or not. A life canot be valued. And that was what was implied.

Say, didnt you guys hear about that one party which was hugely popular in germany once? The guy in charge was called "the boss" and they had a very specific greet.

They too extended it to people with disabilities.

I dunno.. But it seems somewhat relevant..

We're from a different era my dude. These days it's all analysts, architects and data scientist.

Who can't do jack shit without guys like you.

Redredme , 3 months ago to Ukraine in Fact checking: Social media users are claiming the West broke a 1990 treaty undertaking not to expand the NATO security alliance closer to Russia’s borders. It's false.

No treaty? Yes, factually that is true.

But you could say we where double dealing. We said something, did another.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversy_in_Russia_regarding_the_legitimacy_of_eastward_NATO_expansion?wprov=sfla1

And the linked article in the post says the same. Yes , oral guarantees where made. No, they where never written down and quickly forgotten when push came to shove. Probably because we knew russia could do jack shit about it at that time. And still can't .

Redredme , 5 months ago to Academia in Should universities be self-sufficient and independent? Or dependent on Google/MS?

It's appification. People want an app. And easy. Things like imap, smtp, pop, certificates etc are hard, too hard for most.

And email, done right (safe, no spam, secure, private) is one of the hardest things to do. It's not easy.

And because it's not easy you see everybody moving to cloud for email.

Do you have a point? Oh yes. But can you, do you want to explain setting up thunderbird to the median college goer? Can you do that 50 times a day? (yes, click imap, no change the port to the secure one, what a port is? Dont worry, just change the number, oh you typed imapp.Server.edu, no that should be imap, one p. No, not b: p. Yes. No. Sigh, just come over I'll type it in. FFS.

That's why the cloud email services are everywhere. Email and users just dont mix well.
