Idk what brain region it was in, but I once drove a guy who had some sort of brain stimulation for Parkinson’s. Had this match-box sized box of batteries for it in his chest. (Batteries were shit like 15 years ago.) He was hyped about it, and I’m sure whatever he had was pretty rudimentary by today’s standards.

The cops don’t like when you point out how intelligent they are (or aren’t really)?

I am shocked

/s

Yeah, people like Ian McKellen got like 13 million, so that’s a difference in a known vs relatively unknown actor, I guess.

Also, Cate Blanchett says she “got paid in sandwiches” and just wanted to work for Peter Jackson because of his previous movies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ielt7A-Ebn4

Yeah and even when actors get paid “low sums” it’s usually like six figures still, at least regarding projects like Spy Kids.

And even if it was “just” five figures, if its above 50k and last less than a year to film, it’s more than most people make and the actors who do these aren’t exactly broke to begin with.

Orlando Bloom “only” got 175k for the lotr trilogy.

If someone paid me 175k to fuck about as an elf in New Zealand for 438 days, I’d be willing to suck their dick on the spot. And I don’t generally like sucking dick too much.

Well that’s not going to work out.

For some reason, I’m thinking “cigars” in that context isn’t about two guys just hanging out, actually lighting up tobacco products?

Ah more of the “no, u”.

This really doesn’t work with adults. Sorry. You larp a philosopher with buzzwords from fallacies you can’t even je bothered to read a wiki article about.

I read Zizek for fun.

I never even mentioned the word “gay”, just like you never answer “are you pro-Russian and thus support comes on humanity?”

Because you’re afraid to.

Your rhetoric is downright pathetic. The avoidance, ridiculous.

Nothing homophobic it about it. Queen is slaying in that portrait.

I heard Putler doesn’t fancy it though. Wonder why?

Nothing to do with this, ofc.

You simply do not have the courage to answer that you’re not pro-Russian. So by default you support crimes against humanity. A coward who doesn’t stand up to what is right.

Oh yeah sure.

International law is pretty clear though.

Specifically on wars of aggression.

Like the one in February 2022 by Russia who illegally invaded Ukraine.

No need to assert goodness or badness on anyone or anything, but it is very clear Russia is guilty of breaking international law. (As usual.)

“loaded questions”

You think “is X breaking international law” a “loaded question”.

This is exactly what I meant a few days back when I was laughing at you larping a philosopher. You use all these buzz words you think magically make you win an argument.

No, asking “Has Russia broken international law with it’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022?” is not a loaded question of any sort.

It’s just proof you’re a Russian too afraid to say outloud what he knows to be truth. Like a coward.

Also, using the “I’m writing a strawman in quotes as my argument” thing really gets old after you use it more than three times in a row.

It’s funny because you’re willing to say the most abstract bullshit imaginable, and you could simply lie and pretend to be on the side of Ukraine, but that would leave a trail online.

And you know that’s not good, because you walk by windows every day.

Enjoying the constant fear of your police state?

I know repetition won’t change your garage output, but I again would like to remind you that I care more for the average Russian than the sicko fuck you worship who rules Russia.

I haven’t ever even interacted with you, but going by your reaction, you would avoid answering the question:

Do you believe Russia has broken international law with their illegal war of aggression by invading Ukraine in February 2022?

Second of all, what, you think they don’t have the internet or something? You would like the internet to have a trump-wall to protect you from what foreigners have to say? Sheltered little cowardy fuck

Oh no no. I have nothing against Russians who are against Putler. But for those pussies who pretend they buy into the shitty propaganda and then support pro-Russian bullshit, they are hypocritical.

I have several Russian friends over here in Finland who managed to escape when they were kids.

Third, it’s clearly ameritarded cold-war paranoia.

And denying Russian misinformation while blaming the Americans. If you’d signed that comment “Love, Putin” it still wouldn’t be more see-through, lol.

Get rid of Putin, Ruskies. You’ve deposed dictators before, you can’t do it again. Then you get to enjoy all our fun Western things again, and can afford to put some butter on your bread.

Becsuse of the tons of clear Russians on Lemmy, pushing Russian propaganda?

The Argentinian conflict was in 1982, my man, you’re a decade(s) late and a ruble short.

I think they generally try to keep themselves in their echo chambers, but as they’re federated, can’t sometimes help themselves and have to input some would-be-snarky comment they think is ever-so-clever. Then they get ratio’d hard, they get their bot-armies to vote on when they’re off instance (if you look you’ll see quite a lot of the time there might be a lot of downvotes for opinions against them, but always at most one or two more than how many upvotes it has. it means for mobile users the comment looks less reactive than it is).

Then their egos get hurt because we bitch slap reality in their faces and they go crying back to whatever grad they crawled out from.

Well, there’s a lot of Mexicans in the US who voted for Trump. There’s even a meme regarding people voting for leopards eating their faces, so you know, you can’t trust people to be reasonable always.

Who has said “kill all Russians”? Who has said “kill all jews”? (Aside from Hitler and his ilk)

I think it would be disingenuous to pretend like the majority of people are for massacring Israelis or Russians, when they’re clearly advocating for stopping the genocide in Gaza and Russia backing off from their attack on Ukraine. They broke international laws. Both of those parties, that is. That’s just… not on. Being against those actions and the people who perpetrated them doesn’t mean you’re advocating for “an eye for an eye” (a genocide for a genocide).

Russians

Explicitly mentioning it, despite already saying you support Ukraine. I like it. Thanks.

Good, good, just checking.
