Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

In a shocking incident, horrific visuals are surfacing on the internet in which it can be seen that the Hamas militants are taking a semi-naked dead body of an Israeli woman on an open truck and parading in the city. It is said that the militants after attacking Israel are killing and taking the civilians as hostage. The militants took the dead bodies of the innocent civilians who were killed during the attack in open trucks and paraded them.

Lol, I pretty much react to this whenever I see people reference pop culture shit.

It just doesn't matter, and they're usually trying to tell people "I enjoyed this thing, you should watch it too! It's relevant I swear!"

Which is almost as bad as the people who inevitably pop up exclaiming how they're definitely way too cool to enjoy [thing that is currently popular]

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of how not like other kids you are.

[–] bobman@unilem.org -1 points 1 year ago

Yeah... you would think having higher standards is just 'not being like other kids.'

Lol. Don't forget to pay your subscription.

All of the year 2020 was just like that movie "Outbreak" with Dustin Hoffman and Rene Russo

Tarkovski was able to make movies with overtly religious themes in the Soviet Union, because it was 'just science fiction'.

Andor is a tv show about more than just funny space aliens. So is Star Wars obviously, but Andor is properly good tv.

Thankfully people thinking it's 'just a Disney show' or 'it's just scifi' is how stuff like this slips under the radar. See also: trans metaphor The Matrix, Starship Troopers equating right-wing American militarism with Nazi Germany, and V for Vendetta's ambiguity on the ethics of terrorism.
