My theory is that songs get stuck in your head when you listen to a small part of it so then your brain tries to fill in the rest. So I guess you’d have to listen to the whole thing to make it go away. Haven’t really tested this thoroughly enough so if you do, let me know.

His artificial hairline looks worse than if he were bald. And wtf is going on with his jaw?

Hah I’m not worried mate it’s all good, I just find it interesting how certain interest groups can change narratives from one day to the next. Btw this misrepresentation extends to all the non-English speaking peoples, who are basically excluded from the internet.

I’ve noticed a trend lately - not sure how far back this goes - but it appears to me that aspects of the Greek civilization are very often attributed to the Romans and mentions of the Greeks are often reduced to derogatory memes (like how easy it is to be Socrates because there was only a bunch of people alive at the time and other such bs) and of course let’s not forget how gay everyone was (as if that’s a bad thing but whatever). Couple that with misconceptions about Alexander the great and how he was supposedly a Slav and Macedonias weren’t Greek blah blah, the fact that the Turks are trying to claim that everything that now lies in modern day Turkey is “theirs” etc etc, the claims from Christians around the world that Christian ideas are the basis of the western civilization and morality in general as if they didn’t just appropriate everything from past religions and belief systems… Anyway rant over.

Here we go again with the random shitting on the Greeks.

Bet the girls in England looked way better than this 9000 years ago, nothing like cro magnon apes no no they didn’t eat fleas out of each other’s backs where’d you hear that

Because in Greece there was truce during the games. It’s part of the rules.

Car actually doesn’t look that bad, true. I guess it’s just not what people expect when they hear Ferrari. Imho it’s one of those cars that won’t sell now but in 50 years it will be a sought after rarity.

So how’s the peeling going?

I’m genuinely asking wtf?

You think him fleeing to Russia is inconsistent? It seems to me that the organizations he’s exposed are the sort of outfits that would murder someone like him, so in order to stay alive I don’t know what other choices he would’ve had.

Agree on Greta btw, but to continue with the same example, I would say that killing a little girl is less likely, because it would create a martyr. And if she were ever in danger I wouldn’t hold it against her if she chose to disappear somewhere. She’s already done more than enough.

My point being, I don’t necessarily see the difference, and I’m a bit confused at the apparent hesitation to label Snowden a hero. Tempted to assume that the smear campaign is working even in these circles.

I’m not saying anything. The thread is about Snowden and you said one can do great things and still be a shitty person, so I’m trying to understand what you mean.

Are you saying Snowden is a shitty person? If so, why, what’s he done?

Can you give an example of someone you would call a hero?

If doing something heroic does not make you a hero then what does?

I don’t know when shitting on the Greek civilization became a thing, but the irony that this trend comes from the same country that voted for Trump twice and made Idiocracy a tame historical documentary is not lost on me.

Don’t know if you guys saw but Cofeezilla came out with his video yesterday. There’s a little bit more nuance regarding the actual numbers than what one would think just watching the reckless Ben series.

Not that it changes anything, still a thieving business run by rats and a completely corrupt police department - which coffee does not go into for some reason - very disappointed with that tbh since to me that’s the biggest thing in this story…

You’re making a lot of false analogies here, but I wish people would respond instead of just downvote you. First of all, afaik there is a signed contract - if that makes a difference. Secondly, I don’t think a Lego collector can be called a hoarder, that’s… Yeah no. Third, the owner is sick and was trying to sell his collection to pay for the medical expenses, they’re not as well off as you assume. But even if they are, what difference does it make? It’s still not legal to steal from them. And finally, the whole issue here is that a big company is bullying the little guy, with the help of the establishment in the form of the police. This is now more about how the police broke the law and acted like a mafia organization and less about the theft from the company.

Public pressure is the only thing that has helped move this case forward to where it is today.

If you hope to see any repercussions for the police officers who blatantly took sides and broke the law then public pressure is the only way. Explain yourself, because right now with this comment in isolation you sound like a boot licker…

Working people of all genders are not getting paid enough.
