Well speaking as a queer person I and many of my friends have had the pyramid cited to us to show why we would always be unhappy. The hierarchy is not an entirely flawed concept and in the broadest of strokes I agree with it. Which is why I only say it's overrated, not inherently wrong. The hierarchy just falls apart rather quickly for GSM folks while being taken as fact by the general population.

The simple answer is catfishing, but this amount of time and effort dedicated to trying and be perceived as a woman seems like unrealized gender dysphoria and internalized racism. Their own self hate manifesting as external vitriol at out trans folk isn't even remotely okay, but not unheard of.

Maslow is overrated.

Midsommar is an excellent film about exactly how this type of back-to-basics all natural anti-modern vibe can be a vehicle for fascism. I recommend going in without learning more if you haven't seen it, but there is a lot of symbolism, foreshadowing and deeper meaning in easy to miss moments.

On the MAGA tombstone note, it's worth rembering that while these people don't give a single fuck their empathy or truth, they DO give a fuck about cruelty and hate.

So long as Trump encourages their bigotry nothing else, even their own well being, nothing else matters.

Okay so that is a wild run on sentence that was very confusing to read but I think I figured out what they were going for?

I assume this person is saying that atrocities committed by Japan, such as Unit 731, are not as widely known as the Holocaust. Which was a specific deliberate choice by General MacArthur during the reconstruction of Japan following the dissolution of the monarchy.

If anyone is interested (and has 2 hours to kill lol) this video was quite illuminating on the subject.

It was just a random fucking air raid like any other.

It was abundantly and absolutely not. It was the first raid on the US by Japan that was intended to show the US why they shouldn't enter the war and spectacularly backfired as it became the rally point for them to enter.

During a meeting with Narendra Modi, the Indian prime minister’s “eyes bulged out in surprise”, the Washington Post reporters claim, when Mr Trump told him: “It’s not like you’ve got China on your border.” China and India in fact share more than 2,000 miles of common border.

Mr Modi’s expression “shifted from shock and concern to resignation”

Modi is all of us. Shocked at the stupidity, concerned for our well being then resigned to the fact Trump doesn't even care about either.

the investigation encompassed the department's evidence room and the death of a Hanceville dispatcher, 49-year-old Christopher Michael Willingham, who was found dead from a toxic drug combination at work, officials said.

Crocker said that Willingham was given access, "like a lot of other people," to the evidence room, including on his last day at work. The dispatcher died on Aug. 23, 2024, with the cause of death determined to be the "combined toxic effects of fentanyl, gabapentin, diazepam, amphetamine, carisoprodol and methocarbamol," and the manner of death an accident, according to the state medical examiner's autopsy report.

Eric Michael Kelso, who was a reserve officer, and his wife, Donna Reid Kelso, were charged with unlawful distribution of a controlled substance and conspiracy to unlawfully distribute a controlled substance, Crocker said. The distribution charges are not based on the distribution of anything within the evidence room, and they are "accused of distributing certain drugs to other individuals, including some of these other defendants," he said.

Cops stealing drugs until one OD'd on the job while other officers were selling drugs to each other. It's not the most comprehensive reason to abolish the department, we all know there is systemic problems with the entire institution. But if a pig self harm is what gets the job done, I'll take it.

0% surprised.

100% frightened.

Were you ordered to commit suicide?

“In our army, being captured is seen as betrayal. (Which implies that North Korean soldiers are instructed to commit suicide if captured.)”

So you fought thinking you were up against not only Ukrainian forces but also South Korean troops?

“(Nods.)”

What have you decided?

“I’ve been thinking... (pauses) You said you’re a journalist, right? (pauses again) First, I’m planning to apply for asylum and go to South Korea. Do you think they’ll accept me?”

(The Ukrainian authorities mentioned, “Whether the North Korean soldier can go to S. Korea depends on the S. Korean government.”)

My personal highlights from the read. Paints a pretty miserable desperate picture, NK really just expected them all to die. I hope his family is not punished because of this interview but it frankly seems likely.
