My point is that acting out of self interest doesn't constitute being "nice". They're still willing to meddle in the internal politics of other nations if it benefits themselves, just like the US is.

Hwat?

How could you possibly interpret it in any other way?

People need to get less creepy hobbies than neighbour stalking. Like, god, if you're that bored, go watch YouTube or smth.

While I appreciate what China has been doing in the green energy sector, let's not pretend it's out of anything other than self preservation. They're just prescient enough to realise that they need to move away from fossil fuels to not destroy their own future.

Wish I could say the same for other Western democracies. We're too hellbent on maintaining materialistic consumerism to properly invest in our own future.

“I said to them, was there any sign of love?” Trump said, recounting his conversation with released hostages.

“Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?” Trump said, absurdly comparing the hostages’ situation to the Holocaust, which murdered six million Jews.

“People would try and help people that were in unbelievable distress,” the president went on, suggesting that the Nazis were known for their generosity.

You can't make this level of stupidity up.

Hmm. The rehosted thumbnail shows up fine. It's the full quality image that doesn't load in eternity, whereas it does seem to on other instances. It just prompts me with what Lemmy client I want to load the link in.

Clicking Eternity just brings up the menu again.

Edit: seems to not work in voyager or jerboa either:

For me, the link is: https://sopuli.xyz/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.catbox.moe%2Fnz8hu7.webp

So it looks like sopuli is at least proxying the link.

Then it gets used for approximately 2 minutes before being discovered to be garbage, and summarily tossed in a landfill. 🤦‍♀️

I don't know why, but for some reason images hosted on sopuli don't open in eternity. It's like it can't get the proper mime-type to know it's an image, or something. I wonder if it just looks at the URL for that instead.

Anyways, cute bocchi is cute. (:

OK, let's get something straight here: elbows up is originally a hockey term. Normally when you're checking someone, you have to keep your elbows down or else you'll get an elbowing penalty.

Elbows up essentially means "play dirty with intent to injure". If you had your elbows up, you'd have at least one hand on your stick, probably both. So this depiction of flexing arms makes no sense -- you'd never have your arms in that position. Where's their stick, even?

So accurate. Just existing as a vegan raises some omni's cognitive dissonance defences.

I'm not a priest, and this is not a confessional.

I saw this one on one of the GDQs, and it looked like fun. It's not really my genre of choice, but I'm still a little tempted to pick it up.
