HOLY SHIT THE FOURTH EPISODE IS SO GOOD!!! This is when it really became something for me. The acting improved, story improved, world building improved. And so many exciting scenes from the books to look forward to that weren’t in the movies.
I wrongly trusted a Christian Zionist. And I know what they are like. My (Christian) grandma will go on and on about Israel and cry for the Jews, but minutes later will say that all Jews will go to Hell for not believing in Jesus.
I’ve known this friend for four years now and became much closer with him last year when he expressed anger at the people applauding October 7th. We’ve spent the last year talking about this stuff, sending each other ridiculous things said, and sending happy Jewish culture things. It’s been great. In a lonely time in most other places, I did not feel alone because of him.
And yet, he voted for Trump. I don’t get it. It goes against so much of what we agreed on (outside of Israel as well). Sorry, but a man saying he’ll deport the “enemies from within” (being democrats)(source), he’ll declare a national emergency and use the military for mass deportations (source), he’d get away with killing someone (source), and police should have “one really violent day” (source) sounds all too familiar. If you voted for that today (and, Hell, one of those comments goes back to 2016), I have no doubt you’d vote for the man (who’s also a felon but “better for the economy!”) saying the same exact things in 1933.
This is seriously one of the only apps I feel good on rn
Bruh never mind being ADHD is posting something then having that same “new” thought seven months later lmfaooo ignore the last post then
Growing up with Conduct Disorder is reading Percy Jackson as a kid and knowing you’re a child of Ares
I hate these people so much it’s actually so unfunny and almost 200K likes??
I really don’t trust the major support for Luigi Mangione. There is a certain group that people call elite, globalists, rich, evil, oppressive, etc. even though they aren’t, duh. And I certainly don’t trust Americans with that. Vigilantism shouldn’t be encouraged. The second you say “it’s okay for person A to kill person B because this or that” you’ve gone too far because that allows A LOT based on different people. I think of Emmett Till (“its okay for us to do this, because he was being sexually aggressive,” which we know now that he actually wasn’t). But horseshoe theory I guess. No one has the right to play God (why I’m against the death penalty as well!). Another thing, being violent, as a form of political resistance, shouldn’t be supported. As a queer (white) person, that’s something I really am inspired by as part of the Civil Rights Movement, and wish there was less violence in the history of queer political resistance, since it was non-violence that changed so much in America with civil rights. Now there’s even support for the cyber truck bomb guy. Which, I know no one was killed except for himself, but c’mon, really? Why don’t we all go back to what we learned in elementary school? You can’t fight fire with fire, two wrongs don’t make a right.
Are there capital letters in Hebrew? How do I make it clear that one word is very important?
Would the opposite of light be dark or darkness?
Percy in the last episode saying, “I assumed that was you, but that voice I heard… that definitely did not sound like you,” and I immediately thought he was calling Hades gay.
