It kinda wasn’t based because as far as I’m aware the only ones doing that were slavers coming into Kansas from Missouri to do a bit of murder. Border Ruffians et al.

3·4 months agoNot to be the centrist on this one, but I think its possible to acknowledge that he was talking candidly about prior attitudes of his while also acknowledging that he didn’t merely discuss having misplaced anger about a sexual assault, but mentioned walking the streets actively looking to do a hate crime. Like we can talk about personal growth or momentary anger and whatever, but he went out with the explicit desire to do a lynching and not even of the person who had done the crime.
5·4 months agoMy great grandad was a nazi collaborator, so it could always be worse. Luckily not in any huge capacity. He just got paid as a day laborer to help them build stuff, but it’s still pretty bad.
8·5 months agoPercy Jackson is just an inferior version of “Erik Menneskesøn”. No that doesn’t make sense, but it’s the truth.
31·5 months agoI know a guy who worked on Alan Wake 2, the guy is a nazi. The DEI criticism of the game is endlessly amusing to me as a result.

I think we should believe people when they speak of their situation. I think it’s infantalizing to sex workers to tell them that they’re victims inherently and they just don’t know better when they talk of their own experiences. Sex work is exploitative in the way that all work is exploitative, and they are therefore in a technical sense engaging in sex under duress, but just as the best way to approach a worker to talk about their exploitation and unionization efforts is not to immediately compare them to galley slaves and make a 1:1 comparison between chattel slavery and your shitty job, it is not actually helpful to discussing the actual problems inherent in sex work to frame it this way unless we are actually discussing those who have been trafficked or who are in a particularly exploitative situation, and in that case the immediate thing to do is treat this as a distinct criminal case rather than as a discussion of the dignity of sex work. I realize that my perspective as a cishet white man is inherently limited, but the only people I know who have engaged in prostitution (I don’t know any former sex workers who did not engage in prostitution, and therefore cannot discuss the experiences of cam girls, porn actors, phone sex operators, strippers or any other kind of sex workers. Also these women were all white and uncoerced by anything except economic circumstance into taking the job. Which also limits their experience of course, but it is still superior to mine) have done so as a part time job they have either found pretty fulfilling or at least no worse than any other student job. I myself would feel gross “buying” the consent of someone, due to the fact that I don’t want there to be an open question of whether I am engaging in sexual exploitation of any kind when I engage in sex, and I find the question of whether you can truly consent to sex under economic duress a valid question. But I trust women when they speak of their experiences.
Edit: I am now observing that we are at the moment 3 He/Hims disagreeing with someone on their argument about misogyny. Which is one of those “Bad looks”.
Sorry I just checked and saw all the demon names (in particular lügner) and was convinced, so i edited just as you posted.
And it’s like… all the names? I don’t think a single name I’ve seen so far isn’t just a random German word
EditQuery solved. They are just German words.

What’s your take on whaling with a knife while singing a 58 verse long song about how much you like killing ala the pilot whale hunters on the Faroe islands?
(I’m very opposed in case anyone is wondering)
The missing fingers definitely says ocean goddess. But the main character has a caring role in which she quite literally grooms (Not in the negative meaning) her sister as a response to outside influence. Which screams angakkoq if we’re looking at ocean goddess imagery. She herself isn’t mutilated, nor does she provide for the town materially.
The dog connection is clever, but I don’t know if she marries a dog in the inupiat version of the tale. Tbh my only knowledge of the tale is as Arnaqquassaaq.
She’s not sedna. If she’s sedna then they needed to ask any of the Inuits on set what was up. At best her treatment of her sister is an analogue to the way the angakkoq cares for the ocean goddess and washes away the filth left by others.
Think standard multi “entrepreneur” grifter.
YES! Finally! A question that I know something about!
Okay so the actual owner of this company (The greenlandic arm anyway) is Ittu Julius Konrad Karl Heinrich Lilliendahl (Yes that is one name, it’s Greenland that’s just how it is) who used to do event coordination stuff (And they’re going out of business because he fucking sucked at it) and runs a taxi cab company. The reason this is being sold as a green initiative is because that way you get certain benefits from the government.
Their argument is twofold 1: They argue this isn’t that bad carbon wise because a lot of shipping containers are empty because of the Greenlandic trading imbalance so this actually makes sense and 2: It’s water you guys, that’s eco stuff
The guy in the picture is a part owner (like 5% or something) who used to (I don’t know if he still does) work as an engineer/handyman/landlord for a company that rents out apartments, does mine engineering consulting and minor construction work called 60 degrees Greenland.
If it gets accepted as a Green transition company it will be done because it’s not a fishing boat. Greenlandic corporations have tried selling mines as part of a green transition, it’s nuts and I hate it.
Not a deep one, but https://www.marxists.org/archive/debs/works/1908/080516-debs-theissue.pdf
