I’ve got a checklist for him to try. Though apparently one of the items on there is fucking named after him.

He should try mixing deleriants and empathogens. Or just take a heroic dose of datura.

Yeah we dont talk about it much because it was a shitshow that’s definitely political but not really in line with any side. Like it made perfect sense to Americans at the time that black people who were sick of racism and their ancestors were brought here against their will should be allowed to just go to Africa.

Its definitely a story we should remember when we talk about decolonization. Not as a deterrent but as a warning of what doing it poorly could look like.

But yeah thats why there’s that one country in Africa whose flag is weirdly similar to the American flag, and the lack of knowledge of it is why its emoji is regularly used to refer to America

It isn’t. I just don’t feel like swapping

It’s also a refusal to understand that Liberia was colonized by America as part of a postbellum “return to aftica”

Fucking hell. Like I know Americans don’t know that we’re the ones who colonized Liberia but come on, the president should.

Well it’s good to know that the courts are willing to tell the executive they can’t do things. Shame about it only applying when the feds are helping ordinary people

I prefer AA for controllers actually. Rechargeable AAs are good these days and you can just swap them out. I actually really hate this trend of integrated batteries in things where it isnt necessary. Yeah we need new form factors of replaceable batteries, but the switch from replaceable and standardized to neither is definitely causing problems and costing us money.

They lost steam when Fred Phelps died. Also they became normalized. But largely they were pissing off everyone on purpose. They protested the funerals of both gay people and soldiers

Yeah I just wanted off mr corporation’s wild ride

I assumed it was her husband and children voting.

Chumbawumba’s song “homophobia” remains relevant though it’s largely evolved to be transphobia

I wish that woman healing and safety

Bodhisattva, not a Buddha. A Buddha has escaped samsara, a bodhisattva is usually holding off on finishing enlightenment in the hopes of helping others attain it, though others are just on the verge of it.

Siddhartha Gautama was born a bodhisattva, but became a Buddha when he achieved enlightenment, at which point he wasn’t reborn.

This means that what the Dalai Lama is saying is ultimately that he’s either continuing to forgo enlightenment or that he has accepted that it hasn’t come in this lifetime. If he had it would’ve been a big deal in his school of Buddhism and all that recognize him as the bodhisattva he claims to be. Like, an astronomically big deal.

Deportations will stop soon. Remember the whole nitrogen execution thing from last year? They have the budget to build gas chambers and nobody will stop them
