just watched a trailer for an fps video game set during the vietnam war and i think we need to abolish triple a gaming

[slutcore-starships]

did you know that in 1966-67, a people’s tribunal found that the united states was committing genocide in vietnam? if youre curious, i would encourage looking up the “International War Crimes Tribunal” and the “Russell Tribunal” for more information

[dreadhordearcanist]

Once you read about what the US did in Vietnam, you'll never stop wanting to beat every veteran to death with your bare hands. This was not a case of "evil/incompetent US bureaucrats drafting poor innocent soldiers" as the popular narrative has become - the soldiers were not only complicit but actively participated.

All the following quotes are taken from Atrocity Fabrication and its Consequences which is available for free here. I encourage everyone to read it. I am including excerpts of what the French colonial soldiers did as well as a reminder that this was what the Vietnamese were fighting to liberate themselves from. Putting quotes under a Read More because there's a lot of rape, violence against women, and dehumanization of Vietnamese - much of it straight from interviews soldiers did, practically bragging about it.

I don’t think we’re rick rolling each other enough anymore. 1. it CANNOT die out 2. this under saturated market is perfect for unsuspecting victims who’ve been lulled into a false sense of security. be the person you hate. bring back the dastardly link

[json-derulo]

someone actually studied the falling Rick Roll rate for their Ph.D dissertation recently and published the paper

[junefrombug]

okay but this made me wonder if there was actually any academic literature on rickrolling and YES THERE IS this is a paper about rickrolling WITHIN academic literature. As in, studies that attempt to rickroll the people reading them. Best part is no one is going to believe me and click that link even though it’s 100% true.

[niltia]

My friend's book is mentioned in this paper!!

[teaboot]

There is no earthy way of convincing anyone that the rickroll study link is real. But for what it's worth. It is

[homunculus-argument]

A three-circle venn-diagram where the circles are "sex workers", "the furry community", and "people working in morgues". I don't know what the overlap parts are.

[flufflogic]

Fourth circle needed: IT workers

[homunculus-argument]

You say that with such confidence that I am compelled to trust your vision. Personally I have no idea where this is going.

[trytocallmecal]

i'd say the overlap between "sex workers" and "people who work in morgues" is probably "seeing naked strangers a lot"

[homunculus-argument]

"professional handling of bodies of strangers"?

[small-gods-curator]

Putting my neck out for you folks here

Okay I’ve gone through many of the reblogs and “prefer when clients don’t talk to them” is peak

"The value of the physical form and what is done with it / how it is presented may be either sacred or immaterial depending on the beliefs of the first party, but no matter the case, the first party should have the choice to alter, modify, and impliment whatever physical aspects desired or required for the desired outcome to be achieved regardless of the aesthetic or philosophical preferences of those unaffected", but also "Everybody else thinks they know exactly what your job is and has an opinion on it despite zero first hand experience"

[teaboot]

Project Hail Mary was such a good movie but I cannot stop thinking about how fucking funny it would have been if Ilyukhina and Yao had made it instead of Grace

[teaboot]

The Beetles (boring name AU) arrive back on earth and Stratt opens the video diary and it's Ilyukhina and Yao going "sooooooo your pet twink didn't make it"

[teaboot]

Imagine them taping Grace's glasses onto Rocky's exosuit and hoping she doesn't notice like a pair of exhausted parents swapping out their four year old's dead goldfish for a new one

It's almost like he's stil there with them
