To me, an ignorant person who has only begun to seriously question capitalism after being exposed to lemmy for about a year, this visual analogy seems to imply that capitalism and fascism are thought to be distinct in the eyes of the maker of this meme, though. I think the suggestion of having them both be homelander conveys a different message which seems to be the consensus here: they are different sides of the same coin.

Admittedly, I'm out of my element here but I'm enjoying the exposure.

It goes both ways though. Kyle should also know his friend wouldn't be happy about potentially losing his career over calls to murder a person for political reasons.

Disclaimer: I fucking hate Trump and wish he was killed years ago so I'm not saying I disagree with what Kyle said, I'm just disagreeing with when he chose to express it because he was there representing tenacious D which extends to jack as well. I'll also add that at this point I worry that killing Trump now would only replace him with someone actually competent to drive the fascism train over the tracks that are already firmly in place, but that's a different discussion.

I lost some respect for jables here, the way he's seemingly throwing Kage under the bus.. But at the same time I can recognise that JB has always tried to keep up a positive persona. Not apolitical but he's never been the type to promote violence directed at specific people. Kyle did him kinda dirty by doing something to potentially harm that (assuming he was truthful when he said he was blindsided by it, and not just saying that after it blew up in the news).

Not saying Kyle is wrong and Jack is right here, though. I've always felt a little bad for Kyle that Jack put tenacious D and therefore Kyle on the sidelines when his Hollywood career took off. Kyle was rightfully quite jaded about that and I wouldn't be surprised if that's led him to doing this without considering the possible consequences for Jack.

The whole thing sucks for both of them, I guess.

All they're saying is that water treatment costs money. Not that you should buy nestle stolen and bottled water...

I've lived for 33 years, 12 or so if those years heavily featuring K'nex and only after reading your comment realised that K'nex is a phonetic play on "connects".

Right up until the house of cards topples over, the country is in shambles and people start seeking justice, of course.

I went through so much lip balm over the course of a year while taking isotretinoin. Miraculous how well it works though. The acne hasn't returned since finishing the treatment a year ago.

This is the exact reason people tell you you're wrong when you say "I don't have anything to hide" in the face of anti-privacy laws.

If you have used your ID to access porn sites they already have you on the list. You've put yourself on it, even. If Project 2025 succeeds in criminalizing porn users then guess what? You're on the list to get arrested and shipped off to prison to go be a ~~slave~~ productive countryman.

Lurking in the depths of the earth, waiting for us to finally turn this planet into a desolate desert wasteland.

The piece of shit app won't even let me look at the picture in the post. Clicking on it just brings me to the comments again, in an infinite recursive loop.

The fuck happened to the Internet as a whole?! Google images refuse to display in full screen (using Firefox at least, I'm sure it's intentional). I've deleted my Facebook account and any time a friend sends me a video hosted on FB it nags me about an account and refuses to allow me to unmute the video. News articles are perpetually behind paywalls.

I'm sick of it. Everything has been hollowed out and reduced to a drip fed stream of garbage. Christ, is this the fucking future? Can't wait for AI to make it all even worse.

Sorry, I'm aware this is a Wendy's. The door's right there, yeah? I'll see myself out.

The appeal of iDubbz back in the content cop days was that it was unfiltered and gritty. I never much cared for the jackass style shock factor things he did together with filthy Frank but he was the king of burning down vapid youtube one-day-wonders like ricegum.

It has a huge "you had to be there" factor nowadays though in my opinion. I have never felt compelled to go back and rewatch anything because it just doesn't seem to fit into this era of the internet.

Off the top of my head: right click the task and hit end process. That has literally never failed me. Back in windows XP it might sometimes not actually kill the process but then there was always the "kill process tree" button to fall back on.
