8·4 days agoSo my family’s chickens are old and a bit skittish (they weren’t super socialized when they were young) except for one. This hen hurt her leg at some point and couldn’t walk very well for a week so my sister would carry her around, to the water dish, food etc. Since she recovered over a year ago she is the only hen who lets everyone pick her up. She’ll even run out to see people and will stand on your shoe until you carry her.

4·6 days agoYeah, if the post wasn’t removed I woulda mentioned that I didn’t mean any ill will towards you for making the post lol - the disgusted “ugh” didn’t help with the tone though I’m sure.
IMO it’s weird that this type of post isn’t allowed on c/fakenews, but I admit the mind of the fakenews mod is an enigma to me
longboi
always looks odd, seeing the slide serrations on the front of this family of guns

Lol, ass
I just don’t find that type of post funny and would rather have them blocked at once. I was actually thinking that having the post removed wasn’t helping because there wouldn’t be a nice place for such posts to reside that I could then block lmao
Ugh, I’d really rather not have this stuff contaminate my feed when I have that comm blocked already

Remember this handy chart before trying this funny joke

I remember the pervasive rumor that their track “Shiny Happy People” was an anti-China anticommunist song about tiny man square. It was never confirmed afaik but it’s seeming more likely now…
15·8 days agoDigressing to treat topics for a moment; I have been reading the 6th edition of Achtung! Cthulhu (call of cthulhu ttrpg set in ww2), and its Guide to the Eastern Front specifically. It is strangely nuanced in that it notes the reality of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact as a measure to buy time after France and British rejections and it even mentions the Munich betrayal.
The weird but not entirely unexpected thing is it then goes on to portray Stalin as stupid and bloodthirsty, and “not one step back” as an “unbelievably cruel” order that blindly threw soldiers into a meat grinder.
This is after it gives relatively neutral or positive portrayals of Zhukov, Molotov, Beria, Khruschev, and Tito - Stalin is the only dude in the book who’s portrayed as a cartoon character. It ofc praises Lenin as a genius organizer and strategist in comparison too. The cognitive dissonance is intense - it even acknowledges that the Finns were fighting on the fascist side which is an unusual for this type of media, but only Stalin is unequivocally evil.

- tho I spose we don’t know exactly how these vampires work. Is bloodthirst an addiction? Does a vampire need to convert someone every time they drink blood? Can you be 
vampire? Does being a vampire fuck with your empathy when no master vampire is around? Annie seemed to have a pretty negative view of the whole “vampires fucking with souls” experience and she seemed to know what she was talking about… We want answers!
spoiler
Wouldn’t mean much if it wasn’t tempting right? Feel like they’d be sacrificing their own will for that of the master vampire though - they’d have community but I don’t know how much agency & personality they have while he’s still around. Seemed like they were free to do as they wished after he exploded though, wouldn’t necessarily mind that…
Saw Sinners a couple days ago - great movie. Wasn’t expecting it to get so real
spoiler
When they talk about that night being the only slice of freedom they could get, and white supremacy tried to destroy it like everything it touches…nearly had me tearing up by the end thinking “it can’t be like this forever”.
I loved the vampire leader and his attempts to relate the oppression of the Irish to our black protagonists, how they were forced to abandon their culture and language and work for the benefit of a parasite class - literally so he can get in and kill them! It created some real sympathy for a second before reminding “DON’T TRUST WHITEY!”. I wasn’t expecting this visceral representation of people seeking respite from white supremacy and the realities of “assimilation” in my vampire horror movie.
Oh, and the music was just perfect. The scene of spirits of past and future visiting was beautiful and tragic in the face of what was to come - and melancholy in the context of the society they lived and we continue to live in.
Michael B Jordan was great as the twins, but I loved Wunmi Mosaku. She killed it as Annie. I thought Smoke’s last scene was fun but was a bit of a cheesy tonal shift - the violent catharsis after the night of tension was maybe necessary though, and I did get teary at him seeing Annie and holding his baby.
I give it 9/10 pure kino.

Some books and comics basically. They were controversial for deviating from the tone of a lot of previous media, but I quite liked that honestly. The first media they showed up in was the book Vector Prime, but it was a part of a loooong running series including extended character arcs and running plots so it’s kinda a terrible place to start…
