Cool! Yeah the depictions there look more realistic than this unbound guy just chilling as he is executed.

It’s probably a funny depiction of trepination, right?

The drilling, sawing or scraping of holes in the skull is one of the earliest medical procedures we have evidence for. It relieves pressure and brain swelling. As gruesome as it sounds, it was quite survivable and people survived multiple trepinations deep into prehistory.

Once you get hospitals in the medieval period the survival rate drops - don’t be in a room of sick people when your skull has a hole in it.

We’re not asleep we’re just depressed!

Check out the british version of HIGNFY! I’ve enjoyed the US one a lot, but the british one is even better.

I often find myself thinking that, but i suspect the truth is more complicated. I’d guess the situation at cnn is more nuanced and piecemeal than just being straight up complicit.

controversial, taxpayer-funded video ads

Even after being banned from the press pool, cnn insists on calling something that is openly illegal ‘controversial’.

Exactly. Previously it would be some rich right wing lunatic trying to get the president to fire the nukes, now-a-days the rich right wing lunatic builds a machine to do it.

This is the biggest photo i got, sorry for the glare and not snapping the name of the artists/work.

Just south of the glare is nixon and zhou enlai meeting, above it is the redguard bugging confucius. The top right has the GDP slot machine, the zombie next to it is Empress Dowager Cixi as her grave is looted by a warlord named Sun Dianying.

The characters from journey to the west are there, tank man, mao’s 4 pests campaign, the AIDS bloodbath and heaps of references i don’t get.

The whole thing was done in that style.

Up in machuria there was a gaunt little cartoon POW being tortured by a cartoon unit 731 doctor, little cartoon redguard telling little cartoon confucius “that’s a load of useless farts”, two little cartoon mushroom clouds over hiroshima and nagasaki, etc.

Is there anything more american the embarassingly losing an unneccesary war with a much smaller opponent?

‘Fake email job’ is great! I’d not heard that before.

Where i work, all the bosses get the day off and those of us who actually work still have to work.

How the hell is that supposed to work?

It’s not. Even he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

He’s just a senile old man giving voice to passing thoughts.

Yep, definitely what i said! 😀

I think it’s just ai, right? The MJ card says “The world deung op al” and the Home Alone one says it’s from John “MLON…”

Except we all warned them it was a scam

I wish it worked that way, but that’s just not how the human organism is. Mostly we don’t accept information coming from outside our identity group, especially when it undermines our worldview. Almost everyone is like that.

Showing people that they could be accepted by a different identity group is a vital precursor to them changing how they see themselves. Shedding the old identity is necessary before a change of beliefs and ideas about the world.

If you show people they have no chance for community outside of trump supporters, they’ll continue to support fascism. Show them there is an out, and our numbers will swell as the reality of fascism undermines the lies their community believes.

Disapointing to see a simple truth downvoted.

A certain % of people are vulnerable to the grift of fascism. Scorning them is like laughing at someone who lost their retirement funds to a crypto-scam. Those of us lucky enough to be able to see it for what it is should welcome all the victims of fascism.

Trump-voting victims of trump and their stories are powerful weapons we can use against this regime and its wealthy collaborators.

I found it so satisfying! Especially when you’d get it all off a roller in one piece.

“How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I’d been sexually assaulted?” Lucy reportedly asked. Kris allegedly answered that he would not be that upset because he had two other daughters living with him. Lucy reportedly left the room “quite upset.”

Later that same day, Kris allegedly took Lucy by the hand while she was in the kitchen and took him [her, presumably] to his bedroom. Lucy’s boyfriend said that after about 15 seconds he heard a loud bang and Kris screaming for his wife.

One of the last things you tell your daughter is I don’t care if you get raped, i got two more of you, then you drag her to your room and “accidentally” shoot her.

Also a huge contributor to the mass extinction event currently underway.

Pesticide companies should be forced to direct most of their profits to mitigation efforts and their executives need to be jailed.

I feel shitposting has to have an element of trolling, either by being ostentatiously low effort or low quality, purposely offensive, obviously being said in bad faith, etc.

Politely stating something that most people agree with is just posting.
