Depending on the industry/role, companies do background checks or might ask for references from previous employers, so it’s fine unless you get caught

Yeah, I was a senior manager at Lehman Brothers from 2000 to 2008, trust me bro

If you draw silly faces on the eggs will they hatch into silly geese?

Tja. Kann nicht klagen.

And thus began the drought that wiped out 95% of terrestrial species. The other 5% learned to like salt water.

They’re referring to when you trying to remove a stain from a previous poo

No, she’s making a Lesbenraum instead. Much more based.

When someone makes works on a project for a long time and makes something really cool, you always get stuck-in-the-muds saying things like “Looks like someone has too much time on their hands”

I suppose that solves the mane issue, but it wouldn’t behoof them to help

Oh right, I’m on board with that. Using ancient history for modern land claims is ridiculous.

The conquest of Canaan narrative is fictional propaganda, not a historical account of what actually happened.

Palestine was literally the name of a Roman province.

Esit: Okay I actually read the article and it does make some sense, given that it was talking about the time before then.

Insert the turning the calendar to 1984 meme, but unironically

Silence bootlicker. How can it not be targeted at Ukraine when Ukraine was burdened with much higher grain quotas than they could sustainably meet? It’s absolutely disgusting that you would say it’s Nazi propaganda to call out a policy that led to the deaths of millions of people. And if you think this is some bias against communism, then you should know my opinion is the same about the Irish potato famine, which was instrumentalised as part of Britain’s genocide of Ireland. Just because the UK didn’t create the potato blight which was necessary for the potato famine doesn’t mean it didn’t capitalise on it to further its own imperialist ends. In the same way, even if the government of the USSR didn’t set out to cause a famine in Ukraine, it certainly did what it could to weaponise it.

Inperialism is as imperialism does, no matter what political ideology it wraps itself up in.

No one was starving

I suppose the deliberate starvation of millions of Ukrainians was just Western propaganda?

I second this. Erika’s great!

Give us today our cognitive dissonance

NIMBYs 🙄

The PS is an incredibly ignorant and unnuanced take. I’m not a Christian or a Muslim, but you’re projecting an image that you have of religion most likely based on conservative and institutional Christianity and Islam. There’s so much diversity within these groups that dismissing everyone who associates with Christianity or Islam as idiots is ridiculous. While many of them are backwards, science-denying, homophobic, transphobic, racist, nationalist bigots who absolutely deserve all the criticism, and there are churches which induce trauma and hurt on vulnerable people, there are also plenty of people for whom religion is not about belief in supernatural beings or the authority of a book written around two thousand years ago.

For many people, it’s all about being part of a community, and religion is an effective way of bringing people together across social boundaries. They enjoy the music, the rituals, the eating together and the charitable events, and they find the myths and stories of the religion to be more of a convenient excuse for all of that without needing to believe that a god really exists or that their book should be taken as some kind of moral authority. This is especially true for people born into the tradition without any choice about their religious affiliation until they were independent from their family. Now, if you were arguing that the world would be better off without Christianity or Islam, that would be a much more understandable position, but I think calling anyone who identifies as a Christian or Muslim an idiot is just plain ignorant.
