Tbh, I had to look up the English term for this kind of instrument myself. It’s not exactly a word that comes up in casual conversation, English class in school or… any kind of literature, really. And since I generally prefer British English anyway, I decided to use the funnier sounding word for it.

It doesn’t even have to make a difference! Remember 2016, when Dems blamed Jill Stein voters for Hilldawg’s loss? Even if every single Green Party vote had gone to the Dems instead, the electoral result would have been the exact same, most Green Party votes coming from blue states anyway. Nevertheless, libs blamed the 2016 loss squarely on Stein and the Fraternal Order of Bernard Brethren.
Didn’t Stalin suggest this only jokingly?
Yes.
I had a hard time differentiating between creepers and zombies in the dark of night (mind you, it was Beta 1.5 and the night was dark). Suffice to say, the beach that I had settled on looked like Omaha Beach by dawn.
Oh my fucking god, I forgot that had happened.
They renounced their claim onto Mongolia in 2002 and subsequently established formal relations.
I completely stopped watching the most left wing satire show in German TV, Die Anstalt, because they brought up “forced expropriations” under Stalin when covering the Ukraine War. My brothers in Christ, have you ever seen a “voluntary expropriation”*? You arseholes argued for the expropriation of Deutsche Wohnen etc. before, do you think they’ll just hand over 100,000 apartments because you asked nicely? It’s good expropriation when we do it but “forced expropriations” when they do it. There was other fuck ups in terms of bad historiography (like categorising the “holodomor” as a genocide even if the source they listed literally contradicts that classification) but not understanding your own ideology to such a degree is just irredeemable to me.
*Fidel doesn’t count, he’s different.
God, I spent so much time staring at this just waiting for the Loss meme to reveal itself.
Did anyone bother telling them that Jews don’t celebrate Christmas?
Also, as a Home owner you actually end up owning the thing you paid for, which you can then sell (often at a higher price, even). As a renter, you pay more money to end up owning jack shit.
This means exactly nothing. Holy fuck, how do you not snap out of robot politician mode when talking about the Holocaust.
