you write cis on x and get flagged

seems somewhat less restrictive than turkish social media alternatives government's trying to prop up

though that'd not be a particularly high bar

[marsh oracle]

hey meta isnt oppressing them, theyre just changing their tos so you can call them regarded

[fossil basin]

the zuckerberg divorce news will hit like crack

i might check on that rednote app to see how that is

as a non-american there is not too much for me to lose, government does not manage to really keep personal data secure anyway

i also am content with possibilities of different regional demographics interconnecting with each other in a non-hostile way, so

[hoary charm]

would've been pretty funny if the response had been hostile tho

[marsh oracle]

I wouldnt write off that possibility so soon

I think we're gonna see some more fcked up Kanye stuff this year. Him and Diddy were close. I hear he's staying away from US to not get caught up in it but it's speculation. Seems believable tho.

[blazing depot]

You mean... more fucked up than his usual stuff?

Kanye been on a roll after all

[half heath]

At least on the same level of fcked up. Since we did hear some allegations already.

Just on our news as well

[fossil basin]

too little too late, expansionism of israel and turkey will likely reach to unprecedented success in the region

[deft spoke]

brother what does turkey have to do with this

like goddamn im glad these people have peace and can breathe for these 6 weeks

[fossil basin]

a huge economic partner of israel

also within policies, i would call turkey israel v2

or atleast a very similar variation on how the political scene is

[deft spoke]

nothing too late, anything to prevent deaths isnt too late

[fossil basin]

that's historically disproven

[deft spoke]

i aint even gonna start a convo with you

im just glad theyre being able to have a breather after these horrible long months of events

[fossil basin]

i do not think that's a genuine proposal to be honest

[pale flower]

Ayoooo no war talk hereee

[deft spoke]

literally bro

[fossil basin]

also yeah, i was about to say that

[deft spoke]

[pale flower]

Gonna be a bittersweet few months here but I'm really hoping this is the end of it

[fossil basin]

i am just not really quite optimistic about anything political

never had been because nothing great came out in local or country politics, but nothing good else is going to come out from international scenes either

we are about to see expansionism rise as mainline-topics for many countries

[pale flower]

Israel only gets some of the hostages back from this deal btw, no expansionism involved

[fossil basin]

I am not speaking in specifics to the deal when i regard to expensionism, about the overall politics and actions of countries

as the forcing hand of international organizations fall, countries will see chances to expand their reach or borders

[pale flower]

I just don't think this kind of conversation really fits for this specific moment agsdjhgasd

[deft spoke]

uh anyways,

miku in fortnite huh

[pale flower]

OH REALLY???

[deft spoke]

yupp

[pale flower]

do you have an ss

[fossil basin]

i am one of the rare people to not see appeal with miku

[marsh oracle]

gonna believe it when i see it

[fossil basin]

but each to their own

[pale flower]

excuse you

[marsh oracle]

wouldnt be the first deal to fall through

[trim flicker]

miku

[pale flower]

No it's finalized it just got announced by Qatar

[deft spoke]

i aint into miku either but i play fort so yk

[marsh oracle]

ya its finalized once the hostages are free

[fossil basin]

i think some miku fanart is funny, but not super into vocaloids

maybe if i was i would like her more

[trim flicker]

im not a big miku guy but shes cool

i love the 300 billion miku variations

[deft spoke]

fort skin is cute

so far havent played yet, just claimed the monthly passes

[fossil basin]

good for her regardless

[trim flicker]

shes like barbie can be whatever she wants

[hoary charm]

that was very close to something else

[pale flower]

Well the first phase is meant to last 42 days, on the 16th day there need to be further discussions to approve the continuation of the deal past the 42nd day. I can get into it more in DMs since that's not really for this server though

[trim flicker]

and i think thats sick

[fossil basin]

barbie would smash her ass

[trim flicker]

didnt ask

[deft spoke]

imagine comparing two icons

[trim flicker]

barbie not on Fortnite

Biden making me tear up for the last time istg

[fossil basin]

kinda hard for me to have much strong feelings on even politicians i am inclined to support, much less Biden

[pale flower]

Not much about his policies, just his speech

[fossil basin]

though i will admit his kinda untimely joke referencing the wildfires cracked me up

[pale flower]

Made me realize how much hope I can still have for the future

[fossil basin]

i wish when i listened to him he gave me a glimpse of hope

[pale flower]

Also - not exactly war talk, but I'm really hopeful for Lebanon with them now having a new president and PM

[fossil basin]

i just hope they do not get annexed and have better economic situation overall

[pale flower]

Just feels like they're headed for some much needed internal change

I'm watching joseph anderson play persona 3 remake

very fun

[fossil basin]

i had seen parts of it (from the live not cut parts from posts), but my comment was on overall watching him talk

[pale flower]

Persona good

[trim flicker]

not for me but watching joe play is fun

[pale flower]

I like watching others play it more than playing it myself too

I'm just not too big on RPGs unless they're like, MMORPGs

Watching him play tears of the kingdom was peak

I wanna play TOTK myself so I'm avoiding watching it agshjdga

Did he play BOTW?

[trim flicker]

yup

[marsh oracle]

Yea he reviewed it

[pale flower]

[hoary charm]

oh thats the guy with the 2 hour elden ring video

[trim flicker]

Lmao

[marsh oracle]

Mostly because he cant finish his witcher series

[trim flicker]

Its coming this year i believe it

[marsh oracle]

[deft spoke]

So true though, i have so many games i wanna play but watch others play the game instead because i know im either going to have no time playing or lazy to finish

they know how dogshit it would be if they did

[pale flower]

LOL makes sense

[fossil basin]

i am inclined to believe i should demand things from people (atleast directly) that they are able to do so, does not mean one would not want things that they would not be able to do so, more so that one would have to be reasonable making demands

granted, what one deems reasonable and unreasonable changes person to person

[fringe juniper]

I saw it like in frequent since November

[fossil basin]

you do not need to side with some side in a conflict just to take in

asmon is disgusting so is elon

unless there is a deathmatch between the two i am not interested

[ruby helm]

soon: "We have taken steps to ban Asmongold from X, after reviewing his content and finding it does not conform with the respect and values for diversity that X stands for."

[nova holly]

out of the two i think asmon is at least capable of being a decent person

reacting to "wokeness is killing games" videos all day is good for the wallet though

amongst other right wing stuff

[eager parrot]

taking sides

[zenith flume]

but forsure hella entertaining to watch lol

[nova holly]

from 5 minutes of reddit searches

pirate software ran away in hardcore wow and everyone is upset at him about it

[zenith flume]

thats not what people are mad about but yea that's what started it lol

[hoary charm]

[nova holly]

isnt this like the third or fourth time people are up in arms at him about something that happened in an mmo

[eager parrot]

people still play MMOs?

what's popular nowadays?

sure he got some hate before but not like over something simple that got overblown because he just wont say sorry my bad, lol

[ocean vigil]

dude just quintupled down and was being a condescending prick about it

[marsh oracle]

wow classic

[eager parrot]

what was the point of wow classic again? just playing the game all over as if it had just launched?

[marsh oracle]

yea

[eager parrot]

because they launched all the expansions for it again anyway

[marsh oracle]

they done a bunch of experimentation with it now

[eager parrot]

so like .... what was the point

[zenith flume]

yea and they game they're playing is wow classic hardcore like minecraft hardcore

[half heath]

pog everyone gets to live a regression fantasy

[marsh oracle]

hardcore servers, season of discovery with new raids and abilities, a few quality of life improvements

[ocean vigil]

some people wanted to play classic again, some wanted to play tbc again, some wanted to play wotlk again, it's not that deep

[marsh oracle]

its also very cyclical tbf

[zenith flume]

not that deep but pirate certainly made it really deeper with his digging

[marsh oracle]

they are playing regular classic

I will try Worshippers of Cthulhu

the eldritch city building game

does not seem finished but reviews are promising, as time progresses it will evolve to something more, it's not like an aaa priced game or such so

the demo is out for now

not too different from things that get one flagged or suspended on x, and likely in meta as well

per new procedures you cannot call conservatives weird on meta, but they can call queers mentally ill

but yeah, would be oblivious to pretend chinese apps do not have their own censorship issues

regardless some of those are quite odd things to write, like "covid came from china", we know at this point that does not seem to be true

[hoary charm]

none of those things are odd to say

[fossil basin]

i think disinformation about coronavirus is odd to say

there were some cases in italy and in the US from november-december of 2019 prior before Wuhan cases

I never like appointing a specific country for a disease, Americans also seem to have done just that for the "Spanish flu" back in 1919s, which is mainly titled due wrecking havoc in Spain, but has originated in the US

[hoary charm]

The COVID-19 pandemic (also known as the coronavirus pandemic and COVID pandemic), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), began with an outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. It spread to other areas of Asia, and then worldwide in early 2020

The virus was first confirmed to have spread to Italy on 31 January 2020

consensus is that it started at the wet market

on what planet did the pandemic not start in china?

[fossil basin]

i know about the consensus, i would find it quite flawed

i do not know for certain where it started, i do not believe in the conspiracies about it

[dire canopy]

I only saw like 2 tweets from it but I can't see the whole conversations or latest posts from any of them because I don't have a twitter account

so I guess I'll just wait for someone to properly cover this

[fossil basin]

fuck i deleted my message

in 2020, cdc and red cross had reports on their hands per forbes, that would suggest that the virus was in the US before the first identified cases in china and italy

https://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthart/2020/12/01/study-suggests-covid-19-was-in-the-us-weeks-earlier-than-thought-before-first-public-cases-in-china/

it's also reasonably hard to calculate how many cases of a disease is there before the first identified case

[fossil basin]

it's not making shit up, countries overall plan to punish people using vpns

thing is, it's often not effective

there's a difference between what ruling governments want to do, vs what they are able to do

[hoary charm]

it is making shit up because the ruling does not ban vpns

other countries doing so is completely irrelevant to this instance

[fossil basin]

i did not realize it's commentary of the specific ruling

my bad

technically it would go under "access to certain sites being illegal" etc., but for example with countries of very restricted internets so that widely used apps of convinience are banned, it's not a huge issue to use vpns to reach to these sites

but also it's a bit like how countries have differing reactions to piracy

[hoary charm]

my interpretation is that it’s the inverse, it’s not the same as other countries banning specific sites but banning the company from doing business in the US

[marsh oracle]

if bytednace had sold tiktok it wouldnt even be banned

[hoary charm]

the app will still “work” but they’re forced to display info about the ruling and allow US users to download their info

[fossil basin]

yeah i do not think people will be imprisoned for using tiktok with vpn

[hoary charm]

it’ll only break when oracle is forced to shutdown their side

[eager parrot]

the company's operations in the US is ending

just as it was ended in Canada

[fossil basin]

again, i am using discord with vpn for months now

I am fine

and the law here actually forbid access to the site in specific

[hoary charm]

lock him up

[marsh oracle]

seeing peoples reactions to the communist x app is hilarious

like people really do just believe anything now

as long as it vaguely aligns with america bad

[fossil basin]

where is that communist x app

rednote surely isn't that one

[eager parrot]

don't worry, the next four years will do wonderful things for the american image

[marsh oracle]

ya i mean that one

[eager parrot]

and then we're going into a world war anyway so it won't matter after

[marsh oracle]

smth smth china isnt communist smth smth

[hoary charm]

you can make zoomers believe literally anything if you record it in vertical and have the captions show only one word at a time

[eager parrot]

and have a videogame gameplay in the bottom half

[fossil basin]

i would not necessarily call china communist, atleast not now

[eager parrot]

come on now

[fossil basin]

i would not call it america v2 obviously, still

it is still needed to have a nuanced view of wordly things, one cannot just go x country bad to all issues

[eager parrot]

that's too much relativism for my liking

I'll take the american centered world over a china centered world any day

[fossil basin]

i am unsure i would, maybe because i am not american, not that i would do vice versa either

i just do not really have large support over any possibilities

[eager parrot]

you'll just have to embrace the ottoman supremacy then

[fossil basin]

i would rather have america or china centered world over this

[hoary charm]

capitalism with Chinese characteristics

[eager parrot]

why though

you could solve so many world issues if you reignited the empire

[fossil basin]

the aim is merely to destroy the middle class and make cheap en masse work force on min wage

[eager parrot]

middle east was in relative stability for 700 years thanks to the ottoman empire

[fossil basin]

it does not come with relative competencies of ottoman bureaucrats

[eager parrot]

hmmm fair points

[fossil basin]

in terms of administrative matters

it comes with blockberry levels of money laundering

to be honest, way more than that

[eager parrot]

well, gotta start somewhere, didn't say your current administration could get it done

perhaps you could rise to the challenge, erdogan's not gonna live forever

[fossil basin]

He's likely going to live a bit long, but main issue is that... the youth are horribly poisoned

because there is lack of rights or monetary conditions given to the youth, they are inclined to take it out on the vulnerable and minorities

[eager parrot]

that's usually how the incentives to start a new empire begins

[fossil basin]

i think the last chance really was 2023 elections, where dummbass opposition called against mass protests because "it'd look mass public look like terrorists"

and brought all their eggs to the possibility of winning the vote, only to not win that

they did this wide coalition thing having far right to centre left, only to lose again and having all the right parties to betray them after

in the most literal sense of word the right-inclined delegates that went through the opposing coalition, switched to the government

[eager parrot]

it was delusional to think that was a fair and free election anyway

[fossil basin]

that's also another point yeah

[eager parrot]

nearly as free as north korean or iranian elections

[fossil basin]

like, it was kinda shortsighted putting your whole hopes on one election that won't be given to you

Trump has managed to coept things to his way, partly due his actions being accepted by his opposition

he now can pretend to be savior of tiktok while prompting a ban of it, or being an anti-war or pro economy candidate while prompting against it

simply not enough refuttal is taken against him by politicians or oligarchs who claim he is a must avoid threat

kinda reminds me how turkish political scene failed to prevent the rise of erdoğan in early to mid 2000s

i dont think its even possible for trump to save tiktok

the law states an extension can only be given if there's a good enough deal proposed and ready to be signed, which won't happen because bytedance doesnt want to sell

[fossil basin]

i do not think the point is if he can or cannot actually save it here, it's just that he is able to take tide to his favor by pretending to be switching sides on matters, or campaigning for something he never was for

not "unrealistic promises", but "completely opposite direction to what he takes"

[marsh oracle]

he could declare that he wont enforce it (and republicans arent gonna stand up to him anyway)

Not really anything we can do except hope our governments get their shit together

At least we dont live next to russia or in taiwan 🫡

Wind farm lease permits have been withdrawn to protect the marine environment, and prevent a dangerous shortage of wind, if the wind farms use it all up.

"...for a variety of relevant factors, including the need to foster an energy economy capable of meeting the country’s growing demand for reliable energy, the importance of marine life, impacts on ocean currents and wind patterns,"

i mean does renewable energy sources have their minuses, yeah, especially hydroelectric plants for the marine environment, though 1: i did not think wind farms had a big influence in that regard, 2: does not mean shit for those creatures if you are just excusing this move to increase fossil fuel production/consumption

Why are you making factual arguments against a trump policy

i also do think with how trump stands in his first day, that things are going to get real chinese this year

not in state idolization, more so that he right now stands to alienate almost everyone quite blatantly

Samsung S25 Slim is reportedly not going be sold in the US, likely due tarrifs incoming

Trump has option for USA to withdraw from W.H.O. is insane move

[fossil basin]

health conspiracists literally have won

power is on their hands and people will suffer the consequences

[hoary charm]

probably has a bit to do with the amount of $ contributed too

like how he keeps going on about how much the US contributes to nato in comparison to other countries

he has a habit of interpreting these things as being unfair to the US, rather than being part of the reason why the US is the global superpower

[fossil basin]

https://fxtwitter.com/juliahahntv/status/1881599462172422185

237 people were inside the hotel, it is a quite expensive hotel in relative terms, and it was like %90 full

the cause of fire is unknown, but the preparation for a fire hazard seems nonexistent, the building reportedly did not have emergency fire exit/stairs

the ministry also does not have a dedicated firefighting department and depends on municipalities instead

per local municipality(who really should focus on fixing government's lack of oversight instead of hitlerite policies of kicking and trying to massively overtax refugees out), it was the government who had official responsibility to ensure the hotel's safety

[deft spoke]

no emergency exits lmaoo L

[fossil basin]

yeah, people who had been in the hotel prior confirms there were no emergency exit

it's not a conspiracy theory

there were also no smoke detectors or fire extinguishers

[deft spoke]

snow in turkey, funny

[fossil basin]

it's a mountain resort

the country is filled with mountains

[deft spoke]

ill keep it at austria for skiing cough snowboarding bc >>

[fossil basin]

i had went there when i was like 10

not to the hotel, but to the same mountain

[deft spoke]

i know ive been to turkey multiple times lol

[fossil basin]

normally this hotel should not have had authorization to operate under not having anything against possible fires

more than likely the hotel owner is buddies with someone in government and they were let through

this hotel is also the oldest and most popular hotel around the mountain

https://fxtwitter.com/ekoltvv/status/1881612024221745353

people escaping the fire also confirms that there was nothing to counter the fire, and that some of them were saved by them jumping through the windows

the alarm bells also had not rang up

the price is like 900 dollars a day for a room?

more than 10 dead are expected btw, bolu municipal states that "his psychology does not allow him to announce just how many dead are there"

he also states that "the amount of deaths are more than 10, but it'll be better if governor makes official announcement"

so it's not speculation in sole pretense of speculation, country is pretty weird when it comes to announcing just how many victims are there at disasters

the hotel was likely that full mainly because of winter break at school system, so it's time when families go on winter holidays

https://fxtwitter.com/Variety/status/1881316551149707717

[hoary charm]

and that was probably just gpt 4o

people arent ready for what the newer reasoning models can do

[fossil basin]

https://fxtwitter.com/avcemilcicek06/status/1881608631080382741r
another proof of people escaping via tied sheets to each other due non-existence of fire stairs

will be useful to remember that one can do that as an option in case in a similar situation

[fossil basin]

hotel worker also confirms there was no fire stairs, that someone even called people at ground to bring sheets so that they could throw their baby to save them

there are also people dying from having to jump off from the highest floor per him

https://fxtwitter.com/turkiyegazetesi/status/1881635968899260853

another reminder that life is really cheap to lose, or this case, even costs expensive to lose it, atleast here that is

[fossil basin]

main opposition party leader also on video claims that "we will recieve news that will upset us all, and that the death toll is considerably higher than so far announced", he will visit the hotel area

again, would not be easy to escape all that, particularly due possible smoke infestation even before fire can reach them directly

[fossil basin]

https://fxtwitter.com/ankahabera/status/1881661108492063190
because of morgues having filled up, the bodies from the disaster is being supplied to a cold air supplied food truck

https://fxtwitter.com/OzgeKatip/status/1881668574777098750
also per my law school graduate mutual's findings, the forfeit of KFC + Pizza Hut seems more related to "lack of demands" per official statement, though it is also true that their qualities were not great either

it is also likely an issue of price

there is also rising amount of local franchises in terms of fastfood, due gargantuan tariffs on consumer products from outside

foreign fast food companies in turkey always were inconsistent in performance and quite pricey, but kfc were on lowest of the echelons

Yum! Foods also seems to have acquired the franchise rights in Germany concerning KFC and Pizza Hut

[fossil basin]

https://fxtwitter.com/ankahabera/status/1881664482667295167

state provincial judges bans any interviews, news, criticisms or broadcasting about the fire at the hotel

likely because the owner of the hotel is currently ruling party's Trabzon province board of management member since 2003

not surprising, it won't be the first or last

one will have to learn how to self aid and first aid for this instances, i aim to get first aid course in the summer if available

[fossil basin]

https://fxtwitter.com/BirGun_Gazetesi/status/1881676937976000806

per most recent numbers by home affairs minister, death toll has reached 66 and injured list reached 51

it's higher than casualties of the recent california fires

Ew

[pale flower]

Sorry you guys have to deal with this

It's one thing having to deal with his policy changes, it's another having to deal with his fans and everything else

All just sucks

[valid magnet]

earth updates sucked ass after they made a post about Lynja the elderly cook that passed away a few months ago

[last eagle]

ah welp

unfollows

[valid magnet]

also so many of those blue check accounts are the worst

[blazing depot]

I mean, we all have to. Unfortunately the orange turd impacts all of us, albeit not quite as immediate as Americans

[pale flower]

Well still, for some of us it's not as bad as the others 😭

It's definitely not the same as immediately living under his rules

[marsh oracle]

wouldnt surprise me if this account was sold somewhere along the line

[pale flower]

Question for the crowd - is Twitter basically the new 4chan now?

[blazing depot]

Just with more nazis

Including its salute throwing owner

[ruby helm]

Is Trump really going to seize Greenland from the EU?

[hoary charm]

depends what part of 4chan really. pol is probably still a lot worse than twitter but twitter can be worse than some of the (relatively) tame boards

[marsh oracle]

Its a meme until it isnt

[pale flower]

Copy that So on average the answer is yes HAHA

[hoary charm]

yeah it generally just depends on what topic you're wading into, the worst of 4chan has mostly coalesed into pol nowadays

[marsh oracle]

Twitter still has a sizable crowd of insane lefties, idk if those even exist on 4chan

[hoary charm]

no they got ran off into their own safe space years ago

[brave pelican]

i just get kpop and soccer on twitter

[fossil basin]

A lot of gimmick accounts are bagchasers

[brave pelican]

unless all of army becomes nazis i do not see much changing from my end

[fossil basin]

I follow basketball too

[blazing depot]

wdym "become", there's a very sizeable very racist chunk of Kpop fans

[brave pelican]

they're all already blocked

[blazing depot]

fair

[brave pelican]

the racist kpop fan archtype is one of the weirder phenomena i've witnessed on the internet

[fossil basin]

Yeah, i am not too surprised though

[hoary charm]

doesnt seem that weird when you realize people like being contrarian to rile others up

[fossil basin]

I do not think this issue can be resolutely expressed in that

[blazing depot]

Twitter is clout chaser central, it's where such people congregate

[brave pelican]

weird was not the word i really wanted to use

but you get the point

[hoary charm]

yeah it makes sense

[blazing depot]

That's in part examplified in why Kpop communites won't migrate en masse to something like Bluesky like parts of sports twt and Swifties have done

[fossil basin]

I think part of it is related to the larger trend of people (important amount being white men) being creepy and odd towards asian women

[blazing depot]

Imagine losing all those followers and ALL THAT CLOUT

[fossil basin]

And vice versa

[brave pelican]

every now and then there is the occasional green ttyl pfp on twt that will qrt an artms nft euro-history head neonazi type and their obvious ragebait

as an example

and im just like cmon why are you engaging and putting this on my tl!

[hoary charm]

triples fans cop a ton of shit cause of that small group

but people just cant resist taking the bait

[marsh oracle]

Their desire to dunk on jj trumps any other thought

[blazing depot]

Yeah, block and ignore is the way I get most of the ragebait on my tl from a certain person here

[marsh oracle]

Like maybe associating your fandom with the nazis isnt all that great but gotta get that dunk in

[fossil basin]

There is difference between calling out nazis in the fandom and tryint to associate your fandom with them

Many fandoms fail to adress internal issues within them, some people just do not want to make that mistake

Though sadly some of the attempts are more to dunk on a label they do not like rather than to adress the issue

[pale flower]

No one likes to take the blame

[fossil basin]

Which, i like to dunk on labels i do not like, but this is something more serious that should not be used to just set people up

[hoary charm]

you're completely missing the point. it's a small group of like 5 trolls, not a fandom wide issue. they're the kinds of people that are deliberately doing it for the reactions it garners, there's no "calling out" here

"don't feed the trolls" still applies in the year of our lord 2025

[fossil basin]

I think calling horrible people trolls en masse is escaping from responsibility

Are they trolls or posers, i think so

Are there legitimate supremacists especially among wav, seems like it

[marsh oracle]

Whats your solution then?

[ocean vigil]

one day the point will not completely fly over lucifer's head, today is not the day

[pale flower]

I think the issue is more that the general population has them so there'll be percentages of them in many subgroups

[fossil basin]

Learn to check through accounts to see if they are genuinely horrible fans or trolls that want to set the groups up

[marsh oracle]

And what does this have to do with the issue at hand

[fossil basin]

Some time in stan twitter made me experienced being able to check accounts that exist merely to set their cover group up

[marsh oracle]

The accounts talked about are very obvious cases

[fossil basin]

I am not too participant on the biggest part of drama, i just know what i had checked

[marsh oracle]

The issue is that people keep giving them attention and will even claim ouriis or wavs are somehow mass infested with nazi when its very obviously not the case

Ok sometimes you dont need to offer an opinion when you dont know the underlying material

[fossil basin]

Yeah that is a bit of superlative

I would not say mass infested,it's too big of fandom

[pale flower]

Oh that's what we're talking about? wild LOL wtf

[fossil basin]

I only do not know what you do mean as "very obvious cases"

I had seen worse fandoms than wavs to claim they were mass infested with nazis

[hoary charm]

i wasn't exaggerating when i said "like 5"

[brave pelican]

nazi talk isnt in the loona island dialogue rotation at the moment (it never really was)

rn its loonabit

loonabait

[ocean vigil]

the trolls should get stake sponsorship to make them easier to identify

[brave pelican]

i wonder whats next

[marsh oracle]

Um its actually about song demos and covers

[brave pelican]

you are right

[fossil basin]

I am pro "fandoms taking accountability" (still waiting for vivzienne or anyone from hellaverse fandom/staff to say anything about their fans behavior on loonainmexico tag), but not pro-accusing entire your average kpop group fandom of fascism

[fossil basin]

I will teach you how to identify troll accounts, i have experience since like 2019

I am not a troll account, i had seen troll accounts since then

[ocean vigil]

we're speedrunning

[fossil basin]

Classic result of what happens when elon and trump combines

Tourism minister calls ex-residents of the hotel, current victims escaping or not being to escape due lack of fire stairs, and personnel stating there were not any fire stairs, liars, claiming that there were 2 fire stairs

Like they did with the earthquakes or wildfires, they might even turn to blame the victims themselves

In the most recent large earthquake, even Allah was accused by government

normally while having an X account, i wanted to have an account reviewing or having political takes, but due 1: censorship, 2: just how unreasonable the political athmosphere or talking points in turkey is, i converted to a stan account

it was around like 2019

it was just a bit less consuming for me to do that

We currently have a president that is trying to change constitution to likely rule for life

The fried chicken imagery will be removed from the truck which is carrying the dead from the hotel fire, the casualties have risen up to 76

Likely due people understandably finding it tonedeaf to host fire victims in a chicken truck with cooked chicken jpegs all over it

The hotel operator company also does not have any taxation reports for 2021/22/23, and likely also for 2024 either

[fossil basin]
