Lucille Chalifoux, an American mother living in poverty, puts her four children up for sale in order to pay the rent and avoid eviction from her home, hiding her face in shame from the press. 1948

Two of the children, Rae and Milton Chalifoux, were sold to a family on August 27, 1950, who bought them as slaves and forced them to work from sunrise to sunset in the fields. The other two, Lana and Sue Ellen Chalifoux, were also sold, although they had better luck with another family, as did the baby their mother was ...

I recall reading about Afghanistan a short while ago where they were nearly at a point where they would be considered to be experiencing a famine; a country at the brink of officially being considered a famine would experience many horrors and miseries. There were mothers who were forced to sell their children and men who were forced to sell their organs; it was literally an Asian developed app that allowed people to donate to Afghanistan to get around the sanctions, driving away the suffering and hardships. A lot of people look at what happened in Afghanistan with mothers selling their children and think it shows them as less people than us, but they forgot we had a taste of that hardship too.

(Of course I say the app that helped was Asian, but it may have been Chinese and Wikipedia didn't want to give China any credit)

Western culture

The heck? This is just ten global South countries in a trenchcoat

Yeah, honestly it's hard to remember the horrors inflicted on the people themselves when memeing like this; no shade whatsoever on the OP, but one does end up forgetting the horrors inflicted on people

This board of peace thing is gonna be this big? I really thought it was just some joke that other countries were playing along with, but Trump is really planning on making it a big thing?

Show the kid an episode or two of 'to catch a predator' and tell them these are the kinds of people on the other end (I've no idea if there's anything explicit in 'to catch a predator', I never watched it)

Evilsandwichman ,

Man, having reached the end of that article I'm so glad this Mr Zhu is behind bars and awaiting trial in April......wait, who was the article about again?

Evilsandwichman ,

You guys joke but I'm old enough to remember when people saw the passing of Kim Jong Il with hope, wondering if perhaps his son would do better than his father did. It's been disappointment after disappointment, and now horror, but we all still remember the days when the dream that one day North Korea would sell out to us, would one day disarm themselves and allow us to murder their people again was still believed to be achievable. Now, I think most of us have become jaded; I don't think anyone from my generation believes Kim Jong Un will allow us to exterminate more of his people and to poison his home. You are all lucky you have Maria Corina Machado while our parents had Kissinger, but Kim Jong Un is no Nobel Peace prize winner.

has got to scream it to his face

Look at his face; anyone who got that close would be screaming for a different reason

His creepy intimate nights with his wife sound like scream tracks for a horror movie

based on your logic....your fans are in favor of dog abuse as well?

If this person had comprehension skills he'd understand Hasan's logic is the opposite of this; he just wanted to throw in the dog abuse comment really badly.

Hasan is criticizing people who blindly follow their favorite streamers, his logic is opposed to doing that.

Trump has the oratory skills of that kid from that meme who couldn't even finish his sentence.

Beat me to it, lol

THIS they want to nationalize? They demonize nationalization but THIS they want to nationalize? Couldn't you start with the oil and arms companies? Heck, nationalize Barrone's pants, with the height on those things you could build a bridge from America to Greenland.

I don't want to go on a rant, but every time we say we've changed since the 60'/70's/80's/etc I ask okay, did the perpetrators of crimes back then be made to pay for their crimes? How can we say we've changed if we allow people who committed those crimes to walk scot free? This extends even to crimes committed against foreign nations; if we don't prosecute the guilty, how can we say we changed? It's just making excuses and protecting the guilty.

Now it's all coming home to roost.

If you want to close the chapter on this crime or that, you must prosecute the guilty, or else you create the conditions like today where people shrug their shoulders and go on with their lives. The Iraq war was a crime, was anyone in government taken to court for it? The boarding schools for indigenous people was a crime, did anyone get taken to court for it? The experimentations on people was a crime, did anyone get taken to court for it? Bush Senior's response to shooting down an Iranian passenger jet and murdering people was "I'm not an apologize for America kind of guy", and LIBS were defending him when he died. On and on.

We don't have a culture of holding politicians to account, and now when it's a politician we all hate, we feel it. We spent decades saying "that was in the past" and now we're seeing what that actually means.

"There isn't a day I don't feel the weight of that loss, a weight I will carry for the rest of my life," he said.

When she asked you if it was her being SVed on that island how would you like it, you said you had two other daughters so it's okay.

Is the UN website trying to be clever by saying "more than 4,850 square metres" and "Over 800 landmines were safely destroyed"? Yes, 18,000 is indeed more than 800, but that phrasing seems oddly misleading.

Evilsandwichman ,

I guess, I just feel the site should mention the full extent, not mention just a fraction of it

Evilsandwichman ,

What are you talking about? Nothing says indigenous to the Middle East more than snow based sports

Evilsandwichman ,

As a person who grew up mostly socially isolated (and nearly became a chud), when you don't have a community of normal people around you to tell you not to do this, and you don't have people to reach out to for advice, it's very easy to look at bad advice or nonsense in a vacuum (or on chud filled social media like 4chan) and think it has any merit

For evidence: look up videos of students of nonsense martial arts who get soundly trounced by people who ACTUALLY know martial arts; they saw a guy waving his hands like he's in a slap fight and ACTUALLY try to use that style against people who are trying to punch them in the face

On the plus side though, most people who engage in this nonsense are chuds so......good

revised cybersecurity law

My brother in humanity, our government can watch you eating snails off the buttocks of the woman you're cheating on your wife with and you're concerned about a country that doesn't meddle in your politics

Evilsandwichman ,

I'm reminded of a journalist on the daily show telling Jon Stewart that they reported Iraq had WMDs because that's what the CIA said and if they wanted to continue getting info from the CIA, they'd have to repeat it even when they didn't know whether it was true or fake

Which like....makes their 'reporting' no different than just using their imagination

Evilsandwichman ,

I wish, instead the take away has been that America is turning into China

Evilsandwichman ,

I get you're being sarcastic but the reality is that people also benefited from being reactionary and so were incentivized to play dumb about what the government does; French people who hate Traore for example don't hate him because he's a dictator, they hate him because his success (and consequently the success of the Sahel states) will impact them economically but because they don't want to reveal their orcish nature, they pretend they hate him because they hate dictatorships

Evilsandwichman ,

They don't see Palestinians as humans but they see them as human enough to steal their organs for themselves

(CW: a scene mentioned in one of Ursula Le Guin's book that talks about SV)

spoiler

I'm reminded of a scene in Ursula's book 'the word for world is forest' where the violently racist military colonizers refer to the indigenous race living on the planet as animals and one of the newcomers to the planet who was present asks them about how they've forced themselves on the women of that race and asks that if they don't see them as people, then do they believe they had been engaging in bestiality

Evilsandwichman ,

This should be horrifying people worldwide a lot more than it barely currently does

Evilsandwichman ,

We gave the world burgers, give us credit for that at least (don't fact check me, I need this)

Evilsandwichman ,

Israelis look exactly like Palestinians

Not the Western ones (I'm still reminded of that documentary I saw where a guy speaks with a literal blue eyed blonde woman with blonde children who was saying she's native to that region; she said at first it's not colonialism and then shortly after said she doesn't see what's so wrong about colonialism)

Evilsandwichman ,

Honestly before he 'condemned' the racist parts of the video, his fans would most likely have all been saying 'How is it racist how is it racist'

Now that he's said he 'condemns' the racist parts, his fans will just say 'look he condemned it look he condemned it'

Evilsandwichman ,

Every flavor of lib, lefty, chud, etc arguing for days, months, years, hours on end about what is right and wrong, about why this is right and why that is wrong, exhausting every mental faculty to justify their viewpoints

The ultra-wealthy: "Hey we got a hot <redacted> we're bringing along!"

Evilsandwichman ,

He's either thinking they're going to try and pin something on him or.....he doesn't think what he's saying and doing will amount to anything and is instead doing it to either stay relevant or because Hillary is going to try to run against Trump again (which if she loses again will be funnier than if Kamala were to run and lose again)

It's also possible whatever evidence exists against him in the files amounts to very little or nothing (it could be he was careful enough not to let himself get caught doing anything incriminating)

Evilsandwichman ,

He looks like he sticks crayons up his nose

What does wumao mean? I've read twitter posts by Chinese users who use it against....I think anti-China Asian Americans?

Evilsandwichman ,

Ah, thanks

Evilsandwichman ,

Sorry, not reading that wall of text from a genocide enabling zio; free palestine

Evilsandwichman ,

Me? No. The kind of person who would write an article like this? Probably.

Evilsandwichman OP ,

I think the guy was just trying to say something that would personally strike at the racist and people who like him, I don't think he was saying that as a serious principle

Evilsandwichman OP ,

Can you imagine when he gets in contact with the woman to ask her to take the video down (which like, wow that is bold, especially when he filmed the interaction himself for his loser followers) he actually has the gall to say "I don't know what I said that was so offensive", while also crying about him and his family receiving death threats

AND the woman took it down, and AFTER she took it down he had the gall to tell her he doesn't see why anything he said was offensive

Cure for this parasite three fash-bash daily

Evilsandwichman ,

it was a violent revolution not a peaceful evolution

Yeah cause what the Chinese needed was to dress up in mascot costumes and parade around the streets in front of the emperor so he could know he was owned.

Evilsandwichman ,

Also if you strike, we'll organize it so it's not too inconvenient for our places of work, and we can make a whole picnic of the thing; also it can't be more than a day because our bosses need us back.

Evilsandwichman ,

Started with Demons souls; I saw the cover art, was like 'huh', and decided to buy it; the cover looked generic and yet something about it made me want to buy it.

I played it and had a genuinely fun time, but as much as I enjoyed it I never got the 'OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER I NEED MOOOOORE!' feeling that apparently tons of other players got. I enjoyed it a lot, don't get me wrong, but the hype that exists today I never felt myself about the genre. Also Demons souls felt the easiest of all the titles I played.

I also remember feeling the game felt kind of generic but still provided a fun experience; I had no idea the studio that made it was so big (I mean they made armored core, and I LOVED armored core). I remember when I entered those hallways in the tower and seeing those mindflayers (cause obviously they're mindflayers), I thought to myself 'are these guys gonna get sued for this?'

Also some of the bosses in that game? I don't think they ever recreated that sense ever again, and instead focused on just straight up boss fights with no gimmicks.

Take the blind monk for example; he literally can't see you and has to find you via sound. Also you had the flying manta ray boss fight that they coincidentally left a sword that fires air blasts in the same general vicinity. You also had the boss fight where you would be going down a flight of stairs trying to avoid getting struck while doing so. You also had the tower knight boss fight where you had to go up the walls and take care of the ranged enemies first, or the lance boss that you fight in a tight corridor that best suits HIM. You also had the boss fight where you could be summoned into another person's world to take the role of the boss there.

I recall when I was summoned into another player's game as the boss; it took us forever while fighting because clearly we both had giant stores of healing herbs, so I basically whittled him down to him nearly needing to heal up; he had low-ish health and NEARLY needed to start worrying about dying.....I put my arms down and just let him come at me....yeah....come on, get closer, you see my guard down, you know you can do it, you know you want to, just make a strike, just try and hit me, go on, do it.....and he lunges at me and I PARRY and RIPOSTE! Now THAT was a thrill!

Although I hated the gem geckos; they only appear once and if you don't kill them you don't get to see them again until the next playthrough? When I first started playing I didn't even know what those things were. Lousy idea honestly.

I never did like the open world aspect; I liked the Demons souls hub area, and I liked that every area had its own theme.

Isn't the only concern there literally just the CIA and Mossad, both of whom he was working for?
