cinemashoebox seeing a lot of people RTing this guy's threads lately, and can we not, please? 10 minutes on his profile makes clear he's another of the tedious fascist-adjacent trads and his threads are full of gross dogwhistles about nationalism. always another one of these guys popping up pic.twitter.com/0oAN07hSbz

fandorinmusic @chris_bbde Ja, weil's mir irgendwie komplett latte ist und religiöse Kopfputze ja auch durchgehen. "Gefällt mir halt" finde ich einen ebenso gültigen Grund wie "ist wegen Reli"

Pugatto einzige verschwörungstheorie an die ich glaube ist dass "frozen" nur produziert wurde damit wenn man "walt disney frozen" googlet der film kommt statt das gerücht dass er seit den 1960ern im kryoschlaf ist

AlexPetrovnia The bigots aren't bigots bc of the science; they're using their understanding of the science to justify their bigotry. When they feel the "evidence" isn't in their favor, they choose to ignore it or belittle it.

jstanchak “I completely agree with you, but also, here’s some unrelated bullshit that I'm going layer on top of your idea so that it seems like the two concepts are related,” is such an underrated form of violence.

_danilo A quick Google search confirms this is a common issue on these machines. I try to launch Lenovo's frontend for all of this junk...

xArcky Just saw the most jarring depiction of Dutch culture in a video game. @CallofDuty is a $30 billion franchise yet somehow cultural sensitivity remains an glaring issue.

lsanoj Microsoft seems to realize, that preventing people from installing crap software, is much easier, if there are clean options to it.
