I couldn't have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago. WTF is happening? Maybe CERN did break the universe with the LHC

And what's sad is that he's wealthier than everyone that uses lemmy, combined.

Why the fuck does good shit always happen to bad people, and good people always get shit on?

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Probably not a popular opinion around here, but this is actually one of the rare cases where he is (was) extremely talented at his main thing (producing). That doesn't mean he deserves that disproportionate amount of wealth, but he's contributed more to culture than elon ever could.

You don't get wealthy if you're good, because it takes a certain amount of greed and materialism

He's "one of the good ones" and rich so he's all good.

That's always worked out in the past.

I think he forgot that a long time ago.

What's insane is that FOX allowed this commercial to air in the first place. I'm sure someone at FOX will say "We had no idea he would put this on his site", which we'll all know is bullshit because they scrutinize the fuck out of every Super Bowl ad before it gets to air. There is a 0% chance that nobody knew about this beforehand.

It's shopify, which requires an account to report. So if anyone has a shopify account, please do the needful. Can probably be considered a threat of violence or terrorist organization, or both.

[-] rimu@piefed.social 31 points 4 months ago

I have an account.

When I tried to report it as terrorist organization, the form gets stuck in a redirect loop. It's broken.

Threat of violence worked but I needed to provide my full name, phone number and address which felt pretty shit.

I want to but I think the Thunder filter feature is a bit aggressive. I blocked the word "US" but I realized a long while later that it was also blocking all links to my instance sh.itjust.works. I'm afraid I'll lose all titles with "yesterday" or "yes".

It's like a Mel Brooks movie! The guy in charge standing with his nose in the air, says something that any normal person would think is dumb as hell. And all the "yes men" are like "Bravo!" "Bully!" "Good show!" "Excellent!"

This goes for the orange man and X dork as well...

I actually didn't know that this was legal to do in the U.S.

[-] princessnorah 13 points 4 months ago

There aren't a lot of jurisdictions in the world that ban the sale or display of the swastika (in Nazi-supporting circumstances). Australia and Germany are the only ones that come to mind, and Australia has only done so very recently (this year).

Don’t forget about Austria, although I believe that won’t be for much longer as the next head of state is openly a Hitler fanboy

Anybody know what the official shop site is called? On yeezy(dot)com is only one item and that’s a white r-Shirt with a black swastika on the front.

The shop feels broken tho, because there are almost no ux elements.

Is he doing this to remain relevant?

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That is the official website. It's linked on the wiki page for Kanye, and Kanye has advertised it on his Insta. I thought it was fake too because it's so poorly designed. You can't even see the price of the shirt until it's in your cart.
