Never seen it, sounds interesting!

Foiled by my own uncultured ignorance!

Yeah, didn't look great for the flame. I thought he came back in the game but turns out I had him confused with someone else.

It just seems wild to me. They have almost 2K comments and if they're mostly like this... Like, it doesn't seem enough to be trolling just... unpleasant? Blech.

[-] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 4 points 1 day ago

In the post, the thing about which you are commenting, there's the death total provided by OP. There are hostages, taken in the attack who died as a result of being taken hostage.

I provided both in the comment in this post.

I have no idea what accurate tallies you are demanding or what they would have to do with the Guardians headline. Are you a bot?

[-] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 3 points 1 day ago

YDI, You’re not really correcting numbers but speculating.

There's the "day of" death total provided by OP. There are hostages, taken in the attack who died as a result of being taken hostage. These two numbers, with some margin of error, give the casualties listed by the Guardian.

To declare the hostages as somehow being counted differently is as stupid as ignoring radiation poisoning when counting the casualties in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

If you want debate as to whether whoever deserved what, you can do that with someone else. But your gross perspective does not change the number of deaths that resulted from October 7th.

I think you might mean quite a bit earlier than the bronze age? I'm not an expert by any means but my understanding is that the Egyptian bureaucracy and a tax system meant that slaves could build the pyramids in the bronze age.

Holy shit kid, I was going to give an actual response but then, good God, read your comment history. You seem determined to be miserable at people.

I hope you are more pleasant in real life and/or things get better for you.

Take care.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe the Luddites/weavers might be the first job loss victims but you're probably right.

Okay, hope you feel better friend!

Edit: missed a pair of words, like a jerk!

[-] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Again, if you uhhh, look at the post to which you are referring, you'll find them! I still believe in you!

If you really are having difficulties reading the post etc, just let me know.

If Norway just created a Noble Prize, would he notice the difference? And if you surprised him with it in person, no one could ever point out that it wasn't the Nobel prize as trump can't stand to ever be wrong so he'd say that's the one he really wanted all along.

Problem solved, someone can nominate me for the second Noble prize.

Folks ready for another season? Any wild predictions, hopes or takes?

I uhhh, decided for once to go big on optimism/nostalgia for 23/24 in my fantasy pool. Mostly because after I took JT relatively early, Petey was available fairly late and having the two of them together amused me. Then I doubled down by taking Boeser. And I have since tripled down by adding Silovs off waivers.

Seemed appropriate for spooky season!

Also, if anyone has thoughts/tips on using this format better or meming in general, I'm all ears! Just trying to contribute to the fediverse etc.

Community description for ManufacturingConsent is "when the media decides who you are rooting for." So, being banned for questioning their narrative strikes me as absurdly funny. I mean, I guess if the idea of the community is that geneva_convenience should decide whom you root for, that would track.

The post in question: https://piefed.ca/post/266435

(I pointed out that the Guardian was probably including the hostages who died after the attacks. This really bugged OP and led to a ban.)

I don't really care for a remedy, seems a silly place. Just thought it was funny as heck.

(For what it's worth, like most, I side with Palestine but I think being accurate lends credence to our cause.)

Cootes, plus Lekkerimaki, Raty, EDP, Mancini all look like pieces who have at least an Nhl floor, which feels pretty awesome.

If Petey can get back to form I'd almost kinda be ready to believe in us again?
