Cult Icon Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Bakhmut is now totally destroyed, a dead city. Over the past 48 hours, Wagner PMC launched an artillery offensive with incendiary and thermobarbaric rockets on the remnants of a cluster of Ukrainian units and are storming the final 2.5 sq. KM. Drone footage of the final corner of Bakhmut. Russia is going to do their annual "Victory Day" parade, maybe the Ukrainians will launch a terrorist attack.

SympathysSilhouette Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 The discussion about Cleopatra is always so dumb. She likely looked Mediterranean based on her heritage though no one knows for sure what her appearance was like exactly. I think both sides of this discussion are dumb. Both the black community claiming her based on no historical basis and the white community being mad if a non-white actress plays her.

SympathysSilhouette Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I mean Sienna Guillory and Diane Kruger both played Helen of Troy and I'm pretty sure that if the woman actually existed, she would not have resembled either of those actresses (considering Troy was likely located in what is now the north-western coast of Turkey). Modern day Turkish woman: Sienna as Helen: DIane as Helen "But Helen was actually Greek herself!" Okay, but in terms of type (hair color skin color facial structure) Greek women are very similar to Turkish women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleopatra being black was a thing in the US since I was a kid. Another one was Black Jesus. 19 hours ago, Enrico_sw said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one was Black Jesus. I know that the African-American community has long claimed Cleopatra but that too is entirely based on junk history. I guess it's because of the cultural cachet of the Egyptian civilization but that is stupid. There were very impressive societies in Central Africa too at the time, so I don't see why there is a need to believe in a faux history that makes Cleopatra black. I guess perhaps it's because of how famous the Ptolemaic Kingdom is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens all the time with fictional characters too. I like Elle Fanning a lot and the production values of this show is quite good but both actors are 0% Russian in speech and mannerisms. Everytime I see the show it just looks like Americans and british people cosplaying as Russian nobility. The Anna Karenina movie looks really fake too. It really lowers the interest level and authenticity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true but he is also responsible to Tesla shareholders, employees, and financiers. This whole Twitter journey of his appears to be rather personal and as he said, not actually so much about money and corporate diversification.

The comparison with the Joker is terrible and unjustified. Musk wants freedom whatever the cost. It's a noble combat. He's more a Robin hood for me. Biden is responsible for the US, yet he and his goons keep making it an awful place. Far left extremism and soft-totalitarian rules have made this country a shithole. He is the real Joker, but, despite all this, they still have supporters, which is extremely surprising. The US is going full retard, like a bus driving full speed against a wall.

Enrico_sw Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Anheuser Busch's executives are also responsible to Tesla shareholders, employees, and financiers. Yet, they make terrible decisions, who don't have the added benefit of giving more freedom to the people. Same for Dove, Miller and most of the American brands that just want to please the neo-totalitarian movement that leads the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
