I was just looking at new movie torrents and saw “12 hrs in october” and I had to go look at the comments. 4/5 were calling it out as zionists propaganda.

Gotta love how many “experts” come out of the woodwork whenever a new conflict pops up. Even my favourite Ukraine war analysts who are usually rather reliable and cautious are now spouting bold claims without backing about something entirely out of their field of expertise.
When you’re using your parents’ Netflix, should you still boycot it or does it not matter because you’re not paying for it?
I can tell you how to torrent all the shows and movies you want to watch :D
The ethical thing to do is teach your parents to be pirates and cancel their subscription.
Your parents are gonna pay for it anyway so might as well use it unless you can convince them to boycott it themselves.
To one more year of tankying around in the grad Hope everyone has a great week!
As always, communism will win.
Happy new year, Comrade!
Happy New Year to you as well!
Thank you! Have a great weekend and happy new year to you
You as well, happy new year!

I got my name changed last week as some of you know & tomorrow is my bay! Big year for me tbh. Big moves in the career dept & i feel much better about the direction my life is going. Happy new year’s y’all!
I aim to get there some day.
You certainly will! I’m catching up on your journey rn
Yeah, I aim to start HRT by the end of next year; that’s my current deadline.
That is so exciting! I still viscerally remember what it was like when I started. Looking back now it’s so cute & I’mvery proud of myseld for taking the plunge. It sounds like you’re setting up a good foundation for yourself.
Of course, thank you!
I love seeing people being happy about their life’s direction! I hope your 2026 will keep bringing you joy :D
I reported a comment on Instagram underneath a news post about the first babies being born in Belgium in 2026. One of them was from an Afghan family. The comments literally called them vermin. Like, not even sugarcoated or dogwhistles, legit vermin.
Meta reviewed it and apparently calling people vermin does not break their rules.
Depends on who you call vermin. Try saying that to an imperial core tech mogul.
Fascism is mainstream again, supported by these websites, so yeah it doesnt break their rules.
But if you call Palestinians humans? Instant permaban.
Feel like every american movie ive saw recently is just trying to criticize the way the US is moving forward but without any real substance. The leo dicaprio movie weirds me out because it obviously depicts the military and oligarchs (the club guys) as fascists but it can’t help itself and depict the rebel group as just a bunch of cringe hippies.
¡Hola, gente! ¿Cómo están?
Are you guys ready for 2026?
I think my life will be better. I will take lessons I learned from 2025 to the new year
Wishing the best to you for 2026. Don’t forget to share some of the wisdom with us :)
I think the last time I was ready for a new year was like 2008 or 9.
The last time I was excited was 2019 because that year was awesome for me. I really felt that 2020 was going to be even better.
And then Covid hit lol
That feel is real. I thought 2020 would be a belter, I was pretty excited for the Olympics and the year just had a great sense of optimism. That was shattered pretty quickly.
Understood your not allowed to feel optimism for a year or else bad things happen… um how are you feeling about 2026
Hmmm I dont know how to devine from this lol
I"m recharged from taking a break from my life due to an injury a couple months ago, but time to lock in and be the best comrade i can be!
That’s the spirit! 💪
I’ll be taking part in at least 1 clinical trial for depression. I’m hopeful. Depression sucks and none of the antidepressants that I’ve tried work.
I heard treatment-resistant depression is particularly nasty. Wishing the best for you!

¡Prospero año nuevo!
It’s the time of the year in which you cannot throw anything away outside in The Netherlands because all the garbage bins have been barricaded by steel, otherwise they would be blown up by
domestic terroristsfirework enjoyers.Let’s see how many people will lose their hands and eyes, how many bus stops will explode and how many first responders will be attacked. Tradition.
Given the prevalence of rightwing and Christian nationalist terrorism in the United States?
…Yeah.
Wait people do what with the recreational explosives that so many places in the world think its just fine to let people use?
ikr
Netherlands is a fake country, ngl
I agree, we need to be returned to the swamp
I would welcome mystical swamp life. Beats being stuck on the A2.
