I do not recommend it. Firstly, it's not a Disney movie. It was made by a white South African in South Africa during apartheid.

A lot of it is just made up and some of it is clearly animal abuse. There's no question that a weaver bird nest was set on fire for the movie.

The elephant thing isn't even true. It's staged with creative editing.

for the lamb stew known as tu'hu, first you get water. Then you sear leg meat in fat. In go salt, beer, onion, rocket, coriander, Persian shallot, cumin, beets, water. Crushed leek and garlic and more coriander, for a fiery taste. Then add kurrat, an Egyptian leek.

 

The love scene in question:

At this, Eliza and Ezra rolled together into one giggling snowball of full-figured copulation, screaming and shouting as they playfully bit and pulled at each other in a dangerous and clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation with Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra’s howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it whacked and smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza’s body except for the otherwise central zone.

It could be worse...

Ferret-legging was an endurance test or stunt in which ferrets were trapped in trousers worn by a participant. Also known as put 'em down[2] and ferret-down-trousers,[3] it seems to have been popular among coal miners in Yorkshire, England. Contestants put live ferrets inside their trousers; the winner is the one who is the last to release the animals.

(No, this isn't a medieval thing, it originated in the 1970s.)

 

The Nissan Cube annoyed me enough at it was.

What is the age cutoff before you start being elderly?

It was not immediately clear whether the stabbing had any link to the unrest.

But please: do riot over it, angry white conservatives. It's probably an immigrant and even if it isn't they probably have immigrant blood in them at some point. Those Celts were a real problem back in the bronze age.

Understanding the point of view of a Hexbear user and thinking the way it's presented is ridiculously aggressive and full of people who come across as they have no joy in their life and live to be angry is a good way to present that point of view are two different things.

This is not about your point of view no matter how much you try to make it about that.

You never asked me if I changed my belief. You decided I still hold it when you said, and I quote:

FlyingSquid believes that your internet browsing history should be made public if you are running for any political position. Worst take of all time.

Then again, I'm not the Flying Squid expert here.

What exactly do I need this luck for? Pointing out other needlessly aggressive Hexbear users?

I don't disagree with you at all that Israel has definitely fanned the flames of antisemitism, but having been on the receiving end from people who even like Israel (many evangelicals Christians want people like me forcibly exiled to Israel so Jesus can come back), it's not just Israel.

People hate Jews for all sorts of reasons. A lot of evangelicals hate me because my ancestors apparently killed Jesus, even though it was the Romans, and that's my fault. People like Elon Musk and his ilk hate me because I apparently control the banks and Hollywood. People like Nick Fuentes hate me because Hitler hated people like me and he loves Hitler. I'm sure some people hate me just because I'm slightly different from them.

And I don't mean to restrict this to just Jews. What I saw happen to my Muslim brothers and sisters after 9/11 was disgusting, and even these days you have people essentially claiming all Muslims are terrorists. And both Jews and Muslims in America are essentially considered foreigners in our own country. I'm from Indiana, but that doesn't matter even though I guarantee you that I have more in common with a Palestinian American born in Montana than either of us have with a Jew in Israel or a Muslim in Palestine.

There is so much hate in this world.

No. I really can't see how I'm part of a love fest for someone I'm not talking about, but I am talking about you.

I guess you're having a love fest for Pol Pot right now since you're talking about me and not Pol Pot.

Got it. Only crash authorized helicopters into hotels.

Absolutely. He's not an idiot. He knows he's asking the impossible when he says shit like this.

Your point is that I'm part of a love-fest for Tim Walz by not talking about Tim Walz? Holy fuck, almost 8 billion people love Tim Walz!
