Anthony Bourdain DID commit suicide.

I don't know who I'd rather have a beer with, Bourdain or Obama.

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Well, only one of em is alive, so that narrows the field dramatically I'd say.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 17 hours ago

Yeah, that's kind of my quandary. If they were both alive, I probably wouldn't feel quite as strongly about Bourdain. Heck, I barely knew anything about him other than watching some of his stuff before he passed. I'd love to ask a bunch of questions about the current political landscape and a previous successful democratic president, but it's not like I'd get the time of day from them for more than an autograph or a selfie.

Vanishingly close to letting AI fill in the gaps and running with this as is.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Looks like that’s from Threads. A real shithole of right wing trolls, paid and just plain stupid. Deleted my account.

Guys, we're at war. That's what all this fucking nonsense is about. We didn't find a pedophile. We found a structure. We are all civilian casualties of a post-mutual destruction psychological, narcotic - pick the front war. From the red hats making you assume you know what your neighbor thinks without asking, to the fentanyl from Chinese precursors to the "dating" apps full of scammers, we're looking at the results of infiltration. Guarantee the list has been destroyed.

Let's waterboard Trump.

Yes. Look for "WWF: REMIX! Fuck Animals!"

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Let’s waterboard Trump.

Go for it. Nobody's stopping you, right?

[–] Asswardbackaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Interconnectedness and patriotism are the points. Or are you trying to make me feel powerless like you feel?

Edit: Sorry, guys. I'm trying to improve here. I'm going to rephrase that to "trying to make me feel powerless like you MAY feel".

I don't know you or your situation or how you feel, because I haven't asked.

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Not the point but does the tweet's OP not know the word Vietnam? Why always clump huge regions together like the individual countries don't matter?

[–] rezifon@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

"Vietnam" is not widely known for sex tourism, but "Southeast Asia" is coded. "Sex Tourism in Southeast Asia" is a familiar term in American English and the image caption is tailored to leverage that association. This image was created to be misinformation and the creator chose the phrasing to increase the image's impact.

It's a severe cause of 'muricanism. They can't even find Mexico or Canada in a world map

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Mexico is right there off the Gulf of America

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

If they didn’t know where the original image was from that’s a decent guess. The only obvious signifier is the words on the wall and I’m happy to excuse them not knowing what Veitnamese looks like from that.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Fuck, I miss Anthony Bourdain, the world has a severe lack of genuinely awesome, nice, caring, charismatic assholes.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 4 points 21 hours ago

We miss you Anthony!

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

Too many fall pretty to Fuckitol® in its various forms. 🥲 He was a major inspiration to me, in coming and in life. (and a surprise visitor at a humble cart I ran, back in the pre-Voodoo days, but I froze up.😱)

[–] tux7350@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

I mean he killed himself while sober. Some people will go through struggles that you and I will never understand. Maybe we could have a little compassion?

I am surprised Trump hasn't still made AI photos of Obama and Epstein tho

[–] perishthethought@piefed.social 78 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (9 children)

I just now realized... T**** hates Obama because Barack was naturally cool, in a way the felon in chief will never be.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Barack was naturally cool, in a way the felon in chief will never be.

It was so cool, the way Barry turned a blind eye to a decade of financial crimes while overseeing the automation of the Pentagon's mass surveillance and automated their preferred tools for repression and assassination overseas. I loved how he prosecuted whistleblowers all casual and sexy, kept the torture prison in Cuba open indefinitely, and unleashed the FBI on the largest movement of black civil rights activists since the 1960s.

Trump will never be as suave or as sexy while committing war crimes, suppressing domestic dissent, or papering over the horrors of the plutocracy. I ❤️ You Obama!

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 41 points 1 day ago

Also Trump's racist.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 23 points 1 day ago

trump and his father have a special hatred for black people in general.

And now I am stuck with the knowledge that Anthony Bourdain does kinda look like Epstein.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know, pulling a sheet of images of both side by side. Other than hair color and some age wrinkles, I'm not really seeing it.

I think showing a picture of a celebrity right now with a middle-aged greying man with disheveled hair just predisposes us to seeing him.

Here I found two pictures of them with almost the same exact expression. The ears and nonses are wildly different, the chins both have divits, but are shaped differently.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I mean in a picture with 12 pixels, they look alike enough.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 12 hours ago

yah, at first glance i didn't question it either :)

[–] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 227 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think that's probably why this is posted in a memes community

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 88 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 18 hours ago

I have to opinion, that it would have been way funnier, if this meme had a punchline leading to the source video from HBO, maybe even with a rickroll in the mix 🤔

Where does the inability to scratch Jell-O reside in the mohs scale?

That table is immortallized with a photo of the two of them sat at it framed above it.

Man, it still hurts that he's gone. My first introduction to Bourdain was in No Reservations, and after not getting enough of his wit and love of all things culinary and people (because of too much time between seasons), I picked up Kitchen Confidential and was instantly hearing his voice in my head as I read.

Depression is a motherfucker.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It's only a matter of time before pictures of Epstein surface, partying with Karl Marx himself. Then the evil commie Democrats will be forced to support President Trump!
