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

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 5 points 6 days ago

We miss you Anthony!

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days 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.😱)

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?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

Idk i've talked to wait staff who said when he visited their restaurant he'd had some girl jack him off under the table. Kinda a gross guy but he was an interesting media presence.

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

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days 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.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

Pick Bourdain. Obama would drone strike your family.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 77 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days 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 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

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

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

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 40 points 6 days ago

Also Trump's racist.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 21 points 6 days ago

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days 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!

Genuine question: why is this something so many people latch onto? He has done and is doing actually horrible things. Who cares if he needs adult diapers? He's old, a lot of old people need them, along with other people with other issues.

My rights are being eroded, I do not care about his diapers.

[–] 5too@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

I think mostly because Trump would care, as would a lot of his followers. That makes it an effective attack, even if it shouldn't be.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Because he already did horrible things for 4-8 years and literally nobody gave a single fuck - nothing ever happened, no consequences were ever met, and it's clear that people don't actually care about those things. So we focus on him being weird and dirty, which right-wing weirdos oddly actually do seem to care about.

They're both losing strategies, to be clear. You don't peacefully get out from under fascist government.

[–] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 6 days ago

The problem is that people who need diapers are generally too old to see that the world is not as it was 25 years ago..

Such old folks are just too obsessed in trying to turn back time.

[–] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 days ago

And look at that ass 🫢 truly Americans ass, as if he was captain America in disguise 🫢🫢

[–] Asswardbackaddict@lemmy.world 40 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Let’s waterboard Trump.

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

[–] Asswardbackaddict@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days 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.

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

Agree

Let's waterboard Trump.

No, he's chosen to end this hell

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days 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 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days 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.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Mexico is right there off the Gulf of America

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days 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.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

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

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 8 points 5 days ago

Anthony Bourdain DID commit suicide.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

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

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

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Is that the well know Anthony Bordepstein? I thought he hated white tiles.
