Imagine going on a cruise to escape politics but the only reason anyone is on the cruise is to also escape politics so you're surrounded by a bunch of Jeff Tiedrich mega fans for 4 years with no escape

[–] someone@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

Imagine going on such a cruise with your ML reading group and scaring the fuck out of the liberal passengers who are unable to escape you.

Oh so this is just an adaptation of Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit

curry-space "I'm escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by Trump! The Sea!"

Struggling to find the words here

So cruises, a microcosm of environmental destruction and consumerist excess, are offering an opportunity to escape the results of continued consumerism and environmental destruction

Hmm

They're probably emboldened by the fact that they contributed to the climate change that's melting all the icebergs.

Though wise Poseidon has other methods of swallowing the rich who completely lack hubris.

Succinct.

Or touche as Stan Kelly would say of yer analysis...

I heap a lot of contempt on people who completely miss the point of Starship Troopers, but that's nothing compared to the people whose take away from WALL-E is to dream of boarding The Axiom...

[–] ItsPequod@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Fuck, this needs to be a tagline

[–] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Honestly, I support them all boarding some Axiom or other spaceship/pleasure cruiser. ~~Puts them all in the right place for a nice ICBM or a dozen~~

Imagine going on this and coming back to find out that like Israel's been nuked and egypt has reformed itself into the neo-ayyubid sultanate somehow in the time you were gone

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Let alone a 4-year cruise. Like, I have a feeling that the conditions on board may enthropy, due to capitalist mismanagement, to the point the cruise stay seems more like a nightmare... then again, no one's stopped falling for buying Tesla cars

It'll wind up as that flying party from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where it terrorizes the outside world by occasionally stopping for wine and cheese raids

Albania bunkers but they are overpriced food trucks and cabanas to absorb the waves of Party Libs hoxha-turt

Yeah, I know it from physics and chemistry. I was confused by your usage.

Entropy is a noun, so you would say something like "these conditions would cause the entropy of the situation to increase" (although that sounds clunky).

Edit: LMK if this is actually helping or if I'm being a pedantic ass.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

honestly if you wanna spontaneously just turn a word like entropy into a verb by putting an h in it, that should be allowed.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm trying to think of what the actual affix would be, and my best answer is genuinely "enentropy"

[–] GiorgioBoymoder@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

that would be a prefix but yeah.

maybe entrope, entropate, entropize

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

that would be a prefix but yeah.

Prefixes are a type of affix, along with suffixes (and infixes, and circumfixes, though English doesn't have those)

Is change dot org still a thing?

[–] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

The people on the cruise will mostly deserve it, so I have no issues... all aboard! lea-happy woot woot

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

It's a self-sustaining business model for the cruise company, I'll give them that.

[–] Blockocheese@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could save multiple people's lives in Gaza with that kind of money

Sadly, we all know the U.SS entity has goals contrare to that... hitler-detector

I hear the Red Sea is great this time of year.

Get them near the orcas so they can learn how to sink ships as well

[–] Hexamerous@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aren't those cruise ships burning through like a million cars worth of gas ever day?

Triangle of Sadness sequel sounding lit

[–] SwitchyWitchyandBitchy@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

$160k :o Being stuck on a boat with a bunch of rich Liberals for 4 years sounds like torture.

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which is the best thing you can do to a bunch of liberals

I have no wish to torture anybody but also if they decide on their own accord ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In a world..

Where a new bird flu has ravaged humanity, the last vestige of civilized humanity is a bunch of brunch liberals who took a cruise at an extraordinarily lucky time. How long till their cruise ship politics turns fascist?

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The good thing, though, is if disaster strikes the ship and the wine cave libs end up in a Gilligan's Island situation, they'll be dead in a couple weeks because none of them have any skills besides being professional managers. They're just gonna delegate foraging food to other people and establishing a pecking order (with surviving crew at the bottom, obviously) until they just get thrown into the ocean.

[–] a_little_red_rat@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Or we could get a Triangle of Sadness scenario where the crew takes over by being the only ones with survival skills, and bullies the rich libs into submission

[–] William_Nilliam@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

if they get stuck on an island they would immediately start sabotaging each other and in the spirit of civility start voting people off the island just like those badass shows on their television

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, this seems like another Titan situation

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

it's a fyre festival titan sub crossover episode!

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

I would pay money for a liberal Webcam on that ship to watch libs melt down when they don't have wifi to watch Colbert after 36 hours.

[–] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

"Pardon me, folks - I just need to step outside of politics for a bit!"

[–] Big_Bob@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I'm betting it will end up like Ghost Ship.

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

4 years? I guess Trump's death camps will be ready by then.
