Ever since I learned about the Dubai porta-potty I lost what little respect I had for influencers traveling to Dubai.

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

Just looked it up.

These are soulless monsters who can have literally everything but since nothing satisfies them anymore they wish to hurt and degrade others for the thrill of it.

[–] wieson@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

I thought we were talking about the fact that Dubai doesn't have a functioning sewage system and has to get the shite out via lorry.

But this is on a whole nother level.

Dubai porta-potty

I looked this up and between this and the Epstein Island stuff ... like is regular sex just not enough for people?

Also, why can't filthy rich people use their money to help others ...

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Because the kind of brain that thinks "I deserve all this money" is broken, and not even close to resembling the brain that thinks "I should use the extra money I have to help others"

The two things are incompatible. Shit, I wouldn't even feel comfortable showing my face to employees who don't earn close to what I take. I'd be too ashamed that I'm essentially stealing from them since I'm not doing to work of 20 people (let alone 150,000) by myself.

The brain that doesn't have that shame doesn't even think about others, unless it's in the context of "how can I exploit this"

By divine right it’s theirs. That’s just how it is. They’re winners, there has to be losers, sucks to be you.

They really don’t invest much thought into it. They can’t.

But Elon Musk is going to pay the TSA himself. 🍆🍆🍆

[–] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

I think part of the problem is that the brain is never content with what it has. It becomes the new normal instead of luxuries.

Think about the a man, sleeping with beautiful women all the time - either escorts or gold diggers.

It becomes the new normal. He wants more. In what direction this want will go probably differs from person to person. There will be excess, perversion, cruelty, until that is the new normal. Getting more and more depraved. Limited only by that persons conscience and what he can get away with.

And for a sociopath and billionaire? There are are no limits, no crime he can't commit, no foul act he won't try. Torture. Children. Murder. Cannibalism. These people have been above the law for too long.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Because they are sociopaths. You and I would never get to the status of filthy rich because we would start giving money away before that.

It isn't just the sex. It is a power thing.

[–] seejur@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

They are basically the dark eldars of our time

[–] gh0stb4tz@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Now I’m curious, but I don’t want to look it up.

[–] searabbit@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's exactly what you're imagining, yes, even that.

Smells bad because the chemicals can't keep up with the heat?

Dang. Gross.

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm still unclear if this is a real thing or an urban legend. Sure prostitution is one of the main economic activities in Dubai, and I'm sure many cater to very specific fetishes. But is it like a real thing that happens regularly?

Oh look. The mega wealthy brutalizing people when they calculate they can get away with it.

Who could have guessed that was a universal trait

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

Ukrainian, invited to a party of rich Russians.

Not victim blaming as she for sure didn't deserve to have the shit beaten out of her but wtf?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

There is no war in Dubai Sing Se

[–] tackleberry@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You do realise a number of these Arab family monarchial figures are criminally indicted in the Epstein case

Yes, and they, not the enslaved migrant workers, should be subject to the drone boomers.

And by boomers I mean the flying things that go ka-boom on impact.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As someone who grew up in Dubai you have no idea how much schadenfreude I am feeling right now!

[–] Beep@lemmus.org 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

In case someone does not know what does the word mean.

Schadenfreude: The experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of the troubles, failures, pain, suffering, or humiliation of another. Schadenfreude is a loanword from German. The closest word in English would be gloat. Schadenfreude has been detected in children as young as 24 months and may be an important social emotion establishing "inequity aversion".

[–] RustyShackleford@programming.dev 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The Dutch word for it is "leedvermaak", incidentally.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

God I love Dutch.

You look at it, and you think, if I stare at this long enough, I can make it out. Most of the words are about the same size, and there has to be some Latin bases here and there...

nope...

Hehe, I'm married to a Dutch woman. I'm am American of non-European descent, for context.

I speak Gujarati and Spanish and a smidge of Hindi and Japanese, other than English. She speaks Dutch, Danish, German, and English.

When I moved to the Netherlands, I told her "We both know something about languages. I have to say this: speaking Dutch is like trying speaking German while spitting out your teeth after someone punched you in the mouth."

She answered back, and I'm paraphrasing, "Tja, het is wel toepasselijk dat "Dutch Directness" het eerste is wat jij onder de knie hebt, jij Amerikaanse betweter."

"Schat, dat is wel het meest diplomatieke wat ik vandaag had kunnen zeggen, gezien de daden van de VOC in het land van mijn voorouders."

"Touché!"

"Jazeker!"

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Leedvermaak: the experience of joy or satisfaction at someone else's pain or displeasure, but whilst standing on/near a dike/dam/floodgate.

[–] RustyShackleford@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Precies. Ik vind het heerlijke.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh, I've never seen a picture of Violet08

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think you will. It's possible she's not even a woman. Or it's very possible that she looks nowhere near how she proclaims to look. Either way it's a fun account to watch.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Personally I choose to believe violet08 is a robotic cat, and simply pretending to be a woman in hornyposting mode because they enjoy trolling.

nah i say violet08 is a hyperintelligent octopus at an aquarium sneaking out of her tank to hornypost at us when the aquarium wardens aren't looking

[–] Beep@lemmus.org 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's not a picture.

This is a GIF.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[–] Whimsical418@aussie.zone 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF...) is a bitmap image format...

Hmmm... I guess its an image, but not a picture 🤔

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Pronounced "if" the g is silent.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Real gifs move in silence like lasagna.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

It's an image, with extra steps.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is several pictures. I saw them all. A guy came up to me, big guy, strong guy, tears in his eyes, and says "Sir, I've never seen all the pictures in the GIF. I'm glad you saw them for me." I'm a super picture-seer, the likes of which have never been seen before. I refer to every frame of the GIF as a picture because I'm also a four-dimensional time god.
