I’m not a knower. Context?
The CIA secretly discovered and then raised from the seabed fragments of a lost soviet submarine in the 60s, in order to obtain soviet nuclear secrets and warheads. Some bodies were recovered with the wreckage.
Even though it was a super secret operation and the middle of the cold war, the CIA put together a respectful and moving funeral ceremony for the soviet submariners onboard the recovery ship, and they were then buried at sea. The ceremony was filmed and later, after it was declassified, the ceremony was shared with the soviet leadership and the known families of the submariners.
How was a cold war CIA agent that classy?
Don’t know, but one of them decided that lobotomys were a step to far for them to combat communism.
Could be a double agent.
With the CIA, I don’t know if your can ever really be too paranoid. The could war was wild.
People are people. We just always demonize the ones we disagree with. But it’s that demonization of others that makes people commit true evil acts

A lot of people died with the Titanic sank. Big sad.
Dude, pay attention.
Yeah, people don’t get jokes.
It’s not even why people cry when watching titanic. It’s because a couple gets separated. But honestly if I were to cry it would be for the orchestra
I heard the ending of “Titanic” was very sad. But then, Leonardo DiCaprio dies and we got a happy ending after all!
Wait. Did you watch it in a massage parlor?
Girl boring guy quirky.
Blame the meme, not the memer.
When you’re in a shitty naval ensign competition and the opponent is the USSR (you just brought your regular flag)
Just to clarify, the US Naval Ensign, while technically distinct, is in fact fully identical to the “standard” national flag.
Exactly, but that was the joke. That, and the USSR one being ugly as hell
Boys good! Girls yucky!
Seriously, what are you? 12?
While taking memes seriously is clearly a sign of maturity
Burrrrn. Lol
Yeah, okay. At least I’m not the one making unfunny jokes that a 12-year-old would make.
Why do you think girls are yucky?
I don’t. I was making fun of this post.
It is using the age-old “girls vs boys” trope, and therefore juvenile.
But I don’t think girls are yucky either, on the contrary I’m actually a huge fan. I’m not sure I understand what you’re getting at.
The point that the meme template you’re using is sexist, as it implies that women are shallow and care about “dumb” things, like romantic movies, while men are cool and care about “smart” topics like history and politics.
Completely disagree, you’re thinking of the one that’s about girls VS boys with a time machine
I disagree. I think the point of this format is showing how we are emotional about different stuff. Most women and men are touched by different things, and this meme has been a way of saying “do you all guys also get emotional when thinking about this” often depicting absurd stuff but it’s fun when we guys find out we are the same. And the less sense it makes the funnier. If we are talking about being men it’s because it’s the most common trait between individuals in this community
Thats quite CIS-gendered of you. Im not sure if Lemmy is the apropriate place for your heteronormative microaggression
Yeah, that’s not what cisgender or any variant thereof means.
Also, we’re describing a stereotype, not saying it’s true. Don’t shift blame or topic.
Which stereotypes are you describing?
