  • It reminds me of the aftermath of the East Palestine, Ohio spill. After Norfolk Southern set that shit on fire and the subsequent bloom of dark smoke was recorded from above, bursting through cloudcover, the fAcT cHeCkErS started running articles about how the 'viral video of a plume of smoke' was fake

    What they meant was, "We 'found' one account posting a video misattributed to that specific spill so that we can post this headline"

  • I know it was before August 2022 since I was here by then, but nothing more specific

  • It was before my time, but as far as I've heard the fight was centered around "I love my trans comrades" posts in particular

  • And they're still with us to this day, posting stuff that blurs the line between shitposting and trolling until their account is banned

    Again, and again, and again like Sisyphus

  • I have good taste. See? Here's another

  • I'd only known her from America's Got Talent, but the more I skim her wikipedia page the more she sounds like a cartoon rich English person

    In 2004, Osbourne's home in Jordans, Buckinghamshire, was burgled by a man who stole gems worth £2 million. The burglar managed to get away with the gems despite being put in a headlock by Ozzy. Items taken during the burglary included wedding rings, an engagement ring, pearl and diamond necklaces, a large 52 carat (10g) sapphire ring and two pairs of diamond earrings. After the incident, Osbourne appeared on Crimewatch and offered a reward of £100,000 for the return of her valuable jewellery

  • Yeah, he was a guy with a cool name who went on an adventure!

    Our curriculum was pretty heavy-handed with its White Man's Burden narrative. I was extremely not-based about a lot of things at the time, but I think my stance was "Even if they did practice human sacrifice, a claim I don't trust because I'm hearing it from the conquerors, the conquistadors clearly made things worse." Iirc my brother's stance was that it counted as an improvement to stop the sacrifices (yes, even by killing them) and even moreso to bring the Good Word to them

  • I was homeschooled with A Beka Books-brand Christian curriculum, and it handled the subject the same way. From what I remember, it was posed as an open-ended "Was this acceptable to do?"

    My only classmate was my brother, but I do remember fighting with him about whether or not the Conquistadors were a force for good. He only got worse, too. I went no-contact with him after a certain point

  • Go on then, dismiss me with your hexbear memes and be gone.

    So pouty

  • There are two types of Langley vermin laptop - Windows XP with that special arrangement where they keep providing security updates, and default Kali

  • Despite the McDonald’s closure, fans can still grab their favorites at other locations in Latham. Advertisement

    Plus, there is another on Wolf Road, one on Central Avenue, and one on Osborne Road

    is this news?

  • I think I started around a 3 and made my way to 1 by using it all the time for depressive escapism. 3/10 experience, better than nothing - still not very effective

    Fun to have, though.

  • You can probably strengthen that with practice if you want. That's how it worked for me

  • Do you understand the difference between an unused housing unit and an in-use one?

  • So in the moral system you're proposing, it would be an offense to use those buildings without their owner's permission. The fact that people denied access to those buildings will die as a result, though, is just a part of nature

    So, why would you expect a perspective which values property more than people to stir anyone's moral feeling? If you don't expect that, then why are you bothering to frame it in terms of right and wrong?

  • Just to compare, what's your moral read on all the people we deny housing to, who regularly die of exposure while empty housing units outnumber them?

  • This is unfortunately perfectly in line with a big chunk of the US. There's a whole branch of theology in the James Dobson vein that dominates the US, which holds that disobedience is a sin and that the only "loving" response is physical punishment until the disobedience stops in order to save their soul
