  • Thanks for letting us know that your conviction is just performative shoe-pissing.

  • Okay, in do-or-die wartime I can accept some suppression of the truth.

    If you genuinely believe the situation in the US is so bad and analogous to wartime that it's worth spreading and supporting lies for the sake of "winning" then you need to stop wasting your time commenting on nottheonion posts and go figure out how to win. At the very least don't waste time talking to people like me who spend time on truth, set up an automated posting farm and flood the entire internet with anti-Trump propaganda with no attention wasted on what's true or otherwise ethical or moral.

    If it's not that bad and you can afford to piss away time here then you can still afford the truth.

    Pick a consistent position and take actions that align with whatever you pick, but don't try to have your cake and eat it too, it just comes across as hypocrisy to the rest of us. I hope to either see you around or not see you for a few years -- and nothing in-between.

  • The short paragraphs thing predates smartphones and the collapse of print newspapers (here's a paper from 1996 that does it), so fwiw I don't think it's that. I assume it's some sort of stylistic / presentation thing that's just normalized in news reporting. Maybe it's an outdated holdover from print media somehow (where presumably more spacing = more expensive, so it presumably wasn't a financial motivation) but I think orgs would've moved on by now if it was purely done for unnecessary legacy reasons.

  • Accepting whatever makes "the other side" look bad instead of fighting for the truth is the reason we're in this thread talking about that dipshit [Trump]. I'm not sure I'll ever understand why the fuck people in this thread fighting against that so hard

  • Trump is a convicted felon, promoted beans at the resolute desk, received millions of dollars in inauguration fundraising from big tech, has his own cryptocurrency which he promoted by promising presidential access, and is being called a madman by economists for the least stable US economic policy since Bretton Woods.

    Trump is not like "other country leaders". Historically the above would be disqualifying for "other country leaders". You can't cover news about him like "other country leaders". I almost can't believe that you're saying that you can.

  • Yes, but the implication of "given the medal to look at" and "pocketing FIFA medal" is that Trump "stole" it or wasn't supposed to keep it, which I haven't seen supported by a credible source yet.

    Edit: regarding your own edit (adding the second image), I found no information at the linked source supporting the sentence as presented.

  • Nonetheless, it's pretty common for news sources.

    E.g.:

    All use this style of paragraphs. It's not universal but I'm surprised that it's surprising anybody!

  • I have linked a video showing what actually happened, linked a verified signatory of the International Fact Checking Network and member of the European Fact-Checking Standards Network saying that it was given to him and that the submitted headline is misleading, and your response is "don't be naive".

    Are you guys fucking for real? What the fuck even counts as credible evidence to you anymore!?

  • If you have credible evidence saying it was only gifted retroactively, please link it. The video evidence does not appear support that interpretation of events.

  • Some related reading from The Conversation that I liked when I was doing exploratory background reading for some related uni work a few months back:

    I thought it was particularly funny how the first of these articles is saying that it is/was a good time to try for a carbon tax again and that the alternatives are essentially inadequate, while the second one says:

    [...] Importantly, they found most emissions reduction relied on a mix of policies. The results point to a way forward for Australia, where an economy-wide carbon price is currently politically impossible.

    I don't think I made use of that juxtaposition in my assignment but now I can use it to write a comment which four people will read :'D

    Whether the author of article 1 is right (it's close to a silver bullet policy and is politically feasible) or whether the author of article 2 is right (it's both not a silver bullet and politically impossible) I don't know.

  • Huh. Well this went from "something to look into next week" to "Oops, it's finished already".

    Hah, I was much the same. I went to check on it last night / early this morning and realized I had straight up missed the whole thing.

    Looks like there wasn't much interest this year.

    I wonder how much of this is less activity in threadiverse in general vs less interest (or less promotion of?) Canvas this year. As a random data point, last year I remember seeing Canvas promoted several times in my feed leading up to the event, but I think this year I only saw it here and maybe once in !fediverse@lemmy.world.
