  • That's really interesting, thank you.

    I guess when you're seriously inbred like the royal families of Europe, the risk of recessive genetic disorders manifesting is far higher.

  • Property developers well never, not in a million years, build enough new housing to make their industry significantly less profitable.

    The only solution is local government building social housing and being as good landlord at low prices. Good luck with that, America!

  • In fact, you asserted "he's not wrong". He was wrong.

  • Black people voted for trump even harder. He’s not wrong though?

    Whether grossly misunderstanding, grossly misrepresenting or grossly misinterpreting the data, I don't know, but I think "wrong" is far more descriptive here than "not wrong".

    Black people voted for trump the least of any ethnic group, by far, at 15%. Asian people 40%, Hispanic people 48% and White people 55%. "Even harder" is bullshit.

  • Admit! Better to admit you were wrong. Now I was wrong too! Noooooo!

  • Why? What's in the files?

  • Yes, yes, EXACTLY the same, just like you said.

  • Yeah, it's just your bog standard destroy the constitution, crash the economy, betray the allies, suck up to the dictators, rape the children, grab 'em by the pussy, suspend the right to trial, presidential personal thug army in masks abducting the less pale citizens, suspension of the right to trial, concrete over Gaza to make a theme park investment opportunity, armed insurrection storming the Capitol, defiance of budget rules, starve the poor, mass disenfranchisement of black districts, classified documents to russia 44 times felony presidency.

    Absolutely standard. Just like the dems always do. Both sides, both sides. They're the same picture. Absolutely nothing to see here, situation normal. Biden kissed a girls hair, so it's exactly the same.

  • It's not on opinion, it's just how grammar works in English.

    Also, hot news! Some people are capable of authoring content without an LLM!

    Maybe try it sometime.

    Also consider whether you might come across as defending pedophiles before you argue too long and too hard over how a headline criticising their child sex abuse is unfair because of some technicality that neither excuses the abuse nor is actually claimed by the headline.

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

  • Ah good, thank you.

    Seriously fucked up shit going on in supposedly civilised European countries. Wow.

  • Sounds like you still don't understand and it's making you cross. I'll explain.

    Devastating Report Details How Underage Homeless Girl...

    The girl is the subject in the sentence. The sentence is about what she did.

    Allegedly Had Sex With Matt Gaetz

    Matt Gaetz is the object of the sentence. He is who she did it with.

    For Money to Buy Braces

    And this says why she did it. NOT why he did it.

    So the headline was accurate because that's exactly what she alleges. Getting all hissy about how he might have had no idea she needed braces is silly because no claim about that was made.

    Spending all day objecting to the wording of the headline, in particular objecting that Matt Gaetz might not have known she was underage made you come across as defending a rich and powerful pedo offender, which, as I said, is not a good look for you.

    A middle aged man having sex with a teenager for money and buying her drugs is starkly immoral even if he claims he didn't know she was underaged.

    Calling her "barely legal" as you did, when she was not "legal" suggests you're watching the wrong kind of porn and you think that stuff is fine and take the porn site's word that it's legal despite them warning you that it's on the fringe.

    Maybe you has a more intelligent point to make, but "you're a moron" didn't communicate it very effectively.

    Please don't use imgur. They're in the rapid enshittification stage. You could upload direct to your instance or use another site.

  • Your only remaining reason to pointlessly criticise the headline is that you missed the distinction between the role of subject and object in a sentence? What a hill to die on!

  • The headline:

    Devastating Report Details How Underage Homeless Girl Allegedly Had Sex With Matt Gaetz For Money to Buy Braces

    She was literally underage. She needed money for braces. It's not a misleading headline AT ALL and wanting to put nuance on a headline about a guy treating a child like a prostitute is not a good look for you.

  • We actively encourage and enable enshittification when we stick with a big dominant player like imgur when they conspicuously start enshittification by deleting older content that doesn't have a paid subscription and geoblocking countries that fine them for selling user area including users marked as age band children to advertisers. A simple filter would have done the trick. Geoblocking is actually harder to implement.

    Other image host platforms exist and if we don't jump ship when the larger ones enshittify, we'll be left with no free image hosts and you'll end up on your instance anyway.

    At this point it's not any worse or harder to just link to the original image, instead of rehosting on a corporation actively punishing its users for not having a paid subscriptions and punishing whole countries for sayng they shouldn't sell the browsing habits of children to advertisers and other interested parties.

    Imgur are corpocrap. Host on lemmy instead.

    Why go to all this effort for a worse experience for other people?
