  • "When the first officer arrived on scene, several community members pointed him toward a nearby home reporting that children were inside, and somebody was shooting. The officer approached the open front door and reported seeing a struggle. He yelled at the men to show their hands, but neither fully complied. This is when the officer-involved shooting took place," the department said.

    Notice the change to passive voice. "The officer arrived", "community members pointed", "somebody was shooting", "the officer approached", "he yelled".

    Then just "the officer-involved shooting took place".

    That type of corporate whitewashing of language pisses me off so much. The shooting did not take place. The officer shot the victim.

  • Dammit I miss the Herman Cain Awards. It was morbid as hell, but there was always fun reading:

    • "COVID is a hoax. Let's Go Brandon!"
    • "I think I have the flu"
    • "Doctor confirmed it's COVID. I'm putting candy corn up my asshole"
    • "This COVID ain't no joke"
    • "MAGA-Patriot-88 has passed away. Please send prayers that their sugary asshole will make it to heaven."
  • But did he even say "thank you"?

  • Yeah everyone really rallies around a president when the country is attached. Can't help but feel like it's why Trump is picking fights constantly. I'm sure he would love nothing more than to have Iran or another country to kill some US civilians.

  • Kind of refreshing to see Trump is the only president to never have a positive approval rating.

  • Fucking groooooooooooossss

  • Are rugby players known for being articulate? TIL

  • Yeah my biggest regret is that I know my personality of hardly ever completely cashing out of anything. If I ever trade stock options and have a call up big, I'll usually sell part of it and hold the rest till expiration.

  • Wow that guy was really well spoken.

  • In 2012, one of my friends in Colorado had a Bitcoin mining rig that was making $200 worth of Bitcoin a month. But he was moving to California where energy prices were higher, so he offered to sell me the whole thing. He wanted just over $1,000 for it, which was too rich for my blood. At the time I thought "it might break even in 5 months, or it could start losing money if prices go down or if Bitcoin gets harder to mine. Too risky."

    I think Bitcoin was around $5 a piece at the time, so it would have been putting out 40 coins a month. Now logically I know that had I bought that mining rig from him, I certainly wouldn't have held everything it made and waited to sell until Bitcoin peaked. But every once in a while, like right now, I do the math and realize that thing was pumping out $13,731,278 a month at today's prices and just fucking hate my life.

  • Yeah their news articles try not to be as blatantly pure propaganda as their TV programming, but they still omit a lot of information to subtlety frame stories in their favor.

  • This should honestly be a news story in itself. Absolutely no possible justification for redacting the word "don't". No human would have made that redaction. This had to have been done in an automated fashion, specifically to react references to Trump.

  • Many assumed after the “South Park” Season 27 premiere aired that its entire climactic sequence was created using AI. The new BTS images, however, reveal that not only was it practically filmed, but the micropenis featured in it was really Parker’s finger.

    Haha that's a great pic

  • Dammit this is so true. With us, it's chips. My teenage son poured himself almost an entire bag of Doritos into a bowl the other day. But them sometimes I notice our pantry is overflowing with bags of chips because everyone has magically decided they don't eat chips now.

  • I'm glad you provided a serious answer, because I thought the bottom picture was just a joke and not a reference to an actual person or thing that had happened.

  • The dude that took that email was on his work computer at Harvard! Fucking wild.
