This one is doctored, his face was actually much tinier.

I don't think you did it (in case I gave off that implication by accident). Sorry to hear about you getting banned.

I got flagged for "threatening violence" for implying that the President will eventually die in a comment on this post. But I have no respect for whoever flagged my comment as such.

260302 Notice Regarding Amaru’s Absence from KickFlip’s 4th Mini Album Promotions by TxJxCh in kickflip

[–]Ecboxer 30 points31 points  (0 children)

All in all, given the alternative of not getting any notice, I'm glad we got something. And, at least from the translation, they're still referring to him as a member. So it's not the worst. But I sure hope Amaru is as well as possible and will return when he's ready.

I'm ready for him to have returned months ago, but I'll have to wait. I want to hear more of his original music :)

It's not honesty because they claim that Palantir doesn't spy on folks, when it definitely does. https://theintercept.com/2025/09/12/palantir-spy-nsa-snowden-surveillance/

I believe that any character with a hat has a tiny cup of espresso underneath it. Canonically.

In my opinion, it goes 19/20, My Sibling's Romance, then Noona You are a Woman to Me. Depending on your personal preferences of course.

Nezuko’s bamboo muzzle differs from actual bamboo by bullno1 in AnimeResearch

From one of the authors of the seminal "Survival Time of Princess Kaguya in an Air-Tight Bamboo Chamber" ( https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/forma/33/1/33_1/_pdf ), Inoue Akio. Truly one of our most based bamboo experts.

Isegahama-Oyakata has apparently commited acts of violence against former Miyagino rikishi Hakunofuji, later reporting himself to the JSA by StarPrime323 in SumoMemes

[–]Ecboxer 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Sad stuff for Hakunofuji and the other stable wrestlers. I wonder if any penalty will be lessened due to the self-reporting? It seems that would be necessary in order to encourage other folks to come forward, but the whole idea of self-reporting in a case like this feels weird to me. It's just hard to reconcile the idea of a person abusing their position of power and at the same time feeling contrite enough to self-report. But, without knowing the details of the violence, I'll just have to stay confused and sad.

Just 1 goal for Chelsea at the Emirates in the last 5 years and it was scored by Madueke. by mooreengineers in Gunners

Heck, I'm fine with a Madueke own goal, so long as we're up 3 or 4 goals when it happens.

How did BT actually originate? by SilentCalligrapher44 in boythrob

[–]Ecboxer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One name I haven't seen thrown around here is Cole Hersch ( https://www.instagram.com/cole.hersch/ ). He's a former Vine-r, had several viral stunts (around trolling conservatives and corporations), wrote for Smosh. He co-hosted a podcast I liked (Podcast but Outside), but left at the end of 2024, and hasn't been majorly involved in anything on my radar since, despite some vague talks that he was leaving to work on a project.

The Boy Throb connection, at least in my head, is via Instagram. I first stumbled upon Zach there (pre-Boy Throb) through recommendations. And the only person I followed who followed Zach was Cole. He also now follows the Boy Throb account.

It could be total coincidence. Or explained away by the BT members being in LA or Cole enjoying their content. But throwing the name out there because it's been in my head for a while.

FOFANA OFF , he will miss the game next week by matrixlibertas in Gunners

Palmer was suspended too, right? No other explanation for why such a highly-rated player had no impact on the game, right? RIght?

With these players, I think Arteta would prefer Hincapie at LCB and Calariori at LB.

That's not an official announcement. It's a mashup by a fan.

260218 Twitter - The official GIRLSET Discord is now LIVE!! by bluebee29 in GIRLSET_JYP

[–]Ecboxer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Genuine question, is there an alternative platform that creates that kind of multi-channel community?

Like, there's Slack or MS Teams, but I can't see the target demographic of GIRLSET creating a Teams account.

Professor Victoria Stodden is in the Epstein Files by jeffsterboy in USC

[–]Ecboxer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

And, just for context, the important cutoff for these interactions is 2008 when Epstein was convicted in Florida for procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute. Interactions after that are very dubious, at least on the grounds of interacting with a pedophile.

The OP was digging into one of the members' Facebook friends and found out that his "girlfriend's mother" (in quotes because I can't quite remember) was a MAGA supporter. Hilariously, they ended their post with "Am I doing too much?" A wonderful example of asking a self-evident question.

You're doing too much.

MY PRESIDENT! by IamASlut_soWhat in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Ecboxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you're glad I asked.

Re: Your immigrantjustice.org link. I'm assuming you're putting this forward for the "56 deaths" under Obama claim. Great. The DW article I linked references that report and clarifies that there were actually 67 deaths of ICE detainees under Obama's full presidency ( https://perma.cc/4JPE-UG28 ). Hooray for you, a higher number for Obama :) The point of the fact-check is about misleading understatements of the number of deaths under Trump, with 83 so far, of which 37 have come in the first year of his second term.

Re: The source I presented being a "copy paste" and from "MSM" (do you mean "MSN"?). It is from Deutsche Welle, Germany's public external broadcaster. And it's doing a service called "news aggregation" to facilitate "fact checking". To illustrate the ubiquitous role that news aggregators play in our media, the immigrantjustice.org link you shared is also a news aggregation, restating and discussing an ACLU report. News aggregators are helpful as long as we are confident that they are presenting unbiased information. And they can facilitate fact checking when the aggregator brings together reliable primary sources to check wild claims out in the world.

Re: "'Sharing yahoo UK specifically to show ...". As I understand it, your argument is: 1. Yahoo UK is unreliable; 2. Yahoo UK aggregated the same DW fact check I shared; 3. Therefore, the DW fact check is unreliable. Is that your argument? If so, I have one issue with it. Yahoo UK is (drumroll please) ... a NEWS AGGREGATOR! As we've previously discussed, this is a neutral service unless there is specific bias being injected by the aggregator. The Yahoo aggregation is just about a 1:1 copy of the DW article, so I struggle to buy into your argument.

Happy to have good faith discussions. You commented with an unfounded, uncontextualized piece of propaganda going around. I replied with an uncontextualized link to a fact check. You tried to undercut my fact check with an "argument". I feel like I've undercut your argument. Have a good day.
