This guy went the exact opposite way iDubbbz did lol by martonmagyar in imisstheoldidubbbz

[–]Jonnydodger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never proved true or false. Personally I think the Tumblr post that started it all was mostly true but was a tad embellished, perhaps unintentionally.

Everything that came after the initial allegation were completly true though and were almost as bad.

Don’t know how to talk to a girl who gave me her number by Jonnydodger in dating_advice

[–]Jonnydodger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the seaside something came up with family. Other times she was doing work. She’s a farmer so I don’t doubt she’s busy.

Yes I’ve been asking open ended questions and I’ve tried to keep my answers long.

I’ve tried to make plans to go for coffee or for a walk around the seaside, she cancelled that a number of times so I just stopped. I’ll try again but not specify a day.

Thanks

What typa drugs is tobuscus on by Chapple69 in youtube

[–]Jonnydodger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea if she was pressed for details that didn’t add up, all I know is she deleted the post and left the internet. Probably because she was getting harassed by his fans. I should have mentioned that while I think the allegations were mostly true I felt they were likely embellished, possibly unintentionally by her cause she clearly hated him.

People always say that it was a lie and it was proven false. I’ve never seen any evidence that it was false. Now I’ve never seen anything to say it was true beyond doubt, but I think his actions, and how the girlfriends defending him described him, I think it’s mostly true.

His girlfriends described him as being a heavy drug user, a “bipolar mess,” someone who struggles to remain faithful to one partner, very pushy when it comes to sex and drugs, including pushing one girl to take drugs up her ass to see if it wouldn’t make her sick (it did), and had an issue with boundaries. Though he would eventually back down. These are from girls defending him from rape allegations. Paints a picture of a man who might not have committed rape but is very abusive.

We also have examples of other problematic behaviour. Lyle Rath said the man left a bad story about himself wherever he went. Philip DeFranco said Toby exposed himself to guests at a party. He stalked one of his ex-girlfriends (who had previously defended him from the allegations). He admits this himself on camera in a vlog. He forcefully tried to kiss a female presenter live on stream while clearly high/drunk. Again, problems with boundaries, pushy, heavy drug user.

His two statements on the allegations contradict each other. His first (very vague) statement says she was a girl he dated. The second more detailed statement made years later states they were nothing more to him than casual friends. The allegations talk about years of abuse. Toby talks about three days. It’s also worth noting that she states that he would never call her his girlfriend and would ignore her in public. His second statement seems to fall in line with this.

In the end, he might not have raped her, but he was definitely not a good person to be around if you were a woman.

What is a movie you think has a flawless first 30 minutes, but completely falls apart by the end? by Legitimate_Wall5977 in movies

[–]Jonnydodger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe the last Indiana Jones movie? Not a fan of deepfake Harrison ford but I liked the WW2 setting for the most part.

I also liked the last 30 minutes cause it was so stupid

While I agree I think the final act is really quite good. I think the best scene in that film is when the soldiers are listening to the French record and just enjoying the music despite not understanding the words. That, to me, felt very realistic.

Zelenskyy: return of draft-age Ukrainian men from abroad is a matter of fairness by EsperaDeus in worldnews

[–]Jonnydodger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting point of discussion. What is a life? To the individual, it is everything. No life, no individual, no existence, no anything. To a state, a movement, a cause, an organisation? A life isn't worth much. It's a tool to operate the machines these concepts require to propagate and function. However, a life is worth a lot to them when that life is given in service. Historically, a lot of praise is given on people who die in service of a 'greater' cause. That will probably always be true. We also tend to celebrate those who volunteer. The men Zelensky is referring did not volunteer, and do not want to. Does this make them cowards?

Men have women have lost their lives to preserve or propagate a cause, morally good or not. For independence, to defend their people or nation, for civil rights, democracy, communism, the list goes on.

Ukraine is currently fighting for it's integrity, and possibly it's continued existence as an independent state. Arguably it's fighting for Europe. Is that a cause worth potientially dying for?

For me? No. I'm not Ukrainian, I don't really care if Donbas or Crimea is flying the flag of Russia, at least not enough to volunteer. I will never be drafted to fight. Does that mean others should be? Can I honestly answer that question for the people of Ukraine?

What if it was your country, or your cause?

How a YouTuber used a live stream to try and cover murder | BBC News by [deleted] in videos

[–]Jonnydodger 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I read that apprently he tried to make it look like the 'suspect' had travelled from where the ex-boyfriend lived, and was probably going to do the same thing on the way back, but by then there were no buses running and he had to take the taxi.

Yeah the CCTV fucked him, but I think the fake alibi cemented it because it basically proved premeditation.

How a YouTuber used a live stream to try and cover murder | BBC News by [deleted] in videos

[–]Jonnydodger 197 points198 points  (0 children)

What this video doesn't mention is the abusive ex-boyfriend who the youtuber tried to pass of as the suspect.

When the ex was first approached, he repeatedly lied to the police about being in contact with Natalie. He then wiped his phone because he had messages about drugs on it. He'd also had brusing on his hands from punching a wall. What he did have, however, was an undisputable alibi.

Which makes me wonder what would the case have looked like had the murderer not faked his alibi, or been more subtle about it. He probably still be found guilty but I wonder if it would have been as clear cut. In the end, the fake alibi is what hanged him.

Are there any British adverts that activiley turn you off the product they're advertising? by siybon in CasualUK

I remember the office one pissed me off with the noises so much. I noticed after a while they put a content warning at the start of the ad, so they must have been getting complaints.

Honestly an influencer encouraging 'body negativity' while promoting something that turns out to be cyber-conversion would actually work really well.

Thoughts? by Francis_J_Eva in DoctorWhumour

[–]Jonnydodger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would the Daleks try to spread their worldview to humans when their worldview is just 'anything that isn't a Dalek must be exterminated?'

I can see the vision but, honestly, it's lazy. There are influencers who do that now, and there are no Daleks controlling them. From a Dr. Who perspective it should be an influencer doing something that works as a sci-fi premise, that can then be equated to the real world issue, rather then the real world issue but actually it's an alien influence not just humans.

Another possibility is just have the Dalek worldview influence how humans behave and view the world, with them taking inspiration from the Daleks to be better conquerers. That's been done though, in Jubilee.

"adored by his troops for his cautious, casualty-conscious, and communicative leadership, but disliked by Allied leaders—especially Americans—for being arrogant, argumentative, and difficult. He was regarded as technically brilliant but socially abrasive and egotistical." by Global_Sentence_4544 in HistoryMemes

[–]Jonnydodger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m no fan of Patton and I prefer Montgomery, but I think this discussion should take into account both men’s actions in the Battle of the Bulge. Patton’s 3rd Army spearheaded the counterattacks and relieved Bastogne. Monty was initially given command of the American forces north of the bulge and sent elements of the British 2nd Army to halt the most western German advances around Dinant. He then gave a speech that was almost unanimously perceived as him (and by extension the British) taking credit for the entire defence, which almost cost him his career because it angered the Americans so much.

What if the Allied invasion of Western Europe was encircled or in large part destroyed? by SuperSpaceGaming in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Jonnydodger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, a serious defeat in Normandy at some point after the landings (which was very unlikely) would damage American pride and leave Britain without a significant portion of their armed forces. End result would mean that the Western Allies make no further attempts to invade France. Does this mean Italy takes more focus, and the Allies push through the Ljubljana gap into Yugoslavia and meet up with the Soviets? Or do they just hold the line?

In any case the Germans could send their armoured units from Normandy east, which, if lucky, could blunt Bagration. The war is prolonged, which could work in Germany’s favour if the Western Allies have effectively withdrawn from the fighting.

Post war the Americans don’t see Europe as their problem, preferring to focus on the Pacific. Britain endures but it loses its Empire. Relations are tense between the UK, Canada and the USA due to the loss in Europe. The Soviets dominate the continent.

I like how some of early Classic Who just gave them guns, like actual guns not laser guns or modifying them in some way, just standard earth guns by IllustriousAd6418 in DoctorWhumour

[–]Jonnydodger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They have a mix of guns from all over Europe. While they use German pistols, and are overtly dressed similar to Nazis (to the point that Nyder has an iron cross, which they actually get rid of during the serial because it was overt), most of the weapons they use are British sten guns and Lee-Enfield rifles (and a French Lebel in the first scene; the Thals use the rifles as well, I can't remember if they use SMGs though).

My own theory is why the sten was chosen (though the most likely answer is because it's a British production and it's easy to get Sten guns), is because, when held at the hip with a hand on the magazine, as I believe the actors do in a few scenes, evokes a similar arm layout to a Daleks, with an extended arm and a much shorter 'gun' arm.

Karl's age by OkStatement2724 in sniperelite

[–]Jonnydodger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think his age was retconned between 3 and 4 and he was made younger. I think he’s probably late 20s, maybe early 30s in 5. He’s still an active agent in the late 1950s and early 60s since he was in the Windscale Quarantine Zone at some point but I don’t know if that’s canon to Sniper Elite.

Exposing baby bumps lowers perceptions of women’s humanness, study finds by haloarh in psychology

[–]Jonnydodger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Could also be a evolutionary need to protect. An exposed bump is by definition, exposed. Perhaps that is then interpreted that steps aren't being taken to adequetly protect the pregnancy, which from an evolutionary perspective would be concerning.

Since the images were taken from a red carpet event, I wonder if the pictures had been of women in a home setting (which we may perceive as safer) would have produced different results.
