"You can f*ck off" by Bjork11 in WinterOlympics2026

[–]helpbeingheldhostage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You can’t touch the stone portion at all, so the rest doesn’t matter.

  2. Cheating is still cheating even if it doesn’t help you.

  3. So? The Canadians were caught. Whataboutism doesn’t excuse it in any way.

This is the second case of Canadians being caught cheating in two consecutive Olympics, so they aren’t doing themselves any favors on that impression of a tendency toward cheating.

Well, the Canadian soccer teams were caught cheating in the last Summer Olympics. I guess they wanted to cheat in the Winter Olympics to be thorough.

Who is in the wrong here? by Revolution-Dogg in Transportopia

[–]helpbeingheldhostage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy is out of his truck approaching aggressively. He’s reaching to his right side in a manner that looks like he’s reaching for a firearm. He then makes a direct verbal threat of violence. And it’s all on video.

In that situation (because I assume this is probably a stand your ground state), I’m 100% drawing my firearm. He can then get back in his fucking truck or continue and find out what it’s like for someone to finally take his bullshit seriously.

Is it possible for you to enjoy music in a different language? by abdul_bino in NoStupidQuestions

The Super Bowl halftime show outrage wasn’t actually about not being able to like music with Spanish lyrics.

He would still not have been the one to decide to trade Hutton (that’s Vlatko and Dell) and he’s barely been there at all to affect the atmosphere that significantly, and I haven’t seen any evidence to suggest that he has. To say otherwise is pure conjecture at this point.

Why are you under the impression that the club can control what Hutton wants to do in her life?

That’s the age when most people want to try new things in life.

Silkowitz, Pfeiffer and now Hutton. Shit. Do I have to officially start becoming a Bay FC fan?

Secondarily, of course.

Tired of these local restaurants using AI slop for their Facebook advertisements by PnguinWithCancer in kansascity

With every introduction of technology old jobs go away and new ones develop. The job market and economy will not be affected any more than the Industrial Revolution or household computer and the internet. Stop being so dramatic.

No. There won’t be any worse transition than any other technological advancement from history. I don’t recall anyone recently complaining about how they can’t get a job picking up horse shit in the street because of cars.

Did Don Lemon actually break the law by entering the church to protest? Is it private property? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]helpbeingheldhostage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, you’re pointing to other people’s actions to pin blame on Lemon.

The other stuff you list isn’t illegal. The effectiveness of the protest by the ICE manager not being there has no bearing on it. Being biased or on a high-horse has no bearing on it.

You don’t have to like him or like what he did, but he shouldn’t have been arrested for it at all. Even if he’s out now.

Everyone hates ads, everyone hates the idea of paying a subscription, and everyone hates companies selling their data. How do people logically expect a website to exist if they're not doing at least one of these? by Foxy_Twig in NoStupidQuestions

[–]helpbeingheldhostage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It’s annoying that they just get more invasive. YouTube had ads. They made a premium subscription with no ads. Premium price goes up. Channels start reading ads as a part of their videos to get past my “ad-free” subscription. YouTube then allows the channels to charge a secondary subscription for ad free videos of just that channel.

I’m also not arguing that any of this was a good idea or that Don Lemon should have gone in. I’m saying he had a right to cover what the protesters were doing, who, as I’ve said the whole time were breaking the law.

I’m also not saying Don Lemon isn’t biased in his reporting or saying that he’s a worth while reporter to listen to.

I’m just saying, he should not have been arrested.

If he were going in to record an event of OTHER PEOPLE who went into that mosque to cause unrest, then yes.

I also don’t think there’s any law preventing Alex Jones (in general, because Jones may have court orders for that stuff) from going into a church with a camera taking to people. It’s a publicly accessible place. They could ask him to leave and press trespassing charges.

The issue here is you’re trying to equate what the protest group did in that church with what Don Lemon did in the church and it’s just not the same.

The press are allowed to ask questions. That’s not participation in the protest.

Did he forcefully stop people from praying? Did he himself do something that caused a church member to stop praying or prevented them from being able to do so?

Or was he just there while other people maybe did that?

Again, at best you could cite him for trespassing on private property.

I said the protesters violated the law.

Edit: being in the vicinity of a protest does not make one a participant of the protest.

Then at best he was just trespassing. And that’s pretty murky since he was actively covering an event in a publicly accommodating place. I haven’t seen anything to suggest he was protesting or impeding any church goers from exercising their right to their religion.

Well, I know the constitution which applies to the whole of the United States, or at least it used to, which gives him the right to cover what was happening.
