This is fucking awful. Such a terrible, out of nowhere death

Have to say aswell, after reading the article, how stupid is his boss who gave him it? He was involved in the whole meth operation with these cans and decided to give away the excess ones that he thought only had beer in them. Why not just throw them away? Such an idiotic risk for no good reason. Was he high on the supply or something? Only thing I can think to explain why he’d do something as utterly careless as this. And now he’s in prison for 20 years because of it

Ahhh I see from the coverage I’ve heard on this it seemed that people were thinking her appeal was her last chance and if she did go to prison then there’s no chance she’d be allowed to live. That she’d be doing all this going after appeals and a presidential pardon with the “if you don’t give me this, I’m going to tell the world all I know” angle. I guess maybe she could have done that but they called her bluff and threatened her back and she decided living the rest of her life in a comfy prison was better than death? I dunno, correct me if there’s reason not to think that

Please excuse my ignorance but why is that? Genuinely curious

Enjoy “committing suicide” in prison, you demon

Mate can you actually read? I replied to your comment to push back against you expecting Greta to be standing up on a platform and immediately talking about all of this stuff to the world when she’s going to be very traumatised. And that she would be whether what the article says is true or not. That’s it. Nothing else

My whole point has been about that, not about the article and it’s accuracy. The only times I’ve said anything about the latter is cos you keep somehow not understanding that I’m not talking about the accuracy of the article and bringing it back up again. And even then the only thing I really said in response to that was pushing back against you saying The Canary is niche when it actually isn’t really. And also telling you to read it, seeing as you clearly hadn’t from what you’ve said in replies. You didn’t understand entirely what you were arguing against in the article and now you’re not understanding my point at all and have somehow gone off thinking I’m saying things that I’m not

Hit & Run was also fantastic

If you can’t understand why someone wouldn’t go out in front of the world and make big statements in line with these claims, or any statement at all, immediately after a very traumatising experience then you really need to work on your empathy and understanding of basic human emotion. I understand your skepticism, to a point. I just gave a very obvious reason why she hasn’t talked about the harrowing things she went through in detail to the public straight away, whether they are as is said in this article or not. Even thinking about them is going to be very difficult for her, nevermind doing what you’re expecting

Edit: Taken out a sentence that isn’t relevant, as I thought you were the OP of this comment thread before

I’m not a chatbot, you can read the article yourself and find out these things. I haven’t insisted the article is credible. Go back and read what I wrote and you’ll see that

Where in the article does it say she gave testimony herself? Also it isn’t that much of a niche news site, it’s one of the biggest left wing news outlets in the UK, probably the second biggest after Novara

Nice editing and erasing most of what you said in this comment. Realised you’ve been talking shit eh?

Didn’t realise “plausible” was a synonym for ”true". Do you wanna stop strawmanning me or? And you are doing it to try and talk down to me, be real. You can be “precise” without using those terms. It has similar energy as someone weaponising psychology terms in a conflict in order to try and seem like the one in the right by virtue of being “more intelligent”

Ok so…how have I said anything that goes against that? I’ve not once said I believe it or that others should and that we should have solid evidence before we believe something. I like the throwing out philosophy terms you’re doing in order to try and talk down to me too

Yeah I’ve noticed a lot of the engagement to what’s said here is similar to r/worldnews a lot of the time. There just needs to be more communities on other instances so we don’t have to deal with the enlightened centrism that dominates reddit on here too and the libs can have their own space aswell

Have you considered that maybe she’s very traumatised both physically and mentally at the moment and is recovering first before she steps out into the public eye again?

So we just don’t consider anything could be true unless we know for absolute sure it is? So we shouldn’t even entertain the idea that Epstein didn’t kill himself, as well as many other things? I understand that we shouldn’t go about throwing out theories and believing them completely without some solid evidence, but I think the other extreme of “epistemic hygiene” hinders us too. Certain things could turn out to be true and us ignoring suggestions of that earlier on could mean we don’t realise later. Again I’m not saying that the possibility I bring up in my original comment is likely or anything, just it wouldn’t surprise me really. There’s so many examples in recent years of powers distracting us from the bad things they’re doing with other things

Not saying it’s definitely the case but the conspiracy minded part of me can’t help but notice the attack on the synagogue in Manchester was very conveniently timed around when the flotilla arrived in Israel. Could just be coincidence of course but we’ve seen what they’re capable of making happen. This would be very easy for them. And this isn’t to have any disrespect towards the victims of the attack, even if it was a false flag or whatever it doesn’t make it any less of a tragedy. Plenty of Jewish people suffer generally because of Israel too

Edit: well guess I offended a bunch of people with this. Nice to see that we’re being no different to reddit here and just downvoting people we don’t agree with, even if that person isn’t being shitty about the opinion they’re expressing and isn’t claiming it’s true anyway, and not having an open discussion about the thing that’s been said

I’m very anti authoritarian and anti statist but this doesn’t always happen. You can’t look at say Burkina Faso with Thomas Sankara at it’s head and Nazi Germany and say they’re the same in how the government treated the people

Yeah chimps are actually some of the worst right? Their lives are kinda like a constant warzone. They also even do assassinations

If we’re going for the “good” apes, then gibbons and bonobos would be the best bet, from what I understand. Though gibbons aren’t in the same category (I forget which taxonomy level it’s at), they’re “lesser” apes. The only species of lesser apes still living too, I think. Not as great as the rest of us apes, apparently

And that’s me done showing off some of my very basic knowledge of primates

Yeah even putting this situation aside I wasn’t that gassed for GOY. I played GOT and enjoyed it sure, but it was yet another typical open world action-adventure game with no innovation at all really, basically the same gameplay we’ve seen countless times at this point. It just had a halfway decent story, which is a low bar for video games, and looked really pretty. And what you say is very true I agree, “by weebs, for weebs”

Edit: oh my god I knew there were apparently new gameplay elements in GOY. I hadn’t looked it up but suspected it would again be nothing new. And yeah most of it is but I did see they have something…unique. The “Watanabe mode” where it plays lofi beats music over you playing. So cringe

I just looked it up now seeing as I hadn’t heard of this either

From what I can gather one of the senior members of the development team, Drew Harrison, made a (mild) joke in a tweet about the suspected shooter in Charlie Kirk’s death. Loads of right wingers, being the thin skinned, wannabe victims but apparently “free speech warriors” that they are, harassed her and contacted Sucker Punch trying to get her fired, threatening to boycott the game and so on. Sucker Punch and/or Sony predictably caved and did so

If I’m missing anything, please feel free to add to this. As I say I’m only just hearing about it and haven’t gone on a deep dive about it
