Well that’s a time the science was wrong bro and since it’s changed I don’t believe in the science now. I do my own research and come up to my own conclusions even though I spent most of high school in the smoker’s pit ditching class. /s

Oh yes, there are some who did the research, performed the experiment and got the opposite result. Then they rejected the conclusions of the experiment and researched some more.

That part is genuinely the most baffling part to me. Like, I can see why somebody would fall into the cult of a really charismatic leader, a great public speaker that gets to your emotions etc.

But I can’t decipher half the shit that man says. He’s not just incapable of forming a proper sentence with a point, but he also has a terrible speaking voice, making his incoherent ramblings even harder to understand when not transcribed.

His transcribes are incoherent. His speeches are like listening to music. You don’t even know all the words, but you get the feeling. That’s all they are looking for.

He says the offensive stuff that’s been repressed for 60 years on the political stage. Trump could use the N-word with a hard R and his polls would go up.

    Yes and no. Victims aren’t always free to speak their minds. She said she didn’t mind but this is regarded as a preservation tactic due to a sexist environment.

    Son_of_dad ,

    When did she say she didn’t mind? I saw the video of her saying she didn’t like it

    qevlarr ,
    @qevlarr@lemmy.world avatar

    I’m sorry, the quote correct is this. So she’s not saying she didn’t mind, but more like ‘let’s move on’, which is a similar downplaying of what happened. The point was that her opinion isn’t all-important, because she has an interest in keeping her career.

    The president and I have a great relationship, his behaviour with all of us has been outstanding and it was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude.

    A gesture of friendship and gratitude cannot be gone over so much, we have won a World Cup and we are not going to deviate from what is important.

    schroedingershat ,

    You are assuming the things she has to say to keep her job are her opinion.

    Also untrue if you think it through. Anything other than pressing charges independently of her public statements is creating an environment where your boss might sexually assault you on live TV and get away with it so long as he has the power to end your career.

    flambonkscious ,

    I think what the other people are alluding to is the power imbalance here is what takes this from inappropriate to scandalous - that’s my take on it, anyway…

    I feel the need to clarify that inappropriate is still an offence and technically this is assault, but the level of pressure to not make a scene is the ‘multiplier’ (on the scale of wrongness - sorry, my metaphors aren’t working today)

    Son_of_dad ,

    She says she didn’t like it for once. She’s gay, second. And he even entered the women’s change room after. The dude is clearly a weirdo creep

    "surprise kiss on the lips"

    That's a really interesting way to spell sexual assault.

    pedro ,

    That’s actually the factual way to describe it

    girlfreddy ,
    @girlfreddy@mastodon.social avatar

    @pedro @Kata1yst

    Not really. Care to try again to get it right?

    pedro ,

    Let’s break it down

    Is it a fact that it was a kiss? Yes

    Is it a fact that it was a surprise (to her)? Yes

    I’m not denying this is sexual assault but there is a difference between a fact and a judgment.

    girlfreddy ,
    @girlfreddy@mastodon.social avatar

    @pedro

    You seem to be under the erronious assumption that any man is allowed to give any woman a kiss whenever he wants to. You are wrong.

    If you'd like to know how wrong you are, come try and kiss me on live tv without my permission and see what happens.

    pedro ,

    I have never said that and you are reading what you want to read from my comment.

    The FACT that the kiss was given without consent makes it a sexual assault. But still, it’s a surprise kiss and that’s a fact.

    I wasn’t trying to say more than that so maybe tone it down.

    I’m probably a better feminist than you are. That is not a fact, that’s a judgement

    To those reporting for rule 2–

    Please note that currently, content from NY Post is acceptable.

    As I’ve shared previously, this chart illustrates the foundation for the original rules, established prior to the implementation of a blacklist. We’ve mentioned a few times now that the middle 3 columns are “preferred”, while the outer columns on both sides are “less preferred”. It is also worth emphasizing that the assessment of these sources will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

    After reviewing this, and comparing it to an article on the same subject from business insider, it is my conclusion that I’d prefer the use of the business insider article over the NY Post piece. This is because the NY Post article, especially towards the end, tends to deviate more into opinions and subjectivity in contrast.

    As always, the blacklist is accessible to the public here.

    Edit - OP, please respond to acknowledge you have seen this and understand why your post will be removed and that you are free to repost using the other link.

    TransplantedSconie ,

    They properly wont reply because it gives them the “They are canceling us!” victimization they want.

    Hurts ,

    I am going to remove it within the hour regardless, I’m just giving them the time to acknowledge this first and see that they’re free to post the other link before I remove it and they can no longer reply to save the effort of them messaging the mods asking questions.

    I’m not sure what your lemm.ee is (was), that link is just a direct link to the lemm.ee instance. I don’t believe I banned it, and looking through the modlog I don’t see any users of the same username banned within the last month at least, so I cannot give you an explanation unless you can give me the username and/or link(s).

    I’ve gotten several old Karen’s upset at me for telling them their shitty little purse dogs are not allowed. Every single one of them says it’s a support animal or something along those lines. They’re not fucking blind. These horrible cunts thing their groomed shih Tzu riding in their cart is an emotional support animal. Cuz they need to pet it when people point out what a cunt they are or something. Humanity doesn’t deserve to keep going at this rate.
