This is B.S.

The lack of debate, or the material they planned on regurgitating during the debate?

hotchocolateman6969 , in Lucy Letby will die in prison after receiving 14 whole-life sentences

After everything she has done, why did they choose a picture where it looks like she signed with a team?

Tronn4 ,

She’s the white color

Answer: it’s all to do with innocent until proven guilty laws.

Basically, in the UK, you can’t push a view in the media that someone committed the crime until they are found guilty. You can say blah happened and it is suspected that blah happened but if you say they did it before they are ruled guilty you open yourself up to legal issues.

This continues over to use of photos etc where if you use photos that make them look “bad” then that entity may be accused of pushing the view before the suspect is found guilty.

But, once found guilty, you can do it. If you go look at the BBC News site today you’ll find that they don’t really use this image and now use mugshots and other images where she doesn’t look happy/smiling.

As for why this specific picture is still sometimes used - it’s really just to do with what users will recognise, because this case has been going on for years now and that’s the picture they always showed. Sky News (the site in the link) does also have other non-happy pictures of her now.

Because she’s white, young and hot, which automatically earns her sympathy points from everyone else. Look at all the people calling her mentally ill when if she was a dude, they’d be calling for his blood too.

Meowoem ,

I hate this mentality, how dare they post a picture of her looking normal when she should be drooling blood and screaming about how she loves to kill babies in every picture

She did look normal, that’s a huge part of what let her get away with it for so long - everyone has this idea that only ugly people with mean faces do crime but that’s not how reality works - people aren’t all typecast and coded for their role, we need to get used to the reality that a normal and nice seeming person could be awfull on the inside.

assassin_aragorn ,

I think their point is that this should be the case, a normal photo, but it only seems to be the case for certain demographics. A black person wouldn’t have gotten a nice, normal photo.

I don’t know why it bothers me so much given that every GOP candidate is scum. But it especially irks me that Doug Burgum can get a spot in the debates by giving away $20 gift cards to those who donated $1.

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.

Right?!?

She is clearly mentally unfit and should be in Bedlam.

Thanks for the update. Good news!

I should have added they were trapped for 15 hours before being rescued 😬

“This is B.S.,” conservative radio host Larry Elder complained in a video he shared online. “It is designed, in my opinion, to ensure that [Florida Gov.] Ron DeSantis is the nominee — anybody other than Donald Trump.”

Jesus Christ, even when attempting to be nominated, he has to make it about Trump. Like even when he feels he's facing injustice, it's not just that they're screwing him over, but it's all part of their master plan to ensure Trump isn't somehow the nominee. Like what if you actually became runner up? Was your goal to capitulate to Trump automatically?

It really is hard to separate the Republican party from Trump at this point. For many, DeSantis' biggest sin is that he isn't Trump. Every action by active members seems to be to win Trump's favor. Even DeSantis has to oil his feet despite being his political rival. The fact that Trump won't be participating in the debates, yet will still likely be nominated shows how much he actually controls the Republican party.

I was trying to explain this story to my partner. It’s absolutely bonkers and that’s before I knew that poor lady died.

Astroturfed , in No pets allowed: New Publix signs met with mixed reviews for telling customers to keep pets out of stores

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.

Hazdaz , in Looking for a new car under $20,000? Good luck. Your choice has dwindled to just one vehicle

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/eb034d8c-7f4b-48ed-8490-3a9ab273c4b0.jpeg

The new 2024 Chevy Trax, which has gotten rave reviews, starts at about $21k.

It is infinitely better vehicle than this Mirage.

Fuck Nissan and their shitty transmissions

geogle ,
@geogle@lemmy.world avatar

Difference is that the number they’re looking at is the average sales price. There is a big difference between starting price for a bare-bones option without fees and actual sales price across the model line.

Hazdaz ,

Even a base-model Trax is better equipped than a mid-range Mirage.

A well-equipped Trax can be had for mid 20k. A fully loaded one still comes in at under $27k.

That is a hell of a deal any way you look at it, and yet some people are still somehow complaining about it?! WTF?

Garrett ,

Mid 20k is a bit higher than “under 20k” though right?

Hazdaz ,

…so get the base model.

Oh, but I get it. You aren’t looking for solutions. You are just looking to complain. Got it!
