@Artyom @seaQueue American politics is literally everything you see in every heist/longcon/grifter movie. If you act like you belong, people will just assume you belong. Donald Trump didn't act like he was guilty, so people just assumed he wasn't guilty. Doesn't matter how much evidence you throw at them. If he was wrong and guilty he would have left. And that's without getting into the financial incentives other people have to lie and play along.
@cyborganism @wreckedcarzz If you take internet reviews there are only three types of restaurants.
-
Excellent places that deserve their Michelin Stars

Excellent places that should have Michelin Stars

Diarrhea fuel garbage pits. With food so disgusting you shouldn't even feed it to the stray dog that bit your baby.
On our national deal hunting website you can see all the "It gives you diarrhea comments" every time there's a coupon for McDonalds or franchised Shawarma
this is hilarious fellow millennial, because I just went to Red Lobster today and had a great time.
Of course this was the first time I've been in 20+ years so it's not like I'm a regular.
@roastedDeflator I mean it is a funny piece of satire and I support satire. But did they? Reading the article? The only thing I can see is the tick tock has a lot of comments. Is that what it means When we say they fell for it? that tick tock has a lot of comments. I don't see any screenshots of articles where people were writing think pieces about it. Just three tiktok comments? This feels more like an ad for that satire website. And if so it kind of worked, I bookmarked it. I'll check it out.
@JasSmith @FlyingSquid it was a public school. And they cited religious beliefs as for why they were so offended. That's a clear violation of church and state and while it's certainly not new or unique it's not defensible or right.
"They had other people dancing in that video who were on the dance team that nothing happened to. He said she was punished because she is the 'hood ornament' of the school."
Based on the NY Post pictures it was probably awkward teenage white girl twerking too. This whole thing is just a nothing burger and it doesn't even seem like a private school. what the heck?

@TheOneWithTheHair good lord what happened to just punishments. Even if this was something to punish (which it isn't) anything more than a detention is kinda extreme? Ya'll taking away scholarships? That's a future by some measures. You're saying it's okay to take away her ability to get a bright future because she was at a party on her own time?
@sholomo @Lightor I think you're wrong but It's an interesting argument. Why is this shooting seen by many as more reasonable than the guy who show the kid knocking on his door. For my money it's the justifiable confusion. A kid knocks on your door and your first response is to shoot doesn't make sense. You had room and barriers to make decisions. In this case the dude was in his face and wouldn't back off. IMO they're incomparably different. But yeah guns are a problem in both cases.
@Decoy321 @TheJims It was definitely a real controversy for months a while back. He won and his opponent iirc accused him of having a vib to help him cheat.
General concensus is that it's unlikely. The sheet complexity of communicating movements via vib patterns alone makes it a stretch.
