Yeah I remember this site and thought it was hilarious.
I once heard a story about a guy who put up ‘rate my poo’ on a hotel computer and just left it up on the lobby, and when he came back like 4 hours later, he saw that around 12 turds or something had been rated in his absence.
Based!
Yeah so it’s not clear how the ATV driver who ran him over and later killed himself came to the conclusion to do it due to political motivation, but authorities are saying that it was…
So, I won’t just absolutely 100% accept that as the truth, especially since there is no requirement for them to prove that in a court of law and continue investigating as the person who confessed it is dead…
But this made me curious so I found a better article that is more clear:
The suspect had accosted the elderly man as he placed pro-Donald Trump signs in his yard, initially ripping them up while speeding by on the ATV.
When the victim tried to put the signs back, the suspect ran him down with the ATV and fled.
Prior to the vicious attack, the suspect was seen smashing car windows and slashing tires.
The vandalism and attack are all believed to have been politically motivated and targeted people who had pro-Trump and law enforcement signage, according to the City of Hancock Police Department.
His 80-year-old victim remains in critical condition.
New York Post via (MSN)[https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/suspect-22-who-allegedly-ran-over-mich-trump-supporter-80-with-atv-kills-himself-report/ar-BB1qvIaS?ocid=BingNewsSerp]
Now, I would say it’s likely true that the vandalism could have all been along politically motivated lines, sure…
But here’s another guess:
He didn’t think he would hurt the guy badly by running him over.
Looking at thi ATV, I think it would not be unreasonable to conclude like “oh yeah if I just run over a guy he’ll fall to his side and I’ll just run over his legs and he’ll likely not even break anything, these are big soft tires…”
Of course, it’d hurt, but I can see the rationale for thinking it would not lead to BIG injuries, maybe a broken leg or some such at most…
But the guy must’ve fallen in such a way that he went under it and, also due to his age, the injuries were very severe…
ATV guy is then feeling really guilty - he calls the police and confesses, and then he kills himself out of guilt & shame, not wanting to face the public, his family, and the community aftewards. He realized he did something very stupid while very mad.
And so let me say I sympathize with him and mourn his loss… He’s a 22 year old guy. Probably has past issues. Probably didn’t want it to happen like this.
Honestly I feel really bummed out now, lol.
Parra’s political views, shaped by the laissez-faire Austrian school of economics and his parents’ negative experiences with government regulation in Brazil, led him to create a decentralized protocol as an alternative to Twitter’s increasing censorship. Despite acknowledging the potential for Nostr to attract hate speech due to its decentralized nature, Parra believes that such users are necessary.

Great guy right there
He’s not a “fascist”
He’s a Libertarian doing his thing.
I think I recollect actually opening it up initially on Edge and being like “lol what, no,” and then moving to Brave to open it up
(I use two different browsers actively at work - I have contemplated using Brave exclusively but a few heavy use websites I have are actually smoothest in Edge of all things)
Daily Mail’s swat at the story - I actually have no idea what’s going on:
Terrified residents have taken to the streets of Leeds to defend their homes after ‘violent’ thugs drove riot police out after setting the city ablaze.
Chaos erupted in Harehills, east Leeds early yesterday evening following an outbreak of ‘serious disorder’ that saw bonfires lit across the city, a cop car overturned and a double decker bus torched, reducing it to a charred and twisted wreck.
Community members were forced to plead with the rabble as police, despite having first responded to the disturbance around 5pm last night, remained relatively absent from the mayhem until 1am today.
Green Party councillor Mothin Ali, who after being elected to Leeds Council in May declared his victory a ‘win for the people of Gaza’, begged the rioters to stop, saying ‘there’s children in there’, as fires burned in the streets.
Police and local officials urged residents to stay home as rioters flooded the streets around Harehills and roads were closed off. But hooligans continued to turn up to the area, with many livestreaming footage of the havoc on social media.
The Home Secretary has condemned the ‘shocking scenes and attacks’ in the northern city and West Yorkshire police, which has been accused of intentionally avoiding the riot, vowed that the ‘full weight of the law will be brought against those responsible’.
… And, again, we have something about children being taken into government care:
Officers were called to an incident at an address in Luxor Street at 5pm on Thursday where they found an ‘ongoing disturbance’ involving agency workers and children, West Yorkshire Police said.
Locals allege the chaos was linked to local children being taken into care, adding that some people in the community responded by setting fires and ‘throwing stones’.
I don’t really know the story here, but people had fun.
I think a heck of a lot of people hope he chooses to do that (me included)
It would depend on what you said about the small ones.
But no matter what you said… Some people would cry: tears of joy, tears of relief, or tears of anger and melancholy… And no matter what yuo said, it’d be a mix of the two.
Honestly, speaking about small dingdongs is cathartic.
I will always support people with every kind of physical condition that is disadvantageous - if someone’s D is so small that they can’t have a normal relationship with a woman, I just feel like,
“Bro, let me buy you a beer and be a supportive friend who will never abandon you because I want you to have nice things in your life…”
And I hope your speech would either reflect that sentiment or allow me to do a rebuttal.
Fear of a Black Planet Planet
So it would hten be
The planet Fear of a Black Planet Planet
Def. a personal record - very proud
Especially when the complainants are his family - it’s bad enough to have a judge sentence you for an altercation involving strangers, but your own family? That is pretty brutal and sad. He’s losing a safe space through reckless behavior.
The man who died was a volunteer firefighter and a wonderful father - he literally started jumping in front of his family to shield them during it, which was when he was struck lethally.
Corey Comperatore, rest in peace.
I would be very slow to initiate but, ultimately, yes, if I were single.
But it would also have to be one of those things where the connection was very real and strong early on - likely there’d be some lunches and unromantic meetings one has with a friend before hand. Then, if there’s a spark, advancing to a serious, committed relationship…
So, in a sense, it wouldn’t be conventional dating, but more like advancing a friendship into a serious relationship.
But I still think a ‘yes’ applies here.
They certainly are - I think I have struggled to some degree with reading the audience right at times. It is very natural to miss things that people even try to hide or are not conscious of.
Not my feitsh… But someone out there has this fetish…
Someone would be very happy to meet you.
I think nobody is ready for most morbid intrusive thought…! territory because it’s just horrible.
I do not think of it even as an intrusive thought but literally the gibbering of demons, lol. But I suppose we could distinguish between random crazy thought involving violence or lust and recurring thought that seems plausible to you that is also morbid, but that also feels like cheating…
But if the game is literally reveal the insanity that the god of evil & darkness has whispered to you, lol, IDK, that’s better if everyone present has drank a lot of booze and the drunkest person has broken the ice with something so insane that can’t be topped.
I was contemplating how this was actually a pwoerful & intersting superpower and thus not sh-…
Oh, it’ps literally very shitty.
Here is what you actually do - I have done it twice.
“Oh man, did you not dry your clothes all the way? I smell a little bit of mold or something, and it’s summer, and if they weren’t in the drier and they just dried in a confined space, they sometimes get a moldy smell…”
And then they’ll kind of deny it’s them and that’s fine, and you just naturally change the topic…
They’ll think about what was said and make the connection that
It gives them an honorable exit because you provide them something that they can blame that does not indict them for poor hygiene.
Another way is to tell a story about ‘forgetting to wear deodorant on a hot day’ - this might work as well.
More than ten years ago, back as a college student, I was out with the bassist of my metal band. We were then both crazy, dysfunctional alcoholics (not we are both sober dads, lol)… But to get on with it…:
We had a Friday night practice then he just came up to my part of the city to drink all night long… We slept in my dingy apartment until about 2 PM, then both woke up to go to the nearby park by the university to meet our friend Dima and continue drinking, seamlessly, without ever feeling hungover - on the path to the divine 48 hour drinking session.
… By nightfall, our group had grown into the usual batch of metalheads and friends we had, and one of our mutual female friends was saying she knew we were in the park but not where we were, and as she was walking she began to think…
“God, who the fuck smells so bad, where are these guys…”
And when she approached our table of like half-a-dozen people, she realized it was chiefly my bassist and myself, and we were both super drunk and literally sweaty, baked men sitting in the sub-tropical humidity of the country we live in…
She told me this story several years later, laughing about it, but this is what I remember when I think about that time I smelt really bad in public.
(Of course it may have happened on other occasions due to marathon drinking in the summertime, but it was truly rare - I did not CHOOSE to smell bed; I just didn’t let hygiene get in the way of marathon drinking when I was younger & dumber.)
Yeah fr though if this community is created it shouldn’t be federated with the rest of Lemmy
How terrible would it be to really have our community take off being federated with all these other places and then to get defedded over some dumb “shit” (double entendre intended)
