    “Lemmy isn’t much better than Reddit”
    “Both sides are the same”
    “Harris would have been just as bad as Trump”
    “Liberals are just as bad as Conservatives”
    “The other side wants to hunt you for sport, but this side wants to give you healthcare; it’s all the same!”

    This probably isn’t directed at you specifically, but the false equivalencies these days are simply unhinged…

    I misread #1 as “You can’t hear your ears without a mirror”, which might make even less sense… But being someone who can slightly move my ear independently of my face (only the left one), I moved it, heard the low sound of hair moving against it and thought, “Ha! You’re wrong!” The rest got me, though…




  • I guess it depends. Is it factual and balanced or does it ignore that creepy part of his life? Being approved by the e$tate makes me doubt that.

    IMO, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Much has been said of his “child-like wonder and innocence”, but he wasn’t special needs or anything; he was still an adult! Like the rest of us, he made choices knowing how they would be viewed. Sure, maybe one family made shit up, hoping for a payday. But to then continue doing the same things after the initial accusation, bringing children into your bed at night…!? Personally, I would have installed cameras everywhere, hired a childcare person to always be there with the children, and, y’know, not have them sleep in my bed overnight. It would prove there was nothing going on, protect his reputation and fortune, give the parents peace of mind, etc. But he didn’t do any of that…




  • Karex produces more than 5 billion condoms annually and is a supplier to leading brands like Durex and Trojan, as well as national health systems such as the UK’s NHS and global aid programmes run by the United Nations

    The biggest surprise is that apparently top brands like Durex and Trojan, (and the UK’s NHS) don’t actually make condoms!? What, they just resell them from another company? And then they’re surprised that a single factor could disrupt their entire business?? Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket…
