Yep.Weren't they the newspaper that had the scandal over the Hillsborough coverage?
It is going to be 41+ degrees (Celsius) tomorrow... heatwave is finally hitting us wooooooooooooooooooooooo
*melts and dies*
I've been fortunate enough to not get anything like that here but on Amino?Just had someone DM me with the message "*bites your ass*". Lolwut
I don't even feel sexual attraction. It's clear that I don't in my profile. But...I've been fortunate enough to not get anything like that here but on Amino?
Holy shit lmao
I'm convinced people never read these things. I've started just ignoring any DM that starts with shit like "Hi" or "how are you" because they almost always turn out to be from weirdos that are trying to solicit nudes or convert me into a Neo-Nazi or something.I don't even feel sexual attraction.

Neo-Nazi? That's new to me, I didn't know they DMed people to try to convert them. Weird x.xI'm convinced people never read these things.

Whenever I get a random DM, I always check their profile, mutual servers, mutual friends, to find out how they got to me. If they look or seem shady (pfp, name, etc) I ignore them or more often block.I'm convinced people never read these things.

Tbh I'm exaggerated there. But I get some weird questions about politics since I study it.Neo-Nazi? That's new to me, I didn't know they DMed people to try to convert them. Weird x.x
Ah. What kind of weird questions if you don't mind me asking?Tbh I'm exaggerated there. But I get some weird questions about politics since I study it.
Mostly just asking me specifics about the leanings of my lecturers. Feels like they're gathering proof for the whole "all academia is icky libtards" thing you see going around. Both of mine are actually openly right wing, not that they let it conflict with what they teach.Ah. What kind of weird questions if you don't mind me asking?
I hate when they use phrases like "libtards" and "conservaturds". Why can't they just accept the fact that not everyone shares the same opinion? Like, hello... accept reality :0Mostly just asking me specifics about the leanings of my lecturers.

"Conservaturd"? That's a new one to me, although its definition is pretty easy to ascertain.I hate when they use phrases like "libtards" and "conservaturds". Why can't they just accept the fact that not everyone shares the same opinion? Like, hello... accept reality :0
Yes I think it'd be wise to move on."Conservaturd"? That's a new one to me, although its definition is pretty easy to ascertain.
I do have to wonder how many of the people using the two phrases are trying to fit in by using these, how many have perceived suffering at the hands of the side they're insulting, and how many actually DIRECTLY suffered through the target side's policies rather than their individuals.
That's as far down this political rabbit-hole as I dare go.
Keep using the vent thread! Don't even think about whether you use it a lot or not!I feel like I come back here to the vent threads way too much. I am not sure what else to do with all these emotions though.
I mean, all newspapers would be banned everywhere if crappy journalism was grounds to ban themYep.
That's why they're banned here.
I don't know the specifics but from what I've gathered it's less of a legal ban and more an angry mob type ban.
Same. I am having an awful day. Like 1/10 do not recommend this dayMan today was just a bad bad for me, and it's not even fully over yet.
God damn it.
As I said from what I've gathered it's more of an informal ban, in that the general public gets angry if merchants try and sell it.I mean, all newspapers would be banned everywhere if crappy journalism was grounds to ban them
Eh that kind of catastrophic mistakes are routine in the press, that's pretty mild. The new york times won a Pulitzer for Holodomor negationismAs I said from what I've gathered it's more of an informal ban, in that the general public gets angry if merchants try and sell it.
And The Sun is a whole other tier of crappy. The reason Liverpool specifically hates it is due to their coverage of The Hillsborough Disaster, during which they blamed the football fans rather than poor management, going as far to claim they robbed the corpses and attacked first responders.
Whilst idly viewing this story I found a bit in the aforementioned rag describing CC as 'Top Comic designer'.....Congrats, you've just described The Sun.
