  • The GOP’s worst insult was comparing her to the coolest mayor in recent memory. over a bus lane.

    lol

  • I'm not arguing against any jail time; I just think that 2 years is excessive.

    Giving them attention is exactly what they are seeking.

    this is highly dependent on the person-- embarrassing them publicly in front of all their fans could be very effective, although they could be one of those people for whom any attention is positive reinforcement (especially if they do this bullshit). so, you're probably correct in this instance.

    one of the things I hate most (on a very long list) about social media is that it has stripped kids of any sort of social shame. on one hand, it's great for people like LGBTQ+ kids and neurodivergent kids and other "others" in giving them the feeling that they can be themselves, a sense of community... but it's also normalized assholes by giving them feeling they can be themselves, too. it's given those fuckers community. dammit .

    I guess you have to take the good with the bad, eh?

  • When you’re a Star (Trek villain), they let you do it

  • Even "Didier Maxmimilien" seems over-the-top. his parents deserve a good slap

  • I get the whole "make an example of him" concept, but that can be accomplished by forcing him to embarrass himself publicly to all of his dipshit followers on social media. 2 years in jail seems excessive. other social media "pranksters" have been jailed for far worse.

  • ok, so it's not as simple as the headline makes it seem:

    A French teenager who allegedly licked a straw from an orange juice vending machine and put it back into its dispenser has been charged with committing mischief and being a public nuisance in Singapore....Didier Gaspard Owen Maximilien, 18, had posted on Instagram a video of himself performing the act, according to local reports. The video was later widely circulated.

    The company that owns the vending machine, iJooz, says it replaced all 500 straws in the machine's dispenser after the alleged incident....Maximilien had posted his video as an Instagram Story with a caption stating "city is not safe", according to news reports.

    Many online had reacted with disgust to his video, which was reposted on a community page and picked up by local news outlets.

    ok, so he didn't just "lick a straw". the little asshole did it as some sort of viral video trend going around doing public nuisance bullshit for likes and views, posted it online, then got caught. womp-womp.

    it cost the vending machine company to send someone out to replace all the straws and deal with people being upset about the sanitary aspect (asian countries freak out about that sort of thing more than western countries), and it was a whole public thing.

    now, do I think 2 years in jail is fair? no. a big fine and a big public apology (esp on his TikTok or Insta or whatever) should be enough. but this is Singapore, so he's lucky they aren't caning him to death.

  • today, Trump would give them Cabinet-level positions

  • yes, I see now why you just said, "marketing"

    lol

    still, quite interesting

  • well, there ya go

  • Ooo, clever. Offer to give up something big now in exchange for something even bigger in the long-term.

    Iran knows that Trump will do just about anything to open the Strait of Hormuz and end this war right now, and they definitely wanna keep their nuclear program going. Trump will get his pile of shit deal now and call it “the biggest best deal ever“ and leave, while Iran continues to enrich uranium for whatever purpose.

    And, of course, Putin is in the background playing puppet master

    edit: someone in Iran and/or Russia must watch Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, because it's a ripoff of this scene from DS9 - S06E09 - Statistical Probabilities

    like, holy crap, they're trying to outmaneuver Trump with negotiating tactics they snagged from the villains in a Star Trek episode, and it might work...

  • Scheiße

  • lol, no kidding.

    Do you have any more information on this? I’d like to know how the hell this happened.

  • Will they be meeting in Munich?

  • It’s ok to say ‘picometer’

  • Yet big news!

  • Ironically, it’s much safer now because of all the horrifying things that happened to kids when we were young

  • The only difference this makes is what table they sit at in the prison cafeteria

  • It looks like they just had a brief backend resource outage. It appears to be back up and fully accessible now.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
