not a wet bulb temp the humidity in NYC today is like 45% and the dew point is like 65f

lol

I rate this meme 2/10 and think it deserves to be in badposting at best

my poor memes comm, i can't remember the last post that I actually went "haha" or saved it to send elsewhere. Hexbears only know twitter screenshots, decade old meme formats, and advice animal tier image macros my mother would probably send me on Facebook....

or the aids needles supposedly hidden under every gas station pump handle (lol)

I SHOULD'VE KNOWN THAT AS SOON AS I FINISHED TYPING MY COMMENT AND HIT 'POST' THAT I WOULD SEE SOMEONE HAD POSTED A MORE SUCCINCT/CLEAR VERSION OF WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY 15 MINUTES EARLIER WHILE I WAS STILL TYPING MINE.

this article is so weird and is doing a lot of legwork to have the reader draw a conclusion that hasn't even been confirmed by officials in France??

like 145 people were all stabbed with needles?? I mean, sure its one thing to scratch/jab someone with a needle but if you were trying to get someone to ingest GHB/another dateremoved drug, surely spiking a bunch of drinks would be way easier at a festival than presumably carrying around a vial of some injectable drug and having to actually push down on the plunger after sticking someone with the needle???????

Before the party, posts on social media had called for women to be targeted during the festivities.

why is this an embedded link that I presumed was going to be a link to an article about the threats/posts, but is instead actually just a separate 2 month old article about some UK Netflix drama about an incel??

In Paris, investigations were opened after three people, including a 15-year-old girl and an 18-year-old male, reported being stabbed in separate incidents across Paris, prosecutors said.

Fourteen participants in the festivities were seriously injured, including a 17-year-old who was hospitalized after being found sitting on the street with stab wounds to the lower abdomen.

Were the majority of these people actually stabbed/scratched with a knife or something - because i would not call the site of a needle prick a 'stab wound' (although I get the phrasing if that is the case, since those mentioned are victims of some sort of 'stabbing' either way) and for someone to have multiple across their lower abdomen sounds like they were actually stabbed by a knife or something. I mean, I guess someone could've just jabbed them multiple times with a needle

Thirteen members of law enforcement were also injured.

honestly don't believe that 13 cops were all also stabbed by needles, if only because they all should have been completely sober unlike the festival goers and - surely if you are a gun-toting cop and feel yourself get stabbed with a needle, you're not gonna ignore it and go "they got away" & yet the fact that 13 of them somehow all apparently did so?

and like sure, as someone who has been a t1 diabetic for 15+ years - it is not hard for me to imagine someone taking like a 30G needle and making a few quick pokes into someone's exposed skin in a large crowd & managing to get away - but to do it to 13 cops and 130 other people across the entire country??? and no one catches a single one of the perpetrators in the moment??

Two men were also arrested in the centre of the north-eastern city of Metz on suspicion of syringe attacks. The regional public broadcaster France 3 reported that one man had been caught with a syringe and a woman who complained of being stabbed with one had recognised the other.

The local prosecutor’s office in Metz said the alleged victims were believed to be under 18. One of the alleged suspects, a man aged 20, was previously known to police for violence.

The local public radio station Ici France reported that several young women had complained of being stabbed with syringes in Évreux and Rouen in Normandy. One woman was taken to hospital with pains in her left arm where she believed a needle had been stuck into her. In the western city of Tours, 13 women complained to fire services on duty at a music event that someone had been pricked them with a syringe.

The Guardian basically has the same vague article but at least gave a bit more information about some of the attacks - so let me be clear that I'm not saying 'no women were stabbed by needles' because clearly at least some legitimately were, but even with the additional information about some of the attacks it leaves a lot unsaid...

Like only 1 person has actually been caught with a syringe & only one victim recognized one of the other suspects? Not inconceivable given the fact that ideally, if you're gonna stab someone with a syringe in a crowd you'd probably do it from behind - but again, a lot of this seems like "there was previous fear about this in 2022 so a lot of drunk people/dumb cops are already primed to think 'i've been stabbed with a needle' upon seeing a scratch on their arm"

anyways i support women and think all women should be able to kill at least 3 men without impunity (maybe even more) throughout their lives but I think this reporting is on the same level journalistically as something like "200 Kids in California Hospitalized After Parents Report Finding Psychedelics Mixed Into Halloween Candy" or like "Thousands of Teenagers Dead After Doing TikTok Trend Across Country" would be. Do not call me a misogynist or say I don't believe women because that is not the point of this, admittedly long and unprompted comment.

damn lib on lib violence....

Oh Shenandoah,

I long to see you,

And hear your rolling rivers

Oh Shenandoah,

I long to hear you,

Away, you rolling river,

Cross the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah,

I love your daughter,

Away, you rolling river.

For her I'd cross

Your roaming waters,

Away, we're bound away

Across the wide Missouri.

The chief disdained the trader's dollars:

Away you rolling river,

My daughter never you shall follow,

Away, bound away and cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah,

It's been seven years since I've seen you,

Away, you rolling river.

Oh Shenandoah,

I long to hear you,

Far away, you rolling river.

Oh Shenandoah,

Just to be near you,

Far away, far away.

Across the wide Missouri.

maybe memes was the real badposting all along...

However, I am not a liberal, and she is, and there is NO coming back from that.

Well yes, inviting Hillary & Chelsea Clinton into your home (that you bought with your 'breadtube' money) to film an episode of Hillary's TV series is basically the final stage of neoliberalism

She has sucked for at least 5 years, arguably more - 'breadtube' (literally all of the channels that got popular off that suck, but contrapoints especially) and its consequences. she has been muted for quite a while for me but the other week when she added a bunch of flags to her display name "as a joke!!" she got the unfollow and I don't even really use twitter like that anymore but just got so annoyed lmao

Twitter won’t let me get rid of the flags because they have to reverify me everytime I change my name. It was just a joke about being a Twitter lib I didn’t know WW3 was about to happen I’m sorry 😭😭😭

Less than 48 hours later:

This is why they shouldn’t really be called “tankies” imo. “Tankie” originally referred to an apologist for Soviet aggression. These people are campists—they view the US/Western powers as uniquely evil and support any opposition power, even if a far-right oligarchy.

GIRL YOU ARE A TWITTER LIB AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. Your lasting mark on online culture in general is that annoying ass " they don't want power they want to critique it" image and the overuse of bisexual lighting & meaningless costume changes in what are supposed to be video essays!!!

You make $50k/month on Patreon to post a 1-2 hour video a year!! The last 3 videos you've put out in the last 3 years have been: a 2 hour video that basically boils down to 'what are conspiracies and how do people fall for them' with some nice set design and costume changes & then your like 4th video about JK Rowling and a video about Twilight. You are Lindsay Ellis core - stop posting about politics like your opinion is worth something!!!

why would you post a youtube video in the News comm
