I might get downvoted to oblivion, but I'm open to discussion.

Firstly, having read the full article... IF (big if) she's telling the truth and it wasn't even her then its hard not to feel sympathy for her.

Secondly (more controversially), is a picture of a noose racist? I mean, it certainly has racist connotations and I personally wouldn't have used it, but (bear with me) I'm not sure racist is the concrete conclusion. Lots of people have been hung throughout history, if you're not viewing it through a racial lens then are you a racist or just very insensitive.

What about if it was a picture of a mastiff? Or a police officer? Both these things could symbolise the subjugation of slaves. Are we really gonna ban pictures of dogs or police?

Symbols mean different things to different people. Sometimes people just need to be told they've been insensitive and given the chance to apologise with promise of doing better in the future.

There is a scenario where whoever put that up was not invoking the lynchings of black people specifically.

Just my 2c.

It's from an episode of Pingu. I only know this because it terrified me as a child and still haunts my nightmares as I approach my 40s.

Arteta: Team are jumping. Me: Can someone remind Raya how to do that properly.

Organising nones is like herding cats. The evangelicals do not get their power from their number. They vote uniformly and reliably, turning out for every primary, local, and federal election.

We are a diverse bunch with diverse opinions.

As a local, I really don't mind that this is the most famous Manchester picture from the last 4/5 years- genuinely a work of art.

Still pissed off at the non penalty. Was it a clear penalty? No. Was it an obvious error? No.

Reminded me of the David Luiz pen/red 2 years ago against Wolves that cost us fourth. That penalty stood with even less contact, and a more obvious dive. The bullshit gaslighting afterwards from MOTD, too!

Being able to pay for for therapy, or being financially secure to admit to yourself that you have a problem is a privilage.

Source: would like to do therapy but life/raising 3 kids is in the way.

Part of me wonders what a Greta Gerwig - Oppenhiemer and/or Christipher Nolan's - Barbie would look like.

Xhaka incident was a symptom of the malaise. Malaise cured, previous symptom irrelevant.

As good as he is, I'm disappointed it looks like he'll be with us next season.

I really like this update. Thanks for making the transition over to Lemmy such a positive experience.

No more centralised social media. I really hope more of us make the switch. Lemmy feels like it could become a really special place.
