I’m very much with you on that point.

I wish I never read this comment.

So you’re going to vote to release them, right? Right?

Yes, yes, EXACTLY the same, just like you said.

Yeah, it’s just your bog standard destroy the constitution, crash the economy, betray the allies, suck up to the dictators, rape the children, grab 'em by the pussy, suspend the right to trial, presidential personal thug army in masks abducting the less pale citizens, suspension of the right to trial, concrete over Gaza to make a theme park investment opportunity, armed insurrection storming the Capitol, defiance of budget rules, starve the poor, mass disenfranchisement of black districts, classified documents to russia 44 times felony presidency.

Absolutely standard. Just like the dems always do. Both sides, both sides. They’re the same picture. Absolutely nothing to see here, situation normal. Biden kissed a girls hair, so it’s exactly the same.

It’s not on opinion, it’s just how grammar works in English.

Also, hot news! Some people are capable of authoring content without an LLM!

Maybe try it sometime.

Also consider whether you might come across as defending pedophiles before you argue too long and too hard over how a headline criticising their child sex abuse is unfair because of some technicality that neither excuses the abuse nor is actually claimed by the headline.

There an image icon. It looks like two hills and a sun dot in a box. You click it.

Sounds like you still don’t understand and it’s making you cross. I’ll explain.

Devastating Report Details How Underage Homeless Girl…

The girl is the subject in the sentence. The sentence is about what she did.

Allegedly Had Sex With Matt Gaetz

Matt Gaetz is the object of the sentence. He is who she did it with.

For Money to Buy Braces

And this says why she did it. NOT why he did it.

So the headline was accurate because that’s exactly what she alleges. Getting all hissy about how he might have had no idea she needed braces is silly because no claim about that was made.

Spending all day objecting to the wording of the headline, in particular objecting that Matt Gaetz might not have known she was underage made you come across as defending a rich and powerful pedo offender, which, as I said, is not a good look for you.

A middle aged man having sex with a teenager for money and buying her drugs is starkly immoral even if he claims he didn’t know she was underaged.

Calling her “barely legal” as you did, when she was not “legal” suggests you’re watching the wrong kind of porn and you think that stuff is fine and take the porn site’s word that it’s legal despite them warning you that it’s on the fringe.

Maybe you has a more intelligent point to make, but “you’re a moron” didn’t communicate it very effectively.

Your only remaining reason to pointlessly criticise the headline is that you missed the distinction between the role of subject and object in a sentence? What a hill to die on!

Devastating Report Details How Underage Homeless Girl Allegedly Had Sex With Matt Gaetz For Money to Buy Braces

Reread it.

The headline:

Devastating Report Details How Underage Homeless Girl Allegedly Had Sex With Matt Gaetz For Money to Buy Braces

She was literally underage. She needed money for braces. It’s not a misleading headline AT ALL and wanting to put nuance on a headline about a guy treating a child like a prostitute is not a good look for you.

We actively encourage and enable enshittification when we stick with a big dominant player like imgur when they conspicuously start enshittification by deleting older content that doesn’t have a paid subscription and geoblocking countries that fine them for selling user area including users marked as age band children to advertisers. A simple filter would have done the trick. Geoblocking is actually harder to implement.

Other image host platforms exist and if we don’t jump ship when the larger ones enshittify, we’ll be left with no free image hosts and you’ll end up on your instance anyway.

At this point it’s not any worse or harder to just link to the original image, instead of rehosting on a corporation actively punishing its users for not having a paid subscriptions and punishing whole countries for sayng they shouldn’t sell the browsing habits of children to advertisers and other interested parties.

Imgur sells user data including age profiling and includes all the children in the data set. That’s what the UK ICO is threatening them with a fine for. I don’t have a problem with that fine.

They could have put a very very very simple filter on the user data they’re selling to advertisers, but they reacted by throwing their toys out of the pram.

Imgur are shitty. And they deleted a tranche of of stuff for people who don’t have a subscription. We know the process of enshittification, and we perpetuate it by not jumping ship whenever a big player starts. That time is now for imgur.

There are other image hosting platforms, and you can upload directly to your instance.

Imgur are corpocrap. Host on lemmy instead.

Why go to all this effort for a worse experience for other people?

You’re confusing those who were duped by trump with those doing the duping.

Religion is useful to him. He isn’t actually religious. He doesn’t have any actual beliefs other than that he should be powerful, rich, important, revered and in the news.

Protecting people isn’t his thing. He’s only protecting the pedophile friends of Epstein because he is one and releasing the unedited files would make him look bad.

Trump is loyal like Pluto is warm.

He loves people praying for him. He can’t abide people criticising him. Hates it.

So I think it is you who do not fully understand this administration, if you think that trump will protect them while they publicly criticise him.

He will not, and their prayers are meaningless to him. Only their uncritical and unthinking support is.

You think trump is loyal to those who elected him?! Moreover you think that loyalty extends to allowing them to criticise, oppose or protest against him?

No! Trump turns against people who supported him on the tiniest whim. He is the biggest snowflake of the lot and abhors criticism.

They support him. NOT the other way round. He has nothing but sneering contempt for people who criticise him.

Trump doesn’t care about Christians or what they believe. He only cares that he can dupe them into supporting him by taking away access to abortion. If you believe he cares about Christians he’s duped you just as hard as he’s duped them.

If they’re doing it outside that immigration centre, yes.

It applies to everyone praying outside the immigration processing facility. They certainly don’t want God getting involved in immigration.

You’re right. I hadn’t spotted that.
