He (and his then gf Jemima Goldsmith) got a lifetime injunction against Sylvie Berki who made allegations that he had raped her

I’m sitting on a train reading that and it must have been a weird look for other passengers as I was constantly grimacing! I may have verbally exclaimed a few times as well!

Being pedantic about CSAM was entirely unnecessary.

Direct your energy to more productive outlets

The operative word is “suggests”.

Just like I would “suggest” that instead of being pedantic about child abuse, you go have a wash, go outside and get some sunlight on your skin.

Please don’t use the phrase “CP” but instead the correct term ‘CSAM’.

‘Porn’ suggests consent

Nope. They’re a pair of cunts that deserve longer and it’s not a zero sum game. We can, and should, have be jailing both

One claimed he was so drunk he doesn’t remember loading up his range rover, driving to the parking spot then carrying the equipment to the tree, cutting it down with precision not expected of someone blind drunk, carried all the kit back to the car, drive home then had a moment of clarity.

The other one said he’s such a weak idiot that the other one led him astray

The sentencing is to (slow - bah it was meant to be…) show that wilful destruction of ancient trees and heritage sites will not go unpunished.

They are a pair of cunts that destroyed a beloved tree and I disagree, if they hadn’t been jailed, they would very likely do something similar again seeing as they revelled in the media attention and took keepsakes.

They had enough practice in Africa prior to carrying it out home

we’re gonna end up with /r/sinkpissers. Lol

In all seriousness, you really don’t want a mass exodus from Reddit to Lemmy instances. It’s better that it’s slowly so growth is managed but even more important, user quality is maintained!

When the Digg exodus happened, Reddit literally overnight went from a considered discussion board to full of ascii art, 1 line shit witty or pun comments, lyric threads and the signal to noise ratio went to shit.

On top of that there were constant stability issues that were compounded by all the thickos constantly hammering F5.

Maybe they should try looking a bit closer to home with that they were rescued from bankruptcy by Russian oligarch donations and one of their favoured sons awarded a position in the House of Lords to the billionaire son of a former KGB director!

I was reading a good blog the other day from a guy that runs his law form entirely from a FOSS stack from home & uses ‘hugo’ to generate flat html files from markdown for his blog & mkdocs for static files.

I saw some of it & the guy is barely coherent. If he came into work like that, I would have him breathalysed & drug screened!

Pixelfed has been live for a while and Loops is in beta.

For my invite the other and whole not as fully featured as some corp owned short form video apps, it looks good & has multiple things over the others

Do you want a top 3 or a full list?

If the latter, we could be here for days…

I’m not in the US so that’s your first fuck up.

Secondly, the misused ‘they’re’ was me not proofreading autocorrect too closely while I was on the train this morning.

You are an insufferable elitist bore.

for what is essentially uncharted territory.

Neoliberalism has been very well explored for the last 45 years and has failed. It is a dead ideeology that needs to be assigned to the dustbin of history as a terribly shit idea.

That’s them being an elitist prick, full of English exceptionalism.

You could look through their previous comments and probably find that they invariably wear the badge of “political moderate” but their world view based around their superiority seeps through eventually.

There appears to be a lack of “centrist”, non-political, or right-wing voices (and I don’t mean extreme MAGA-type views, but rather more moderate conservative positions).

TBF, they don’t exist.

They’re might be some that on appearance hold reasonable views that are considered centrist /moderate conservative but if their privilege is questioned or their fragile egos get scuffed, they always and invariably go full on far right.

Their moderate views are just a veneer that are held to appear as such and never stand up to pressure.
