I’m sure Laura Kuenssberg’s salary could save them a few bob.

You think words can be dehumanizing but not actions?

No, I think dehumanisation is a verb, it’s something someone does to another person. It’s something you’re doing, but you justify it when it’s something your victim also does. But that makes you no better than them - you’re both engaging in dehumanisation. The act is abhorrent no matter the excuse. And yet, you defend it, because you think your feelings are exceptional.

More to the point, they’re generally beloved by children and parents, and almost everyone really.

The fun thing is we name all the variations on traffic light crossings too, eg pelican, puffin, toucan crossings. It’s bloody lovely.

it’s a dehumanizing act.

There is no such thing.

break that contract in such a way as rape then you void your “humanity”.

And the next step is for government to redefine what “breaks that contract”, thereby dehumanising whoever they like.

You’re just looking for an excuse to jerk off your violence boner.

America is a really fucking big country, and the quality of your education varies so wildly.

I’ve been in the US education system and others, the US system is definitely gimped in so many ways. Albeit, while in others I learned more, in the US system I learned how to touch type thanks to some stupid asterisk character called Qwerty - other countries would’ve left me to just learn online (which is ultimately where I really cut my teeth, but the foundation gave me a level up).

Lol lemmy.zip blocks UK IP addresses.

Dehumanising rhetoric is disgusting regardless of whoever it’s targeted at.

Stop it. It makes you worse than anyone you criticise.

My guess is they dared to stop on the road instead of paying to go into the drop off area.

Yeah the imgur UK block is actually just self-censorship. They claim they did it in solidarity because of the Online Safety Act, but in reality they did it to evade investigation into their dodgy financial dealings.

Oh wow, I’m impressed by your in depth knowledge of teenage girls and life in Afghanistan. I should have known you were an expert and everything you’ve said is based on experience and fact.

So if they’re not angels, what are they? Do you think they behaved the same way in their previous country? What do you think motivates them?

Have you considered that the same people paying Farage to get you to parrot “stop the boats” might also pay migrants to go into other countries and destabilise them? And you do it for free… you’re such a mug.

How many teenage girls do you know who’ve been victimised?

The irony of posting an imgur link to a UK com. Yay post was edited with more sauces!

Glad to see xcancel is back though, last I tried it they were offline after a cease & desist from X.

I bet this ad was timed to how long it takes to pour a Guinness, too.

It says

Do not photograph or film people in public

In the UK, you should not take pictures of videos of someone without their permission.

It’s not only confusing, it’s trying to simplify a nuanced law, but coming out with something much more restrictive.

Everything in the information is fine, except the bit about “you’re not able to photograph people without their permission”.

While in the context of the topic that’s true, in general you are allowed to photograph people in public. It’s what you do and the intent behind taking the photos that matters.

The big concern is that people will think this strict “you can never photograph without permission” take from the Home Office is accurate, and then use it to justify harassment of anyone with a camera that they don’t like.

The arrests are on conspiracy to commit murder, sounds like the police found messages on their phone about them targeting this guy.

Also they keep showing that picture of him dressed up, like from a wedding or something. This is probably a more recent picture:

Not sure how old the other photo is - looks like the same glasses, but also in the other photo he looks more like a young kid than a 27 year old man.

Hopefully they find enough to convict.

The point is to put them on medication and release them from prison. The suppression drugs are at least temporary.

However, ministers are re-evaluating whether to press ahead with Shabana Mahmood’s pledge to explore mandatory chemical castration of serious sex offenders, such as paedophiles and rapists.

This part is the cruelty is the point part.

Not to defend rapists and paedophiles, but chemical castration was what they did to Alan Turing. The government and the legal system cannot be trusted to implement such harsh punishment and not inflict it on innocents.

And more poignantly, Turing’s castration was voluntary as a condition of his early release.
