I have only read a few emails, but is there no chance they’re just being evil and crass and making jokes? I have no doubt Trump is guilty of heinous crimes, but like, surely they’re joking about him blowing the horse?? I guess nothing is off the table at this point, but still
It’s really innocuous. I get it can be annoying but it’s like one dude replacing like half of his "th"s with þ. I don’t think a single character is going to bring Lemmy to its knees.
I have an iPhone 13 with stock keyboard 😬 There are some popular alternative keyboards for android, but ive been out of the game too long
I’m sorry Lemmy is so strangely hostile about this.
i can just hold ‘t’ on my phone keyboard
It’s not þat bad
Yeah the BBC has been credibly accused of this and surely other MSM sources. In this exact case, the detained are quite actually alleging mistreatment, which has been corroborated by others there, but not proven. The IDF thugs are responding to the allegations with a statement, they don’t allege back. I dunno, of all the examples of double standards, this one seems most innocuous, but i do take your point.
I get the semantics, but “allege” is standard journalistic practice. Reporting on it is calling it out.
I get it! For those like me who are lacking context, here’s a decent article:

Im not old enough to remember any reporting at the time, but I have found NPR to be one of the best mainstream sources of news. These critiques are valid, but feel the typical leftist purity test
I mean, I agree that it’s stupid to not be an environmentalist, but it sounds like you’re criticizing NPR for correctly using the english language and adhering to journalistic practices
NPR is highly critical of [insert atrocity here]. I doubt you can find an example where they’re not.
That’s just how headlines work. “Experts say X,” “Politician says Y” – that’s inoffensive.
Environmentalist is a well-understood term with meaning. There are people who are not environmentalists. Yeah it is ridiculous that anyone isn’t
I have listened to dozens of stories on climate change, pollution, etc. over the years. I mean look up “NPR fossil fuels” and you’ll see pages upon pages of critical, factual reporting. I’m not sure they’re beholden to the fossil fuel industry - have any more info?

Definitely was a thing then too
exactly! total exoneration!!! now let’s please focus on real issues like the 17 trans college athletes running or swimming or hitting balls with their wicked appendages

I’m relaxed!! I was just disappointed :(
as much as i enjoy their feud with streaming services and trump, i find the new stuff to be remarkably unfunny

Plus ADHD fucks up ur ability to muster the energy/intention to do tasks, especially ones you don’t want to do already. If I am asked to do something I already intended on doing, it saps the energy from me too.
