Because they’re different crimes with different motives committed by different people under different circumstances.
Literally the only things in common between the two are firearms, humans being involved, and them both taking place on the planet Earth.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.

Really living up to that username.

Ah yes, notoriously arid Rio.
Did they throw a yellow filter in the camera, too?

That’s right. We all got together and decided to write moronic headlines like this.
It definitely isn’t just a handful of editors in a few newsrooms making these decisions on their own.

Yep. There was no need add that qualification because a conviction should drive voters away, but here we are.
This whole thing says more about the quality of candidates than the system, though. The fact that I can say “he’s demented” and you don’t know who I’m referring to shows that the political establishment has its collective head up its ass.

Yeah, two four day weeks a month was some pretty big context to leave out.

Our choices are three old dudes. Two are senile and one is brain damaged.
The bar’s low but so are the standards this time around.

So I rewatched the bit after seeing the post. At least in the version I saw he specifically said they were nicknames.

Yes, my insistence on ignoring the fringe racist group really gives them a lot of attention. /S

So the “white gamer bros in Dallas, Texas” had no overlap with 4 chan users who realized they were in front of cameras and could do some trolling IRL?
I had heard that “white gamer bros” were few and far between on 4 chan, and certainly weren’t the sort to start or support any of the trolling the site was notorious for. /S

Enough is enough. Letting neo Nazis dictate how we behave gives them power. I, for one, refuse to do that.

So we’re just going to let one fringe group ruin a decades old gesture? We’re going to give crackpots that kind of power?
Fuck that.

That’s a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. They only use it because CNN and the ADL wouldn’t backtrack, this giving their claims validity after the fact.
We, the public, can stop that bullshit in it’s tracks by rejecting the whole premise and insisting on the actual, innocent meaning of the gesture.

4 chan started a prank saying that the ok sign was actually spelling out “WP” meaning “white power”.
The ADL and a bunch of news agencies bought it hook, line, and sinker. Pretty quickly scuba divers, anyone who has been a teenage boy in the past few decades, and really just anyone with a pulse and a brain cell pointed out how ridiculous it would be to believe that.
Some of the groups that got tricked (the ADL most notably) doubled down instead of admitting that they got got. They found like one fringe neo-nazi group that started doing it (probably after seeing it on 4 chan) and insisted “SeE? RaCiSt Dog whistle!”.
There’s nothing wrong with the “OK” sign. It’s perfectly innocent.

Yes.
That’s why doctors and medical researchers are constantly trying to develop new antibiotics. Infections are scary and for decades getting killed by one was basically unheard of for healthy people in the developed world.
- Comment on Why do whistleblowers always do this? 1 month ago:
Not sure if you’re being sarcastic here.
- Comment on Why do whistleblowers always do this? 1 month ago:
Sure, but it is coincidence.
If there was a way to give someone pneumonia that was guaranteed to develop into a more serious infection just about every spy agency would be bumping people off left, right, and center with it.
- Comment on Why do whistleblowers always do this? 1 month ago:
It wasn’t sudden. He got pneumonia, which developed into MRSA over two weeks in the ICU.
- Comment on Why do whistleblowers always do this? 1 month ago:
I mean, he died of a respiratory infection.
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 1 month ago:
Bad capitalists, yes. The trend of “maximize profit this quarter at the expense of everything else” is a recent (meaning a few decades old) idea.
Once upon a time the boards of publicly traded companies could think long term and sacrifice short term gains without getting fired by shareholders. When a large firm prioritizes long term success efficiency still matters but so do things like building reputation through quality and retaining talent - the things sorely missing from publicly traded firms today.
