  • yo in 100% honesty that was exactly what I guessed it would be.

    Don’t totally love the song for its lyrical content, but it is in fact a Standard american folk song. Cripple creek is to banjo as Mary had a little lamb is to piano. (Remains so today.) I think she could’ve been classy enough to pick a different verse then

    CW child abuse

    jump on a man like a dog on a bone


    I’d add a CW on the link for child abuse (or similar) but maybe I am too sensitive.

    Other than that, showing the mouth harp to a puppet is a good thing to do.




  • It might just be unsolvable (via regex; especially without lookaheads/behinds) but I will try to remember to send you any false positives.

    I think the idea of having slur filters included in the preview was theoretically good, though I have no idea of how realistic to implement. And while circumventing the slur filter should be strictly sanctions when working as intended, there should be carve-outs for circumvention of mistakenly *removed* phrases. Which can be as simple as putting spaces int he middle of a word.

    If there is some log of the slur filter, or if you can search the site plaintext for *removed* you should be able to find false positives. Or it might be the case that the false positives are so infrequent that they can hardly be found, in which case the point is moot.









  • Rajiv Menon KC, who was acting for the defence, is due to stand trial next week, accused of breaching the judge’s directions in the trial of six people for a direct action protest at an arms factory of the Israeli subsidiary Elbit Systems UK in Filton, near Bristol, in 2024.

    …

    Nicklin’s court order initiating contempt proceedings said Menon was alleged to have deliberately breached Johnson’s rulings and directions “knowing that his conduct would create, or was capable of creating, a real risk of impeding the administration of justice.

    “It is further alleged that, in the same speech to the jury, the respondent made statements which were capable of suggesting to the jury that the court was not impartial, in that he referred to the defendants being prevented from giving evidence about Elbit Systems, and later referred to Elbit Systems being ‘protected’ and ‘wined and dined in the corridors of power’.

    “Those statements were capable of creating the impression that the defendants had been treated unfairly and that Elbit Systems had been improperly protected in the proceedings.”





  • What kind of job is it where people are just casually talking about hand jobs? At the very least, taken out if any context, a workplace where chit chat about who made whom come and by what means is normalized is likely also one where sexual harassment is completely acceptable.

    I’m sure the point of the conversation was to reinforce the idea of power differential between their club and all others. Going to a business like that when you have just attended on police matters and they will recognize you is an inherent threat and the subtext is that an abusive relationship will be established or reinforced.

    Imagine if a school teacher wraps up a parent teacher meeting by enquiring on matters in which the parent is in business. E.g. you have gone to see the teacher because your child is having a difficult time and the teacher immediately starts asking how much you would charge for graphic design or landscaping or if you’ll loan them money. Your business need not be illegal and there need not be anything intrinsically dicey about the transaction, but the context in which it takes place renders it unethical. And my example is significantly toned down, without any violence or anything.
