Is this picture appropriate or not?

Pleas vote in the poll.

Once upon a time, two men would duel each other to decide who was innocent and who was guilty. The winner was obviously innocent. Similarly women were expected to swim to safety to prove their innocence. The reason given is that God would not allowed an innocent person to be harmed... but I think the reason is a little more about strength. Fighting - for women, swimming - or any show of strength in the untamed wilderness of pagan Europe would mean you were theoretically too valuable to kill. Even if you were guilty of the crime, in the grand scheme of things, "God" found you to be innocent. I believe the racism and sexism - made evident by statistics - of the US justice system is from the same sentiment. Except instead of trial by combat, the "God" inside the judges is telling them that women are valuable, and that anyone too different than them is a freak of nature and probably not valuable. This sentiment comes from when human societies were isolated and homogeneous. As is said: all vices were once virtues.

The way to counter bad speech is with more speech, not more consequences for speech.

After all, I'm 30 years old, and when I was 20 I was still carrying cash, still posting letters, while still enjoying an iPod touch and a iPad mini and a dumb phone. Nowadays and even since 2020 just before Covid, I use smartphones, I use debit cards, few letters and few actual cash.
It's a modern technology electronic invisible world. Lol. What is material object, lol deliberate broken English. Lol. Was it really only a matter of time, our reliance on tech now? Whether 2014 whether 2020 whether 2024 lol. (I was 20 in 2014). Lol.

Is the irony of this global technology outage that, in the southern hemisphere, here it's bitterly winter. In the northern hemisphere (and jealously some people on holidays/vacation from the south up there enjoying summer Europe summer America's) lol - this global tech outage has kind of irony to it ; people's plans ruined again by, not Covid this time, yet by technology. Lol. Is that, irony? After all, I've been working, just like the rest of you, not out enjoying European vacations or American summer bliss. Lol 🌞⛱️ irony? Ah well. Anyways, I'm back at work in a week.

How will the ritual, menes & symbology be viewed? The Great Awakening? Red-pilling? The "Storm"? Pizzagate? A cabal of sex trafficking cabalistic satanic pedophiles? Predictions of mass arrests and executions? COVID and its timing & impact? If Trump is a true believer or thinks they are useful idiots? Have any of your relatives become adherents? Was Reddit correct in its ban? Is 8chan reliable source?

Paul Manafort walking onto the floor of the Republican National Convention possibly illustrated that the GOP under Trump has become thoroughly corrupted into an authoritarian party aligned with foreign dictators.

Manafort first advised and then managed Trump’s 2016 campaign. A long-time Republican political operative, he came to the job after the Ukrainian people threw his client, Viktor Yanukovych out of Ukraine’s presidency in 2014. Yanukovych was backed by Russian president Vladimir Putin, who was determined to prevent Ukraine from turning toward Europe and to install a puppet government that would extend his power over the neighboring country. Beginning in 2004, Manafort had worked to install and then keep Yanukovych and his party in power. His efforts won him a fortune thanks to his new friends, especially Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska. Then in 2014, after months of popular protests, Ukrainians ousted Yanukovych from power in what is known as the Revolution of Dignity.

Yanukovych fled to Russia, and Putin invaded Ukraine’s Crimea and annexed it, prompting the United States and the European Union to impose economic sanctions on Russia itself and also on specific Russian businesses and oligarchs, prohibiting them from doing business in United States territories. These sanctions crippled Russia and froze the assets of key Russian oligarchs.

Now without his main source of income, Manafort owed about $17 million to Deripaska. By 2016, his longtime friend and business partner Roger Stone was advising Trump’s floundering presidential campaign, and Manafort stepped in to remake it. He did not take a salary but reached out to Deripaska through one of his Ukrainian business partners, Russian operative Konstantin Kilimnik, immediately after landing the job, asking Kilimnik how “we” could use the appointment “to get whole,” and he made sure that the Russian oligarch to whom he owed the most money knew about his close connection with the Trump campaign.
