I literally won’t read articles if they won’t let me use reader view. It’s always trash news sites anyway so I’m not missing anything

The article just doesn’t care to tell you that the syringes were capped.

The Sun helpfully includes that important detail.

The influencer posted clips showing him creeping up on passersby and pretending to jab them with a capped syringe - just days before France’s massive Fête de la Musique street festival in June.

I went looking for the information because I was like “you can kill someone so easy that way, wtf?”

They were capped syringes for the “pranks,” but your point still stands.

What’s worse is that at the time, there were actually a lot of syringe stabbings in France according to this Sun article (it’s the Sun, sorry about that). I was curious so I looked up more articles.

I’m speculating, but maybe people don’t want to beat someone up if they don’t actually get hurt, fearing worse punishment.

You wouldn’t believe the number of people who think owning a phone and traveling to Nepal to climb Everest are the same thing.

Oh yeah there’s totally no difference between having a phone and going to Nepal to climb a mountain…

Genuinely: how fucking stupid are you?

This is not a valuable conversation, because I’ve already told you where I draw the line: somewhere BEFORE “I want to climb Everest.”

The fact that you can’t tell the difference between people traveling all the way to Everest and “everyone” makes me think you’re a bot or a troll.

Again, being judgmental is valuable, this conversation is not.

Billionaires shouldn’t exist, people shouldn’t go to Everest because they are insecure.

Not hard to understand. “But—” nothing.

Ok, you’re not even reading. Pathetic. I’ll block you now, bye!

It’s actually ok to not like harmful things! It’s called having integrity.

Your arrogance is astounding.

Oh, that includes all of the equipment, flights, and transportation?

For one person, right? Comparing it to a family vacation proves my point. A douchebag insisting on going to a big mountain seems a little different than a family vacation…

I will never mind speaking in absolutes about this. If you care about going to Everest, you are a selfish asshole. Full stop. I don’t care that it’s affordable for you, that’s part of the problem.

I don’t care if the locals rely on the abuse, it’s still abuse.

It is 100% overly wealthy, selfish people and the service workers they’ve trapped with them.

Spending thousands on gear, then going all the way to Nepal (a less developed country) to climb a mountain is the very definition of “overly wealthy.”

Nothing says “I don’t care about anyone else” like insisting on being the millionth tough guy to climb a mountain, just to say they did.

I think this should be part of the risk. Leave them up there and clean the bodies up when it thaws.

A lot of times the best food looks like absolute garbage.

Like, shred some really good Parmesan and tell me it doesn’t look like the shavings you’d keep mealworms in for fishing… or just plain sawdust. Tastes great though!

I’d never get my clothes out

Oh that’s true I literally forgot about those people!

I would argue there are still not tons of them, but it’s a good point

And everyone has a $70k car, right?

The people in here defending private sailboats like it’s something anyone can do is insane.

Yeah let me just go out and drop $70k on a thing I use a few times a year in the water. Nothing rich-person about that…

Oh yeah, tons of middle-class and poor people own sailboats…

Or sometimes history if I can’t remember at all.

Oh my bad, two other people said that too I was just excited

That is absolutely incredible!

According to the Houndstooth Wikipedia article,

The oldest Bronze Age houndstooth textiles found so far are from the Hallstatt Celtic Salt Mine, Austria, 1500-1200 BC.

Mind-bending.

Edited because I forgot a word.

It’s a bit of an odd photo to use as the main image!

That’s the woman that got punched by a cop, apparently it required surgery.

That is really interesting I did not know David Bowie did that!

I too have owned a fractal case and I really liked it! I eventually got rid of it because I moved cross-country and I didn’t have an immediate need for it.
