TIL I can edit post titles on Lemmy. This should prevent some pretty annoying and pointless arguments.

You see the problem was she tried that in a small town...Fort Worth suburb.

Hopefully not too many repeats from what others said.

Yes and no, technically without "dead" and leaving the rest of the sentence unchanged, it could imply the cop has a separate murder charge. A better headline is "London Cop Charged With Murder After Shooting And Killing Unarmed Black Man."

Almost definitely the FAA.

We can't all be not American.

Because of how Republicans have rigged the system, it being a Republican problem necessarily means it's an American problem.

I tend to give jokes a pass. Humor is often contextual and cultural so some jokes really do require an explanation.

For most people, except apparently many in this thread, "young" heavily implies underage. When character limits matter, it's okay to start by saying "young," which is accurate, then clarify further in the article.

British, French, Spanish, Hawaiian...

Literally in the second paragraph of the article and the summary at the top of this post.

But as he partied with Los Angeles’ superstars and traveled the country for conventions, he also found he could use his fame to strike up conversations and develop relationships with young fans, including some who were underage.

The article then goes on to discuss his conversations with underage fans. The article uses "young" because his conversations with of-age but teenaged fans were also bad.

I agree, season 9 gets way too much hate for basically being season 1 of a spinoff. There's a lot to like there and it never really had a chance to find itself before cancelation.

Look at what Texas did to HISD: took it over claiming "poor outcomes" despite it being one of the best districts in the state. I'm not sure how it works in Virginia but they may try something similar.

Brings back memories. I haven't thought about that place in years. Glad it's still awesome.

There's a very real argument that it does mess with the consumer's head. The person being hurt is the consumer of the media and while some unhealthy behaviors can be okay in reason, there's also risks in terms of how it makes the consumer view the world and people in it. Violent video games don't make people more violent, but imagery in porn does affect how consumers of porn view people and relationships.

Yes. You are misinformed.

I'm not sharing it to discuss it. I'm sharing it to share the information contained within it and it's worth reading in its entirety. The discussion is a byproduct of the forum on which I share it.

It costs less to add a household than it does to have two subscriptions. Netflix was at least somewhat smart about it.

The news is accessible, just not for free. Doesn't stop it being good original reporting that should be shared. NYT does provide a limited number of free articles per month. If we only read and share free articles, then we'd miss out on a lot of very solid reporting or even miss the point of the reporting.

For example, earlier this month someone shared a free article that analyzed the NYT's reporting on near-miss aircraft collisions at airports. Most people dismissed the article since the planes were missing by pretty large margins, but that's because the actual story reported in the original article concerned overworked and understaffed air traffic controllers. The planes coming too close to each other is a byproduct of that, but that's what people on Lemmy focused on because the secondary, free source, chose to focus on that more sensational topic.

I mean, data visualizations are important and personally I think they contribute to the article by showing aquifer depletion over time, but do you.

Also, I've never really appreciated the incessant need to whine about paywalls [edit: sorry, not directly addressed to you, I know you just provided a link]. Journalists and editors shouldn't have to work for free or depend solely on ad revenue. I understand if you can't afford it, but journalism is a job that already doesn't pay very well. I assume you'd also like to get paid for your work.
