Another fundamental misunderstanding of how numbers and counting works.
Is that not just rounding up rather than down? If you give your age in full years then it's no more or less accurate either way.
True, but given we all die it strikes me as a bit daft to round up.
In school, so between like 7-18 or so, we always referred to our age as what birth-year we had. If all kids born -91 are in one year, I definitely considered myself (November) as closer in age to someone born January -91 than January -92.
The Korean way of making it official is mental though.
I find the mother in that video at the bottom saying it was a 'perfect shot' extremely troubling.
Reminiscent of Goodfellas. What can I say, I'm a good shot and all that.
Why the negative spin?
Americans should be celenrating.In past years, gun-related deaths were second only to car crashes as the leading cause of death among young Americans. Car deaths, however, have fallen over time and in 2020 approximately 3,900 Americans under 19 died in vehicle crashes.
Might have to do with the choice of not policing anymore."The reasons for the increase are unclear," the research letter said. "It cannot be assumed that firearm-related mortality will later revert to pre-pandemic levels".
The article switches from 'US children' to 'children and teenagers', which means half of them will have been black seventeen year olds killing each other, and then a load of black toddlers killed when stray bullets come through the wall. But then schools were mostly closed during the period in question, so white lads were at a bit of a disadvantage. Let's wait for more recent figures.
Well, yes. Also, there was nowhere to go, so less driving overall. Doesn't make the country any less of a shithole.
Joe Biden's America man.
All Putin's fault.
Some bloke set himself on fire outside the Supreme Court yesterday, and obviously died.
There seems to be a strange lack of news coverage.
Hoping for an album cover like the last guy.

This seems like a bit of a wacky one. I figured a weird drug/gang thing, but once the details emerged it sounds like mentalist.
I can't say that this comes as a massive shock. Or anything of a shock whatsoever, to be honest.
I'm more shocked by the fact that he's 64!
It's always the ones you most expect.
Is there anything he won't culturally appropriate?
Those allegations have been flying around for decades thanks to those hoes who were rubbin their tiddies all over him for VIP entry and gifts but who have now fallen on hard times as single mothers.
If there's a modern day Jimmy Savile equivalent, it's him.
Charlie Sloth laughing right now.
I'm a twit

At Wireless (around 2011) he was constantly shouting "I'm gonna fuck you and your friends!" at girls definitely under 18. It's no surprise he's the black Jimmy Saville.

Yeah he looks amazing for his age. Maybe he really is black. I'll ask those mad nation of Islam blokes from that louis theroux episode. I still cannot stop listening to this shit
Reverse Chris Eubank.
Seems nothing is safe from the OUTRAGE these days.

Woman featuring prominently in advert? Tick
Positive view of Women endorsed? Tick
Ethnic minority quota on point? Tick
"Fellow Samsung board members, this one is a WINNER"
"Oh".
I was up at 4am recently to drive somewhere and there were shit tons of lone women runners out in the streets of London, so many that I specifically noticed it and assumed they must feel it was the safest time.
Yep, this narrative that Women are not safe ANYWHERE at ANY TIME on the streets after dark needs to stop. I don't know why it's being peddled, particularly using Sarah Everard to do so, which must be one of the most fucked up and unique situations leading to a single murder in modern times.
This constant banging of the "women MUST fear men" drum is jarring as fuck. As is the "we know it's not ALL men, but how do we know which ones it is!?" justification they use. Err, that's the same justification racists use, love. When did we decide that not judging entire groups of people as one didn't apply to men?
It's currently acceptable to assume a man might be a rapist because he is a man, but it isn't acceptable to assume a man might be a rapist because they are black? Cool.
That's pretty racist bro.
If you deliberately take my meaning to be the opposite of what I'm saying, sure.
Confirmed racist Spikey.
Get the point, but a better analogy for me would be with Muslims and terrorists, which the same people who peddle the Men stuff wouldn't go anywhere near.
I guess it happens because we're the ones who have the best of it in society and as such we're fair game. A bit like calling Americans stupid, which I also find abhorrent.
Has any advert ever portrayed people doing 'realistic' things? No? Didn't think so.
Exhausting.
Wrong.
Perfectly normal bunch of rapists having a kick-about.
Sure. I was just enjoying the idea that a woman could say they're worried about a black man raping them, BUT only if they make it clear that their concern is strictly on gender grounds. Because even discrimination has to be PC.
I think as soon as they say black they'd be on dodgy ground there. Better to just leave it to man. We know they mean all (white) Men then.
Reminds me of a time at high school when one of the terror attacks had just happened (underground/bus bombings maybe?) and discussions about it were going on in a lesson. Some girl couldn't work out why she got turned on for coming out with "Yeah but virtually all the Muslims are terrorists". Took genuinely a good ten minute argument for someone to clock and point out to her that she'd meant to say "Virtually all the terrorists are Muslim"

Both of those statements are equally stupid.
Although I'm not sure "Virtually all the terrorists are Muslim" is much better. Or accurate. It would be helpful if all the "mass shootings" were referred to as Terrorism. There's literally no reason for them not to be.
They're both stupid, they're definitely not equally stupid.
Splitting the thinnest of hairs.
Okay, I retract the Eubank comparison. He's switched right off there. The big posh rapist.
The official ordered her immediate vicinity to be cleared, but another passenger who misheard her started shouting "terrorists shooting", triggering mass panic, the site said.

Former Wimbledon champion Boris Becker has been jailed for two and a half years for hiding £2.5m worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts.
The 54-year-old six-time Grand Slam champion was found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act.
The case centred on Becker's bankruptcy in June 2017 resulting from an unpaid loan of more than £3m on his luxury estate in Mallorca, Spain.
