On the social level we aren't really all that far behind. We fire and destroy people because of their thoughts or just our thoughts we project onto their words.
Yes, we fire and destroy people's reputations, either for fun or profit or for politics--you can even hire people to do that crap to you. Also our civil courts, especially in family law, and our child protective services, are Orwellian.
someone needs to remind her she allready tried that
someone get her Alzheimer pills
can't we impeach Maxine?
or put her in a nursing home, where she belongs?
together with Nancy Pelosi
there should be term limits for all positions in gobt
even cops
You'd run out of cops
thought I'd share this article since Tim did a video about SErena Williams today
actually
hmm
seems like CNN updated this article without telling people because the title seems slightly different
didn't Tim share something that tracks news edits?
newsdiffs
excellent, let me check to see if this article has been changed
actually, I found it on wayback machine
nope, it says the same thing
no change log. huh
in any case
https://web.archive.org/web/20180909183146/https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/09/tennis/serena-williams-fine-us-open/index.html this is the article in question
both my girlfriend and I agree the title is worded to make it sound like Williams was fined _because_ she lost
does it seem that way to you?
nope
Nah, it says she was fined for violations. It just says those violations were during the game which she lost.
^
Nah, dosent look like she was fined cause she lost
"Serena Williams is fined $17,000 for violations during her US Open loss"
doesn't sound like she was fined for losing. Just that she committed violations during her match that ended up being her loss.
there is not even a way i can rewrite that would read she was fined for losing. Unless it straight up read "She was fined 17,000 in violations for us open loss"
the "during" is what really makes the difference because it means the fines happened before it was a loss, therefore cannot be because she lost.
i mean her first violation (the coaching) did not lea dto ther loss
her smashing her racket did
and the bithcin out hte ref was teh cherry on the cake
either way, the fines where not because she lost and the title doesn't make it sound like that.
yeah she just lost as a consequence of them. well breakign the racket specifically
i mean its well known u get fined for those offences but yeah exactly it should be more clear
She most likely did those things because she was already losing badly. Same as when she threatened to force a ball down that line judge's throat 10 years ago. She was losing and got a minor penalty, so she threw a tantrum.
yeah bringing sexism into it jsut makes her look bad. lol had to fact check the CBC radios reporting on it for my mom cuz they left out a few important details like that her coach admitted to it to stop my mom from yelling at the radio XD
