    Whilst that's certainly something that I would't do or feel comfortable doing, I would think that it stops some way short of inserting any part of the body into a woman's vagina, as social misjudgments go.

    You must be talking about this:

    When Reade met up with the senator [Biden], she said, he pinned her up against a wall and penetrated her vagina with his fingers.

    β€œHis hands went underneath my clothing and he was touching me in my private areas and without my consent,” Reade told NPR. She said Biden asked her whether she wanted to go somewhere else.

    Does the source include information not in either of these two links?

    Anyone who actually feels good about Biden is delusional.

    Anyone who actually feels good about Trump is delusional.

    The fact that they will once again be our only choices is a tragedy.

    The fact that extremism rules both sides of the political landscape is a tragedy.

    And, sadly, this thread won't change a single thing about any of it.

    I guess thre must be some law that quantifies how many posts on a thread are posted before Trump gets drawn into the ruckus.

    Donald,

    It is not your place to judge others by your standards. I'd rather not see it potrayed here.

    ive been shooting dance/gymnastics schools professionally for 17 years and know more about the subject than most , my opinion on the matter is fact and morally correct. thats all that matters.

    You're being awfully vague, Don. What are you trying to say? 😁😁😁

    More seriously, I see this stuff all the time on Reddit, but I've never come across it in person, not even once. In any case, Don, if you don't like it, maybe try going somewhere that has a "higher moral" atmosphere, like miniature golf?

    I don't know anyone voting for Biden -- I only know people voting against Trump. That said, Biden has done quite a bit better than I expected him to do, but there are some key things that he didn't do that he should have done and/or did too little too late.

    Ain't that the sad truth.

    Quoted message:

    Extremism is, well, extreme, by definition. However, I think things like threatening to dissolve NATO are far, far, far more extreme than anything Biden has done, so the extremism is far from "balanced".

    For a fact. But it is entertaining, and are you not entertained? 😁

    Can the people who derailed this discussion from useful to garbage get banned please? Their behavior patterns are pretty apparent at this point.

    You showed it here. Doesn't seem to be very 'cancelled' to me. Or are you suggesting that people shouldn't have the freedom to refrain from posting things that they think others might find offensive?

    You know we don't do that here. You'll only get banned for breaking the conditions of service, and even then you'll be warned nicely and invited to correct the error. The only people that have been banned here are those that insisted on posting material contrary to those conditions (which basically means legally questionable in decent jurisdictions) repeatedly even after being asked to desist.

    To you maybe. People are allowed to follow the discussion in the direction they want, so long as they keep to the conditions of service. We do mve things to the dumpster if they seem to be too much of a diversion - but this thread was following an overtly political agenda from the get-go, so it's not surprising that it went the way that it did.

    Especially in the USA where the media is owned by a handful of conglomerates and the majority are democrat controlled.

    You are really stretching things suggesting the "handful of conglomerates" are democrat controlled...

    Research it yourself through the legacy media if you like, though they can/will create echo chambers that reinforce people's beliefs and shield them from challenging information.

    Did you even read the story?

    I was familiar with it before in any case, since I do have some experience in image processing. A (small) number of journals decided as an editorial policy not to use this as a test image any more. That is their right. No-one 'cancelled' the image. It's still available and can be reproduced, as you did here. It seems to me like a big fuss about nothing.
