      Someone took a photo of him taking a selfie. They have all been deceived for a second picture was made.

              Are you thinking of “I also choose this guy’s dead wife” which was a perfectly wholesome comment?

                I don’t think you understand the context of that reference, but it’s nice that you took as wholesome.

                  Someone said something nice about their wife in the context of having sex with someone one more time.

                  Other person said “I also choose this guy’s dead wife” as an agreement that the guy’s dead wife was pretty awesome.

                  Totally wholesome, the context doesn’t make it not so.

      Most phones have a front camera nowadays, pretty much exclusively for photographing the user.

          We are seeing a photo of “Zelenskyy taking a selfie”, not the selfie itself.

          “A picture of” is implied in the title.

          The actual selfie was a live feed to Putin where Zelenskyy was shouting, “I don’t see no damn soldiers here, bro!”, followed by “If you want it, come and claim it!”. Then he unsheathed a big sword.

          Still doesn’t top the video years ago of him doing a similar thing after Russian claims of hits, with Zelenskyy revealing he was sitting at the desk in the same location.

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
