They really are losing their edge huh

Yes, I unironically believe a big amount, more than the expected average if you will, of billionaries and not so rich people are pedophiles, and they are all in it together.

    Don't fall for the trap of blowing your load on a bad headline. Sometimes it backfires. Like that time a lady wrote a paper where she compares transgenderism and transraceism (the Rachel dolozal thing) and it had a similar title but in substance she was arguing against both things being equal. As expected the online left lost their shit for no reason and put a person's livelyhood in danger for nothing.

        Although Liddle considered becoming a teacher, he decided against it on the grounds that he "could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids"

        I thought it had to be a parody article until I noticed the direct quote.

        It transpired that he had cut his honeymoon with Royce short so that he could be with [a 22-year-old receptionist at The Spectator].

        At newspapers writers often don't write their own headlines, the editorial board makes significant changes based on what they feel will bring in the most readers. Or what will turn readers away from getting details at times (e.g. violence used against left wing protestor or deaths in Palestine often have headlines written in the passive voice).

          The passive voice is actually a way to avoid controversy. That choice is ideological.

        What's the correct spelling? What's the double meaning for that matter? If I didn't have autocorrect you basically wouldn't be able to read anything I write.

          The y should be an i, but spelling rules are fascist anyway. I just thought it was a fun spelling, since when I hear "livelihood" I think flipping burgers, but a "lively hood" is a place where people sell drugs and go to raves (which is indeed also a livelihood for some).
