I don't support using it as a basis to shove politics into everything, I was just following that this is a common trope of people who do, which leans on semantics while ignoring the spirit of people not wanting everything to be a political debate.

For such people, there's no way to word a rule ironclad enough, and you simply have to make judgement calls at some point.

Since "everything is politics" it seems impossible to ever word a rule is a way that an obnoxious wannabe rules lawyer won't argue, but the plain intent of the rule seems clear enough. Enforcement will normalize the tone, and if a post is removed and the poster reacts will outsized outrage, in my observation, it was probably because they were emotionally invested in the politics of the post.

Really didn't think somebody would point that out within ten minutes.

The unfunny answer is likely that somebody tweaked the picture to up the orange, specifically to get a reaction. Especially likely since the reverse image search pulls up reddit as the first source, and reddit loves nothing more than beating a comedy dead horse. Finding pictures that were from the same event, people are noticeably less orange colored. Even RFK who does have an orange tinge isn't oompla loompa colored like in the OP picture.

Also community rule 2.

Yes Lemmy is smaller and doesn't have instantly fully formed communities. Reddit has been around for almost 2 decades. Lemmy is newer, smaller, and actively fights the sorts of shenanigans that Reddit initially used to get big.

If you want more niche activity, make posts and interact with posts. Lemmy is user driven- that means you. It isn't a giant megasite where you can just expect to be a passive receiver of endless content.

Both eyes open is great for the real world. Olympic target shooting is a very different animal. Don't think of it like normal shooting. Situational awareness is not a factor. Unlike practical shooting, tunnel vision is desired. Most shooters wear blinders to obscure the off side eye. On the aiming eye they often wear special glasses. They are focusing on absolutely lining up the physical sights, there are no optics in Olympic pistol shooting.

For comparison, this is what a more conventional Olympic headgear setup looks like.

Yes the hand in pocket is pretty common in Olympic shooting. Unfortunate that it was part of the list as it undercuts the rest of the valid observations unusualness of the setup and success.

This shooter was much more casual than most. Most shooters will line up with special highly stable, but strange looking stances.

"Decaf coffee"

It actually has 300000mg of caffeine

TSA has an 80% failure rate during inspections.

Everyone knows the TSA is useless. I know people who have accidentally carried fixed blade knives through security without getting stopped.

I wake up every day grateful that I’m not into speedrunning.
