HopperUK posted:Yeah but how often do you see them used for warmth as opposed to crime, in terms of media? I get having the instantaneous reaction that you then laugh at yourself about. Uh, wearing balaclavas for warmth isn't exactly a thing for the news so you might think a huge number of people do it completely unobserved.

News isn’t the only form of media that exists. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a film or tv show where someone wore a balaclava for any reason other than Doing A Crime. It totally scans that people would be set to assume that before they remembered “oh yeah it’s just winter clothing and it’s cold as gently caress out here”.

For most of my life I only ever saw people occasionally wearing them for winter sports stuff. Then, bam, Great Lakes area winter and you see a few people just rocking them on the sidewalks.Since I feel bad for the derail, I'd note that for me this was a weird reminder about how we're kind of stuck relying on iffy institutions and the media to help fill blank spots and form narratives. Which at least feels relevant to the thread topic.

I actually have a couple of balaclavas that I bought for filming in extreme cold in Lapland, but since moving to Northern Ireland my wife has persuaded me to keep them at the bottom of the cold weather drawer

Wearing the full ski mask in Chicago area can be very iffy. If you do that all the time you will scare some convenience workers for sure. Also, if you go into a store with a group of guys all wearing long heavy winter coats you can be mistaken for the Mob. Inadvertent cosplaying during the holidays in Chicago.

So the Josh Duggar trial is going on and each of his two charges can get him up to 20 years in prison. They charges are possession of child sexual abuse material and receiving child sexual abuse material. The judge has made it clear he's not loving around. The defense tried to have Duggar's admission of sexually assaulting four girls when he was a teenager dismissed and it was denied. His lawyers seem like morons and when the Feds came knocking at the dealership where he worked to search his work computer his straight up said to them "Was somebody downloading child porn?". The stuff he's charged with having is so vile and so horrific that the investigators who deal with that said it's among the worst they've ever seen. It seems very likely he's going down for this. Hopefully he'll get the maximum sentence with no parole. The Duggar family is a bunch of sick twisted freaks whose entire lives are build around child abuse and treating women as property. Get a load of this poo poo:

Some of the nuttiest Q people literally already excused it as “Trump obviously had to go to Epstein’s island and gently caress kids to maintain his cover as the saviour of America, he had no choice and is a hero for doing so” when it first came out.

I don't remember if this got posted or not, but apparently Rose McGowan's lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein got dismissed with prejudice on Monday. https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/rose-mcgowan-lawsuit-weinstein-dismissed-1.6277709 I didn't know that Rose McGowan dropped her lawyers and was representing herself.

Yeah, if you've paid any attention to McGowan recently it's pretty apparent that she's lost the plot, so this isn't surprising.
