news
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
Kind of hard to tell from the quality/angle, but he doesn't have Luigi's thick monobrow. The chin looks different to me as well.
Some of it could be angle, but yeah chin seems longer and as if it has a sharper cut. Nose seems more rounded too.
This
Compared to
Lighting, angles, even picture fidelity can do a lot to change the structure of a face, not to mention lenses (look at your face on a phone cam compared to a camera with a lens that's more than a micrometer away from the shutter) so though I agree the chin looks off... in almost all pictures, it's not at all impossibe. The teeth seem different for me and no lens will make a tooth gap where there isn't one, but that could also just be a shadow or a weird pixel. The eyebrows too. I'd love to see the whole security cam footage of him revealing his face in that hostel. Also his nose seems different.
not trying to argue whether this is/isn't the dude, I've had questions about the eyebrows etc too, but
I have unfortunate personal experience to the contrary. I do not have a gap between my front teeth irl, but I have an old driver's license photo from my early 20s that makes it look like you could put two quarters between them.
it was so bad, I said I lost it and paid to do the whole process over again just to get a new picture done, I could not be taking that out to the bars with me 💀 but it was so funny that I kept it and genuinely enjoy showing it off. it's ridiculous, idk how tf the lighting made that happen, but it did 🤷
if there were any way to post it without doxxing myself, I would, because it is genuinely that hilariously bad.
Wow that's horrible, but also very funny. Now I know!
Need an in-custody picture of him smiling to really tell. And good luck getting one of those int the time period it would still be relevant.
The nose is definitely different imo. Even in the other picture of the hostel guy the nose doesn't look exactly the same. Looking at the picture again the hostel guy seems to have much thicker eyelashes than Luigi.
Looks like the hostel guy has a strand of hair visible above his right eye as well? That would imply he has a different haircut to Luigi
That would be his eyebrow
His nose looks distinctively the same to me. It has a somewhat unique break about 2/3 from the top that is present in all photos. Plus if you look at the hair pattern of his eyebrows against his nose, I see it in the CCTV photo too.
I see the same eyebrow pattern too, but I see the nose in CCTV photo as rounded, whereas Luigi has a slight tilt/sharper angle, but it's all just pixels and wishful thinking really. I'm not gonna look more at the italian thirst trap assassin himbo
