I am kidding, but there's a truth behind it, so thank you.

Well it did take you 18+ times to acknowledge my actual position and stop trying to strawman so I'm not sure why you're shocked I'm repeating things.
Also low priced is a subjective term and I showed an example of that.
Oh, I still don't accept your denial, because I still watched you do what you denied doing.
You showed me an example of a different legal standard, and it didn't even get upheld in court.
We're still waiting for you to cite a private libel case with a subjective term like "hurt" being upheld as libellous.
No you just believe you did because I dunno maybe you think Uncle Bob deserves it or something
It got settled which generally means the company felt it wouldn't go their way in court.
I'm sure if you want to look into it you'll find plenty of equally silly things Ian Hislop has been sued and lost in court over.
Funny, innit? Almost as if they don't actually love America so much as they love their image of a super-masculine country where them wimminz know their place.
Doesn't have to be a disorder but simple psychology: people want to be at the center of their group. Coming up with new groups isn't always the best coping mechanism and with idpol we get ridiculous stuff sometimes, because people have the idea that their identity is rooted in some deep search for authenticity.
A broader point about standards of appearance. Which is crazier: transitioning from a fat and ugly man to a fat and ugly woman or from a regular bloke to Miss Nevada? The latter required tens of thousands of dollars' worth of surgeries and the result is manipulated images and tons of makeup anyways. The latter is much crazier, to me at least, but to achieve their dream on top of the respect they want it had to be done. Seeing these transformed males makes one question the authenticity of beauty which has become more artificial than ever with photomanipulation and filters. I still find some degrees of separation between the obviously fake (internet) and real life (so that I can scoff at a masculine person named "Jessica"). Though it could get harder; my female coworkers are almost unrecognizable in their social media profiles and they can't wash off their filled-up lips.
But when America was founded during the glory days of the Founding Fathers, through its growing pains in the 19th century with the civil war and Lincoln, to strength and dominance via taming the West, industrialisation and success in the world wars, America was a super-masculine country where wimminz knew their place. Such is the American way.
In fact it's only been since the 1960s and onwards when wimminz and black people started getting uppity and wanting a proper share of the cake that things have gone wrong, and that's only worsened as rights have also been extended to other un-American types like non-white immigrants, homosexuals and trans people.
What more proof does any good, honest, red-blooded Real American need?
OK, so just more strawmanning and vague references to other (media) cases you can't actually cite.
We both know that you cannot be sued for saying someone said something "hurtful", because its obviously not against the law.
Well I don't have access to an easy to search database of all defamation claim and google isn't exactly great for looking up specific stuff like that (nor is Scholar).
Ian Hislop has been sued for jokes in a satirical magazine so yeh you can totally be sued for falsely claiming a person has harmed others.
This piece of shit...
Mr Trump offered a less charitable assessment of the result, releasing a statement blaming “wokeness” for the team’s failure to win gold.
“If our soccer team, headed by a radical group of leftist maniacs, wasn’t woke, they would have won the gold medal instead of the bronze,” the former president said.
“Woke means you lose, everything that is woke goes bad, and our soccer team certainly has.
“There were, however, a few patriots standing. Unfortunately, they need more than that respecting our country and national anthem. They should replace the wokesters with patriots and start winning again.
“The woman with the purple hair played terribly and spends too much time thinking about radical left politics and not doing her job!”
The “woman with the purple hair” is Megan Rapinoe, who actually scored two spectacular goals in the bronze medal match – one a sumptuous volley, the other a rare “Olimpico”, in which she scored directly from a corner kick.
One can only assume Mr Trump did not watch the game before pontificating on it.
Incidentally, Rapinoe won the Ballon d’Or for being the world’s best player in 2019, when she was just as politically active as she is now.
Mr Trump’s assertion that only “a few patriots” stood for the national anthem is a little baffling as well. Every US player has stood for the anthem at every match in Tokyo. The team announced it would stop kneeling all the way back in February.
Rapinoe started to kneel during the anthem in 2016 in solidarity with NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who began the practice to protest against racial injustice. When other NFL players followed suit, Mr Trump said they should be fired.
Some misinformation did spread online after the Americans’ first match in Tokyo, against Sweden, with some on social media claiming players knelt during the anthem.
That was not the case. Both teams and the referee knelt for 10 seconds just before kick-off in a collective protest against discrimination and racial inequality.
Perhaps that is what Mr Trump was thinking of.

Trump pans his own country’s team after bronze medal win
Former US president Donald Trump has panned his own country’s Olympic football team after its bronze medal win over Australia on Thursday.

He has a point. We/The US have wasted 1 million vaccines, that's potentially thousands to tens of thousands of lives that could have been saved. All because of the idiots in the conservative republican party that is not taking them.
If I was the head of the state I would send everyone who hasn't taken a shot a letter saying your vaccine will be given to a developing country if you don't take a shot in a week, but in this stupid country we have to be afraid of Republicans who are murdering themselves, and potentially others like suicidal children because they refuse to get vaccinated while the world is begging for vaccinations.
By the way, 10k people are dying a day mostly in Asia.
As a cynic, I can't help but wonder whether this is a strategy on the Biden team to kill as many Asians as possible since dead men can't hold rifles, fire anti-ship missiles, or work in an outsourced factory.

7-day rolling average. Due to varying protocols and challenges in the attribution of the cause of death, the number of confirmed deaths may not accurately represent the true number of deaths caused by COVID-19.

Asia isn’t just China. This may be my old world education or lack there of showing, but it also includes Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, India and Pakistan. Hell apparently you can include the Iranian Plateau, Arabian Peninsula and part of Siberia.

So are the Chinese losing ten thousand people a day or is that ten thousand a day stretched across all those other countries?
Biden and Hillary somewhat are realists, to a realist, all countries are either temporary friends, or enemies, or neutral, but potential future threats. So if people die in say Vietnam who is our friend right now, well it still benefits the US somehow because they aren't us.
My only regret in foreign policy classes is not calling out this demented logic and also somewhat embracing it early on.

The governor of Wisconsin is a Democrat. Your link actually says so. And your source referring to them as "voting restriction bills" isn't a good look as far as unbiased reporting.
Like, 2020 was exceptional. It was an election in a pandemic, and required exceptions to normal procedures just to happen. Republican efforts on voting systems around the country are codifying some of the changes and discarding the others, and by the end basically every state will lie somewhere between pre-pandemic and post-pandemic rules. I don't believe any state is going to be harder to vote in in 2022 than it was in 2018. Characterizing these things as voter suppression is pure propaganda.
Like, look at this:
Wisconsin Legislature Passes Absentee Voting Restrictions
The Assembly voted to pass several election bills Tuesday, as well as legislation that will reduce the funding for municipalities that cut their annual budget for hiring and retaining law enforcement officers.
