it is the Ten Commandments' "historical significance, which is simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”

Alright, so let's put them up right next to the Hammurabi Code, which is also majorly significant to history and our legal system. Maybe highlight the part about how Hammurabi was chosen by the Babylonian gods as the ultimate arbiter of justice.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

It's my new ringtone is what it is

The solution to this isn't ostracizing trans people, it's teaching children not be disgusting perpetrators of sexual harassment like you and many you knew.

Do they... they torture them with a rubber horse...?

ETA: Goddammit it says rubber hose

Nah, the nakedness was meant to symbolize humanity gaining self-awareness, which separates them from the purity and innocence of other animals. After Adam and Eve eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, they realize they're naked and feel instinctively ashamed of that (as most people would, but regular animals wouldn't), so they cover themselves with leaves. In fact IIRC, the fact that they're covering themselves up is what tips off God that they ate the fruit.

I've always just assumed our particular corner of space is considered the "Florida" of the universe

Dude, I'm literally just saying it's wrong to generalize an entire people as a "cancer." If you seriously can't see the reason in that, I honestly don't know what else to say.

I'm not pro-Russia by any means but this is some extremely troubling rhetoric

I would imagine it's at gunpoint, figuratively or literally.

"This thing seems to be true."

"Actually, this thing doesn't seem to be true, and here's why."

"So you don't want this thing to be true, then??"

Maybe now you can see how ridiculous you sound here.

So this is totally random and unsolicited, but I've seen you around some of the communities I'm in and I noticed you sometimes use slashes to emphasize words (e.g. /actual/). Maybe that's a personal preference, but just in case, I thought I'd let you know that Lemmy supports Markdown formatting, so you can italicize words by wrapping them in asterisks. For example, actual becomes actual

I don't think you need to care about money more than anything else to realize that avoiding a potential lawsuit from a notoriously litigious and powerful company is a wise decision

The author's argument actually seems pretry flimsy to me. If the issue is that it's cruel to make a prisoner an active participant in their own execution, you could easily resolve that by putting them to sleep before applying the nitrogen. Breathing is only voluntary as long as you're awake; once you're asleep, you're no more in control of breathing the nitrogen as you are in control of your heart pumping a lethal injection throughout your body.

Save an ox, plow a farmer

My coworker flips his shit every time I include a ternary operator in a PR. He also insists on refactoring any block of code longer than two lines into its own function, even when it's only used once.

He is not well liked.

I've been waiting for this permission slip all my life

You are a beautiful person. May the wind be ever at your back

At this point if I can't find a "Jump to Recipe" button displayed prominently at the top of the page within three seconds of visiting I just nope out and find a less cancerous site

I would much rather have a golden retriever as my president
