I came here looking for the punch line, then realized this was not !dadjokes@lemmy.world

I have always taken the Zen Buddhist approach: "Make me one with everything."

Reddit. When they implemented their API pricing, they could have been upfront, but instead they put words into the mouths of 3rd party developers. When the 3rd party developers posted the recordings of the conversations, Reddit doubled down instead of apologizing. At that point, I washed my hands of Reddit. People who will directly lie in the face of evidence cannot be trusted. I have not been back since.

So many Americans are using cars instead of guns to kill people. We need to start treating cars like the deadly weapons they are. By that I mean, we need to stop registering cars, stop requiring people show proficiency in using cars, stop requiring insurance to use a car. It's what the founding fathers wanted when they wrote the 2nd amendment.

I remain unconvinced. fentanyl is already illegal, yet people die from it, so making it illegal is already ineffective. Instead of spending money on police, lets spend it on treatment.

Why would it matter if felons voted while imprisoned or free? We should not be incarcerating so many people that their vote has anything beyond a trivial, marginal affect. That is to say the real question is why do we convict so many people of crimes?

People already choose to buy and use fentanyl without a doctors prescription, why should they be treated as criminals? If a junkie commits crimes because they are high, that should be criminal, and if a junkie commits crimes to get more drugs, that should be criminal, but I do not see a purpose in criminalizing fentanyl for consenting adults.

I know a family that had 6 hours of pregnancy, and they, like most in the same situation, did not seek a late term abortion. By the time labor sets in, the fetus is developed enough to survive outside the womb, so anyone seeking to end the pregnancy without taking possession of a child, should be allowed to simply demand that the fetus be removed. It should be up to the medical staff to decide how.

You will wear the ear diaper as a sign of compliance.

Cheap microphone for the church band. We need a spare.

Cliff Stearns (R-FL) proposed a display of the Ten Commandments in the capital building (without the scoreboard lights) in 2005. The bill did not pass.

As kids get older they consistently show that parents, even enthusiastic adoptive parents, are falling behind. Enjoy your kid while they are young and they will enjoy you when they are older. Let the OSs and computers fall behind, trying to keep up with the kid is far more important.

Theo de Raadt. You get a baby mulching machine. And you get a baby mulching machine. Everybody gets a baby mulching machine!

Many work places require employees to bring their own tools (eg auto mechanic). Requiring a phone or tablet is probably legal.

The dark web has many truly anonymous forums, if you can tolerate the subject matter.

tell them about Linux

You monster.

Saying "I pirated XYZ", though, is admitting to a criminal act, and can be used in court if linked strongly to a person through their account information and IP address.

Type writers do not create right aligned text. They are monospaced!!!!!

The current Dream Chaser is cargo only, but Sierra Space would like to build a crewed version that launches without a fairing. The cargo version launches inside a fairing with folding wings.

I like how you use the word 'rich' instead of 'cartel' as if there were a useful distinction between them. They differ only on the scale of how openly they embrace violence as a solution.
