Nice. This is the first Lego set I’ve ever bought and honestly Lego is cool, even if I am 35+ years old. I sense it’s going to cost me more money in the future.

Punishment really doesn’t work, it’s literally a coin toss as to whether someone will reoffend.

Norway had high rates of recidivism decades ago and pivoted to a rehabilitation approach and has one of the lowest recidivism rates.

I find that people that can’t let go of punishment don’t care about victims and the aim of a justice system should be to limit the number of victims of crime, by whatever means.

People in Norwegian prisons have access to knives and have less stabbings than the USA where you can’t have knives in prison.

Last longer than real flowers. I have the Bonsai Tree and it’s great.

Leave the cloud.

Charlie aka MoistCritical seems genuine. I guess we will see in the future.

Thanks.

These are all example from decades ago growing up in the 90’s.

I was called gay for not liking soccer, like it’s gay to not watch men chase a ball in shorts.

I was called gay for wearing UGG boots as a dude. Like if we even want to accept gay as an insult, I would argue the person bothered by such things as what shoes one is wearing is more fitting of an insult.

Fun fact. When I had a house mate who was gay, it was very difficult not to use gay as a word for something that wasn’t fun. Like this show is gay. He didn’t mind, but still wanted to stop.

I’m not American so not sure I can vote, but I was I would absolutely be voting for the Dems, as the way it appears to me is Trump would be a lot worse for Palestinians than Harris would. This isn’t to say Harris will be good for Palestine, but if I tie you to a chair and tell you I’m either going to remove one of your eyes or both of your eyes and if you abstain I’ll take them both anyway.

I’m sure you would reluctantly choose to lose one eye and not both.

This strikes me as you’ve never had to work menial jobs before, as the bare minimum in the other 60 jobs I’ve had in my life is paying me money, and nothing more.

I don’t see a lesser evil here, both are going to kill my family. The lesser evil would be if one party is only going to kill half my family and yes I would vote for that party over the one that is going to kill ALL my family, after all it’s a two party system and one of them is going to win.

Good point. Although, I would question whether Lemmy is such a place as we really don’t have the numbers to warrant the effort, imo.

This kinda makes sense, I guess that means not a swing state (I’m not American).

Do you have to be in a heavy blue state to do this without fear that if enough people do this it will swing red?
