Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Believe it or not, straight to jail.

Wait till you hear that he stole the prison bus on his way there

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, that's just double jeopardy. Can't get him for the same crime twice!

only if he stole the same truck!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, but wouldn’t he have to steal the same truck at the same time for it to be considered the same crime?

Otherwise he just really seems to like that truck he keeps stealing.

What if he and his identical twin stole two identical cars at the same time?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He just wants to be wanted by somebody. He was wanted for stealing a vehicle, so logically he stole another one so they would want him even more.

A government vehicle no less. That's sure to get the government's attention.

The prophecies say that one day, all vehicles in the region will be parked at the Pawnee County courthouse.
