For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.

"I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation...What age should you start to see public executions?

Kirk, before he got kirked.

If you want a dash instead of a list bullet, you have to escape it (or use an em dash):

I feel a bullet better honours Charlie Kirk's legacy.

up to you whether you stick your neck out like that

I think bullet is more fitting, in this case

Goebel Farms

Someone tell the writers they're being a little too obvious.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Goebel you say.. I wonder if they modified their surname to something slightly more palatable after the war, but weren't very creative.

Am I wrong or have they still not found any evidence for the shooter to be associated with any left-wing groups or movements? Seems like it's still a churchgoing, gun-loving, right-wing, Mormon boy who "had enough of his [Kirk's] hatred" and thought, "there is too much evil and the guy spreads too much hate" so did what he'd been brought up to do - eradicate evil... seems like Kirk is only a martyr for the ideology of hate?

This cornfield is truly peak vice-signalling.

Yeah if you read anything about his politics it’s just the same incoherent nonsense it always is with shooters. They don’t follow praxis they follow insanity cuz principled people don’t get the idea that they can take out the president or really anybody successfully, and we know it doesn’t really do anything. Luigi ain’t even a leftist, even his politics are kinda crazy

Someone should plant tomatoes in the neck area.

Why'd they make his face all big

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

That's a weird Hyrule geoglyph.

Is the entrance in the neck?

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Can't tell if it's an entry or exit

It would be pretty funny if someone dug a hole in the neck.
