Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I would add Elton John and Tom Hanks, but if I look too deeply they may secretly be British Nazis working for the Queen to overthrow the American government...

It might be an unpopular opinion, but it doesn't make him a monster. His reasoning for it is that he doesn't want to cause more harm.

Locking people up isn't right either but he is entitled to a point of view

Sure it doesn’t make him a monster. It isn’t going to make me stop loving his music. But it does make me question his judgement.

He’s an addict, so he needs to avoid things that may trigger his addictive habits. He talks about weed leading to worse drugs. But not everyone is an addict.

I’ve been using weed for like, fifteen years. Have never been tempted to try anything harder. Most people I know who partake are the same way. Making weed illegal because addicts might go on to try harder drugs is ridiculous in a world with alcohol in it.

Reducing other's freedoms because they're bad for you is something I'd consider evil. People should be allowed to make choices for themselves. If you think they're harmful than you should try to educate people, but you shouldn't try to make them having a choice (which you were allowed to make) illegal.

Costco made their CEO a multi-billionaire, that means billions of dollars that could have stayed in the customers' pockets or that could have been redistributed to all employees.
