Dear God, there’s people who would legitimately rather have a big disgusting worm in their gut than diet and move around a bit?

What if the life saving cancer treatment gives the patient autism?!

Dude all but endorsed Trump, called Harris a baby killer. Fuck him and his nonsense organization.

Of course popes have a wonderful history of supporting authoritarian monsters.

It’s a slight buzz. People are substantially more dangerous when they are sleep deprived but no laws or severe punishments for that because the system needs its slaves to get to work whether they’ve rested well or not.

Yeah, agreed. Everybody likes to say “there’s no excuse when you can Uber!” but in a real world situation that requires an expensive ride home and then an expensive ride back to your car the next day while worrying if it’s okay in the parking lot. Not actually very practical when you’re just having a reasonable amount of drinks and not getting shit-faced. So I hang around where I’m at after my last beer until I know I’m safe and just hope I’m not slightly over that silly .08.

It’s a personal decision. Some of us enjoy the flavor and the social enhancements after having a few. I agree fuck people who drive really drunk but I don’t consider a few beers to be that. In fact, I know that a few beers doesn’t make me drunk or mess up my motor skills any. I’m significantly more dangerous when I am sleep deprived but that isn’t illegal. Heh.

Lines are fine. The punishments are too severe at this line though.

People go to bars and friends’ houses and such and drink. It’s a part of life in western society. There is a massive difference in being slightly buzzed and being sloshed and I think the punishments should scale. Just as I’m not trying to change minds, mine won’t change either. This is my unpopular opinion as the thread requested.

Punishments are pretty severe… Night in jail, thousands in fines, possibility of losing your license… Justified when the person is actually inebriated but I don’t believe that is the case at .08… that’s a little buzz.

Not trying to change minds here though. I know it’s an unpopular opinion.

DUI laws are too strict. It shouldn’t be all or nothing at .08 BAC but more severe punishments for more severe inebriation. .08 is pretty low and people who drink regularly can function fine at that level.

People hate this one but… hey, it’s my most unpopular opinion.

Yeah, no doubt. I’m honestly digging the smaller community aspect personally.

If they are being honest and really giving all of that money to charity then that’s cool. I’m hoping they are successful enough with this that it hurts Reddit, because fuck Reddit, but I’m sticking with Lemmy for now.

This should like… just not be a rule though. Why can’t we wish for violence against evil people? Who is coming after the Lemmy instances if users wish for violence against evil people? It’s not like we’re actively organizing simply by saying we like imagining healthcare CEOs having their brains removed via bullet. And boy how do I!

Then may the true assassin do some more good work out there and clear his name…

Works for me. I’m over wasting my time on platforms where I’m not allowed to praise the great man Luigi for his wonderful deeds and wish for more like them. Because that’s how I honestly feel and I won’t apologize for it! I can’t hide who I am anymore.

Edit: whoops. Wrong thread but same idea. Hah.

Oh, we’re not supposed to condone violence against monsters who hurt others for greed here either? Well, dang. What if I do though?

Ooopsie, there goes your money. Not exactly a good idea to cross your community, is it?

Free Luigi.

Yeah, I grumbled about all of the same nonsense for years and stayed, but upon having posts shadow removed for saying “Luigi” and being told I can’t upvote content that goes against the official corporate narrative… hell no. I don’t want to participate in a community like that. It’s sad to see as somebody who was on Reddit since the early glory days when it was a freedom of speech platform with an overall excellent user base where mods never messed with you, but… all good things end. Reddit being a good thing ended years ago.

Yeah, remind yourself that anybody who would do this isn’t a person worth having in your life. They don’t care about you.

Thank you, that’s kind. I promised my family I wouldn’t ever do that to them, and I intend to keep that promise unless it’s a pretty extreme condition like the painful end stages of a terminal illness or apocalyptic scenario. The thought of them getting that visit from the police and putting them through that grief is too much.
