You’re doing that thing again where you secretly have a bit of hope that justice will prevail. Headlines like this give you that little hit of dopamine, don’t they.
“justice” as a concept serves nothing except the power system and those who control “the law”.
Oops, looks like this editor missed it too. It’s spelled r-a-p-e. Easy mistake to make apparently.
Well, they said they would bring pedophiles to justice.
I didn’t think they meant the to the Justice Department.
Drip drip drip
Yeah, he should probably take antibiotics for that.
Cue the “well actually” stuff from the people saying a minor is not really a kid…
Nailed it. https://fedia.io/m/politics@lemmy.world/t/1440414/-/comment/8213226
Did you read until the end?
I did and I actually get that you were essentially making the same joke to which I replied. I still thought it was funny that the wording matched.
Got it.
Yeah, this one landed very badly. I try to find balance between too obvious and too cryptic. I figured I would get knee jerk reactions but it seems even when pointing the second part out readers don’t get it.
If almost everyone is confused by your joke, you didn’t tell it well.
So she saw the pedo pedo.
I love that song!
Pedo pedo pedo pedo peh! Something something something Santa Fe! Pedo pedo peh!
She saw the pedo pedo
She saw the pedo pedo
He snort da cocaine pedo
Da pedo pedo peh!
What a horrible sight that must have been.
Well, actually, a minor is not a kid. Charles Darwin hypothesized that during the evolution of our species, people would tend to cue a fight they anticipated would happen in hopes it would then not happen.
Tell us exactly when a teenager stops being a child, because mine is two years into it and she’s definitely still a kid.
Woooooosh
Please explain what I missed, because I don’t appear to be the only one.
Read the Charles Darwin bit a few times till it seeps in?
This is a very stupid game. If you’re not going to tell me what I missed, forget it.
I don’t get it at all… My best guess is that because OP once heard Darwin say “people tend to cue fights they anticipate in hopes it will deter the fight”, that OP somehow hoped by saying “a minor is not a child”, no one would have a fight regarding if a minor is a child?But like, obviously it would cause the fight, so that can’t be it. And it leaves me with so many questions…A minor is of an age that they are incapable of giving consent, so everything after is just linguistic debates pushed by pedos right?What does Charles Darwin have to do with this at all?How, in this case, are evolution and fight prevention related?How is evolutionary based fight prevention and the definition of “a minor” related?Can a joke be funny, even if no one gets it?Edit: Shit, just got it.
I see that people didn’t see the comment by Charles Darwin and/or didn’t read my entire comment.
I read your entire comment. I’ve read it again. I have no idea why that means you are refusing to answer my question. Especially when you said “Well, actually, a minor is not a kid.” Not Charles Darwin. Nothing to do with fighting.
So, I will ask you again, exactly when does a teenager stop being a child?
I think people are kids into their 20s. Or colloquially, your children stay your kids their whole lives.
Cue someone writing, “Well actually, the comment was referencing the user CharlesDarwin and not the theologian turned naturalist.”
So your point is that Matt Gaetz raped a child but not a minor?
Okay then?
