Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Today! Very well news! Good journalisted news! Headlines:

My toddler says she will never eat food again in her life because we demanded she eats two pieces of broccoli.

The child rapist who shits himself says he will kill the world if they don't do what he says.

My cat says (interpreted) that he is literally dying of hunger and sadness if he doesn't get a double portion of his favorite food.

CEO of shoddily written autocomplete app claims it will kill us all if he doesn't get a trillion dollars.

Fridge magnets fell on floor, say FOOD ANY IS IS SUN FOR THREE.

Trump is panicking, such a sure sign of being a strong man and in control. 🤣

The Easter morning social-media tantrum was 100% a performance for his base. I guarantee everyone in Iran government who saw it, promptly muttered "what an utter dipshit" and didn't change their plans one iota.

He is too stupid, too egotistical and too unstable to be trusted.

Yup. Tomorrow is Taco Tuesday and I'm in the mood for some tacos.

The deadline was supposed to be today. I guess he extended it without admitting.

But, he told his allies it would be so easy to do. He couldn't have lied to them?

Of course everyone expects TACO, some measures that inevitably backfire, but honestly, this may be short sighted. If they strap a nuke onto ICBMs and shoot them anywhere that they thinks blocks the passage, that would "work". It would be insane and with immesurable bad consequences, but Iran would face hell and probably stop holding the passage closed.
