Jesus wouldn’t narc on you, but he might tell you to surrender yourself to police. no murder is one of the Ten Commandments. this is how Catholic confession works, at least (I am not Catholic.)
I suspect the kid consented to the pastor calling the marshals, after deciding to turn himself in. otherwise how would they know where to find him that quickly?
did Ground News report that as fact? journalism 101: when you report on a rumor, clearly mark it as a rumor. or just don’t report rumors in the first place.
he called his dad and confessed. his dad advised him to turn himself in. he said he’d rather commit suicide. his dad called his youth pastor to talk him down, who called the US marshals to secure him. I feel bad for the dad… that’s got to be a genuinely horrible situation to navigate.
I can only think of USSR and DPRK. maybe Maoist China, but China (at least now) allows religion (though it prohibits Tibetan Buddhism and iirc Islam.)
I definitely wouldn’t consider DPRK to “shine with the best of humanity.” good luck to you if you decide to move there; don’t pull an Otto Warmbier!
I hope they get what they voted for. specifically, I hope that they’re on the receiving end of what they voted for. the Hitler Youth turned out for the Nazis, and paid for it in the trenches. same right now with a lot of the young Russian soldiers who supported Putin.
yeah! there’s a punishing learning curve but it’s sooo frikkin powerful once you get it. for my NixOS config on WSL2, I have it cross-compile age-plugin-yubikey for Windows, then stuff the (absolute) path in a wrapper script to use agenix with passage as a git-credential-helper storage, all of which gets set up using home-manager as my default git config. and it all just gets automatically built and configured when I nixos-rebuild switch, so I can sync it to my other machines.
unfortunately I have no idea how it works anymore lol. that’s the problem, it’s so resilient I forget how to change it! but I can’t imagine doing that in any other Linux distro.
!unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org is leaking.
between Gentoo and Arch, but so far down the y-axis it clipped off the chart.

at a museum in the US, a security guard yelled at me for taking a photo of a Miró painting. he pointed to a sign saying that to respect the owner’s copyright, photography was strictly forbidden.
pretty sure I had the legal right to take the photo, but that they had the legal right to trespass me if I kept doing it. :/
fun fact, Mr. Rogers testified at the Supreme Court to save format shifting, in a landmark copyright case:
“I have always felt that with the advent of all of this new technology that allows people to tape the ‘Neighborhood’ off-the-air … they then become much more active in the programming of their family’s television life. Very frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others. My whole approach in broadcasting has always been ‘You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions’ … I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important.”
the Court agreed with Mr. Rogers and cited him in the majority Opinion.
sadly they won’t get a brain transplant.
let me know if you find any countries who will take us in please.
it makes you a harder target. think of the SovCit and cult groups that squatted on Federal land for years. the government popped a couple (Waco and Ruby Ridge) but in others (e.g. the Bundy standoff, Malheur) the fringe groups were somewhat successful. sure, maybe in part because they were white male conservatives, but I think also because the government knew it’d be a bloody mess, and likely cause them casualties too. most cops are cowards. will they risk life and limb to bag a trans person?
basically, the goal is just to make it hard to round us up, not impossible. it’s harder to sweep us up if we’re strapped.
the brain worm was Substance D all along…
rare NRA W, imo.
I think this kills it. NRA is one of the sacred cows of the Republican party, they don’t dare defy them.
oh absolutely. I’ll take a full gun safety class and practice target shooting at the range.
we’re not all network engineers! there’s also uh… rust and haskell programmers, reverse engineers, hardware engineers, category theorists and topologists, uh… biochemists and physicists probably?
also there’s not like, loads of trans people. that’s why we’re so easy to attack.
we’re a good deal, if anyone wants to take us. a lot of us are reeeaaallyy good at science, math and programming. like the Jews fleeing Nazi Germany were pretty great for the countries who took them in as refugees.
I wasted twenty minutes of my life learning enough tumblr to understand the second note. tumblr is a strange and fascinating country, like Listenbourg.
