I love how half of these are just "don't be fucking annoying"
it is the Ten Commandments' "historical significance, which is simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”
Alright, so let's put them up right next to the Hammurabi Code, which is also majorly significant to history and our legal system. Maybe highlight the part about how Hammurabi was chosen by the Babylonian gods as the ultimate arbiter of justice.
I like Chain Slaughter a lot! It fits the theme really well, and keeping up the sequence without missing seems like an interesting mechanic to strategize around.
...driving people to go crazy with demand for the shai-hulussy-shaped vessel.
This can't be legal
Do they... they torture them with a rubber horse...?
ETA: Goddammit it says rubber hose
I admire the bravery it takes to be so wrong in public like this. You're an inspiration
Nah, the nakedness was meant to symbolize humanity gaining self-awareness, which separates them from the purity and innocence of other animals. After Adam and Eve eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, they realize they're naked and feel instinctively ashamed of that (as most people would, but regular animals wouldn't), so they cover themselves with leaves. In fact IIRC, the fact that they're covering themselves up is what tips off God that they ate the fruit.
I've always just assumed our particular corner of space is considered the "Florida" of the universe
I would imagine it's at gunpoint, figuratively or literally.
"This thing seems to be true."
"Actually, this thing doesn't seem to be true, and here's why."
"So you don't want this thing to be true, then??"
Maybe now you can see how ridiculous you sound here.
So this is totally random and unsolicited, but I've seen you around some of the communities I'm in and I noticed you sometimes use slashes to emphasize words (e.g. /actual/). Maybe that's a personal preference, but just in case, I thought I'd let you know that Lemmy supports Markdown formatting, so you can italicize words by wrapping them in asterisks. For example, *actual* becomes actual
The author's argument actually seems pretry flimsy to me. If the issue is that it's cruel to make a prisoner an active participant in their own execution, you could easily resolve that by putting them to sleep before applying the nitrogen. Breathing is only voluntary as long as you're awake; once you're asleep, you're no more in control of breathing the nitrogen as you are in control of your heart pumping a lethal injection throughout your body.

My coworker flips his shit every time I include a ternary operator in a PR. He also insists on refactoring any block of code longer than two lines into its own function, even when it's only used once.
He is not well liked.
